lol and around me they are the very last place anyone should take a car after purchasing. Still not sure why someone at 3 years would need the brake fluid changed?

I use livernois. Started with them in 2015 and have been very impressed with them. Much better than all the other ones I’ve tried. I had one go over 400k of tuned miles. Have a 2.0 edge currently pushing 300k tuned miles. They also have tuned my 23 f-150, 22 gt500, and 16 focus rs. But those...

I think that’s gonna be my plan. It shifts so good. I like being the tester. I get to drive enough that I’m a good person to do it. Plus I haul a lot in the summer heat. So it probably is a better move. My bigger tires already kill my mpg.

But you probably have time. I’m not sure if anyone has been able to tune the 25 mavericks yet. I wouldn’t bother with a jb4. They just are not in the same ballpark as tunes. It’s a step above stock sure but it’s not a tune. So it’s worth the wait for me to get the tune over jb4.

So you can run the stock ones without issues. But I prefer one step colder ngk iridium plugs gapped to 28thou. I’ll try and remember the plug number or look and post when I get home.

I’m glad I’m not the only one shocked at how well these handle the off road. Other than approach and departure angles it’s very fun to off road. I’ve had a lot of fun in mine.

Yep, mine was tuned within a day or two of owning it. In fact I find the drivability so much better I don’t have a single vehicle that isn’t tuned. I’ve saw no ill effects from it either. I have many high mileage tuned vehicles. My maverick has been tuned for 50k miles and about 20k has been...

I’ve noticed all them are oversized in the past few years. I believe it’s to avoid the stuck and hard in and out of the hitch. They used to fit snug not so much anymore. But I added the anti rattle and it works.

You haven’t spent time in Detroit have you. Wages have nothing to do with quality. Being from Michigan I can tell you those jobs draw as many or more workers that have zero intention of building a good product. They want the over paid jobs. Yes those jobs paid crazy amounts of money in this...

You should be fine. As for the last comment. Yes they can. That is the whole Purpose as stated by the White House. These are used as leverage and nothing more. in fact just this week Honda said they are moving production from Mexico back to the USA. So depending on what you think is the goal...

So is this a first time we all agree? Lol It’s logical to think that it may indeed be better for long term. The transmission is very similar and used in many other vehicles in different variants. I would bet ford didn’t decide to completely redo the internals and valves for the 8 speed over the...

I was actually able to talk to them this morning. Seems it’s the typical case of it works just fine with no ill effects. They just created a product that is ulv to meet the higher demands of fuel consumption.

Yes and per spec sheet it looks like it’s only different at higher temps. I have actually thought about just rolling with it the way it is. If it get way out of spec you notice shift differences. If anything mine had been better or spot on. Keep in mind it was a recommended fluid until they...

Ok so I bought my maverick spring of 24. As some know I drive a ton. So wasn’t long and I did my first transmission fluid change. I ordered what was on the amsoil recommended sheet. Lv fluid. Today I see they have updated to ulv fluid. Now some would panic and think oh boy. Know I have...

Other than the brake service mode which I’ve never done or knew about. It’s a standard brake job. Very easy.

Ya it was very peaked this year. I just have to choose carefully where I crest so I don’t hang up the center. I was shocked at how well the maverick did compared to others.

You are simply wrong. As a mechanic you should know this. In the past yes but you must not understand how the ecu on the ecoboost works. What lower Oct does is force the ecu to pull timing or boost. Both which can improve efficiency. Hence why 93 in the ecoboost can improve mileage in the...

Zero issues at 50k on my 24 xl awd. Thats saying something with the way I treat it. I enjoy my truck and use it. It’s been in the mountains of CO, Texas hill country, Michigan mud and sand dunes.

Old days, I still run it. It’s as good as it gets for oct and ait’s

I’m not saying it is not a factor but far too many are stock to say that causes it. And if a dealer denies for tire size that’s a dealer to swap. Tire size should not hurt the driveline. Sure it adds some weight and size but our bench is trq limited. So no matter what size you have the same...
