I’ve heard numerous automotive engineers stating the recommended intervals are for warranty and a minimum. They all state if you want it to last change oil more frequently. In fact, at one dealership I worked at I seen a customer get a new engine despite being out of warranty simply because they did just that, changed their oil more often than recommended. I have a Maverick too and change oil every 4k, starting at 1k with full synthetic Pennzoil Platinum.

Let us know when your truck stops beading water with that 5 year Ceramic coating. I had the same thing done to my Wifes CX30 (5 years ceramic) and it stopped beading after 1 year. I am thinking 5 year is BS
@themaverickhntr12 күн бұрын
The longevity of a ceramic coating has a ton to do with how well you maintain it. You can't just coat a vehicle and think of it as a magic bullet. You have to do regulsr maintenance washes and then applying a quality detail spray after washing hrlps a lot. I can say that my truck still beads water as well as the day it was coated. When it doesn't bead as well I know it's time for a wash and then the beading comes back instantly.

Looks great but looks like you got 2 inches of lift on front but with the bigger tires it should have been 3 inch right? 2 inches from the lift and 1 inch from the bigger tires. So do those springs really only lift the truck 1” in front? Also any issues with your CV Axles since lifting?

FOED techs are ignorant, the quality of the oil is important new synthetic oils can be in the engine for over two years and 10,000 miles, so changing oil more frequently just make oil companies richer there is zero data supporting 5000 mile oil changes are beneficial and the actually might be worse for your car

I have a question. I decided to buy eibach springs after i saw your video and had them installed. Im having an issue though. After the install, i noticed i pretty much lost all of my downward travel in my shock. Going over a speed bump at 20-25mph, i hear a loud bang when the suspension is coming downward. I can only assume that the noise im hearing is the shock bottoming out. Do you have this issue? I seem to only have an inch and a half to 2 inches of downward travel after the install. How did you combat this if you did not also replace the strut with a longer shock?
@themaverickhntr2 ай бұрын
If you drive quickly over an open space like a big pothole or a speed bump where your tire is going to momentarily come off the ground you'll hear this sound. I don't think it's a strut issue. I think it's the springs rapidly expanding due to the fact the tire has left the ground allowing the spring to decompress because the weight of the truck just came off it. I have found I can eliminate the issue 90-plus percent of the time by just slowing down and not being hard on the accelerator over such obstacles. It's much worse if you are actively accelerating when it happens. Although the sound is annoying I don't believe it's causing any actual problems.

The regular version is cheaper and lighter. I wouldn't mind the lighter weight because 300 pounds for the Overland is a bit of effort to get on and off my cargo rack. But I like the aluminum shell for long term durability. Hard to say since I've never seen the regular version but honestly the regular one is probably sufficient unless you are out there constantly.
