OEMs use specific fuel when testing. My experience really comes from emissions testing with Ford so I carry that thought process over to HP ratings. They don’t get their fuel from a local pump. The fuel is ordered to the specs they determine. Octane / Cetane / Ethanol or no ethanol / etc….
It's not a 2003.25 6.0L. So I'm not complaining. I lived that life like no other. 120+ running changes on the engine alone to 2004 and even more to 2005.
I had this happen two weeks ago on a rental vert in Atlanta. It was the first morning I drove the car. Chalked it up to a glitch. Drove to my place of work with it blank. I used Google maps to monitor my speed :rockon:, went to leave around 4pm and it booted up and was working just fine...
If you're that far North where cold weather is an issue (-22F or -30C) , then why wouldn't you opt for 0W30? The 5W20 just creates a thinner viscosity at temp. This could give you issues such as poor fuel economy, premature engine wear, and overheating issues if you run your car hard. It just...
Didn’t know they dropped it for 2025. As a 2024 owner that is a good thing. The aftermarket will pounce a little harder and faster on the opportunity. Maybe they will also sell a retro fit kit for the poor performing existing setup.
On the OP post, , try it without a case for a day or so. I...
I installed this one. Looks great, easy to do.
Come back to find it hanging / dangling off of my car at the airport parking garage here in Houston one week. I’m not 100% sure if it was someone messing with it or it gave out on me. I assume it was someone messing with it because the adhesive...
You had me till you said you used BG. After working for Ford as a diesel rep and at a dealer as a parts manager their products are just for making gross. Inexpensive products some for a premium plus service to unknowing owners. Brake flushes, injector flushes, EGR cleaning, premium fuel...
That’s what a lot of people on here have done and it is probably the best method.
I had my rims sitting in the garage for 2 months before I mounted them and should have done that myself, but didn’t. I’ll probably pick a can of this up and try it in the future. Currently I applied Chemical...
I’m not familiar with MA law, but Im pretty sure what you are referring to is like the CA mandate they just pushed back. That is for class 6,7, and 8 trucks. Not F550s and down (class 5 and down)
I’ve never used this specific brake dust repellant, but you are referring to the wrong product. I have used another brand brake dust repellent and it worked but not as well as this article describes the Armor-All branded version.
I worked for Ford for quite a few years and while I was there there was a law passed around the artistry of components. Around 2014-15 I forget the exact terms, but this is why we get things that we call Easter eggs. They put copyrighted font items, logos, etc. on the car in conspicuous...
@MCS , thanks for the reply.
I’ve just started doing some performance mods. Started with exhaust. Obviously nothing ground breaking. I’m “perceiving” a different torque curve even under 50% acceleration. Just has my brain turning thinking about how was the car driven the for the 41 miles...
I’ve done a little searching around the interwebs and can’t find what I am looking for. Curious if there is a benefit when adding performance mods to the car such as exhaust, whipple, etc. to clear the adaptive transmissions tables. I have FORscan and can do it, just curious if there Is a...
I have experienced the same thing. My scenario goes like this…. Cold start up in my driveway, select sport or track mode, very lightly pull out of the driveway at say 10% throttle, and the car sputters and stumbles going into 2nd, and 3rd. 1st gear seems to hang in there for ever sometimes...
No idea. Worth cleaning the engine bay I assume. Most musty smells come from a closed system getting cold then hot then cold again in cycles such as the A/C duct and condenser area. May have a dead animal or something outside in the engine bay or under that car. Check in front of the radiator...
