Looking at the photos again... Why are the exhaust tips shaped like they are? Maybe the Eco-Boost is a 1.5L, 3 cylinder?

I agree with Upacurb. Even consecutive runs result in different outputs even if the ambient is the same. Supposedly, the most accurate ones use an electro-mechanical brake and a calibrated linearized load cell. Unfortunately, these are limited in speed and power. A specific issue arrises with...

This issue (heat exchange) is a very complex one. We buy these 'tubes' to increase airflow especially at high flow rates. The question remains... "Do they?" We assume less turbulence in the plenum due in part to the smoother surface, but surface (smoothness) alone doesn't directly relate to...

I'd almost bet the reason for the lack of wireless charging is based on supply issues as they're no doubt made China. I don't know how many sub-assemblies for US sold vehicles come from China, but I'd bet it is a rather high percentage. As well all know, automotive bean counters are notorious...

You did the correct thing. I've only heard of this, but I'm not surprised.

It means you haven't pushed the Red stop button before getting out. And, if you try to lock the car with the Red button not pushed, you can't lock the door as well.

The index isn't the issue. Rather it is the search engine. As an example, let's assume you want to know about setting the heated seat temperature, and you type in seat heat. The result is seat height. Type in heat seat gets you heat shields. If the search engine was powered by Google, either...

With local (SW Mew Mexico) labor costs ranging from $185 to $290 per hour, I'm not surprised. Fact is, a local Ford Dealer oil change (Oil, filter, shop costs, and labor) is now over $120! And I though grocery prices were high?!

You used to be able to buy reaper manuals too, but not now! You can lease a repair manual for some brands and models, but the average cost per month is prohibitive. I suspect some of the cost is nothing more than extra profit for the manufacturer and the dealer.

This has only happened once to me, and I didn't know what it was. The Owner's Manual solved the issue, but also made me keep it turned on.

The unfortunate part... Everyone who drives a Mustang just had their insurance premium increase.

Everyone whose Mustang is equipped with the 10R80, all have no lift shifting. So what's the big deal?

As my departed brother always said... "It is like a dose of ExLax... It always comes out at the end!"

It is all chain. Only the 2.7 V6, and a couple of the 3 cylinders have oil belts. I suspect that'll change very soon. Seems like other brands of DGI engines are getting dual injectors too due in part to the clogged up valves routine.

That looks like the Dyno plug which is located atop the left inner fender. All it does is jumper a few wires together. Remove it, and several sub systems stop working (tractions, control, stability control, etc.).

I wonder how much longer V8 engines will be available in any passenger vehicle, including light trucks? One sign is Toyota's switch to a twin turbo V6 in their various models. Yes, they've certainly had their share of issues with it, but Toyota is a persevering company and will soon get things...

Opinion: Recaro seats garner a lot of rave reviews for their supportive nature and adjustability. But as a daily driver seat? They stink! I once owned a Mercury XR7 with Litton seats, which were 16 way adjustable. Great for the long haul (that was what I was doing at the time), but as a daily...

You might want to drink some 7-11 coffee as you put on those pin stripes. I also hear that installing the stripes like a zoot suit also helps.

Funny thing how stripes increase traction too. Must be caused by Aliens!

Well, it was on public property, which is controlled by the city/county/state, etc. So do what any law-abiding citizen should do... Sure the S--- out of them for not properly trimming their trees!
