Your argument is flawed. If you exceed the speed limit and cause an accident you can be held liable in civil court for injury or wrongful death. Of course that's dependent on them proving that you were speeding in the first place but you know, every vehicle has a lovely black box nowadays that...

The only problem is that the 2.0 Ecoboost is direct injected, gas never touches the valves so it has nothing to do with gas. It also doesn't really have to do with blow by gasses as much as it does oil seeping through the valve guides and then caking up into a giant ring on the valve stem...

I just skimmed the article but it seemed to allude to the PTU overheating, not the RDU. The PTU would make more sense since it's located directly next to the turbocharger so if you're having fun and getting in the throttle the turbo is going to put out an immense amount of heat which will soak...

It was my ex-wife's vehicle. She got rid of it a few years post divorce as it was super high mileage and her new guy wasn't able to fix things when they went bad. We purchased it new and put over 200k miles on it but 13 years of Maine winters did a number on it. Also, I always thought they...

So in other words it's relevant. Tow 4k with your tremor, let's see what happens, I'm sure you don't mind being the guinea pig. What do Ford engineers know, right?

In addition to what Fossil said. I suspect that the larger radiator also plays a big part in the added towing capability of non tremor 4k tow models.

Don't worry, I'll pull my intake manifold at 30k to blast them with walnut shells and I'll make sure to tag you with a photo of them so you can hopefully see despite the probably glare caused by your tinfoil hat. The majority of the oil comes through the valve guides and just cakes up in layers...

Honda Element, it was a great vehicle but just not much to look at.

At least for the rear half shafts they have the same intermediate part number (All that is shown ont he official ford parts site) according to the official ford parts site, oddly enough, the Tremor rear half shafts are cheaper than the standard AWD half shafts.

Be very careful here with your designated specs. The manual states 148 lb-ft which is the equivalent of 200nM. If you mix this up you're going to potentially wind up with either seriously under or over-torqued lug nuts

You mean like when Ford decided that they don't recommend walnut blasting and their advisory fix for customers to take care of poor running issues due to carbon buildup was to replace the cylinder head?

It doesn't. I used it every 3k miles on my Focus ST just before I changed the oil. At 30k I removed the intake manifold to check the valves and they were absolutely covered in carbon, on the stem and the valve head. I also had a catch can system on it so that didn't do much either.

I have news for you, no tonneau cover is meant to be water tight. You can reduce the amount of water that gets in with seals etc but there's no such thing as a water tight tonneau. Good luck

Sounds like you're used to non-truck lugnuts, larger fasteners require more torque in order to achieve the necessary tension to fasten the lugnut. Basically you're applying torque to the fastener to achieve a certain amount of tension. Your Maverick has very truck like lugs at M14x1.5, the same...

I think if you follow the standard rule of thumb of: all the ugga dugas for every 1 lb-ft you'll be just fine

Pretty much every vehicle I've ever owned had a speedo that indicated low. My Maverick is running 30" 235/60R18 tires and it's still about 1mph low compared to what Waze shows.

Not as good of a tread wear warranty. They had to have used a softer rubber compound to get them to perform as well in colder weather. The defender is just okay in cold and snow which explains the longer tread wear warranty compared to the cc2

@Maverick2022XL seems to have disappeared but I ordered a salvage 6.5" Mav cluster along with the switch cluster with a HDC button from an FX4 at a salvage yard for $125, unfortunately they wouldn't pull the wiring harness from the switch cluster to the main harness and I'm not spending $100 on...

How dare you suggest that pizza ride in the bed like some 2nd rate entity. Pizza deserves better than that.

That's not pizza, it's cardboard with plastic cheese and "water sauce"
