Hey MTC,
I'm planning on installing a DC-DC charger in the mav, so I can recharge my trailer battery while driving. There a few questions/satiny checks I'd love some help with, and cheers if others have considering the same thing!
The plan to go with the Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger since...
Hey MTC,
I have a 22' Lariat EB 4k with Lasfit LEDs on most lights of the Truck. I went in for a recall/software update to prevent a potential engine shutoff. There was another software recall on the tail lights, "Rear Turn Signal Outage Notification" Recall Reference Number (RRN): 23C41 that I...
Update- The intercooler worked great!
I did some high elevation and temps with a heavy travel trailer (Rpod 180- 3,800 GVWR). It was was 3 people, their stuff, and a weeks worth of food to Crater Lake. We were in some of the worst towing conditions for multiple hours.
I used the OBDLink MX+...
Hey MTC,
I've been towing for a bit and wanted to post my experience/advice for others thinking about towing heavy loads or a trailer.
I use my 2022 EB-4k Maverick to tow a 2021 R-pod 180. It's an 18' trailer with a 20' frame that weights ~2,900 lbs dry and is 3,500 - 4,000 lbs with gear &...
Hey MTC,
I have a 2022 EB AWD with 4k towing. I installed a pair of oil catch cans according to the Cuban Redneck DIY Guide (great info FYI).
However, I haven't seen much if any fluid in my cans and am worried I installed them wrong. Please let me know if I should re-do anything or if I stuck...
Hey MTC,
First, I want to say that it's never a good idea to exceed manufacturer ratings. These are made by engineers through serious testing, many of them written in blood, keep you/others safe on the road, and limits personal liability.
That being said, how important is tongue weight, and...
Hey MTC,
I just installed the Steeda rear anti-sway bar (link to product) on my 22 AWD Maverick. The installation went well, but they included 2 metal rings in the box and I can't find information on them anywhere. From the Steeda and YouTuber install videos, there doesn't seem to be anything...
Hey MTC,
I just changed the transmission fluid on my 22 EB 4K and wanted to add some pro-tips I learned from reading/watching other videos. I did this at ~13k miles with my PTU/RDU oil swap (please do this! write up here) just in case it was needed. I used the OEM Motorcraft ULV I got from the...
Hey MTC,
I'm planning to start towing with my 22 EB 4k Maverick. I'll likely be running fairly close to the max loads and wanted to add some parts to make it easier to drive and safer for me & the truck. I've already replaced the transmission, PTU & RDU Fluids (highly recommend! write up here)...
Hey MTC,
There are a number of posts on here about the poor PTU/RDU fluids & wear from the factory and I wanted to add some fuel to the flame. I changed mine at ~13,000 miles and it was not in good shape (see pictures below). The PTU definitely seemed underfilled, had metallic debris, and a ton...
Hey MTC!
I've had my EB AWD 4k Lariat for about 18 months and love it! I'm looking to buy a travel trailer and want to make sure I'm not going to kill the truck (it's my first trailer. I'm within spec, but fairly close to the limits. Obviously, there are some things that can help (driving dry...
