Guessing some inquiring of auto seat adjustment memory at push of button. Would be cool to have that if multiple drivers, like big fella and lil wife. Our Escape Titanium has the auto seat AND outside mirrors adjustment. Door has 3 buttons, programmable, to do that. In my old F250, wife has to...

Won’t happen to me. Jumped in pool with BTE hearing aid on my ear. Hair dryer it.

Great plan. A PM plan better than no plan.

I had a plan to change each fall, and each late spring , reason to have fresh lube oil for each hot and cold season. Summer use oil breaks down due to hot environs. Getting rid of it for the colder climes helps with colder environs. Just my preference.

I understand when oil is cold, like the 5W lower number, expects to flow easier. The upper number is hot or higher side temperature of oil viscosity. So if I understand correctly, the cooler oil at startup, flow easy, but when hot, getting hotter, gets thicker. So to speak. Believe the...

A good point. Aware of that. But the sample results did not indicate fuel dilution. Nor antifreeze, which I worried since the 2017 Escape models have history of head gasket to block coolant inter flow, leakage, because of pressed in cylinder liners with small opening, gap between them. The...

To clarify, from what I’m hearing the seat belt light is that lil red thingie on the dash. I was able to get driver side chime nullified but no results on passenger side. We do wear seatbelts, but turning into our dead end street to driveway habitually unbuckle early. Wife unbuckles hers, then...

When I younger, worked as mechanic in 60s rebuilding engines. Have good idea of pistons to cylinder wall, bearings, valve grinding, etc. So personally I do early lube oil change on my new vehicles. So I pull oil sample at ~900 miles, got report. Then dId oil change at 1,3xx miLes. Went with...

Well, that’s good information.

It would be easy to see injectors, their physical appearance, fuel lines and electrical connections to them, for both the top of head direct units, and the intake manifold locale. Unless they are covered up by other parts of the engine. So far no word from either dealers or Ford if they indeed...

That reminds me….long ago Evinrude O/B motors had BIG covers over the V-4 engines. So OMC spent millions $ redesigning the engines n cover, resulted in smaller, more streamlined cover. And so much better. They did tuck and fit up, some technological changes of internal components, like ignition...

Thank you for pictures. Pretty green color! Yep, the air intake different from my 23 EB model. But what I was hoping to see is the intake manifold with injectors mounted there. That way could confirm design change toward “dual” injectors…both direct ported and intake ported. It’s what Toyota et...

Humm, meanwhile us owners with 2022-2024 models stuck with potential “coking intake valves”? Anyone with the new 2025 EB engine? If so, maybe couple pictures of this intake manifold setup.

My garbage can full of them. Have the Maverick, and a 2017 Escape.

Some service writers just don’t know or spewing BS. Case in point - My old F250 in for oil change. He said rear end needs fluid change. I said I disagree. He countered again. I pointed out to him my truck has a single wheel Sterling rear end, and Ford manual says fluid good for life, provided no...

I get the shower bit.

Recently pulled a Ram 1500 stuck in grass, F and R tires sunk in wet mud, rear wheel spin. Used a nylon strap. Connect strap hook to the hitches. Pretty much a straight line pull. Maverick on cement parking lot. Pulled forward till slack out, then did gradual pull, while Ram driver reversed...

can tell you, was not.

I realize what it is for, the new on the lot models affected by stop sale order. Joke about seizure. But is it? The NTSB might flip, issue stern ruling. I not trust any. I was not in shower when wrote this piece. Will remember your handle, skip it in future. You might be in the shower…. There...

So far, the back up camera working Ok. Might be doing an oil change at dealer Quick Change. And if I do, will first ask if they plan to seize the truck. If they say yes, I will say give me $35,000, and you can keep it.
