Cylinder deactivation does not have a defeat switch. You can tune it out via aftermarket tune. He's talking about auto stop/start.

You're talking about auto stop/start. I know all of that. I disabled my it on my wife's Escape with Forscan. I'm talking about cylinder deactivation - where fuel and spark is cut to specific cylinders while the rest keep firing...

'Straya, that's how

I don't wanna say I called it, but I called it. It was pretty clear the camo car they've used since the "reveal" was just an S550.

Lmao, that's hilarious. We need the video Jem, the video.

It would do it, but no where near as easy as a new intake. Increasing displacement brings with it a ton of additional required validation.

That's a Mach E, dawg.

So many questions, TT, so many.

I think it's probably true as it's the easiest way to get the coyote closer to 500hp.

Yes, someone please explain lol. This is either 1. distortion caused by the camo giving the impression of tribars;2 totally different headlights from the leaks.

Ah yes, intake duels, very exciting.

I would assume it would be limited to the autos though. With that said, the F150 coyote does that because it's a big ass truck and so cylinder deactivation is the only way that thing can get halfway decent fuel economy. The Mustang's a big girl, but I don't see them resorting to cylinder...

Well said. Is it possible that driver error plays a role in MT82 failures? Yes, sure, it's possible. But is it more probable that the MT82 is straight garbage? Also yes.

No shot it was S650 without camo.

Some nice reading highlighting the initial issues with the MT82 that carried on for years. I have no idea if they've been resolved, but these past issues are enough for me to avoid the trans altogether. https://theweeklydriver.com/2022/05/the-ford-mt82-transmission-recall/

I've never owned a car with an MT-82. Two guys in my track group up in Limerock did grenade theirs though. One was boosted 2015, another was a stock 2017.

If those rumors are accurate, then the rumors of a dual air intake are probably also accurate. Unless they increased displacement, only way you're going to get more power is with more air, fuel, or compression. Since I don't see them upping the compression, more air and fuel is the next logical...
