  1. Anyone else have to buy new tires at 22k? My 22 maverick XLT Fx tires were at 3/32 unbelievable had to $1032 for new tires!

    22k? Mine were gone at 17k. SW Pennsylvania tar and chipped hills are terrible for tires. I got Falken wildpeak a/t trails. Currently have 23k on them with tread to spare.
  2. Top off gas tank

    My last car was a Focus which I topped off almost ever fill up. Come to find out that what happened was the overflow went into some kind of EVAP canister to filled up. It threw a check engine light and a few problems with the engine. Notably starting issues. Something to do with the fuel...
  3. Add MyQ garage door opener app to display screen ?

    If you search my posts there used to be a way to integrate MyQ with apple carplay through a shortcut. It worked amazingly. Then MyQ updated their app and removed API features. This elimated the ability to open the door outside of the app. This forces you to use the app and see the ads they...
  4. Hood squirts when braking in the rain.

    No, the front hood protector does not stop it. I have the gloss one from ford and still have the same thing happen whenever water builds on the hood.
  5. how to jack truck to put it on jack stands.

    Though something might have been around for a long time doesn’t mean everyone known all about it. This is a forum for people to ask and share information. So if you don’t know you can ask someone who does. Many of us here enjoy doing things on our own, but want to learn the right way to do...
  6. Adding gas with gas can

    I am talking about the white funnel that comes with the truck to fill from a gas can. Not the filler system built into the truck. The one that came with my previous Ford did not have anything inside of it that slowed down filling. The new one does. I have been using the old one since I...
  7. how to jack truck to put it on jack stands.

    Yes you could do the same with bottle jacks. It would be more work but can be done. However I am not a mechanic or a car guy. I am someone who is too cheap and untrusting to pay someone if I can do it myself. So take my advice with a grain of salt. With the spreader bar it jacks the...
  8. how to jack truck to put it on jack stands.

    That is what I got. I put the one pad just behind the front Jack point. As close as I can get and still get a Jack stand on the Jack point. Then I spread the beam as far as it goes. More then enough support to get the truck up for Jack stands.
  9. Is this normal or is something missing?

    FX4 has a little plastic air diverter for cooling. The PTU I believe. Also makes oil changes easy.
  10. No audio on first connect of a phone call though CarPlay

    I have had this problem with no solution. As well as mirad of other radio issues. Just search my posts. I have twice gotten this message from Ford and once was directed to a dealer who knew nothing of the referal. Still have all the problems with every update, nothing changes. What I did...
  11. Lower Octane Fuel

    This is great advice. Generally octane doesn’t matter. Generally. Though I am a high octane person there is no “right answer”. But quality gas is always worth it in the long term. If you plan on selling early then buy whatever. But if you plan on keeping it for a long time quality gas is a...
  12. Possible solution for software update errors

    Don’t know. Ford doesn’t giveI release notes that I know of. I have had a lot of random issues with my radio. Time will tell if my ambient lighting turns off on its own. Or my screen freezes. Or my CarPlay won’t connect. Or it does but the screen is unresponsive. Or the radio takes minutes to...
  13. Possible solution for software update errors

    yes. Thank you, forgot to mention that. The hard reset removes your Fordpass registration and you have to reconnect it.
  14. Possible solution for software update errors

    I have been trying for 2 days to update the software in my XLT. I have had issues with everything from wifi refusing to connect to being stuck at 0%. I have tried the soft reset and turning the truck on and off. Nothing worked. Finally I went into setting and did a factory reset of the...
  15. Seat Protector, NOT covers. Experience?

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J7N582R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I got 3 of these from amazon. They look better than the pic and they kinda match the seats. Any of these "towel covers" will work. They are easy to put on and roll up nicely under rear seat until...
  16. CarPlay audio sucks?

    In setting on your iphone there is a setting the equalize the volume. I believe it is in the music app settings. It is called sound check. When on the volume will be noticeably lower, but all songs will sound the same. Turn it off and songs will go back to normal (louder) volume, but there...
  17. Wax recommendations?

    you got the more advanced ceramic probably. If you follow the link in my post, I got the spray ceramic on, which is good for 12 to 18 months. But in southwestern PA they coat the roads in salt and ash anytime it dips below freezing and that is havoc on the ceramic coating. It’s still works...
  18. Wax recommendations?

    Adams spray ceramic It is much better then the water based ceramics from McGuires, turtle wax, etc.. But it is easier to apply then the "real" ceramic coatings. On a dry truck it took me about 30-45 min to apply with a microfiber block and towel. I also did not do the 5 hours of prep like...
  19. AWD and snow

    I once didn't make a grass hillside with about 12 inches of drifed snow. I just wanted to see if I could. I was so close though. I turned around and went up the driveway with no issue. Good tires and no ice and you shouldn't have a problem.
