Very interesting. I was hearing the same thing on my 2022 Maverick and the noise went away after draining and refilling the RDU. I'm at 61k right now so I think I no longer have coverage. That stinks!

I replaced both PTU and RDU at 5k, then at 30k and recently again at 60k.
I also just completed the 60k transmission fluid change on my EcoBoost Ford Maverick. Since my last change at 30k, the fluid was down by about half a quart. From what I could tell, it was not a leak because the...
Here’s my take on that conversation:
1. The Setup

Hi Maverick Fans,
Has anyone experienced intermittent connection issues when using the front USB-A port in their Maverick?
In my 2022 model, the connection feels weak or possibly defective. My phone frequently disconnects and I have to wiggle the cable or unplug and reconnect it. Even small...
I posted a few videos about the topic here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF0Id6LKrPKm6TSddr4g8wg
I replaced the PTU and RDU at 15,000 miles, followed by the transmission at 30,000 miles. Since then, I’ve been following the severe duty maintenance schedule, replacing the PTU, RDU, and...
Hi Maverick fans,
I just uploaded a video where I walk through replacing the spark plugs on my 2022 Ford Maverick EcoBoost. Hopefully it helps anyone looking to tackle the job themselves. Let me know if you find it helpful or have any questions!
