  1. Premature rear brake rotor wear

    Both for front rotors. The front rotors I bought in the set are all 3. I meant slotted and drilled for both front and back rotors. Sorry for the slop there.
  2. Ford EV Truck & Low-Price Platform -- New Specs & Details

    Call me when Ford, Tesla, etc. invest serious money in building a national charging infrastructure needed to make EV's viable outside of specific usage parameters. Until then this is just another fleecing of ideological muppets. This is like building a cell phone while touting all it's features...
  3. Does Maverick comes with built-in navigation?

    Is that Ford Connected Navigation or Ford Digital experience? Yes there is a difference between them. Ford Connected Navigation uses Synch 4 and TeleNav for maps while the Digital Experience uses Android Automotive OS and google maps.
  4. Does Maverick comes with built-in navigation?

    It can though if you upgrade the software to SYNC 4 and install if not already installed an APIM module. You'll also need the telematics unit for the cloud based updates. Just make sure it has built in offline navigation if you lose cell service or decide to not pay the subscription fee. You can...
  5. S&B intake installed. What a difference

    Oil your regular air filter like they do on cold air intakes.
  6. Top End cleaner to prevent carbon buildup on valve stems.

    Wrong. They run cleaner because they combust more of the fuel not less. That also leads to more power output on each combustion cycle especially for producing torque at low rpms which is why the engines also last longer for heavy load haulers.
  7. Top End cleaner to prevent carbon buildup on valve stems.

    It is not about the quality of the fuel but the fact a GDI setup aerosolizes the fuel to the point there is no excess to wash the valves. It increases MPG but carbon buildup is your trade off. There is no free lunch the only cost issue is the cleaner used or walnut blasting vs. gas saved in mpg...
  8. Insurance suggestions?

    I used to have farm bureau which was good when I bought the vehicle for the $500 off the truck but switched later to Progressive. I'd definitely have them quote you a rate.
  9. What is your maintenance plan for your transmission in the Ecoboost?

    I check mine at every 30k and then also have the dealer do it to have it on record that the fluid is good for warranty purposes. Once it gets to a very dark amber or brown is when it gets flushed and changed. Service manual shows exactly how to do it, so when the time comes I'll do it myself.
  10. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    Let us know if you want a medal or a monument 👍 This a public forum comments and info within are meant for everyone reading.
  11. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    Fair enough on the DOT 2 I am not a classic vehicle guy. The original point still applies, the fluid wasn't subjected to higher braking temps like it is in ABS system. Also and this I don't know the answer to is what material where the brake lines made out of on those trucks. If they were...
  12. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    It is, low viscosity fluid is needed for quick brake response without boiling the fluid in ABS systems and even more so with electronic brake boosters and things like ACC.
  13. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    No it is about color and moisture content. Dark brown or black the fluid is done, 3% - 3.5% moisture content the fluid is also done regardless of color.
  14. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    That should read Dot 2 is not hydroscopic. Your truck your decisions. Jus keep in mind these newer systems are more prone to vapor lock because of the hydroscopic nature of the fluid. the more water it absorbs the lower the boiling point. ABS systems heat fluid much higher than older non ABS...
  15. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    Brake systems and fluid were also different them. No ABS systems and depending how old Dot 2 fluid which is a whole different beast from DOT 3 and up fluids. For starters DOT 2 is not hydroscopic because of the composition.
  16. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    I paid around $30 at the dealer when I changed mine. Only reason is I couldn't find an aftermarket direct replacement at walmart or auto parts stores and wanted to do it right away.
  17. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    I did my brake fluid at ~65K at about 4 3/4 years and it wasn't dark brown but well aged. It was definitely due for a flush. Doing it at 48K is not a bad idea. Also if possible go from the Dot 4 LV Motorcraft fluid to a better brake fluid like the Bosch ESI16 323N low viscosity brake fluid which...
  18. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    If they were so hard to replace they wouldn't bring them out to you for show then try to sell you on replacing them. If it is a real sleazy operation they will have a stock dirty air and cabin filter they bring out for all customers. The hardest part of replacing a cabin air filter is not...
  19. Someone needs to get their game face on

    If they are outsourcing the programming there is part of your problem.
  20. Someone needs to get their game face on

    Except for the paint flaking off on the edge of the hood my 22XL has been solid. It has had recalls but they've all been for software related issues except for the 12v battery which got me a free replacement and the side airbags which where a NTHSA related issue, nothing to do with them not...
