It was my driving instructor that told me that! When I was younger I used to go out for rides on my motorcycle along side an RCMP officer. He had us doing some crazy stuff like cutting over the grass on a clover leaf etc. I am pretty sure lots of it was illegal according to the rules of the road.

Hopefully all of the settings are stored in non-volatile memory of some sort and the truck can wake up in the same state it was in when you disconnected the battery, but I would not want to let mine sit longer than a few hours disconnected for fear I might brick the truck!

I have the Ford Tri Fold on my truck and I have very minor leaks. It did leak a bit more before I made 2 adjustments. 1) I untightened the two knobs near the cab and repositioned the cover a little further back to allow the seal at the tailgate to seal better. 2) Inserted a small piece of black...

I don't disagree, and maybe I should have emphasized my second point as more of a acknowledgment that the battery drain still needs to be addressed. Trust me I am not happy about the fact that I had to buy a battery for 1 year old (Ford) truck, but the dealer did nothing (their fix lasted 1/2 a...

"...Ford need to solve the deep sleep problem..." I am in the - they cheaped out on a substandard flooded cell battery camp. I think they can tweak the computer to be a little more conservative with the stored electrons while it sits unused. This is a comparison of the original flooded cell...

"...feels good to only fill up every other week or so..." - You must drive a lot! I used to fill my 3.6L SUV up weekly and after getting the Hybrid Maverick it went to once a month while commuting the same distance weekly. Now that I am retired, I expect to be stretching that to once every 5-6...

Some people never had to wait 360 days (I acknowledge the fact that many waited even longer than this) from ordering to delivery, giving us time to read the manual (My23 and My24) from cover to cover 3 - 4 times even before driving one.

Did you remind her that according to the experts (Wrecked, Heavy Rescue: 401 and Highway Thru Hell) clearing the highway quickly is very important, and if she has ever watched any of these shows' she has to know they often do very sketchy things to get that done! But seriously sometimes you...

I got hit doing a taxi stop at a 3 way corner where there is technically only traffic coming from 2 directions. It was in a small border town just across from the Can/US border. The cop was trying to get his quota in. He even said you did slow down and look for traffic but you failed to come to...

We have some crazy roundabouts in BC but there is usually a sign with the layout ahead (like who has time to study it) and the paths are clearly defined in the lane markings. In Iceland the outside lane is allowed to pass exits to take one further around, but you must watch for vehicles wanting...

I had a new light installed along the route to work. For a few weeks the light was put into flashing yellow for the main drag and flashing red for the cross street. I cannot tell you how many times I had to brake suddenly because the bozo or bozette stopped at the flashing yellow. Public...

If you think understanding the rules of roundabouts is difficult for some in N/A, try Iceland's two-lane roundabouts. The vehicle in the center lane has the right of way to exit (cut across in front of you) if you are in the outside lane. Now in a perfect world they would be far enough ahead...

Whoooo, I dodged that bullet [I am 61.5]! :sneaky:

My last full day of work before I retire. I was working stock for mostly nostalgic reasons and I found a case of Hot Wheels. I opened it and right there in the top row…

As I backed into my garage I saw a message pop up telling me it was DL an update. I put the truck into ACC and now I am sitting in it watching it slowly DL… would it DL if I turned off the truck. I am going to let it finish but I would like to know for the future… this is the first update it has...

That is where I charge from as well and it is on the side where the BMS will see the activity so resetting it should not necessary.

Did you attach the battery tender under the hood at the jump posts or on the battery posts under the back seat?

I am not sure why you would avoid a well known battery company because the tiny easy to loose vent plug is molded into a part that stays on the battery until your ready to install it? I left the cover over my old battery after I reconditioned it… I will keep the old battery for now as I might...

Bough when I was 60 (now 61). I am currently a manager in the retail food industry, but I am 3 weeks away from retiring. The Maverick is my first truck. Honestly, I was not looking for a truck, but I was not really sure what I was looking for at the time. Like most who bought in the first 4...

The ACDelco I just installed had a vent plug molded into the red (+) post cover. You had to break it off and install it on the opposite side to the hole you used for the vent tube.
