Seen an online ad about seat covers. This one called Coverland. Leather, easy install, 10 yr warranty of slip on seat cover for Maverick. Anyone seen them, use them?

Too bad there’s no oil temperature gauge. Keep in mind whenever engine shutdown occurs, no more heat going on. And fluids begin cooldown pretty quick. But I wish for a post lube pump to circulate oil.

Guessing if hit big pothole in a road could’ve lost few electrons and protons. 😝

So Ford claims software update available. Other message venue, like Motor Trend, saying a May update. And not sure update, download via WiFi or at dealer.

On February 20, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V104000: Trailer Lighting and Brakes May Not Function. Sounds scary, especially if the trailer brakes stop working on one of those Super Duty trucks rated to pull freight-train loads while it’s...

Although only have 8,770 miles on OEM Continental tires, they looking swell, guess they could go longer. But i hate buying tires.

Ok, to all, i think there’s enough pow wow about this. May remove this in day or two. And decide if I keep this truck. I feel need not pay for a maintenance due to bad design.

Am aware of valves overlap, exh and intake partially open after burn cycle. Campfire smoke also makes clothing reek of smoke.

Agree. In DI engines fuel does not flow thru intake valves. The design has pluses and minus, not perfect. Like a campfire, the wood condition ascertains if there’s smoke or not.

Long ago I had a Marvel Mystery oiler canister that attached to a vacuum line. I installed it on my 52 Chevy. It drips droplets of oil into the vacuum line. Suppose to lube valves.

Before I brought the Maverick, had a F250 diesel towing a fifth wheel. Traveled for 12 yrs! Seen plenty of USA. Before I retired traveled the world, working in oil patch. I think I’m up already. Have 2 big travel plans….Alaska cruise and Mississippi River cruise. Right now pinned down with a 97...

In my opinion, Ford did redesign, like other vehicle mfr did to their engines. And pin any valve cleaning as maintenance chore item. Really? !!! This whole DI biz is about Cafe mileage rating. And some saying dirty valves means poor performance, and maybe GPM.

8,6xx now. 3 yrs vehicle warranty up in October. Retired, hardly drive anywhere. Mostly local trips, < 6 miles. Longest trip so far Houston to Pensacola, and return.

Not one as easy like changing oil n filter. Seen anther post where an owner removed intake, blasted his valves with walnut and blaster tools. Obviously his shop equipped to do his own maintenance chores. I have decent ”shop” with can do capability. But age creep not kind to me. I keep...

It’s no secret the 2023 EB engines will see messy intake valves once mileage put on them. Then depending on how engine maintained, comes a time the valves will need cleaning, probably blasted with walnut shells. And it’s no secret the new 2025+ EB engine are now fitted with intake manifold...

Learn something every day. Few months ago, got out of truck, engine running, to dump a trapped animal. Open back door, reached in to pull latch. Same happened 2 days ago. Engine running, cell phone inside. Have keypad on door. Scribed pad code on truck part, as can’t always remember the code...

Why this matters for your $1,100 quote: There is a history of Ford's electronic throttle bodies (ETBs) failing due to "internal motor contact contamination," which triggers the P2111and P2112 codes you received. TSB 16-0139 was a massive bulletin for earlier Ford 2.0L engines dealing with this...

Wash my own. Problem solved.

Tried both MC blend and synthetic variety. All exhibited low viscosity, per analysis. So switched to Quaker State full synthetic. Will put mileage in it, draw sample see what happens.

I am focusing on the viscosity numbers. Not in range.
