Maverick Upgrades - Bed Extender - Digital HVAC Knobs - Engine Cover

[@JWimpy]

I'm glad you got the digital readout working. I'm the same way. I have spent quite a bit on the little details. Life is short, enjoy it while you're here

[@RedneckGarage]

Thanks Johnny !!!

[@stevebratten6592]

Impressive work! Engine vanity cover is a nice touch.

[@knewsome69]

New Maverick owner, here. Thanks for your knowledge!

[@billlangdon9198]

I don't see you ever getting bored. Thanks for another informative video.

[@RedneckGarage]

OK not bored then ..... LOL Thanks Bill

[@Teh-Jones]

My wife walked in the room, interrupted the video, and asked why I was watching a video on foreskin... I had to spend 5 minutes explaining what you were doing... Time to put a warning on this video for married folk, lol...

[@RedneckGarage]

Hahaha ForScan

[@Showa50]

No price too high for a man's happiness. 🤜

[@RedneckGarage]

100% LOL

As a former Ford parts guy, that “scrap if dropped” is real. I used to get modules, rebuilt, that got tossed by UPS or FedEx…customer would finally get the car in, you’d pull the dash apart, install the new module and it fails right off the bat. Could take 6-8 weeks for a new one according to the catalog. Oh-and those part numbers on the actual part? Not real. Ford part numbers for electronics are so weird. You’ll have an engineering number and a part number and sometimes they get superseded multiple times. It was a pain in the ass to try figuring out modules sometimes. Especially if the catalog didn’t note a supersession.

[@jerrygreene7139]

Thanks for the video. I really like the engine cover mod. I have the 2.0 engine. Do you have any idea on if a similar cover is available for that one?

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Cool beans!!! My Maverick Lariat shipped with the digital HVAC control. Too bad yours didn't, but I think the cost of that upgrade is worth it. It makes you happy. I like the engine cover. So much so that I just placed my order for the required parts. Only I will know it is there, but as you say, it makes me happy. Edit update: my order was cancelled because one or all of the engine cover parts are no longer available. Bummer.

[@RedneckGarage]

I would keep looking around - dont think those parts are discontinued

[@officialdr.x]

I just realized you mentioned fairway ford. Not sure if its the same one but I ordered my maverick from fairway ford in Burgaw North Carolina. Mine should be here in november and im super excited for it.

[@RedneckGarage]

Think it is the same dealership network

[@supercoupe6288]

Dave ur absolutely awesome i learn so much from u keep up the good work & get ur wife n some more videos she's super cool God Bless u & ur Family

[@RedneckGarage]

Thanks Coupe !! 👍

[@tommyis13]

It is absolutely worth the price if it makes you happier with the truck.

[@ronsmith1397]

You can see the temp on the dashboard above the speedometer

[@dancooke6515]

Love the engine cover. Unclear on how you added the extra studs? Did you drill, where holes already there?

[@RedneckGarage]

The holes are already there :)

[@reycardenas8092]

Lol I'm happy for you :) Can't wait for the forscan video Thanks

[@kingster1989]

The part number on the back of the HVAC module is called the engineering number, I use that number to cross over to the service part number

[@danhambrick6331]

I thought that looked like a Florida sun tan...😂😂👍👍

[@RedneckGarage]

and 5 more LBs from vacation eating ..... hahahahaha

[@bigrichc8265]

Nice video and I didn't know about Ford scan pretty well informative video

[@RedneckGarage]

Thank you Rich !!!!

[@jediparker]

I need to find a guy like you for my Nissan frontier. There are so many things I'd like to adjust and change, but have no idea how to do it

[@steelgardner4417]

What tonneau cover did you get? I like that sliding style!

[@smokeyj3983]

It's best if you install the tailgate dampener upside down so that dirt and grime doesn't fall into it. Your truck is beautiful by the way.

[@RedneckGarage]

Thanks for the tip

[@wardperozuk2288]

Oh, the first world problems! Lol I used forscan on my ‘20 f-150 and it is a fairly powerful FREE program! But don’t forget to print or store the factory settings!! Cheers

[@RedneckGarage]

I know right ! I was pretty surprised ant the functionality of Forscan myself

[@GonzoTwi]

Hey, great video! when using the forscan system is there a way to add a front camera to the existing front console system?

[@RedneckGarage]

hmm have to research that one lol

[@chuckkb8yit859]

Dave, Keep makin great videos !!!!!!!!!!

[@RedneckGarage]

Thanks Chuck !!

[@mfrancatube]

Nice video! Can you send me please the forscan line and values for the update gauge? Thanks

[@illusioncity]

i should be getting my Mav in about a month or 2 (it's being built), but I'm disappointed to hear they aren't coming with the digital readouts.

[@RedneckGarage]

What time did you order XL XLT or lariat

[@illusioncity]

@@RedneckGarage Placed the order on Dec 17th. BTW, thanks uploading this, at least we all know now it's possible and how to do it, if we wanted to swap it out

[@illusioncity]

@@RedneckGarage btw, did adding the engine cover dampen the engine noise in the cab?

[@RedneckGarage]

@@illusioncity Dont think it did much but make it look nicer LOL

[@ncironhorse8367]

They pulled the same crap on my Lincoln Corsair. The website advertise the digital readout in the control module but, when I got my vehicle, it did the same thing by displaying it on the screen. Bad bad on Ford pulling such bait and switch.

[@Lou-yb4fb]

How’s the Digital read out swap going? Everything working ok still? I just pulled the trigger on trying a used one. I work at an auto repair facility that has the Ford FRDS and IDS so I’m hoping if the As-built needs changing I can do so with it. You mentioned forscan, is that used with an android or laptop?

[@danielhvidding5002]

Before I pull the trigger on buying a HVAC control module is there anyway you can provide the forscan line and values you used or can it be done by saving my own as built data?

[@wes89]

Yeah the excuse is chips. Well stop putting chips in everything!! I think we could figure out most of these issues.

[@dancooke6515]

Where did you find that engine cover? I have looked everywhere.

[@RedneckGarage]

I think Ebay

[@Torahobservantisrael]

Any update on a forscan video how do you get it and cost?

[@faceup5]

I agree with you that the truck should come as advertised but I'm wondering if maybe they changed it for safety concerns to limit the driver taking eyes off the road and looking down to adjust while driving (just a possibility I thought of). Mine is also lacking the readout on the dials but I personally like seeing it on the touchscreen. This is my first vehicle with a touchscreen and, so far, I'm really liking it. Thanks for sharing your upgrades and ideas through your videos. Keep them coming, sir!

[@peekaypee1]

Hey Dave. Paul here in San Diego. I got Maverick Lariat back in March. And I really like it and mine had the temperature gauges. But, I enjoyed watching and learning yours.. Do you have a tutorial on how to use it and the set the settings? I've really never heard of it until I got the Maverick and started reading about people putting cruise control on their XL variant, and another hack, if you change something with forescan, you can double click a certain button on your remote on the Lariat and all your windows will roll down. So anyway, would love to learn how to do it but really don't know much and hope and I can learn from you since I got a little teaser from this last video. Keep up the great work my friend. I enjoyed it

[@RedneckGarage]

Ill work on that one - Thanks Paul !!

[@peekaypee1]

@@RedneckGarage Thanks Dave. By the way, I'm considering getting the same engine cover and liked the info you provided. Really helpful. Question? Does it also help suppress engine noise? Thanks again for all you do👍🏽

[@RedneckGarage]

@@peekaypee1 Possibly a little but I dont think its that noticeable truthfully.

[@MrTomConcolino]

Cannot order engine cover. Even tried a supplier in Australia.

[@RedneckGarage]

Wow thats crazy - possibly they will have more produced later .....

[@refinedautodesigns]

Fairway Ford in Greenville SC?

[@noahingle5495]

What bed cover is that? And when might a video on Forscan be available?

[@jimrusch22]

You have to believe that some book smart Kellogg MBA had to 80/20 the digital dial thinking that the average consumer wouldn’t notice.

[@floridadawg9857]

Ford did the same thing on A/C controls knobs on 21-22 model of the F150 Platinum. I guess they saved a couple bucks on a $80,000 truck. SMDH..........

[@RedneckGarage]

Jeeez thats even MORE sad LOL

[@timothykelley5662]

WHAT ARE THE PART NUMBERS AND QUANTITES OF THE HARDWARE TO SECURE THE ENGINE COVER?

[@RedneckGarage]

should be in the description sir

[@mattfricke]

Can you share the values you put in forscan that worked? I ordered a 2023 Maverick Lariat Lux Hybrid and I’m assuming if I order this part I can install it and it should work if I have the right forscan values. Is this something you can share?

[@RedneckGarage]

Just email me @ [e-mail] and I'll be happy to give it to you

[@mattfricke]

@@RedneckGarage Done. Thank you!

[@mattscheurman1616]

@@RedneckGarage sent as well. Thank you!

[@joeneonturbo]

I have yet to get my lariat lux (8+ months) and I’m peeved they already downgraded the ac system

[@RedneckGarage]

yup sad eh ?

[@RrG-l4h]

What bed cover is that?

[@enderguardian1540]

Is it quieter with the cover on the motor?

[@ralphcarotenuto]

What kind of retractable tonneau did you purchase for your truck?

[@monti409]

I purchased my MAV four months ago payed way over MSRP, then after I registered my unit online I learn that my dealer is not a participant of Ford rewards program!? Therefore I do not have access to my points. That’s not nice.

[@sjmucollari]

Is there a hood liner available that fits this?

[@RedneckGarage]

probably ;)

[@rdubs1705]

You can get sound deaden material that can be cut to size to line the hood. I intend to do that when my Maverick shows up someday. From what I've seen that material can handle 250 degrees F no problem

[@jmtjlt]

Would this work to add dual zone climate control to an XLT with the lux Package?

[@RedneckGarage]

no because there isnt the blend air doors to support that nor the add. electronics.

[@dalereppel8083]

What did you change in forscan

[@RedneckGarage]

the settings for the climate control module

[@dennispadiernos]

​@RedneckGarage do you happen to have those specific changes? I think I need to set my value to match but I don't have a maverick that had the led display to pull the values from. 😢

[@Torahobservantisrael]

Do you have a wireless CarPlay/android auto dongle if so what brand and was it difficult to set up

[@RedneckGarage]

I have a Motorola MA1 and it was super easy to set up

[@photo_n_art]

$350 and a little play with the ForeSkin and happy camper again 🤣🤣🤣😜

What are the part numbers for the engine cover?

Yes what is the part number??

I ain't skairt

[@chadleonard2009]

Foreskin 🤣🤣

[@jimrusch22]

$350 for the digital temp control! Thieves!!

[@outintheshed2691]

lol...it sounds like you're saying "foreskin" when you say Ford Scan...childish I know...

[@RedneckGarage]

Good thing I didnt say circumcised hahaha - its actually spelled FORScan so I guess it does sound similar :)

[@Ruslan.88266]

The engine cover looks good, but provides a perfect nesting place for rodents leaving you with chewed wires and a large bill for repairs.
