yo doug - i know you all are having hybrid 12v battery issues but this is an ecoboost thread.
what load is being put on the battery in an ecoboost besides auto start/stop? Ive had that disabled since almost day one.
with the hybrid i assume ford has some wacky stuff going on - but with an...
Update: took it to the dealer and they replaced it with a new AGM battery. In and out in about 2hrs.
want to give thanks for Bryan and Ghandi at Gator Ford in Seffner, FL for always being super nice and accommodating.
Wife went to run an errand this morning and the truck turned over slow and started clicking.
Jump pack got us running again.
Any idea how the dealer will handle this? Is this a quick in and out?

Please stop putting these on your engines. All they do is trap heat and accelerate plastic aging / wire fatigue. You have harness connectors that will age faster with more heat trapped around them. Engine covers are the dumbest thing manufacturers have put on cars and they should all be sued...
Anything trapped under that cover will accelerate the aging of the plastics and wiring.
Wife has a Lexus that came with one of those - the entire top of her motor is now brittle plastics that break if you look at them wrong.
NC Miata's have these - and on early models the wires on the...

turbos cook the oil faster
the combo means that even after a few thousand miles an ecoboost oil will stink like fuel and look super dark.
id say...
Quickjacks with a set of SUV adapters is pretty good - just make sure you wont hit your garage door opener!
And for those of you whomstest dont want a dirty floor - dont use just an oil catch pan - also grab one of these:
Its a much larger pan - you can put your oil pan on top of it...
No point in jumping to conclusions. Still may be in transit.
IIRC an ordered vehicle will still show as 'for sale' as an automatic listing on the major car retail sites.
Keep your cool jeff'e.
However - this is simply supply and command.
Carvana (or Vroom) doesnt have to pay me a dime over MSRP - yet they do.
Why does Carvana offer to pay me more than MSRP? Because they can sell it to someone dumb enough to buy over MSRP and banks willing to lend over MSRP.
So in actuality who is...
1. Every fucking Maverick ive owned (im on #3 at this point) has a rattle in the passenger door panel.
2. No ACC/lane centering option on lower trim packages
3. The radio screen is low contrast/quality.
