you should give the Original Vented Cover a try if you are worried about moisture. It is not a problem but the vented cover provides peace of mind.

š Thanks Richard!
Congratulations and Welcome! Our Maverick is entirely my wifeās and is her first truck. She LOVES it! We are in our 60ās so age isnāt really a thing. Now you need a tailgate hole cover to make it complete! PM me and I will get you fixed up. Or you can just join us at the next meet and grab 1...
And depending on the design of the seal structure that would be correct. Suspa has struts/springs with special seals for piston up installation. Iām sure other mfgs do also.
The amount of oil is less than a drop or 2. It is better to install piston down for longer life. Either way, if the seal fails it will need to be replaced. It will just last longer lubricated. The actual dampening of the strut is nitrogen gas, not liquid.
The pictures actually show the correct mounting. Mounting this way allows the seal oil in the cylinder to remain on the the piston seal when in the closed position, which is 99% of the time.
Thanks! They are still available.
For Those that want to print their own, PETG seems to work well. ASA, ABS and Nylon also work but cost more and are sometimes harder to print well.
Well I finally actually retired! We will make plans to be at both since we have missed the last couple! Club Members if you have seen 3D printed items on the Web that you cannot print let me know. I have more time to print things now. I can bring them to the meets.
Yes despite my argument with Richard about the slots, I have to admit the Vented/Slotted version is the most popular!
yes @P99Guy still exists and is now officially retired (5 pm yesterday) so maybe some cool new stuff can start to materialize.
RC I hope all is well with you and your family!
Every product I have purchased on TEMU has been the EXACT same product I would purchase on Amazon just with really, really slow shipping. Most of the time I need it now so Amazon wins.
No worries! I almost want to post the original files just to dent the sales of the 3 Chinese companies that are selling copies of the original.
i never got into it to make any money. Richard Cranium and I just wanted to resolve an issue for Maverick Owners. It has only ever been available on...
Or if you want to support the Member that still sells the ORIGINALā¦.
