I also have a 3 way switch so I can choose truck bed power or the hidden motor cycle battery in the cubby I have hidden.
I did a tire rotation the other week and I noticed oil residue all around my left rear shock. No noises or unusual driving issues. Brought it in for my brake controller recall and asked dealer to check it out. Looks like I am getting a new shock (part ordered).

So I finally tracked down why I never got my ford pass points back when I bought my Maverick in October.
Turns out the dealership kanata ford is not part of the ford pass points program :mad: . So make sure your dealer is part of the program and if not,. Negotiate 250$ of extras.

So I just got my bakflip mx4 tonneau cover installed. Decided to install a LED light strip. Left it on by accident when I was testing it when I closed the tailgate. Noticed light getting through one corner. All be damned. Loosened up the tonneau cover and re-adjusted. No more light getting...

One major thing I'll miss about my wrangler.
Stupid that you have to get the lux package to get them. Make it a separate add in! All northern states and Canada need this for the winters

So ford said we could 3d print accessories. I looked briefly and can't find any of the 3d files (I have a 3d printer). Anyone know where I could get these?
