found some pictures of my Dark Horse at the autocross events i've been going to. thanks to Jason J on the AZSolo forums for these
11/5/23 - my 3rd autocross event
10/15/23 - my 1st autocross event
my wishlist
1. untie magneride and steering mode from the base custom drive mode
2. add a "2015-2023 S550" theme to the gauge cluster, basically the analogue gauges from the S550
3. add more colors to MyColor
4. allow that seat belt warning when an occupied seat is unbuckled to be dismissed

i was looking through the workshop manual to see how Ford says to remove the exhaust manifolds and i'm really confused why the driver's side manifold looks like this???
also Ford says to basically pick up the engine to do exhaust manifolds
if you have Blue Ember, you also have a special version of the hood decals. be sure you want to remove them, as ordering replacement decals is nearly $1600 before parts department markup and labor for installation. i can't find how many hours Ford says installing the decals will pay, but i'm...
yeah, they changed that for the DH, it's one set of bolts that are always in the wing.
the bolts only come with the gurney flap and all together cost an outrageous $1161.83 retail
if you take this to the dealer, it will be a warranty fix. under GSB 22-7003, warranty paint items would be:
dirt/debris in the paint
peeling due to adhesion defect
runny/thin paint
excessive orange peel
air bubbles popping in the paint
paint color variations
environmental fallout
corrosion with...
believe the meter over the DTE, something must have completely ravaged your fuel economy and you somehow got less than 0.1MPG. the estimate will return to normal eventually
totally fair, can't go wrong with some insurance. about what actually changed, i don't know what did change (and i'm really not willing to pay ~$160 for 2 brand new oil pumps to disassemble them), but the pickup is the same. the engine block is also new, but the crank is from the gen 3 on the...
i'll just say this: Ford + Whipple's supercharger kit that is coming out does not come with oil pump gears, but Ford says there's a 3 year/36000 mile warranty, and that kit makes at least 800hp and bumps up the redline 300rpm
EcoBoost version does not have a piece for under the wing. yes, the "front bumper" one is the little piece that extends from the hood. that is going to look killer when it's complete, be sure to share some pictures!
it's worth noting that the EcoBoost stripes have the accent colors end sooner, near the windshield. anyways, here are those parts

i would not worry unless you're going to be bouncing off the rev limiter a ton; and even then they updated something about them so they may be stronger. the GT350 with it's 8250RPM redline had the same oil pump gear as the 2015-2017 gen 2 and 2018-2023 gen 3 coyote engines
yeah, not sure why they're saying that. however, i can only promise that fits on a Dark Horse, as GT suspension could be (but probably isnt) different
here's a comparison of your setup vs mine, assuming you will have 275/30R19 front tires, and 315/30R19 rear tires, the widest that can fit on...
i actually made a mistake in my post and have corrected it. backspacing is how far the back of the wheel is from the mounting surface, calculated as half of the wheel's width plus the offset. yes, the backspacing of a 8.5" wide wheel with +43mm offset would be 6.44". here's a helpful backspacing...
