Once that MAF is not sensing air flow, the engine dies. But its definitely coming from that air intake plumbing. Engine rpms go up after the sound as the steering wheel is turned enough to build pressure for power steering.
I was thinking could it do with the power steering when initially engaged the engine management sucks in more air to prevent RPM drop? Maybe I'm not explaining it correctly. Its only when the steering wheel is moved enough, L or R, that the power steering would be called in.
I'm taking it in tomorrow to get some stuff done to it on the hoist (fuel filter, parking brake, rear axle seal). We can do the same thing on the hoist and see what happens, but its definitely a hollow drum sound, not a clunk. Nothing wrong with the steering when driving.
Long story short is that when in park with engine running, rocking the steering wheel a few inches left and right of centre produces this sound. You can go from centre to the left and back again several times it will still do it. Centre to right and back several times, same results.
We took...
That's a nice comparison. At least our "old" Rangers are RWD for hauling. FWD Maverick will payload how much before lifting the front wheels off the ground?
The current "mid sized" trucks are as large as I'd want to go. I don't think the Maverick bed will be big enough. Which will mean less payload.
Remember this? This Maverick would need to have some clever ideas.
My brother's 1991 Chevy Sprint 1.0 L did really well. Great on fuel and zippy enough around town with the manual. Never burned oil either. He traded up for a Honda Civic CRX.....a Sprint on Steroids.
Definitely Bronco Sport platform. I hope they have a Supercab for a longer bed. No doubt 3 cylinder power!
And good scale in size comparison. Gonna be small.
