Thanks all, really appreciate all the feedback.
I am all at once reassured and unsure lol.
When I started noticing this on Friday last week, it was not long after I hopped in and left, so it was not fully warmed I'm assuming, but it really seemed like something in the engine note/noise had...
Hi gang
I've had my Maverick for about 750 miles now, it has just over 1k. I drive generally every 2-3 days as I work from home.
Truck was purchased for me by the co. my buddy owns the co, he purchased it in oregon. Took delivery & had it at his place for about 6 weeks getting a new shell...
Some very nice rides...
Before I started driving a co. truck I was into sporty cars and sedans, roadracing motorcycles and Track days on 2 and 4 wheels.. Oh and silly expensive Mtn bikes..
A cpl of previous projects I still own:
2002 Lexus IS300 with a list of performance modifications...
Nice rides ;-) & thank you ! I'm fat any more lol,..the last 25y have me pushing an extra 40-45 lbs uphill. I upgraded to 220mm from the 200mms after a crazy long dh run where i felt the front fade, I could smell it, and the OE rotor had some pretty color on it when I checked later.. I...
My 2024 Lariat only options were tow package and upgraded tires and 17' wheels, the shell was match painted and installed about 4-5 weeks after purchase.
This is a company vehicle purchased for me, so i'm assuming they were an optional spec from the Ford Dealer in Oregon it was purchased from...
A muffler should have no way to impact the emissions system or sensor readings in any way. The 1st O2 sensors are near the engine itself, before the CAT. there is usually 1 more after the CAT. to monitor the cat's performance. The only way a muffler could be used to void a warranty claim is if...
I got one a week after picking up my Lariat, after 1 quick trip to santa barbara 45 min away with windows open on a gorgeous day and the Lab in the back literally blew lab hair EVERYWHERE and into every seam and crevice.. It was less than $35 on 😖 Amazon....
I spent a good hour+ just cleaning &...
I misspoke meaning 91 vs 93 I was primarily referring to low vs high octane use for standard vehicles. Had no questions on why mfgs tune for the national avg. but thanks for the detail.
When i start messin' with the power in this thing i'll look into a '91 octane tune ;-)
Never seen VP...
I know right?
I mean technically, I don't recall checking for it ever as the mirror on that was never "in the way" like the mavericks was... but I had a Mirror/Dash camera w/a reverse camera screen built into it setup clipped to the OE mirror.. I cant imagine I wouldnt have noticed that...
This is interesting, Im used to running 87 in the old F150... I manage our fleet and gas program, and always understood that for the average engine, 87 is fine.
For a high performance engine, you should use the higher octane. As this is a little turbo 4 i assumed 93 was best in my 3 fillups so...
Interesting that it takes 2h for the computer to reset with no power...
Im all too familiar with the ECU reset from modding the hell out of my Lexus IS bitd.
but we only had to disconn. the neg. cable from the batt for a cpl. min, to re-set th ECU so it would learn again at next startup...
well ive not had a new car since 2002 and that lexus did not have this feature my 2013 ford F150 didnt either so I never even assumed it was a thing lol.
Well played Ford.
Great thread, still workin' through it all, here is where I ended up. After taking delivery of the Maverick my OG yakima rack was looking a little beat.
Looking at new racks, damn, the days of a rock solid $400-$500 dollar rack are LONG GONE apparently, everything i liked was $800- $1k+++
I...
Thanks, im familiar, but with the plate down at bumper level its just about at the level of the racks main beams and offset to the right so not optimal
I'm just wondetring if anyone else has developed an original work around as none of the obvious aftermarket options look to be helpful, im...
Glen,
Thanks for posting.. yr pics look pretty much exactly like what im seeing with a bike on the rack..
I'm well versed in side mirror use, and while I've been called different, I'm a pretty careful driver esp. in a br. new company vehicle... It's' almost 3 weeks new for me, I work mostly...
..While I undrstand your situation..." tail gate down/camera shootign the road "
what pray tell is the " supplied SMS solution"
I've either been supplied and am unaware or.. maybe I got gypped
;-)
You can find panel connectors pin/clips like these at your local auto parts stors for a variety of cars i na variety of types sizes lengths and diameters.. I'm sure you can find something a bit better than these for your needs, they arent expensive and there is a huge variety, I have a box of...
HA! thank you...i'd no idea the mirror can be adjusted vertically as well as for angle.
It is a small amount of adjustment, but it is there.
I just came out of an F150 and I immediately raised the drivers seat to the upper limit as the truck felt SO LOW when I 1st got in and took it for a...
