  1. FORDS Military Appreciation is an insult to Disabled Vets

    Gotta be honest, as a disabled veteran it's sad that you choose to make judgements on retired vets and what they have done in their careers. Ford's program is what it is, accept it and move on or buy another brand.
  2. Do you think the Toyota Stout is going to be better than the Maverick

    We need an eyeroll emoji......I think the Maverick name is hokey but I still bought (and sold...) one
  3. Ford suspension related torque specs

    You have to pay for the motorcraft service content....
  4. How to reduce the dreaded valve carbon?

    I can assure you it's a real problem. Will it be a noticeable issue for everyone? No, it depends on a lot of variables but it will degrade performance, fuel mileage and could potentially cause running issues like misfires. I don't really understand why people think this is a myth. I have...
  5. Missouri (2) Bed cubbies

    Honestly would prefer to try and sell them locally, shipping won't be cheap
  6. 60K factory transmission fluid oil report arrived

    150k on the 6F35 in my Escape doing 30k intervals and that trans was known to fail as well. It operated like new when I sold it at 150k miles. It's ridiculous to believe Ford's maintenance interval of 150k miles.
  7. Unusual message on display: Push Clutch to Start

    Nope this has happened for other people. These BCMs are programmed to work with a variety of models to include overseas products that do offer a manual. It's kinda scary that the programming logic of the BCM can get so wonky that it doesn't even know what it's programmed (via as built data) to...
  8. Driver side Mirror Cover Removal

    Not really sure what to tell you, if I still had my Mav I would make a video. It's similar to the video above, you need a decent amount of pressure on the corner outwards towards you and it will pop off. That's the easy part, getting the actual mirror cap off is 10 times more difficult.
  9. Rear Camera failure - Camera is unavailable Please contact your dealership

    Not sure, to be honest Ford uses the absolute cheapest suppliers for a lot of their parts so some parts unfortunately are just not made well. I replaced the blend door actuator on my sister in law's explorer multiple times. Her back up camera also failed due to water intrusion but she was...
  10. Aftermarket Lug nuts

    Make sure the whatever you buy they are rated for the Mav's required 150 lb-ft of torque. There are a lot of lugnuts sold on Amazon for instance in the required M14x1.5 size that aren't rated for nearly that value.
  11. Help Choose My Replacement Tires

    I also ran the AT3Ws on my Mav and they were super quiet, no noticeable road noise. I then ran the Kumho Roadventure AT2 tires and there was very minor road noise, now I am running Toyo Open Country ATIII tires on my GX and they are super loud compared to both. The Wildpeak AT3W was a winner...
  12. Undercoating ?

    You will regret using the one time undercoating, it will trap moisture and actually cause worse conditions. Just use the stuff that needs to be reapplied every year or two. I did mine DIY with Blaster Surface Shield that only needs to be done every two years, my Mav's underbody still looked...
  13. Lug Nuts With Keyed Removal Tool

    Those "locking" lug nuts are super easy to defeat/remove without the key, they are essentially pointless and a waste of money.
  14. 2" Rough Country lift / MX4 tonneau cover

    Looks good even with the stock size wildpeaks
  15. Driver side Mirror Cover Removal

    Just use a screwdriver and a towel. The glass just pops off when you use the screwdriver. I used a towel to keep the screwdriver from scratching the outer plastic. The glass pops off pretty easily just be prepared for it to fall.
  16. THE biggest design flaw! Rear 'slot' in the FlexBed for a divider is wider than width of the bed opening!

    That's what happens when a vehicle is designed in 3 years to save money instead of the 6 years automakers normally take to bring a model to market.
  17. Driver side Mirror Cover Removal

    You don't have to remove the whole mirror. You pop the mirror glass off then you can remove I think 4 screws then you need to use something like a pick to carefully undo all the plastic latches holding the mirror cap on. It's kind of frustrating but if you're patient and gentle eventually it'll...
  18. Rear Camera failure - Camera is unavailable Please contact your dealership

    Ford is notorious for having water intrusion into their rear cameras causing failure. I never had it happen to my escape but a lot of others did and I know it's very common on the Edge and Explorer too
  19. Missouri (3) Steering wheels (2 leather w/heat, 1 activeX no heat)

    We can do PayPal. I can send you an invoice. Just give me a few days if you don't mind, I just moved to Kansas City from the DC area and I'm still unpacking.
