Titanium is very tough to machine, its not ideal for electrical conductivity. I can say this, there is a hodge podge of different materials in the circuit between the battery and the destination of the electricity. Just thru the buss bar/fusebox/cables there is SEVERAL connections. Not good...

Mla, these new fangled transmission have a learning logic, that adapts itself to the way you drive, you can erase it and get it to relearn, were the shift points are where what you like.

I just noticed today, when the ICE fires up/shutsdown i get shudder/vibration. Ok, then if its an overeation, then lets just put it to rest. I will quit hyping it up. The members that have a shudder or vibration or weird harmonics, will just have to live with them. Its not getting worse, its...

Njbob, i have mini split ductless units in my home(self installed). When the texas ice storm hit last 2 years, they heated @12° was kicking out 80 degree air if not higher, i need to shot it and see, if it gets that cool again. Mine are heat pumps, invertor, DC motors, very very economical, my...

Tedtx gets it, good questions, heres whats happpening for whatever reason the damper is destroying itself(just like dual mass flywheels of past). Theres a code that gets set. What can be done, when its making noise there is no way back, its already wornout. The only thing that could possibly...

EB has its share of problems as well, no new vehicle escapes problems. This is one of my specialty, although its a double edged sword cause they are usually my vehicles and i have a vested interest. Now i have to decide if i want it replaced. Or drive it until it comes apart, or thow up my arms...

Clav, you don't have enough miles/wear on yours, its coming. Remember i am the test mule. I drive differently then most, i drive and try to stay in e mode, which looks like its detrimental to long term reliability. The only chance to this widespread is if Ford REVISED the damper. I will see if...

Jeez only 500mpt, everyone on here gets that if they WANT to. I pull down 720mpt. 600mpt can come easily. The hybrid is quietest truck i have ever owned, i cant tell sometimes if ICE is on, i have to look down at display.

I am anxious to see what drop temps will do to FE, since i brought mine home it hasnt been below 73, we had the hottest may, june, july ever, temps up to 110(I saw 114 one time). That friggin heat dome came back here now, we had a couple weeks off when it went to you guys. Now its back, saw 100...

Shark, thx, sometimes i do first, others 2,3 clicks, and of course i have to know what my options are, although when overfilling i cringe while filling. No more ever then 15g once just for data, although talked to guys put alot more in then that.

I dont know if its a measure of voltage which matters, but i can tell you this it wont take long for galvanic corrosion to jump on that connection. Just the dissimilar metals are enough for it to happen, then add voltage, environmental, and temperature and ya got a mixed cocktail.

Right, we are all members, hope it pays off in the end for us.

Its coming, at first i did not notice a thing, remember i am the fuel economy guy, i use alot of the mode change, trying to stay in e mode, i guess my driving style has forced the accelerated wear on the damper, its a bad/weak design, ford will have to redesign it, or we go through this again...

Mitchell, it doesnt show up until about 5000m, then at 10k its pretty annoying. Mymaverick, full throttle runs are just going to push the failure up in time, the springs loosen up over time. The friction disc also starts slipping. Theres not much to be done to stop it from occurring besides...

Makin, right it seems to be aluminum, its large gauge like 2/0 or larger. Its a long run with weight conservation in mind. Both ends are soldered/welded to sheet metal which is not ferrous(i checked) and covered with a paste, before heat shrink. Its some kind of non-traditional joint, theres...

My, now THATS the spirit!!! Work with us.

My, they cant void your warranty without a reason, plus this approved repair is 14 times better then what their techs are doing using copper lug. On top of that i wouldnt mention it to anyone, do you think when you take it in for work, that the service writer is going to run over to the Mav pop...

There are some pics from the service manual on page 1, here again i would suggest ALL hybrid users/owners to familiarize themselves with this important info. I did not confirm the recall, i am predicting it, this is a huge widespread defect. You will be hearing ALOT more about this situation in...

Got 2 theories about it at least, long length cable=lots of weight, aluminum is how much lighter, gauge of wire is huge, like at least 2/0 but probably more like 4/0. I use a 250 lug size. Other ideas, battery load is maximum recharge, which with a small battery (390ah)is miniscule, The...

Eagle, you are at some good numbers 630m in Phoenix were you guys use your AC more then here in Texas.
