Thanks for the insights. I ran my fingers along the piston shaft and it was completely dry, no oil residue but, I’ll go back and do the piston shaft clean off. Worth another try. I don’t off-road at all but winter’s typical road damage makes it feel like an off-road sometimes.

Yeah, I hear you on the worm clamp and that’s exactly why I’m hesitating on it. Mav is 18 months old with 7k miles. It’s crazy for the boot compression to be completely shot with such light usage on paved roads only. I have to think more folks are having this issue without realizing it...

The zip tie around the top of the boot just above the “boot bulb” didn’t work. Not sure how much I want to Frankenstein this. Maybe the worm gear hose clamp is an option if I can find one thin enough to fit the top of the boot. The Ford design is rather stupid to think a compression hold...

Well …. Not sure if the OP met with success using a zip tie to hold the shock boot in place, which is a great suggestion but, I didn’t work for me. Put the zip tie on bubba tight but no joy. The boot slipped down again on lightly rough winter roads. I’m all ears on any other ideas to keep...

AC Delco LN1 AGM

Ironically, I just noticed two days ago that my driver side rear shock dust cover did the exact same thing. Not an uncommon issue. I simply pushed it back up and will keep an eye on it. I’ll mention it at my next oil change in April.

I have similar setup that I use on my vehicles except the Mav. I’m concerned that the water pressure, even on a wide fan, will “fur up” the fabric undercarriage and wheel well covers. Therefore, I simply use SaltAway and my one gallon pump sprayer to remove all the undercarriage salt. Two...

My self installed AGM will start and provide dome/courtesy lights with a 39% SOC after sitting in <10 degree northeast weather for a few days. The AGM is a champ in cold weather with deep discharge. AGM in the Hybrid is a peace of mind necessity.

The max hybrid SOC that I’ve hit was 74% on a one mile downhill glide/braking as measured by my OBDlink dongle. Never could get higher than that.

I use my OBDLink dongle to read several measures including 12v and hybrid battery SOC. I’ve turned off all telematics but did not pull #11 fuse. Double click when exiting so exterior lights go off right away. Fully charged my new AGM for 3 days prior to install, completed BMS reset, and...

What’s confusing to me is that my AGM SOC has dropped as low as 45% recently yet I still get dome lights and it starts right up ….. no deep sleep. Voltage was around 11.5v. This was after a couple very cold days/nights with no driving. AGM recovered quickly after a short drive.

I’ve never been able to get beyond 72% SOC on the 12v battery, which is a self installed AGM, even after putting my Genius10 on it for 48 hours!!!

I removed the factory Ford installed mud flaps immediately after my Mav purchase and replaced them with Mabett mud flaps. Plenty of posts on MTC regarding the paint wear issue with the wrap around Ford mud flaps that may cause premature rusting where the edge of the mud flap contacts the...

Why not carry a boost pack just in case for any situation? That way you don’t have to mess with disconnecting the battery cables or risk looking for a boost from another vehicle.

Sport mode is a lot of fun. Much more responsive and quick as it works through the “fake gears” on acceleration. Good acceleration but much higher RPM utilization. Exclusively uses the ICE so considerable MPG compromise for the Hybrid. It’s very useful to quickly warm the cabin on cold...

Mine connected fine as well with WAP2 enabled …. RT-AX82U. I only do manual updates as well, about once every six months or so. Turned off auto to reduce telematics battery drain.

Average Mav ICE oil temps should range between 190 - 220 F. Length/time of drive, amount of ICE engagement (ICE vs electric vs hybrid), and ambient temps will impact your progress toward these numbers. The EB will obviously get to this level much faster and so will the hybrid if you put it in...

The 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid does have an oil temperature sensor but, it's a bit different; while the specific part listed on most websites is referred to as a "cylinder head temperature sensor," this sensor essentially monitors the engine oil temperature and is considered functionally...

After sitting for a couple of days in the cold, got in the Mav and opened up with dome lights and dash lights working fine even know AGM SOC was 48%. Short drive quickly charged to 60% SOC. The highest SOC I’ve seen was 74%. Wish I could consistently get a higher charge from Mav. AGM...

I’ve read several MTC members who “experimented” with the 12v SOC parameter in forscan. Apparently their experience proved that changing the SOC parameter to 95% made an observable difference in reducing the deep sleep events for EB Mavs but, made no difference for the Hybrid Mav.
