  1. Tire pressure.

    We had a two-axle RV with TPMS. Tire pressures will vary daily and even time of day dependent, or when one side is in shade and the other is not. Plus you have to decide if you are chasing nameplate tire pressures, comfort tire pressures (low), or mpg tire pressures (high). All have an effect...
  2. Post Your Other Rides / Vehicles

    Two of my other rides. One gets 99 mpg and one does not. 2018 Honda Rebel and 2008 Shelby Supersnake.
  3. Oil change schedule / interval? Synthetic oil?

    I just read where that to comply with EPA insane standards (intended to eventually kill the car) that the auto companies are going to lower (thinner) viscosity oils. My take is that if 5/50 full synthetic is good for my 2008 Shelby Supersnake (725 hp) it ought to be good in my Tremor. I was...
  4. EDITED THREAD! Dealer is replacing both front cv axles!!!Need Some Mechnicial Help Please!

    Don't forget the universal joint(s) on the driveline - Have you tried to shake the driveline?
  5. What did your maverick replace?

    My 2008 Shelby Supersnake. Just kidding - I replaced my 2020 F-250 Super Duty after I sold the 5th wheel.
  6. Do you think Ranchero would have been a better Name than Maverick since Maverick was a car before?

    Ford Ranchero, introduced in 1957, was produced through 1979. Here is a link (with photos): https://news.classicindustries.com/ford-ranchero-rugged-dependability-high-style-in-one-package
  7. RealTruck Alert

    I ordered the smoke Aeroskin low profile hood protector from @Realtruck on July 18 and I am still waiting. The website has no information on stock quantities. My order status is "pending fulfillment" which probably means back ordered. Yikes!
  8. Garbage Jack Handle

    Went to Harbor F and bought a 1/2 inch extension (had the socket) and tried to loosen wheel nuts on right front - the nuts seemed loose to me (tight but not very). So time to pull out my torque wrench.
  9. Yikes! Paint Chipping and Worse!

    Having problems uploading image - sorry
  10. Yikes! Paint Chipping and Worse!

    My 2025 Tremor has already (900 miles) got chips (one shown) and a ding clear through to metal (just above finger). Bug deflector here I come!
  11. Actual MPG v Indicated MPG

    Remember - gas pumps can shut off at different tank levels, skewing your results. It is very hard to get an accurate read on tank level without a lot of spillage. But good luck!
  12. MPG on First Road Trip - 2025 Tremor

    Right - although roads could be steep and winding - maximum posted limit was 65.
  13. What did your maverick replace?

    2020 F-250 Super Duty diesel 10 speed automatic used for towing a 5th wheel. Sold the 5th wheel and the F-250 was not real good for around town, although it was a fantastic towing and road machine. Sold the F-250 to the dealer, purchased the 2025 Tremor off the lot and walked away with more...
  14. MPG on First Road Trip - 2025 Tremor

    Drove from Cañon City to Breckenridge (190 miles roundtrip) and got 27 mpg (mainly uphill) going and 35 mpg coming back. Very happy about those results.
  15. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    The next things I bought were the center console button cover and console cover - both necessary items if dogs ride with you.
  16. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    Great idea and reference on the LED reverse bulbs!
  17. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    Maverick sun shield - just in time for first day of summer.
  18. What does it take to get 300whp?

    I grew up in Southern California (a place which doesn't exist anymore) in the '50s and '60s and it is close to sacrilege to question the need for more hp - just sayin' :)
  19. Fuel Dilution of Oil - Ecoboost

    Oil catch cans can help prevent oil contamination of a heat exchanger in a supercharger. The contamination reduces the efficiency of cooling by the intercooler. Since the 2.0 has a turbocharger if you install one it probably just looks pretty. :)
