on the older systems, it still used an IPMB even if you just had a front and rear camera only. on the newer systems, the IPMA is identical to one that has the 360 camera in that it has two 4-pin connectors instead of just one. to explain this, i need to explain how it normally works.
on a...
this is an example of the older IPMA + IPMB system
the orange "19H405" module is the IPMB, the purple "19G490B" is the IPMA. there is exactly two US market Fords that still uses this, being the Bronco and the Transit. every other one uses an IPMA with a green plug for the four surround cameras...
torque ratings get complicated because it's usually a certain torque at a specified vehicle weight, and that's the absolute max rating. for instance, Tremec rates the GT350R's config of TR-3160 to 429lb-ft@6614lbs. where it especially gets confusing is where the torque limit is for a lighter...
the fact that this is the current state of not only vehicle pricing but also dealer mark-ups is just downright depressing. being a car person was never cheap, but it just keeps going up and up. the worst part is how many dealers are involved in making sure their scams go unchecked and protected...
yes, you can add the Brembos without the drift brake. Ford even does this from factory if you order a Mustang with the Brembos but not the performance pack. if you need some help, PM me
i used to have a 2022 Mach 1 HP, but now have my 2024 Dark Horse HP. both had the 10-speed, and both were 700A. the updated interior is pretty nice, but otherwise it's identical to the Mach 1. so much so, in fact, that the 2024 MY Dark Horse is still internally referenced by Ford as a Mach 1.
i...
the 3.55 diff without the performance package is a clutch pack type limited slip diff, where too much slip will cause the clutches to lock up and move the whole diff.
the 3.55 diff with the performance package is a Torsen helical gear type limited slip diff, where if one wheel is slipping, the...
this isn't a TSB, it's a full and proper recall. also, that sounds very illegal and foolish. hopefully those dealers get caught and fined for all previous violations. but here's one more thing, we at the dealer physically cannot mark a vehicle as sold if it has a stop sale recall on it (at least...
this is a completely different thing. they have added the front parking sensors, which the current IPMA can do mostly fine. the 360 camera requires a new IPMA due to missing physical connectors on the module itself at the very least
my custom exhaust is almost ready to be done. just yesterday i managed to get a hold of a muffler from a Raptor. customer had it replaced under warranty due to the exhaust rattle TSB and it was deemed scrap. yeah, one of the valves rattles, but beggars cant be choosers, plus it came with motors...
here is the information on affected vehicles and the reason
i've managed to avoid a few recalls, but this one got me. however, i can say that even in some pretty intense rain plus a fair few trips through a car wash, i've had no issues with lighting or the BCM. it's very important to remember...
some new stuff i got to find out a while ago: the Mustang's rear view camera actually plugs into the APIM, not the screen. that answers a few of my questions. additionally, 360 camera vehicles run the connector out into the APIM too. what we would need to do is run a sort of diverter cable from...
just so you know, that limits you to 2024 and first half of 2025 model year vehicles unless you want to shell out nearly $4000 for the silver headlights. as of the second half of the 2025 model year, Ford no longer puts the silver headlights on any Mustang
just realized those brake rotors are drilled. is this going to be another GT350 scenario where a couple years later they're going to switch to solid again? it looks like it could be quite capable on the track, and from what i've heard, drilled rotors + track time = cracked rotors
if i remember...
