Hey Admin and moderators, Is there any way we can perhaps have a badge naming contest for a great title like “Moderator” under Tracy Bowman’s name? With her permission of course. She is a delight and very caring person on this forum for all members. Many look up to her and appreciate her even...

Ok, After an app update last week on iPhone I couldn’t get my oil life. Now I’m getting this message. Is my battery going? I just got home from work an hour ago.

New never out of package blind spot mirrors.. $5.00. Not going to ship anywhere. I’m located in OC CA. Heck I paid more for shipping. PM me if interested.

Hello All, I know it’s not a Ranger post but I really need to pay tribute to this great man to my many friends here. If this is inappropriate then I will not be offended if it’s removed. I had a great experience by attending a christening ceremony for a ship named after him. Woody was a very...

Hey Dave, There seems to a lot of people there looking for a “tail gate assist “. You may want to mosey over there with your damper solution… Being a Maverick almost requires them to have one..

Now that Dave’s on vacation is it safe to remove the tailgate damper? Or will the check tailgate light still come on? I have to do it my garage so no one calls CPS on me. Any suggestions??

My brother a retired Ford mechanic told me today that in past the ASS would cause long term ring wear or abnormal cylinder wear causing “pockets” because of the start conditions where when cranked the pistons are not fully aligned as the motor is continually running… Weird …

I’ve been watching the Maverick Truck Club forum as we are waiting for my wife’s Maverick to be built and delivered.. There are a few threads about the famous/infamous damper. Install issues mostly but hey it’s probably peoples first truck. Same banter whether you need one or not. ? Dave to...

I just noticed my windshield was cracked yesterday. It’s just above where the wipers sits. It’s a little over a foot long horizontal with the ends going down. It’s a stress crack. The dealer checked it out and said he’s seen hundreds of warranty claim windshield cracks but only three he...

Ok I have a 21 Lariat Ranger , 1st high end truck I’ve ever owned… Is it me or do people exaggerate their perception of problems?? Having owned vehicles for 45 years and many F series and E series Fords . I get that there are niggling issues but come on!! I ordered this or that package and...

Is there a way to allow the rear windows to operate while locked from the driver’s side. The front windows work just fine. I’ve read the manual but nothing except it’s there. I like to roll the rear windows down just enough for my pup to put her head but if unlocked she steps on the window...

It seems below 30F my damper screams and is very slow lowering. It’s ok going up but man it sure screams going down. Above 30 no problem??? WTH… no I’m not picking on Dave.

Ok I love my Ranger but I put a deposit down on a Rivian R1T. Except delivery in a little over a year. The deposit is 100% refundable. I’ve actually seen the Rivian in real world action and it’s quite impressive. Yeah that front end is butt ugly but I don’t have to look at it while driving...

Is this worth it or snake oil? Other recommendations? I know it ain’t cheap just looking long term..

Ok I usually fill at a quarter tank but stuff happens. I left work and it said 20 miles left. Drove 9 miles and filled it up. I’ve never pushed it that close in decades!!! Glad I had my mortgage guy with me here in Taxifornia!!! It still cost 74.00 with a 50 cents a gallon reduction for...

I’m on the fence trying to decide if I should keep them or just remove them. I removed them from my 2005 F150 and was happy but I’m having a hard time with this one. I’m kinda afraid I will lose the HP gains from my tailgate damper upgrade…

Ok my Ranger really sucks for a few reasons.. 1. I have people asking how I like it. 2. The engine needs to be detuned so I won’t be tempted eat Tacos alive.. 3. The B&O sound system sucks because everyone outside can’t hear what I hear even though it rattles my mirrors. 4. The heated seats…...

There I was minding my own business when a brand new Tacoma TRD 4x4 pulled up next to me at a stoplight. A 30ish year old guy points at my truck, laughs then shrugged his shoulders… I started off normally but he seemed to floor so what the hey, I floored kept next him then my truck shifted are...

Ok a disclaimer, my father was a Ford mechanic for his lifetime and my brother too. That said I’ve owned different brands of vehicles but I keep coming back to Ford.. I find each brand has a different “feel” to them from driving, seating, visibility etc… I like Cadillac V series sedans but I’m...

Has anyone done a real life comparison yet? We just ordered my wife a Maverick Lariat hybrid loaded with upgrades. Gave a December estimate on delivery. Curious about seating entrance and exit height mainly. She almost pulled the trigger on orange color but she went with blue saying orange...
