A lot of truth there. I will add that ideally, things will improve over time, but not always. Sometimes things get worse, and they throw patch after patch until they have time to redesign. Devs working on sync4 are almost certainly working on the next version. They’re not just sitting...

this kit: https://www.automotiveauthorityllc....-2015-2017-ford-mustang-gt-with-brembo-brakes is on its way to my place. For the Dark Horse, they provide a 1/4” spacer for extra brake clearance and open lug nuts.

100% possible. Years ago, a guy flew out to pick up a brand new Raptor and road trip it back home. They stopped just off I10 in San Antonio. He unpacked into his hotel, and it turns out his wife left her bag in the truck with the spare key. The truck was gone inside of 15 seconds. The...

Next time, take a picture with cell, then video when you start the car. BONUS points if you have FORSCAN, and connect it to pull the codes. There are transient codes, but if you see the CEL, it’s almost certain a DTC was set. That does not sound at all right. Instead, it sounds like the...

I think it fits aesthetically well on your MDH Storm Trooper edition. I think that would go well on black as well, I’d be less confident in saying that on other colors without actually trying it.

Trofeos or something with some actual tread life? If it’s the Trofeos and you have 4k miles on them, they’re probably done. Even if they have tread left, they’re still probably done. Heat cycling kills tires dead. I’ve worn tires to various points of having lots of usable tread, but...

I will cop to -2F I was a bunch younger, and had a bike and my MGT with sticky, low profile tires. I came out, started up from taking the wife to dinner to a howling gale of wind with -2F temps. That sucked. I got in the car and it was like being in a refrigerator. Heat to forever to get...

I don’t live there anymore, but, I have a friend who retired from Ted Britt. IIRC, the Fairfax location is the largest service department in NoVA. It’s 2 shifts, and, they do have good techs there.

No, it’s possessed! You need an old priest and a young priest:

Damn, sorry this happened. Believe me, I feel that financial pain. I hope you’re back on the road ASAP If nothing else, thank you for posting and the reminder ... Reminder received, order placed! I have had... 2 car blowouts; also had a dump truck suffer a front blow out right next to me...

There’s a lot of truth right there. How many times has one of your vendors suffered a data breach? I’m at 9 or 10 right now. It’s only a matter of time until someone finds a way to encrypt a car over the air and ransom access to it. It’s not just access; Once my ’17 Raptor is broken into...

There are 2 questions here; can you run 87 should you run 87 if you’re in a pinch and nothing else is available, sure 87 will get you home or to the next fill station. But no, you should not auto-x, open track, drag race or otherwise cane the car until you’re back to 91/93 The EcoBoost power...

well, as a daily, I think the GT is going to be easier to live with. I have a close by neighbor who has the c8 ‘vette, and I just got the Dark Horse. if you are ever going to need to transport anything, the Corvette will be a difficult partner. if you’ve got 10k for mods, by the Ford blower...

Next time this happens, get a video of it. Since the problem is intermittent, as you can imagine, techs will not be excited about fixing this - neither would I. Every bit of evidence you can provide would help. In addition to the video, if you can, download / install FORSCAN. Check for...

I do the build a bigger garage trick.

I didn’t think it sounded horrible to begin with first of all. I used my phone to play my base evaluation songs for me and it actually did pretty well for a stock system. I’m sure that my sub replacement and wrapping of the enclosure has improved the range represented and provided some...

That’s a fair point, I should have elaborated. You will get better frequency response and the quality of the sound should be better with almost any aftermarket brand. But my point is that there is a lot of rationalization going on proclaiming the mere act of replacing the sub completely...

All swapping the sub does is prepare you for adding an amp to the sub, it makes zero db difference in the cabin. none. Nada. zip. It’s a good first step, but without an amp, it’s going to sound the same or largely the same as there could be different ranges of sound represented, if you’re...

knock on wood... My 2017 Raptor still on the OEM battery 7 years on. I have it tested at service regularly at this point. It took my ’01 Lightning battery a tick over 8 years to crank slowly. The 2nd time it was really slow, but fired up; I diverted to pickup a new one. Bad ones happen...

What’s your actual use case? Not what you tell internet randos, actually how you intend to use it?
