  1. Recommendations for a portable tire Inflator to keep under the backseat?

    Home Depot's RIDGID brand has a cordless compressor among its extended line of 18V tools with a lifetime warranty including the batteries (if you want to jump through all the hoops). It's served me well.
  2. Brake pad replacement

    I wonder if on a Hybrid the most brake wear occurs when using Slippery Mode because that provides the most coasting/least regen?
  3. Ford Faces Class Action Lawsuit - Hybrid Engine Fires

    Slightly off-topic, but li-ion batteries release highly toxic gasses should they experience 'thermal runaway' and if you ever find yourself in the vicinity of one make damned certain you are upwind and moving rapidly away. Underground parking structures with EV charging stations present a...
  4. what is this rolled up thing?

    And if you're tempted to go down the rabbit hole, take the time to practice using it.

  6. Do your own oil changes (avoid dealer service)!

    I suspect that those who needed an airbag and didn't have one are unable to post...
  7. Nothing to See Here?

    Thanks to Auto Expert John Cadogan (YouTube) and Mozilla research:
  8. Pennzoil platinum full synthetic vs mobil 1 advanced full synthetic oil in 2.0 ecoboost engine

    Quite the contrary: conservative driver—have 'punched' the accelerator just once since new. Perhaps I'm driving one of the 'soon to disintegrate' engines involved in the recall, but in over 60 years of oil changes never seen used oil as clean as GPSMan's photo.
  9. Pennzoil platinum full synthetic vs mobil 1 advanced full synthetic oil in 2.0 ecoboost engine

    WTF? I just changed the Mobil 1 in my Hybrid at 4,500 miles (16,000 total vehicle miles) and it was black as tar. And GPSMan shows a dipstick at 10,000 miles with oil that looks like it just came out of the jug? How is that even possible???
  10. Toasted Maverick.

    Can't find anything about rodents causing fires, but they DO like chewing on wires.
  11. Mileage decrease in the rain, hybrid only?

    9 years with a C-Max and always noted rain-related mpg decrease.
  12. Green color under oil cap (hybrid)

    My break-in oil was green, but a dark oil green. OP photos look more like coolant to me, and what was on the dipstick is entirely different.
  13. Minimum recommended hybrid usage

    I've always used the under hood posts for trickle charging, a heck of a lot easier than accessing the battery if you have items on the back seat….and I believe the under hood method is the recommended procedure.
  14. Dealer Stole Parts!!! (or misplaced some)

    The problem with DIY is when the inevitable screwup occurs, who ya gonna blame?
  15. PSA: Torx Plus fasteners in your Maverick's bed

    For the '22 Hybrid, the fibrous shield uses standard T30. T25 if you don't mind a sloppy fit.
  16. The Continentals are Junk: Gotta Go. 3 flats 3,000 miles

    Just an objective difference of opinion here: Continental makes a decent line of bicycle tires...
  17. ⚠️ Recall 23S27 & Delivery Hold on 2.5L Maverick Hybrids for Under Hood Fire (Notice Date 5/31/23)

    Reading this board I think there have been more collisions than catastrophic engine failures…
  18. E-CVT and HYBRID/ENGINE FACTS

    U.S./Canadian parts = 11% and yet engine and transmission are U.S.? WTH else is IN our Mavericks?
  19. Sudden power cutoff at highway speed, just a split second blip

    Might this be related to the just mailed Customer Satisfaction Program 22B39 12 volt battery cable overlay, i..e., the bad connection 'twixt the low voltage and high voltage cable?
