Several posts here have asked (complained?) about the GT's throttle response. I've driven two different GTs (auto and stick) and neither one was what I would call sluggish. So-called pedal commanders do change the ratio between pedal and throttle plate, but from a personal point of view, they...

Purely from an esthetic point of view, it would be akin to putting lipstick on a pig.

I did all sorts of mods to my Ranger including turbo, intercooler, pipes, intake, exhaust, tune, and a couple of mods to the Ford tune. That model of the 2.3L was tuned for torque, so some mods were done for that reason. My 2024 Eco-Boost Premium appears to have adequate pipes, and the...

The only other mode is a K&N air filter. This said, I have thought about adding other mods, but to be honest, the exhaust is louder than I'd like. Any add-on or replacement would be louder. I have one issue I'd like to fix, and that is the vibrations from the chassis floor pan. I've looked over...

I'm under the impression the exhaust setting stays where it is even when you start it up. If that's not the case, and it was mine, I'd start looking at a ForScan solution.

My wife used to say the same thing about my 7.4.5 Dolby Atmos set up! The only advantage I have is the volume control! And here I thought that was controlled by software switches in the Mustang?

If you’re a gear head and own a Mustang, sooner or later you’re going to interface with the Ford Performance Parts support team (https://performanceparts.ford.com/contact-us/). Their support position is not one to envy, but one we all should be thankful they exist at all. Recently, if it...

I'm looking on-line for a set of 8X11s, and sooner or later I'll find some stock Fords I like. I did find a set at a local tire store, but who ever owned them lived someplace with high curbs! funny thing about that. The store owner told me he sold the customer som 22 inch ones! Holy Bookworm...

This will probably be longer than it should be, but several important points need to be addressed. I had my local Ford dealer install the Performance Tune (FPT), following the suggestions from Ford Performance (SVT) with respect to the installation, warranty, etc. However, the exact procedure...

Well, here it is Friday, with my Eco-Boost still in the stall since 11:00 Tuesday morning, and still no FPT installed! Ford's SVT is involved, and according to the dealer late yesterday, the folks at SVT will be calling at 7 (MST), and told the SM to have a laptop, the ProCal device, and a...

Minor update. The Ford shop managed to get the program down loaded, but could not get it to load to the car. Ford's 800 tech line doesn't know the answer, and didn't get back to the tech. So now, the car just sits apparently not able to be started. So the saga goes own.

For those who can't do without a loud exhaust, should be well pleased with the humongous exhaust tips!

Well maybe? The tune on my 2019 Ranger made the truck much easier to drive. With the tune and the transmission software update made the truck into what it should have been stock. I'm hoping for at least part of that, but that remains to be seen.

I received the tune today. The local Ford dealer appointment is at 11:00 mañana. I'll report back once I get back home. My Ford contact guy told me I was lucky, as the first shipment was only 50 units to cover over 200 backorders.

I suspect it doesn't matter what you do to make a living. That is, if you save for your eventual retirement. Way too many folks—low, medium, high, and the filthy rich—never plan for the future. How many of you know folks who earn mid seven figure incomes, and have almost no savings?

My Eco-Boost is simply... 4STAIR.

Career choices are often products of necessity rather than educational ones. And considering the high cost of education (or indoctrination as some feel that it is), manual labor becomes the only recourse. All this said, applying oneself with on-the-job zeal often results in better outcomes. A...

I used mine to replace both struts and shocks on my 2019 Ranger. All but about $200 was covered. good deal at least in my case.

In my case, four hours

If you think it was the panic button, try it sitting in the car with the engine running and in gear. I've set mine off while putting my keys in my pocket, so....
