Mine was going off constantly (3-4 times a day). Ordered the hood latch from Fordparts.com and it took me all of 30 minutes to install it myself. It was a $27 part, so to me, it wasn't worth the hassle of dealing with a dealership service dept. The part number is M2DZ16700A if anyone wants to...
Adam at TunePlus (one of the best EcoBoost tuners out there) turned me on to the MolyGen when I had my Focus RS. The oil company itself makes some claims that may or may not be true about reliability, fuel mileage, etc. It's probably a matter of placebo effect, but when I changed from running...
I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning or not.
I have been getting not-insignificant fuel milage improvements since putting the FRP tune on my 2.3L. I regularly make the trip between Detroit and Louisville. Before the tune, in stock form, I was getting around 18.9MPG. After a 2" RPG spacer...
Judging by how the bottom is almost even with the gas tank skid, and that it has three holes in the bottom that appear threaded, I'm gonna venture a guess and say it's the rear mount for a transfer case skid plate. The holes are there probably to add a little rigidity by having the pipes welded...
It's all about whoever does your tune. You won't get the same numbers out of a 93 octane tune as you will an E85+93 tune, simply because there's more octane in the E30 tune (usually around 97-98 octane). Pure E85 is 110-114 depending on actual Ethanol content and quality.
But, you can pull some...
The Mustang and Focus RS guys are pulling some serious numbers out of the 2.3L EcoBoost, even with simple bolt-ons. I was around 400hp at the wheels with my RS running a tune (E30), intercooler, downpipe, and intake. The limiting factor for those vehicles were the fuel system (the high pressure...
If you're going with Rough Country, the 12k is only another $50. May as well do it.
I'm not sure about the other brands though. I hope I never bury myself deep enough to need it at all, but I also don't want to be the guy rockers-deep in mud, wishing I'd have went bigger.
I honestly have no idea. I haven't put hands-on either one of them, so I don't know if they're a direct swap or not.
Sometimes (and I mean, occasionally...) they'll use the same physical housing with a different part number. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a direct fit, as the wiring inside...
That's old school thinking. Back before the days of ceramic ball bearings, water cooled turbos, and super thin oil.
These days, we have all of these added features to help protect the turbo at start up and shut down. It can't hurt to let it rest a little, especially if you're running high...
The HOSS 3.0 steering rack comes with the PSCM (Power Steering Control Module) mounted. However, since it's being shipped as a replacement, it's coming as a blank module. Sometimes, there is a bootloader and base level software installed on the module, just so it will "fire up" and get into a...
There's definitely room for improvement with a factory paint job. Granted, it's not much room for aggressive polishing, but you can still work wonders on the orange peel with a few hours of labor. You're not necessarily trying to get out the swirl marks that come with automatic car washes and...
Hey Matt...
I used to be in Wicked Jeeps. I probably met you a time or two at the pre-covid BDubs nights or the Wicked Hunt. I was also a medic there in the same city as you guys, so I got to see some of the cool company vehicles. If you happen to need a 4 door Sasquatch for testing, I'm local...
First off, I want to apologize to the reservation holders, first day orders, and 21-to-22-to-23 converts that are out there. You have my sympathy. I didn't wait nearly as long as you have, and frankly... wouldn't have done so.
I got my Bronco from Southgate Ford, from the salesman Ken Garvin...
Dude... $350 and I have to advertise your product for you? Nah, I'll pass. I'm sure someone else will come up with one at 1/4 the price without their logo emblazoned in the middle.
To be honest, I like the looks otherwise, but a kit like that should be priced similarly to the "behind the tire"...
