8 months after FINALY receiving my FORD MAVERICK Hybrid XLT, it DIED. Had to have it (dragged-no tether) Towed to the dealer. One whole week later they told me it was just a defective battery. That's OK, I can understand a freak, one in a billion goofed up car battery. Two days ago, or 3 months...
I thought it was the "RE-generation system" releasing unexpectedly, that forces the Driver to focus more on the brakes. ie: Pull up to a stop light and stop, without taking any pressure off the brake pedal, the truck begins rolling forward. Is it a "BRAKE GRABBING" issue ? It does seem to become...
Thats just wrong. A kid I grew up with, put a solid lift cam in his 1970 Chevelle, with a 396 automatic, and we were all stoked. That #, 13.56 was permanently etched in my brain. He would now blow the doors off my 65 Goat. I have owned over 40 cars & bikes. I really can't find anything to...
A Truck Driver friend of mine lost a little control of his own bodily functions while driving his semi thru a curve on the freeway and an empty, black plastic trash bag, blew across in front of him. If the load would have SH--TED, robotics would be to blame for taking lives. Arnold tried to warn us.
No one has EVER proven an engine failure due to lack of REGULAR oil changes. Did the bearing get destroyed (spin) by NOT changing the oil regularly ? Or by letting the crank case run low ? Caked up oil is caused by paraffin based oil. That build up is heated, crusty, wax. Oil never breaks down...
God Bless America ! Where Our greatest right, is our right to Bitch. I just returned from my Doctor, He says I only have 20 years to live..... MY silly little bitch is that, TOO MUCH new technology is over-kill. I have owned well over 40 Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles. I have operated Airplanes...
I learned to work on front ends, suspensions, brakes etc. in my teens. I still remember vividly being taught how to release tapered ends from Ball Joints and Tie Rod ends. I was taught to use a FIVE POUND MAUL AND SWING AT THAT CASTING AS HARD AS YOU COULD, AS MANY times as it took to break...
I am biased, but it Sounds to me like you tried to force the 40 ton vehicle off the road, with you 2 ton truck, rather than lifting the throttlefor a few seconds. A Semi weighs as much as 21 Mavericks. I drove semi's around San Francisco Bay Area for 25 years. People (unconsiously) "HATE" to...
My 6 Foot FIVE neighbor says he would be fine making a several hour trip in the back of my Maverick. Let's do a ROAD TRIP WALLE. I want to share my Music library with a TRUE ARTIST.
So Joe, How Low DID you Go ? Is that 2" front and rear ? I think the STANCE is almost perfect. I want to do the same only maybe leave half to one inch in the rear, make the bed rails look flat as the Earth.
Not sure which is prettier. I have driven 40 ton Semi's, Forklifts, Rat Rods, 1200 cc Suzuki Bandit @ high 11s. My new Maverick gets up on the freeway without worry of becoming a Mack Truck Hood ornament. Someday, Somewhere, someone will build a 6 second Maverick. I am stoked with what I got...
