  1. Fire Extinguisher installation location

    I have 2 in my Raptor. One front seat bracket mount, which is completely unobtrusive. 2nd is an Element in one of the seat pockets. I -almost- got to use the seat mounted one to put out a range fire, but another guy got to a skid steer almost as quickly as I got there and the R/O held me...
  2. Is the in car oil monitor accurate?

    What I understand from several of the techs I’ve interacted with concerning the Raptor ecoboost is that statistically, the engines with early failures all tended to use the oil life monitor or the ā€˜non severe use’ maintenance schedule, which is a 10,000 mile interval. Ditto the 9.75ā€ rear...
  3. 2024 Dark Horse Handling Package - Tire Change

    Many thanks! I can say that by the time my Trofeos were slipping and sliding, at no point would they hold pebbles, rocks, etc. I did get caught in the rain before the 2k mark and just kept my inputs smooth and since it was Texas, the rain was gone in about 5 minutes :-/ based on what you...
  4. Battery Status of Charge

    I understood the issue, my point is that if you are, say for example blissfully ignorant of the current charge state because you’ve never had a problem, and you rock several short trips over the course of weeks then you were to say go on a longer trip, but not long enough to fully charge and...
  5. Battery Status of Charge

    So, if the car is requiring a charger at less than 1.5 years old, there’s a problem and the problem is not needing a maintenance charger. There’s a parasitic drain somewhere and it needs to be found or you’re going to end up stranded somewhere needing a jump. My MDH gets driven a few times a...
  6. 2024 Dark Horse Handling Package - Tire Change

    Holy F***. What is your definition of ā€œonce they’re warmed upā€? I ask because I couldn’t go hard at all on my Trofeos once I hit about 2500 miles on the tires. For context, I bought in July, in Texas. The ride home was over 100F and the tires went through summer to late September ( so still...
  7. IZ Metal paint

    No doubt it’s beautiful but I can’t imagine cleaning a car more than driving it.
  8. 2024 Dark Horse Handling Package - Tire Change

    I don’t know how you have over 6k miles on Trofeos and haven’t ended up on YouTube I guarantee you that they have been heat cycled far beyond optimum and the stick will be worse than narrow, hard compound snow tires. Look, the Trofeos are really sticky For about 3k km But after that, you...
  9. First time ever on a track

    It’s addictive, AMIRITE? I suggest start setting aside money now for consumables; fluids, tires, brakes etc. I had a 25 year hiatus between my last track day and track attack. Been riding sport bikes the whole time. I did credibly well at track attack. Do the 2 day option. You’ll thank me.
  10. Re-learning TPMS after changing tire position

    THIS is why, like Jeremy Clarkson, AI is most often wrong. AI uses the internet as a source of information. Your search only turns up what the interface WANTS you to see, not necessarily scholarly screeds related to the question you asked. The programming decides what to present.
  11. All Season tires for a Dark Horse with Handling Package

    Patiently waiting for @robvas to point out the PS4S are not racing/track tires ….
  12. Just learning

    Clarkson was right about exactly one thing: The Toyota prius has no redeeming qualities.
  13. Re-learning TPMS after changing tire position

    I’m not sure if you are asking preemptively, or if you have had a problem; I carry 2x spares in the rear of my Raptor, both with TPMS sensors. Usually the 4 rotating tires register with just simple driving- or rotating several times. But, when I bring the bed tires into the rotation, THEY...
  14. Best Track Tires?

    No shĆ­t, what’s your point? OP asked for a more economical option, and they are quite capable for a street tire ; one can literally drive to the track, run a weekend on track, and drive home. This and the Trofeos at least need to be mentioned here. The former would be more economical than the...
  15. There is a governor!

    I’ve been out ofthat world for a minute but that’s a solid use for the feature. I got lit up on Fort Meade years ago for ā€˜driving with aux lights on’. I was dubious, sat there for a bit, 2nd time he came back fishing I politely asked for the stop rationale and when he said it I asked for the...
  16. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Has your AI programming been updated with human like responses yet? :giggle:
  17. Ended up with a Dark horse

    Starter marriage of 30 years, 2 months plus some time living in sin and still goin strong. She has never compelled or tried to coerce me into any kind of major purchase or tried to sack a purchase I made. She did, wrongly, extend a lease on a Tercel without telling me when we first got...
  18. Mode Selection on Steering Wheel

    Correct. If you are going to these lengths you are better served by going with external combustion
  19. Ended up with a Dark horse

    For giving your spouse a veto your spouse is only permitted to ENABLE a vehicle purchase
