Screw those whose tops fall apart, were only worried about big pieces coming off and hurting other people or their property...

On empty and using 91 (which almost always is E10) you only need 4.7 gal of E85 to get to 94 octane. That's assuming your E85 is actually 78% EtOH, which again is common. I think we talked about my blending app, but it's only available for Android. octanecalc.com

Prior you said grade 9, obviously AN is not the same as grade 9. As I stated 9 and 12.9 are close enough in all specs to be interchangeable.

Good request. Especially since the very close metric equivalent 12.9 is already there.

I would say with top tier 91 there isn't really a need to bump up to 93 by blending, especially if you've heard the noise across different stations and fills. It's perfectly safe to add some E85 to increase octane. However, if you want to totally eliminate fuel/knocking and since you lived in...

Given that it includes grades and dry vs. lubed, that covers a lot of the needed bases. Another one I've seen goes farther and was (seemingly) capable of accounting for large differences in the bolt and substrate materials, say a grade 8 bolt into tapped 6061 Aluminum.

Y'all got actual competitors this time around 😉?

Is that you with MJ? If so, very cool!

You've contradicted yourself there with energy and pressure - two entirely different quantities (meanings, units, etc.). Decibel can refer to a plethora of physical quantities, not just sound & pressure. It's just a logarithmic scale, e.g. earthquake intensity. Lastly sound, when measured in...

Odd. Are you using top-tier fuel? You could try 93 if you have it, if not blend with E85 to get 93. That said, it shouldn't have any pre-ignition even with 87. My Android App "Octane and Ethanol Calculator" can get you a perfect blend at any octane you desire.

I'm not a betting man, but I'd be willing to bet quite a lot that the current gen Braptor will never get a V8, from the integration difficulty, cost and crash certification efforts alone. I'd also bet the current gen does not get a power bump.

All completely wrong... @Ducati1098 provided the correct answer.

Very nice wheels. Forged is obviously a big plus too. That said there is no (human/seat of the pants) test you can do to feel 12 lb per wheel, even with the 2X effect of lower moment of inertia in a 6500 lb rig.

I like Filson (bomb proof gear) and like the collab and the result. That said, I'm quite surprised they not only gave it the Raptors 3.0, but as per Fords official word (posted prior by @HighVelocity), are also giving it the exact same power as the Raptor (418 hp). It's my observation that...

Thanks Brian, please clarify. I assume you are talking about the non DOT Squadron lights? I'd that the same as "Pro"? Can non DOT lights be run with the main body at 0° or flipped at 180°? The impact of bezel flipping is very minimal on non DOT lights? How should the bezels be oriented for...

Accessing the upfitter wiring for front lights doesn't require any disassembly. There are just stub upfitter wires near your front drivers side firewall under the hood, ready to connect. You just make a patch wire to get to the correct switch and an extension to the new light.

Hmmm, I reread my post and think it's quite clear, but I will try again. BD makes DOT legal and off road only Squadrons (aka non DOT). Their internal optics may differ but their lenses absolutely do differ, contributing to a sharper, more factory like headlight beam pattern, i.e. more...

Odd thing. No access to my Raptor now and just don't recall how my gate works. I do have keyless entry on the door.

Is this factory standard on a '23 Raptor with no options?

The lenses on their DOT (street legal) lights can be mechanically flipped but it changes the optics significantly. In other words, don't flip those. Non-DOT are fine to flip, i.e. Ard optically symmetric. Folks typically flip these just for cosmetic reasons to make the logos appear readable.
