Wow, didn't realize how long it's been since I've come on here. Anyways, wrap this service up with a bow...happy 2nd birthday to my Maverick

Little back story...my 2000 7.3 F-250 has been a wonderful truck. However, I drive too many miles and go on far too many long trips(mainly to see family) to be driving around in a 25 year-old truck. When I was looking at getting a new truck, I wanted to pull the trigger on a Super Duty with the...

I thought parts supply would get better too(especially in your case with the 2.0 EcoBoost being such a common engine for Ford), but we still see it at the shop I work at. Very common parts used in many of the trucks that move our country's goods around can still have a long wait time. We have...

Congrats and hope to see pictures when you get it. I'm sad they killed off Hot Pepper Red, but I saw the Ruby in person at the local dealer a couple weeks ago, and it is definitely a very sharp color!

Only thing tire size will do is throw off your speedometer/odometer, and potentially make the truck work a bit harder if the size is bigger. Nowadays cars have a ton of computers in them, and it's amazing how much a bad battery or low voltage can screw with everything.

Best I did on a tank with my FWD EcoBoost(that I actually paid attention to) was like 540ish miles, 95% freeway driving to Florida from Michigan. Still had another 50 miles of range left, but I like to combine stops on long trips. I could have made it the rest of the way (average was increasing...

I spend most of my time wrenching on my company’s trucks instead of driving them nowadays, but I still see a lot out there. Glad nothing happened, and I’m still adamant about shutting off that stupid auto start/stop as soon as I turn the key. It scares the crap out of me when I forget to hit the...

That’s one of the biggest complaints I hear about newer GM is electrical problems. And lifters. And timing chains.

I would set an appointment to get it looked at. Could be water intrusion due to a manufacture defect…had a 2014 Chevy truck that would lose electronic power steering in the rain. Slim possibility it got struck by lightning…place I used to work had a Freightliner dump truck get struck in a storm...

Looks like someone needs to give a little lesson on abstinence to the Chevy Blazer and Subaru Baja

Ouch, so sorry about your luck. Good reminder for me to not be pissed about the 2 scuffs on my bumper from my deer strike last fall.

Don't fault you one bit...the new Escapes are a very nice vehicle and everyone I know with one loves theirs

I have just the opposite...my closest dealer(from whom I did not purchase from) has called me several times offering to perform my outstanding recalls. Although it probably has something to do with the fact that the person calling from said dealer is an old family friend

It’s probably going to blow up next week…just kidding, you’ll be fine. I’m a believer in making it work during break-in. Don’t beat on it, but make it work under a load to seat everything. When I rebuilt the engine in my tractor, I ran it for a few minutes to warm up, then dropped a plow in...

I do quick touchups in the spring and fall

He is risen!

I don't care what people say...drop-in bedliners ONLY for me. I like the added layer of hard plastic when I throw hard/sharp materials in the bed. Rotted out bed you say? At least a hard liner can be removed and washed underneath, or at least junk can flow underneath to the designed drains built...

2023 bought new in August '23. If I gave her a good bath underneath, it would look like I just drove her off the lot. Been through 2 Michigan winters(with loads of salt), but she got plastered with Fluid Film within a week of signing papers.

There's no denying the original axles have had issues. Ford came out with a new design that will hopefully rectify the problem. 35k miles on mine and I have no shudder, clicking/noise from the CV joints, and absolutely no signs of leaking from the boots. I'm prepared for them to fail...

I found with mine that if you use trim restorer/cleaner, you better make sure to not overdo it and make sure that stuff is DRY before the truck gets exposed to any moisture, or there will be runs down the paint. Chemical Guys Back on Black aerosol seems to dry quick and not cause streaking in my...
