You need a ScanGaugeII or similar gauge to get an accurate reading and put Grill Covers to solve the problem. Look up the thread up on Grill Covers, it worth 2 to 4 mpg. Paul

Grill Covers solve this problem and Ideal WT is 210-220*F for the best gas mileage. Paul

Your HVB isn't going to die it will slowly lose range instead. Paul

those a the 94V which cost more. Paul

I think the 93V the original OEM tires are 51 psi and that is what I used for 273k miles getting 65-90k miles. All these questions are answered in my thread above " How to drive a Cmax Hybrid to get great gas Mileage" Paul

I traded it in for 2021 FORD Escape Plug-in. ? Paul

I was referring to CMAX Hybrid/Energy, I had 273k miles on my CMAX with no HVB problems. Paul

It is extremely rare to have to replace a HVB so I wouldn't worry about it. Paul

I was hoping someone in the CMAX forum would be interested in taking over for me making Grill Covers for those that can't make their own. It would be a shame not to have them available for New Members. Paul

I have had a number of members contact me about Grill Cover kits availability and I do some parts like a couple of Grill Cover sets, but not the Velcro fasteners. I was wondering if there was anyone that would be interested in taking over making them. I have the templates and instructions for installing them. You can PM me if interested. Paul

I don't think they are con artist, It is unfortunate your trans went out and I think you should be able to it done for under 6k if you search around. I got 174k mi out of my second trans before I traded it in. Paul

I went 273k mi. with out changing the brakes and they were fine when I traded in the car. ? Paul

Welcome and you can go to my thread " Good Luck? Paul

I went 175k miles on my second trans and was still running on a 2013 CMAX, first one lasted 98k. Paul
