  1. Steeda Rear Sway Bar- Spacers???

    Following up here. I did a bunch of research and it looks like Steeda changed from weld stoppers to clamped collars. This was intended to remove week spots and pressure points that cracked some of their other bars. I ended up noticing that my bar had moved a little to 1 side and did end up...
  2. Installing a DC-DC Charger: 50 A

    Hey All, I ended up installing the DC-DC charger in the cubby and, putting a plug/cover near the license plate (pics below). I really liked Victron's 50A charger because it runs a lot cooler than their 30A (more efficient), and the app lets you customize the exact in/out amperage. I've tested...
  3. Installing a DC-DC Charger: 50 A

    230 amp LiFePo batteries. Originally, I bought a 20 A charger that plugs into a standard house 120v plug. I was planning on charging right out of the provided plug in the bed while driving, then direct to the trailer if/when I had a hookups. 20 A at 14.5 V is 290 W, so it should work with the...
  4. Installing a DC-DC Charger: 50 A

    Hey MTC, I'm planning on installing a DC-DC charger in the mav, so I can recharge my trailer battery while driving. There a few questions/satiny checks I'd love some help with, and cheers if others have considering the same thing! The plan to go with the Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger since...
  5. Tips for Changing Transmission Fluid

    For me it was 4 and 1/4 quarts. I've seen the nine figure posted around online, but My printed manual doesn't specify. Plus, I've seen several other videos that confirm it's under under 5. I ended up adding close to 4.75 quarts and draining quite a bit out when I leveled & ran the vehicle.
  6. Lasfit breaks with tail light recall update (RRN: 23C41)

    Hey MTC, I have a 22' Lariat EB 4k with Lasfit LEDs on most lights of the Truck. I went in for a recall/software update to prevent a potential engine shutoff. There was another software recall on the tail lights, "Rear Turn Signal Outage Notification" Recall Reference Number (RRN): 23C41 that I...

  8. CVF Intercooler Install on 2022 Maverick Ecoboost 2.0 -- DIY instructions writeup with photos

    Cheers! Thank you @colinl, any idea the exact name of the PID and/or what bank or network it's in? I wasn't able to find charge or boost temp, and only saw boost temp voltage, meaning there likely is a gauge, but not sure what I'm missing Here the options of network A
  9. CVF Intercooler Install on 2022 Maverick Ecoboost 2.0 -- DIY instructions writeup with photos

    Update- The intercooler worked great! I did some high elevation and temps with a heavy travel trailer (Rpod 180- 3,800 GVWR). It was was 3 people, their stuff, and a weeks worth of food to Crater Lake. We were in some of the worst towing conditions for multiple hours. I used the OBDLink MX+...
  10. CVF Intercooler Install on 2022 Maverick Ecoboost 2.0 -- DIY instructions writeup with photos

    Thanks all! Hope it helps others with their install. It wasn't too difficult, just a good amount of cutting. Main difference over the Tremor @Barksdale123 , were the recovery hooks (Tremor/FX only), plastic I left behind, and it looked like the plastic box around my intercooler was different...
  11. Towing Near the Limit (heavy loads / trailer)! Experience & advice

    Update- I did some high elevation (5,000+) and temps (100+) with a heavy load. We took the trailer, 3 people/stuff, and a weeks worth of food to Crater Lake. The truck continued to do great on the highway, but I was definitely aware of the additional weight when maneuvering, breaking, etc. (as...
  12. Towing Near the Limit (heavy loads / trailer)! Experience & advice

    Yeah, fair point. And am definitely adding a lot to the tongue weight. The previous owner put in a Tempur-Pedic bed that weights a lot and it's the main storage in the TT. Additionally, each trailer has a standard hitch height based on the tire size, axle, and suspension. So the riser may or...
  13. Change your PTU (Power Transfer Unit) / RDU (Rear Drive Unit) OIL!

    Good call on the oil swap. If you're up for it, you can send some samples to testing agencies and they can send you a breakdown of what's in it to see if any particulate levels are high. Either way, I'm always of fan of changing fluids/lubricants more than the book. For the replacement fluids...

  15. Tips for Changing Transmission Fluid

    Honestly, everywhere I've seen a transmission fluid change had those steps (even for other vehicles). When you don't have a transmission dipstick, the procedure is to fill & drain out the excess (crazy I know). You have to run the engine/gears to make sure it's cleared out any bubbles, and that...
  16. Towing Near the Limit (heavy loads / trailer)! Experience & advice

    addressing some questions: 1. Yes, Tow/Haul mode is your friend! It keeps things smooth during takeoff (even power delivery), and even shifts to lower gears when going down hill. I've heard the truck uses angle sensors to know you're going down hill and downshift when brakes are applied. 2...
  17. Change your PTU (Power Transfer Unit) / RDU (Rear Drive Unit) OIL!

    Yeah, since the hybrids are front wheel drive only, and use a CVT transmission, I don't think you'll need to do this maintenance
  18. Towing Near the Limit (heavy loads / trailer)! Experience & advice

    Hey MTC, I've been towing for a bit and wanted to post my experience/advice for others thinking about towing heavy loads or a trailer. I use my 2022 EB-4k Maverick to tow a 2021 R-pod 180. It's an 18' trailer with a 20' frame that weights ~2,900 lbs dry and is 3,500 - 4,000 lbs with gear &...
  19. Towing 4,000lbs?

    Jumping in here I use my 2021 EB-4k Maverick to tow a 2021 R-pod 180 that's an 18' trailer with a 20' frame (shout out to @McBear who has the same model). It weights ~2,900 dry and is 3,500 - 4,000 with gear & water. I did weigh it on a CAT scale and was ~100 lbs over the GCWR with all the...
