I'm at 8.5psi on a 13; more to come once i do the OPGs. It's an auto with a 3700 stall, and yeah, you even look at the gas pedal the wrong way and it's sideways, on 325/50/15 DRs. The Bronco would be 4x4 tho... would be a lot of pissed off tesla owners!
Motorcraft FL-1A is what my 4.0 Jeep sees... doesn't help with the 10psi hot oil pressure, but it's been running like that for years... lol. It was one of those where the previous owner probably did 3 oil changes in 160k miles... I've done 10+ in the last 13k miles to clean out the gunk, and...
The reason it's hard to put that weight limit on is because of what you're towing at that weight. A 7k lb single axle dump trailer that's low to the ground is waaaay different to pull than a 32ft long travel trailer like this...
That puts a hole in your seat the first time it happens. The next time it puts hair on your chest. I test drove a TJ rubicon and I could tell from the shape of the thing it's gonna do it... I asked the salesman if they test drove it, he goes yeah, it's perfect... hit 50mph and the guy just...
Werd. I wish my coyote was built like the 2.7... those rods are massive by comparisson. I'd be able to run a lot more boost on the 'yote. All of Ford's powertrains are great choices (except for maybe the 1.6 and 2.0 in the ST due to the weight of the bronco), so I'm not too worried about...
This x11000000000. What would the mustang be with just the ecoboost and not the GT/GT500? When you see a powerwheels F150, it's the raptor not a lariat. What would the Lancer have been without the evo? Or the WRX without the STI? In each case, each of those cars would be terrible on their...
Having had both a 5.0 and a 2.7, I can tell you the 2.7 will need a lot more room than the 5.0 due to all of the turbo piping.
The wrangler is a very narrow sloping towards the front, so the longer the engine, the more it gets crowded at the front. The hemis and LS motors do fit, but keep in...
I'm an IT guy and love technology, and I'll be quick to jump on the give me the latest and greatest technology... What gets annoying is when you go to modify stuff - I can never leave anything alone. Stereo systems - I'm sorry, even the Bang & Olufsen system in my F450 doesn't come close in...
Reading through the nanny debate was all fun and games... meanwhile I'm sitting here thinking... I remember the days I used to put a nicer stereo in my vehicles... can't do that shit now. lol.
And while on that subject, god i hate those molex door connectors.
Being on my 5th and 6th mustangs currently I can see why people are upset that this thing is called a mustang...
We've seen GM and what they do when they butcher old names. A lot of us don't want to see that happen to Ford.
Remember the mighty nova? Here's where it ended up after being...
And we're talking about torsens in the snow here, so my point stands.
Once again, in low traction situations you want to be in control more than anything. A spool is damn near gonna guarantee you wiping out every corner in the snow.
We're talking low traction situations where you'd use 4x4 -...
I haven't looked at them lately, did when they first came out, went and got a Rubicon instead.... which is the same exact thing that'll happen if the Bronco has an IFS. Guess things changed.
Both absolutely iconic brilliant rock crawlers. And a stellar reliability track record, shit's practically as indestructible as a nine inch spool.
And yes, we definitely need one more IFS equipped vehicles on the market. Because mall crawling is an underserved market.
Any limited slip will require torque difference between the wheels to function. In a limited traction low speed situation you will be at a disadvantage as power is going to both wheels. Yes, in a rally situation when you're trying to push as much snow, it's a whole different issue.
Have you...
The torsen option take rate is very tiny... and just like a torsen would do when used in drag racing, it would get demolished for rock crawling. It's also a terrible idea driving around in the snow for example... you're pretty much guaranteed one of your front wheels will lose traction in a...
You will never see a limited slip offered from the factory in the front. A locker that's open when unlocked - like the rubicon - yes, but a limited slip will not happen. If you knew anything about offroading you'd know why that's a bad idea... Not to mention all of the negative side effects it...
You're essentially talking about how the engine feels to you, not actual time until it reaches its peak torque. Ecoboosts will make their max torque way before a coyote. And if you want to talk about performance, we can also bring up the fact that one will lose power at altitude and one wont -...
