I drained a total of 5 quarts out of the transmission, reinstalled the drain plug with thread sealant, then added back in 2 courts of fluid with the level plug out. When fluid started coming out of the level plug to kind of flush any other junk out I poured in an additional 1/2 quart.
I then...
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to post my experience with doing a drain & refill on my LOBO, the results were a bit surprising.
I'd highly recommend changing the fluid no later than 10K to get the break-in metals out of the transmission, I've posted videos here about my PTU and RDU which both...
I would absolutely recommend level so you get all of the fluid back into the RDU & PTU. Heck, now that I think about it, jacking up the rear only would allow you to slightly overfill it which probably wouldn't hurt.
After seeing a few posts on here and on YouTube, I decided not to wait and change the RDU / PTU oil at 5,000 miles on my 2025 LOBO.
Photos and Videos below of my findings. TLDW/R = DON'T WAIT to change, or at least top-off your fluids in the PTU & RDU. For the life of me, I don't know why...
A 2018 Ford Edge SEL - We really loved it, but after 110K miles it had 2 transmissions and an engine replaced the Warranty was up and we weren't willing to roll the dice. Lucky I had a Ford Extended Warranty - Ford took care of me when things went bad without ANY pushback.
Nowadays EVERY...
I've never really thought about selling them, not really wanting to do that... but there are services that 3D print things for a fee, here's the file I created so you can upload it to them. :)
The Wheel Well Fillers and leaf boxes I 3D printed myself using my Bamboo Labs A1, I think that MABETT on Amazon has them though. Here's a link to his store (Not an affiliate link)...
Thanks!
Have you thought about installing a small resonator? I've heard the Borla units (Ford Performance) are nice and mellow with a deep tone.
I'm waiting to install any performance mods myself until they have the 2025 and up ECU's figured out, then I might do a Corsair Turbo upgrade...
Hello everyone!
My name is Troy and I just wanted to introduce myself, I purchased my LOBO in November 2025 and it is a LOBO Low. I've done some of the necessary mods like the 3D printed Rear wheel well inserts, Leaf baskets, tailgate wire inserts and stuff like that. I've painted the...
I think it should have ben called the Courier, I mean... I think Ford missed the boat on the naming of this truck. The Maverick (As much as I love my Lobo) was a car and should have stayed that way IMO.
