I purchased the Mabett flairs from Amazon and they look great. The 5% that was off - the rear left flair inside lip was a bit too wide keeping the flair tape from adhering to the fender and the rear flairs failed to cover all painted areas. Super easy installation. Looks like it will be a...
Well Mavie II is back on the road - painting was a challenge mostly because Ford's paint codes dont match the truck ( Oxford White at least ) Praying I dont have to do more bodywork anytime soon on this truck :)
As Promised here is the video on the removal and re-install of the rear quarter panel. Part 2 will be painting and brief reinstall ( its always much easier going back together than taking it apart :) )
Working on Mavie 2 today - another employee wreck. Video coming soon. I can verify that it is 100% bolt on and no spot welds. Hey I'm going glass half full lol. Thought everyone would enjoy seeing the skeleton on the rear of the Maverick. My warped mind also thought it wouldn't be that hard to...
Whew - getting the wrecked front cooling module done was not without one or two hiccups ;) If you have to replace any component - radiator, condenser, Hybrid radiator or just want to find the correct replacement coolant ( cheaper than the Factory Ford ) learn from my mistakes hahahaha The...
After the wreck of my Maverick #2 - I was looking thru the parts for the AC system and it lists 2 different expansion valves one for 134A and one for R1234Y .
And looking at the condenser it lists 134A and R1234Y Both in the diagram .....
It would lead me to believe that changing out...
Well I predicted the truck would be toast. Could have been worse - My first shot at remove and replace the "cooling module" as Ford would call it. Next video will be a better DIY at repair as I have learned much about the way Ford designed this front end to be dis- assembled. Hint - it is from...
This May according to Ranger6G Forum Ford will be taking orders for the new Ranger 6G. It basically looks like a big Maverick. There is no news whether there will be a PHEV or a standard hybrid but for all you hybrid owners will you consider jumping over to the Ranger ship if plug in or...

Got home with my 2nd hybrid Maverick - From paying extra to a blizzard it was an adventure. I give my thought on how dealerships can extract more money from your wallet and how to prevent that ;)
There has been many questions on the keys for our beloved trucks and as a locksmith I can say if you lose all your keys you will more than likely have to tow it back to the dealer until our software is updated. HOWEVER I have confirmed on board programming works if you have the original two...
Im working on a jumper cable project but trying to figure out the bolt size that fits the threaded positive pin for jump starting under the hood - seems to be a pretty fine thread ?? Anyone figure that out ?? Thanks !
After Installing the Cheap DIY Daytime Running Lights $14.00 Pretty Impressive for The Price I started to look into a lighted emblem - mission accomplished. Easier than some instructions Ive seen but a bit more than I though at first. How did it turn out ? -
Here is the video with all the...
I typically look at Copart every few weeks and see what is a "totaled" Maverick. I saw this one and wow, hope everyone was ok .....

I installed this light strip under the hood and it is pretty impressive for the low cost. simple to install and gives you a "Knight Rider" effect when they start up :) I like it is completely covered by the hood.

Whew finished replacing the pleather in my Lariat with a leather seat kit from Leatherseats.com. I was even more happy that I thought I would be. Their kits are superb quality and 1200.00 total for premium leather and installation kit. Beats the quote I got from Katzkins by $1200.00. I did...
I'm installing leather replacement upholstery on my lariat and there's this gel pad at the base. Is this the sensor for the airbag ? Morning if anybody knows what this is used for.
Lariat Hybrid w/Lux 360 - 3500 miles. Went on a trip halfway through the clicking started. finally figured out there was a loud click over 40 MPH when going over line. Adaptive cruise on or off no matter. Lane Keeping on or of - no difference. With everything else off it still clicks an the "...
