  1. Direct Injection Noise, Sewing Machine Syndrome

    Thanks, I did add the fender wall insulation. At this point the noise levels are tolerable for me. The main thing I wanted to highlight was the wiper cowl insulator from the Bronco Sport which I hadn't seen mentioned before. It was only $55 shipped from ford. It seemed to cut down on the noise...
  2. Direct Injection Noise, Sewing Machine Syndrome

    I was honestly wondering about this possibility lol. That being said I have always been hyper aware of engine/vehicle noises while driving. If I am driving alone in a vehicle for an extended period of time I will turn off the radio and hvac and just listen intently to every little noise. Not...
  3. Direct Injection Noise, Sewing Machine Syndrome

    My last vehicle being a whisper quiet, port injection, Acura V6 the first time I cold started my brand new Maverick I just about had a heart attack. I thought the valve train was self destructing. I was ready to drive straight back to the dealership and make a fool of myself. Luckily I...
  4. Picked up 2025 Maverick XL AWD Hybrid. Comparison vs 2023 XLT and review of new features. AMA.

    True, true. I kid, I kid. Congratulations. I have almost crashed my ecoboost several times because I am so focused on the realtime mpg info screen.
  5. Re-badged Lincoln Engine Cover

    I haven’t test fit the aliexpress cover. It is much thinner than the genuine cover. If I had to do it over I would just buy the Lincoln cover. I’m not sure what to do with the knockoff. Overall it is not a bad copy but I am mostly interested in the sound deadening of the direct injection system...
  6. Re-badged Lincoln Engine Cover

    It is a Chinese reproduction meant for the steering wheel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/365282773515 58mm x 22mm. Any modern Ford steering wheel emblem should work.
  7. Re-badged Lincoln Engine Cover

    Lincoln Nautilis 2.0 ecoboost. Part # k2gz-6a949-b. I was actually fortunate enough to pick up a used Ford Ecoboost branded cover in October of 2024 for under $100. I am planning on swapping the Lincoln cover out and cleaning and restoring the Ford cover to as close to like new as possible...
  8. Re-badged Lincoln Engine Cover

    I came up with three options. Looking for opinions on which looks best. Oversized Ford emblem/ surface mount. Undersized / flush mount. Deleted. Thanks!
  9. Maxzina-Maverick Visor Rain Guards Demand

    I had the EGR "smoked" deflectors on for a week. I liked the large coverage area and that was about it. I didn't like that they were BROWN. Pictures are of EGR smoke versus AVS smoke. I also didn't like that the front windows dragged so bad it sounded like it was going to strip the gear of the...
  10. Maxzina-Maverick Visor Rain Guards Demand

    I would be very interested in these. I recently installed the EGR in channel, smoked visors and they have a very BROWN hue to them. I like the fit and function but I hate the brown tint. If I backlight them with an led flashlight they look brown instead of gray/blue like AVS dark smoke. Do you...
  11. Hard to find EB Ecoboost engine cover found new online

    The wait is over. I honestly am not trying to ruin anyone’s day but the Aliexpress cover is 100% a knock off. I have both side by side and it is painfully obvious. The major give away is the “CCC” on the Ali and the lack of a patent number. A lot of other give aways. That being said it is a...
  12. Hard to find EB Ecoboost engine cover found new online

    Great, I was wondering if the paint might be a flex seal or plasti-dip type product. Maybe they applied it for customs reasons? My latest tracking update reads "arrived at local airport" so hopefully I will have an update soon.
  13. Hard to find EB Ecoboost engine cover found new online

    Wow, I was not expecting that answer. The cover looks great. What did you use to remove the rubber paint? Was it a PITA? I will definitely report back with an update when the cover arrives. Thanks!
  14. Hard to find EB Ecoboost engine cover found new online

    I ordered from the same vendor. The cover is currently in transit. I am wondering how your story ended? Were you able to remove the paint? Did you return the cover? I actually found a Ford Ecoboost cover on eBay in October that I won by bid for $70. I knew I was lucky but didn't realize how...
