I dropped my truck off at the local Ford dealership (first time there for service). I bought my truck from a dealer closer to where I used to live.
Interesting but not unusual - a few days after setting up my service appointment I received a text from a salesperson at the dealership telling me...
Yeah, my Stang was a '91, no side airbag and the one in the steering wheel did not deploy because it was a side impact. The driver's door was pushed in over a foot and the door frame bent up into an "A" shape buckling the roof right over to the opposite side. They had to cut out the door and...
This was my first thought too. My 20 year old mustang was put down after keeping me alive in a t-bone accident after some bozzo ran a red light. I was heartbroken to loose it but thankful it held together just enough to keep me from being killed. I had to be cut out of it because I was pinned...
If you use the specified oil the wear at start would be minimal and consistent with any ICE, The ICE does not stay off very long when "Ready" so subsequent starts would not have any additional "start" wear as the oil is already distributed. The HV Battery is much smaller in the Maverick than a...
I decided to get one on my build because I passed on the sunroof. I used it almost daily in the summer. It's works great eliminating the pulsing air (Helmholtz Resonance) when you roll down a window or two and it helps cool the truck quickly when you start out on a hot day.
I do plan on sharing this data with the service department of my Ford dealership. I recently moved so I will probably have to take my truck to a dealership closer to me. I really hope their service department is better than their sales department because I walked off their lot and bought a...
So far our winter has been mild barely dropping below zero (Celsius) a few times so far. I tend to not set the heat above 17.5 and I don't turn it on until the windows start to fog and turn it off almost immediately after the windows clear up. If I can I try to turn it on when I expect the ICE...
<Sarcasm ON> When you look at all of the data I have on my 12v battery since installing the monitor, I am not entirely sure, but there might be a trend starting to show? <Sarcasm OFF>
Maybe I should start taking bets on when I will have to pull out the jump box & jump start it for the first...
I am 6' 2" and I don't have any issues unless my wife does not park correctly in the garage. I find it a little more difficult to exit with the door only slightly opened and knowing how easy it is to scuff the interior plastic panels.
Thank you for your advice - if just a tad tardy. I did in fact revised my order and add the remote start. 11 months later I took delivery of my truck. Fast forward to today and the Ford app is absolutely useless and only works when my truck is running (using the app to lock/unlock and remote...
Has anyone pulled the battery from their truck for an extended period of time? I was thinking of putting the battery through the desulfation mode on my battery charger? I have had vehicles in the past that doing something like this could lock the radio requiring a service call to put in some...
Being on the Wet Coast of Canada means our temps are usually mild. Here are the temps at the battery (obviously under the back seat) for the same time period. My truck is stored in a slightly heated garage at night but sits outside at work 5 days a week.
Not saying it doesn't happen, but why? Who would want to steal a donut? I could see someone who is desperate staling 4 full size tires off of 4 newer trucks that come stock with full size spares, but donuts?
Now that you mention it I think I heard that before. This is my first vehicle that came with a camera stock. I did have a company car for a while that had one but my last personal vehicle missed having 1 by 1 model year.
I realize it’s not the camera but the picture must shown on the head unit. Software issues usually affect everyone the same as the code does the same thing when given the same parameters so why is it only affecting some of the trucks? I am a self taught programmer (7 languages) who worked on the...
I live in BC and I have my fingers crossed hoping we don't even see any snow this year. I plan on retiring this October, so if I can make it through this winter on the Continentals I most likely will not need better All Seasons until these tires need replacing. My mechanic thew a set of Bravo...
I wonder if some of the people waiting would accept the camera being disabled temporarily while Ford figures it out? Maybe in the US the screen could show a legal warning written by a team of lawyers and in Canada it can show “Sorry, eh!” At least they could be enjoying having their trucks. It...
