Hello,

New here and to owning my first Ford Maverick Tremor being a slightly used 2025 however have noticed various issues that are concerning, first one being, what is causing an interior dong sound (1x only) just after driving a few minutes every time I start out?
thanks!
So start the truck and sit and wait to see if you hear a dong while keeping an eye on your dash and your radio screen.
OR
Reset your radio settings back to factory to see if there is a setting you don't know about that has a sound notification value turned on.

Good dong...uhm Luck !!

Why would anyone in their right mind put a Big Block Chevrolet in a Ford truck?

I don't know about the big blocks, but apparently it's far easer (and cheaper) to put a chevy small block into a classic ford than a ford engine.

Most of the ford rat-rods have chevy engines & transmissions.

That it should be prosecuted as a crime against Americana is a whole separate issue . . .

I think it's easier because of the rear oil sump.

I had to buck the system and put a Ford Small Block in my 33 Ford Street Rod when I built it…. It was the “right” way to do it in my opinion…. It also has rear sump.

Could be one or both sides of truck is over 1/2 of a lane dash or stripe for 30-40 feet? Most likely I expect is there is no stripe for a distance on passenger side.
