  1. Rear end groan while turning in AWD Maverick? New differential fluid is the solution

    Groan on slow turns started at 5k, never got worse. Took it in at 50k before warranty ran out. Ford told dealer to do a drain on rear diff. before ripping it out. Fresh fluid took care of the noise.

  5. Tailgate Assist problem

    my eyes are getting old with me. is this a zip tie around strut and cable with the un-fastened end left as a barrier between the two?
  6. IMHO most Mavericks will rot out at the left rear quarter, will yours?

    pretty much solves it. prior, wet roads would cause grime seeping out from left taillight. right side clean. after cubby, nothing.
