I have run a rubber band from my hand to the wheel and rest my hand on the armrest on interstates. If the truck steers, I feel it through the rubber band. But I still get to relax my arms.

I have been doing my own oil changes, maintenance, and tire rotation for 20 years. Even internal transmission repair. I don't trust others to do as good of a job as I do. I keep up with oil changes and records, but I had literally been doing the work of 2.5 people plus newlywed plus elderly...

No, I didn't do a traditional X and move front tires to the rear like the manual says. I literally did an X swap. FL to RR RR to FL FR to RL RL to FR It seems to be working. Go figure.

I wonder if this will make my Carvana offer higher?

Those Jeep bolts list 1.5mm thread pitch. I thought M8 was 1.25mm?

I went 26,000 miles on my Michelins before the first rotation. Now at 31,000 miles and all is well. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/25k-miles-without-tire-rotation-tread-measurements-for-factory-tires/

I have gone 25,000 miles without my first tire rotation. Yes, my life is THAT busy. Yes, I know that’s horrible. Yes, every 5k or even 10k is best. BUT… you can learn from what I did. 2022 Maverick Lariat HYBRID with the 18” Michelin Primacy A/S. Original depth is listed as 8.5/32nds. I run...

What is tow modes priority with the 2.5L hybrid? Is it trying to keep the electric motors or transmission cool by running the ICE all the time for fluid circulation? Or is it just about performance by having the ICE ready to go and keeping the battery topped off for available power? Or just...

Anybody got a link to the correct Curt adapter?

I want to install puddle lights, but it looks like the mirror housing can't be opened?

Mine has always done this every time the ICE fires up or shuts down while moving. Only lasts about 1 second, but sounds like a dry bearing squealing. It's probably some electrical component vibrating during high loading. 16000 miles on my hybrid.

Update. In July I did a round trip from Navarr to Pensacola via the reserve. Completely flat with lots of curves. About 30 miles each way, but carrying About 400 more lbs. Similar Temps. 53mpg one way, 56 mpg the other, but my cruise was set on 35mph. So 40mph really is a sweet spot for...

Not a chance. I nearly floored it in frustration once I turned off the trace. I'm fine with 40mpgT.

Mississippi, but this trip was on the Natchez Trace above Jackson. Mostly flat with light, long hills.

Not fun to drive 40mph for 90 minutes, but the scenery was pretty and only 4 vehicles passed me.

I should have kicked cruise off and coasted to a stop to get over 70mpg, but I was tired of driving 40mph and my turn was close. 98F when I started. 94F at picture. 72F inside with AC and radio blasting. 200lb me and 100lb of tool. Hard bed cover. Only 4 cars passed me on this desolate road.

My last 3 tanks have been 38 to 40mpg. About a third each of city, highway, and interstate. Display reads 1.8mpg optimistic each time using the same gas station. Got 50 mpg over 50 miles while hypermiling on a 2 lane road 50 to 60 mph ish. Got 44 mpg with the cruise set on 60mph over 170...

Automotive section at Walmart it is then. Thanks. Isn't 16ga plenty for small LEDs?

Lowes had stranded 16ga-2 lamp wire. Would this be ok for bed accessories and lighting?

What's the white plastic part and the foam,rubber tape stuff for?
