Project QuikRik. My Velocity Blue XL AWD Performance build

[Dueces]

The timing was IMPECCABLE

Yeah, so I'm basically ready for another 50k miles of R&D, hahaha.

That, or I could sell it and move on to another project, like I tend to do, lol.

Order a Lobo 402A in December.

The port injection does have my eye! But if that was going to be the case, I think I would just do it myself to this one, because I could probably do it for under $1k.

I would never spend $40k on a Mav, haha, just feels wrong.

the Lobo 402A is the xlt-based one that you can't order yet. Long McArthur said it will be $35k.

you would get a new warranty, paddle shifters, cooled PTU and RDU, torque vectoring RDU... and port injection.

also a gas particulate filter. I'm curious to see how you would deal with it, LOL.

 

[Dueces]

Yeah, but even that seems like quite a bit of money! And that Damned front end.... Haha

Is that Gas Particulate Filter proven to be on the new engines? All I have seen so far is rumors.

I think it time for a diff swap from a wrecked Tremor, with lobo programming.

I would do inappropriate things for a Tremor diff in my FX4... I hope someone figures out the retrofit.

Nah, just wait for some kid to wreck his Lobo in January...

Dueces the axle shake, was it constant or at a certain speed? Mine is shaking like hell 80+ and tires are balanced and alignment is within spec.

 

[Dueces]

It was under acceleration to start, from like 20-60, then grew to 70ish, and started to get more violent. Then it would be there slightly at cruise speeds, but would randomly come in and out.

 

[gunnmitten]

Damn, then the shaking I'm feeling is probably the same CV issue...all stock suspension @ 42k but that's almost exactly my symptoms, heavy shake on accel to 45-50ish but lately I've been convincing myself it's been like this since '22

 

[Dueces]

Yeah, definitely take it in to get looked at. Take a tech for a drive to make sure they feel it and you are all on the same page.

Adding a couple pics from the MaverickFest from Saturday. It was a blast, and I made a seperate post about it.

The Strut Brace fits good and it does make the front seem a little more solid. Probably works great in conjuction with being lowered and upgraded sway bars....

Hello everyone! I am updating this thread to say I have officially put the truckette up for sale: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/2022-velcity-blue-12-second-maverick-for-sale.55997/

Bittersweet, but it will allow me to start a new project for my daughter for her first car!

 

[Maverickman74]

Well it was a good run.... And it runs pretty good!
