Experiencing rough idle on your older EB.? This new AI “info” video might explain this the cause:

A somewhat confusing YouTube summary of American made tires. Hard to make it through the whole video, so here are some spoilers to save your time:) Spoiler - only Goodyear has remained American made & American owned. Another “spoiler” - a Walmart branded tire isn’t made in America duh. Spoiler...

I asked google and they said yes. Is this AI slop? Is this a good idea if indeed true? I say yes & yes. What say you? “Yes, Ford is actively building a closed-loop supply chain to use recycled battery materials in its new electric vehicles through a major partnership with Redwood Materials...

My EB came with lifetime free oil & filter changes. I also prefer to do my own oil changes. What is a person to do? Change it twice! I remove my plastic cover before bringing my truck to dealer for an oil & filter. Put it back on after I drain & fill with full synthetic Motorcraft 5W-30 and...

Eliminating the Start/Stop on the 27 EB models should reduce costs? Start/Stop Lever & circuitry from console to ECU replaced by a “dummy” cover. Less robust starter motor? Less robust 12V battery? I swear I saw somewhere a gizmo on the 8F35 transmission that was related to the stop/start...

Upgrade your 800 Mile Club membership to a 1200 Mile Club membership. Ultra Efficient ICE to improve Hybrid Tech mpg’s… edit…this is a “deep dive” analysis. I watched it all & summarize that ultra efficient ICE will enable Hybrid Tech to challenge the “Future is EV” mindset…

Torque Vectoring RDU fluid change today. 14 months & 2,200 miles on the this first change of fluid… Pic 1: Up on the ramps Pic 2: Same bolts for fill & drain. Attach directly to a 3/8 socket wrench. Pic 3: Fluid a bit dirty as expected. Lots of Crud on bolt magnet & was dome shaped -...

In this YouTube video, the Motor Oil Geek discusses interesting technical & logistical issues causing Pennzoil to change formulation… If this topic becomes a geopolitical debate - it will be deleted. So no mention of “he who should not named”?

Below are pictures of the Boomba Blow Off Valve (BOV) I installed today on my 2025 EB engine. The BOV is mounted under the OEM bypass control valve. When you lift off the throttle - pent up air pressure pushes the bypass valve open and will divert the pressurized air back to the intake tube pre...

Is there a trick to doing a proper coolant flush on our EB’s? I ask because my Lobo was built with the standard radiator & fan instead of the correct 4K radiator & fan. Ford issued Customer Satisfaction Recall 25B34 to swap them out. My local Ford Dealer is now doing the swap and coolant...

Very interesting analysis of how Chinese EV’s are forcing Toyota & Ford to “abandon ship” and “build an ark” respectively. Toyota is abandoning its long established dependence on JIT & CI, while Ford is building an ark to survive the upcoming controlled demolition of Ford… It is an hour long...

I use 91 because 93 is hard to find where I drive. I might have to search more thoroughly… Edit: I asked google why 93 was not available where I live: “The primary reason is elevation. At Tucson's higher altitude, the thinner air and lower atmospheric pressure reduce the engine's tendency...

Which engine would last longer - 2026 Maverick EB using oil from the 1970’s Maverick (Conventional 10W-30) Or…. 1970 Maverick V8 using same oil. Answer….the 1970 engine 2026 Maverick EB using current Full Synthetic 5W-30 Or…. 1970 Maverick V8 using current Full Synthetic 5W-30 Answer…...

Surfstar’s interesting thread on “Longest hybrid oil change interval” showed folks going well beyond 10,000 miles before the OLM reached 0%. Fine for their normally aspirated Atkinson ICE - but nasty bad for a Turbo EB. Question - have any EB drivers had their OLM allow 10,000 miles or more...

Ok, which one of you haters asked AI to create a critical video based on the MTC Forum? Fess up.

I never drive in fog and rarely after dark - so my nifty OEM LED fog lights are never being used. Turns out that Amber fog lights work better in dust & dust storms than White LED. There are occasional dust storms, even Haboobs where I drive. In addition, trucks driving during the day are...

Am I correct in assuming the assorted blue markings on parts is a QC check mark? Some bolts have them also. Checking they are torqued properly? Turbo Pipe

Only the “refreshed” 25/26 Maverick 2.0L EB and the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engines have aluminum valve covers. All other current Ford engines have plastic? Coyote, Raptor, 3.5 EB, etc etc. Not sure why… Edit…I’m guessing the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel has metal covers because it is a...
