  1. Gear shift locked

    It happened to my wife on our level driveway (parking brake off) in our 26 Hybrid. Turned the car off, then on (with brake pedal pressed) and it worked normally. The car had been parked overnight. It has not reoccurred since.
  2. Senior citizen Maverick owners thread

    Thanks! I built it to be a nice running docile power plant. Other than rather poor fuel economy (around 10 mpg) I have no complaints. I only have about 800 miles on it now - so it will be getting better..
  3. Senior citizen Maverick owners thread

    I bought the car as a roller in 2007 and it’s been a chore/struggle at times, but mostly a good build. Now that my new shop is nearing completion, I might be able to finish it in the next 20 years! 🤣
  4. Senior citizen Maverick owners thread

    only a few hundred pics or so - LOL. Maybe there’s another forum on here where I could post up more. Bugsy was originally found in a field in Montana with a tree growing up through the middle of it and has been a project ever since. I built a 10.5:1 compression 331 (stroked and poked 302) Ford...
  5. Senior citizen Maverick owners thread

    Thanks. Yes, it is a 1933 Ford Tudor that I’m just about done building.
  6. Senior citizen Maverick owners thread

    73 here. I used to build racecars - now, just street rods and classic restorations in my shop.
  7. Did another thing today - 3rd brake light strip installed

    I just ordered a 49ā€ strip for my truck too… — Don’t understand the issue with covering license plates - we don’t cover them while driving and they’re seen by thousands and recorded by flock cams an redlight cams everywhere…
  8. Most of the time my hybrid works great, but….26.8 mpg is not good

    Have others verified that Slippery Mode is best for Max MPG on freeway?
  9. Ford Midsize EV Truck News: Ford Skunkworks (EVDC) - first ever behind the scenes tour; sneak peek at EV pickup [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Do a search - they both exist. Just not mainstream at this point.. just one example…. https://insideevs.com/news/771402/every-solid-state-battery-ev/ …… Developed with battery maker ProLogium and Mitsubishi Chemical Group, the 100-kilowatt-hour pack can charge from 10% to 80% in just six and a...
  10. Free Service Manuals

    Thanks CarbonGray - it appears that info may not be available for the 2025 Lariat 2.5 ….
  11. Free Service Manuals

    been through all the links and have not found any actual diagrams. Symbol charts, location codes, blk=black etc… I must be missing something… I even downloaded the Zip file and found nada…
  12. Who still has their Maverick purchased new?

    Woohoooooo! Made it 3 weeks so far!!! 🤠
  13. Free Service Manuals

    No wiring diagrams that I could find… Ratz… Thanks for posting though - it does have other things like fluid capacities / type, that should be helpful..
  14. Ford Midsize EV Truck News: Ford Skunkworks (EVDC) - first ever behind the scenes tour; sneak peek at EV pickup [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I misunderstood the context and innuendo of the other guy’s post and his follow-up was rather dickish…. So thank you. I’m an engineer (now retired) - so I do understand that fast-charging any battery, Lithium or otherwise is not healthy for them. Deep discharges are also harmful. Which is why I...
  15. Ford Midsize EV Truck News: Ford Skunkworks (EVDC) - first ever behind the scenes tour; sneak peek at EV pickup [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    When Ford comes out with a PHEV Maverick, I will immediately put in my order. I love EV, but don’t love the fact that I need to be on a virtual tether to the charging stations and long charge cycles. Even if a full charge only takes 20mins, I’m not a player…. Bring on the Super Capacitor / solid...
  16. 怐Mabett Giveaway怑Anyone else already adjusting their Maverick setup for the heat?šŸŽ

    We live in Texas And spend a couple winter months in Arizona. The heat and UV in these places will turn vinyl into something resembling a colored potato chip and it dries out leather to the point of cracking in just a few years. I would like to get more window tinting and possibly ceramic...
  17. My Maverick street truck build performance sheet

    Thanks.. Hope I don’t get in trouble for posting these.. Moderator please delete if I screwed up.
  18. My Maverick street truck build performance sheet

    Impressive. I do have a feeling though - that your lack of really good traction is the only thing that’s saving your transmission and differentials…. Think of them as the fuse that blows before the wiring smokes. - Very nicely done truck! — I’ve built and fielded a number of high HP cars -...

    Why wouldn’t you just tap into the hot wire for the DRLs?
