Oh god, you sound like the large majority of service writers who think they know everything but really have no clue how vehicles actually work. This folks is unfortunately the twisted way most service writers at dealerships think. There is no way a manufacturer can legally deny warranty for full...
Where is it documented? See nothing about that. Just because a dealer orders one does not means it is the problem. You need to realize the caliber of people working at car dealers these days. There are a handful of real techs but the majority are lucky if they can figure out how to change the...
OMG, it just needs to be cleaned better. The majority of service techs at dealerships don't have a clue. They just order parts and throw them at the issues hoping it fixes it it. Little elbow grease and it will be fine.
0-60 does not void your warranty. :rolleyes: I don't know how to even respond to these "special" thoughts
Well knowing that the transmission we have was actually a GM transmission that Ford "made work" makes me fear using the throttle at all. I would never buy any GM product and knowing I have...
Very true. I am seriously considering trying to convince my wife to let me sell her 2021 Prius Prime so I can buy a 2022 Forte GT with the 6spd. She can drive the Maverick instead.
Our current design has us using our 4th gear, which was originally designed as 5th gear, taking us all the way from 45 mph to 71 mph.
The current ratios and speed at 6100 rpm with 4k tow and 225/65/17
1st - 4.69 - 29 mph
2nd - 3.31 - 41 mph
3rd - 3.01 - 45 mph
4th - 1.92 - 71 mph
I would love...
I was looking at some more videos tonight and I think I was wrong. It seems that the transmission actually skips 2nd gear not third like I originally thought. The problem is since the 9 speed design that this transmission is based on had the 4th gear removed which used to be in between the...
0-60 skips 3rd gear | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions
I started discussing it here and based on all the info we have found it appears to be no question that it skips 2nd gear under full throttle.
Put the correct 2nd and 3rd gear ratios in the transmission so it does not have to be programmed to do a 1-3-4 shift on hard acceleration like it does now. Skipping 2nd gear since it is geared wrong is disappointing. The current setup feels great for first two gears (1 and 3) but the massive gap...
So how many of you wanted a GMC Syclone 30yrs ago? I was graduating high school and really wanted one. Too much money for a 20yr old, then marriage and kids made it impractical. Next they turned into collectors and they became too much money again.
The Maverick is like my 1991 GMC Syclone. I...
Mine is exactly the same. I am pretty sure we have a build of road oils/grime etc right at the bottom edge of where the wipers stop and go the other direction during normal wiper operation. When the wiper is intermittent mode like that it drops just below the line it stops at when in normal...
I was going to mention that aweful banging the passenger front seat belt makes as it beats against the interior b pillar plastic trim. I usually have to just plug it in like someone is sitting there.
Ford must be going woke. The engineers probably never drove it with the windows open. They...
Explained: That Weird Throbbing When You Open One Car Window (caranddriver.com)
Well based on this article we must have a very aerodynamic vehicle, although I am not sure that is true of a Maverick with it's truck shape. It is frustrating that with most vehicles you can open all the windows to...
I cant assure you those are the correct sizes of u nuts and screw in the links but that is the idea of what you can use. You might need to put a piece of tape on u nut to keep it from falling into fender while you attach the mud flap.
I work at a body shop so I have a endless supply of stuff but I used nylon nuts like these so they do not rust
