I forget, when is Dad’s Garage open??? Thanks for the video!

[@yoyomama78]

This one is easy also. Thanks for taking this video. I'm going to try it soon at home on the ramps 🙂

[@nolegator8745]

Right on!

[@smittysbuilds]

They made it easy, I know some ptu like on police ford explorers the fill plug is in a gnarly place.

[@nate2490]

Most don't even have a real fill plug. All the ones in our fleet just have the sensor port under the heat shield. I just measure and push new fluid in through the drain and quickly plug it now.

[@MarkGreutman]

I actually drilled and tapped a drain plug on the ptu in my explorer.

[@jay.0621]

thanks for sharing the vid. have u done the transmission yet?

[@cwqrpportable]

Thanks for sharing. You missed a perfect opportunity to check the fluid level with your finger or an allen key prior to draining. If so, what about comparing the quantity you drained out vs what it took to fill it to the proper level. This is a good reminder to other Maverick owners…..

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Yes I did miss that opportunity. Thanks for the tip!

[@Der8cho]

Good video. I just did this in my '22 AWD Maverick. Waiting for the transmission fluid change when I get to 30k miles. What transmission fluid will you use? Mercon ULV? I see valvoline has a ULV that has more detergents.

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Thanks for watching the video. I’m also getting ready to publish the Transmission Service video soon. I’m nearing 30 k also. I decided to go with the OEM Mercon ULV.

[@ourv9603]

Industry practice is to change ALL vehicle gear box lubes @ 30K. Transmission-Differential-Transfer case-PTU ect. !

[@scooter12368]

Is the lift on pinch weld? Looks like inside of it on the square metal section. Can't tell. I wanted to lift on that section of metal also, and did. But people on forum said don't lift there do as manual says. What are your thoughts?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Hi Scooter. Thanks for reaching out. I’m using the reinforcement areas where the OEM jack would lift. I’m not aware of any issues.

[@Kevin-pj7rl]

Hello are you still going to do your transmission fluid change as you mentioned doing a video when the ptu and differential were done and that was 4 months ago. I do not see a transmission fluid change video. Thank you.

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Yes very soon. I’m currently at 28k miles and almost ready to complete the transmission fluid change. I’ve just been very busy. Thanks for your message!

[@Kevin-pj7rl]

@dadsgarage.alwaysopen Thanks for the reply. I really liked your videos on the PTU and rear differential and getting ready to do both of those maybe a little early as I have about 12K miles but oil and my time is cheap. Heck I'm on my third oil change when I get it done here at 12K and figured while I have that big pan off its time to tackle the front PTU. Certainly not hard based on your videos. Again thank you.....

[@Kevin-pj7rl]

​@dadsgarage.alwaysopen Did you ever do your maverick trans service yet? I haven't seen a video from you.

[@BoostedMaverick]

@@dadsgarage.alwaysopen I hope you’re doing well and love your videos, please post your Transmission fluid change video I’m getting close to doing mine

[@Kevin-pj7rl]

Hello couple of us asking when your doing the trans service??

[@IamChucky_]

I’m guessing this works on the Bronco sport as well correct?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

I’ve never worked on a Bronco so I can’t answer that. If I ever come across one I will surely post something about it. Good luck and congratulations on owning a Bronco!

[@IamChucky_]

@@dadsgarage.alwaysopen I’m talking about the bronco sport not the regular bronco. It’s built on the same frame as the maverick and escape

[@robertcunningham9626]

how did you decide on 20K?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

It’s best to replace fluids early on as it contains the most wear contaminants. I plant to stick with the 30k changes moving forward.

[@scooter12368]

was this a hybrid

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Hi Scooter. My Mav is not the hybrid. It’s the 2.0 turbo FX4 model.
