My old F-250 sat outdoors for 12 years. Won’t fit in garage. Maverick sat outside for maybe 9 months. Until got warnings of hail. So evaluate fitting it into garage. Reorganized garage, and now Maverick in da garage. Protected! Truck is 15 months old, and only 4,7xx miles. Hardy driven and...

I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable. Yet, still discovering the many secrets of and in these vehicles. And whatever you fellas report here.

I scared too to haul dirt, and then gravel on the spray in coating. And then dragging shovels on it. To better protect it, I put in a large HD tarp first, let front end loader operator dump dirt n gravel in the bed. The tarp also helps to get the last bits of material by pulling, rolling it...

I loved Turtle Wax Ice wash n wax. Great stuff! Washed both the RV and F-250 truck. Works for me. But they discontinued the product. So now I use another wash n wax brand. Compared to the F-250, find washing the Maverick a joy. I use a soft mitt on the end of extension pole to easily reach top...

When I got my ‘23 I didn’t bark at price with salesman or dealer. I was glad to find this truck. Now my 2011 F-250 diesel with <90k miles I was not gonna give away. One may assume being in truck country in Texas, the truck could have value, good numbers. But I approached Carmax for a quote...

Did similar. With soil. Had to do 2 hauls for raised beds, 2 off 2x8’, 2 off 4x8‘. Lots dirt to wheelbarrow too!

I can see the front support/jacks on the ground. The idea of a gooseneck trailer, any, is enticing.

Well, I’m not sure of weight, but did haul bed full of river rocks. Was told estimated maybe 1,100#. And also haul load of organic dirt. That estimated close to 900#. I laid down a heavy duty tarp inside the bed to help with clean up after we shovel most of load in wheelbarrows.

Looks like a ball type hitch. Can’t imagine how the ball/plate hooked to the bed, since no frame under it.

Santa didn’t bring the box. Apparently he (she) didn’t get my letter. Maybe a New Year’s thing?

One thing about those pipe plugs, they normally NPT, tapered pipe threads. And as such the taper is to be considered when tightening them up. Known to crack bosses where the female opening is, when tightening them up too tight. Also the thread pitch or peak is squared off. So when mated up...

Or if not leaving parts, writing silly stuff. Parents had a 61 Chevy Impala. Tranny issues. When auto tranny pulled, torque converter removed, inside the flywheel housing someone wrote with red marking on the clean aluminum housing…”No Sh*t”. He probably knew that auto tranny was “sh*t”. And it...

I would say torque more important than HP. Granted, unless going really fast, prob never use all that HP.

I haul rocks, but not that big!

Whatever it is, most likely came all the way from Mexico. I’m gonna guess probably from factory handling/assembly tool, fell out?

Instead of removing from trailer, try repositioning, put some in rear.

Long ago, in the 60s, the gas station in my town washed windshields, and wiped them with a sheet of newspaper. Back in those days had lots of newspaper to go around.

Know about Scangage. I would like to get one.

Two things on my mind… - Wondering who is mfr of these joints, and where? - There are CV shaft rebuild shops. Any thoughts of employing them?

Weird you seeing this. l lucky, unless an overpass steep, no hills, high hills in my area.
