  1. Is Fuel Dilution a Hybrid Thing? (Blackstone)

    Interesting Blackstone Labs article on hybrid oil fuel dilution. https://mcusercontent.com/f641390cba42169db49e0cd6e/files/1e1f2c91-4e38-ede0-645f-7331c0089fff/GasDiesel_2_20_25_Done.01.pdf
  2. Oil light and engine light came on..

    Recommend you take an oil sample now or during the next oil change. Send the sample to Blackstone along with a note explaining what’s going on. It’ll be nice to have the test results available when discussing a remedy with the dealer. Or lawyers. Or forum members.
  3. When should I do first oil change?

    I took my Oil Life Monitor to 0%, (factory oil) and had the oil analyzed. Analysis indicated oil was still fine. Fine enough to continue driving much farther. Not recommending others do it. However, I'm going to continue using the OLM to 0%.

  5. 0% Oil Life, First Oil Change Blackstone Results on 2023 Hybrid Maverick

    Completed my first Maverick Hybrid oil change 20 July 2024. Bought my Maverick new on 11 Apr 2023. So, a little over 15 months on the oil (more if you consider transit time from the factory). 2535 miles on oil and vehicle. Suburb driving mostly with speeds usually below 60 mph. I decided to...
  6. Tailgate not level with bed.

    Uh oh. So, I eye balled it at the dealer and it looked fine. Per your request I did the 2x4 and level check. $@it. The front of the tailgate is coplaner with the bed dead on. The rear is about 1/4ā€ low. Dang it. I’ll be looking to get slightly shorter cables. I also attached one pic of...
  7. Tailgate not level with bed.

    Concur about being overly dramatic. The truck came in today (2023 XLT Hybrid) and the tailgate is fine. I took her home. Since ordering the truck, and subsequently reading many MTC forum posts, I found numerous reasons to worry and/or not buy it. However, once it arrived I was smitten and...
  8. Tailgate not level with bed.

    ā€œHave you guys also measured fit and finish on hood alignment, gaps on all 4 doors too?ā€ Huh? Wha? Speaking of levity, Wise man told me ā€œsometimes itā€˜s better to keep quite and let people think you’re an idiot, then to tell your thoughts and remove all doubt.ā€ Just a general statement not...

  10. Tailgate not level with bed.

    R If a tailgate does not support the load…it’s not a tailgate. It’s a ramp. Expecting my 2023 XLT to arrive in the next week or two. If it arrives with a ramp…I’ll not be taking it home. Then, someone who prefers a ramp can have it for 5-10k more.
  11. BackRack/Headache rack install pt.2 -MUCH BETTER!

    That looks perfect! Thanks for the update. Happy to see this issue end with complete success.
  12. Backrack installed..terrible!

    The liner looks like it’s getting in the way. Send some pics to: email: [email protected] and see what they say. The instructions recommend removing the liner. Gotta be a more graceful way to mount the rack.
  13. Backrack installed..terrible!

    Post new pics when you get it repositioned please. I’m interested in a Back Rack too.
  14. Backrack installed..terrible!

    All rail fasteners should be under the rail…per instructions. no drilling. Reposition the bolts as shown in the diagram and it’ll probably look awesome. See attached pic of hardware mounting.
