The ecoboost engines use several different factors to determine power output, and the biggest of which is OAR (Octane Advance Ratio). You want this ratio to be value to be -0.1, because that means that the vehicle isn't pulling off any timing for spark knock. This ratio is real-time adjusted and...

Ford Doesn't build the hard tops in-house. They are sourced from a supplier called Webasto. Seeing as how Webasto is a manufacturer in their own rite, they are suffering from the same supply chain issues as everyone else. The problem started when their first iteration (MIC v1.0) had issues with...

I hope it's been mentioned here, but this isn't just Broncos that they're talking about. I know for a fact that there are probably 20k or more Superduty pickups, Expeditions, and Navigators sitting at the Kentucky Speedway, awaiting parts. The supply chain is in a state of total unpredictable...

If you're back in town, look up Mama's Mustard, Pickles, and BBQ. They have 2 locations on the East End, but either one worth a shot. It's orange juice concentrate, pineapple juice concentrate, creme de coconut, and Woodford Reserve. Probably my favorite drink!

There's a BBQ joint near my hotel in Louisville that makes bourbon slushies. At $8 each, they are worth every penny!

Catchy title, eh? For those of you who have swapped in the stock subwoofer housing, do you happen to recall how big the nuts and screws are for mounting the housing to the chassis? There appears to be 2 nuts at the bottom and 2 screws at the top. If Ford is following their typical methods, I...

That sounds like the plan I'll go with, Sir Knight!

However long you think it'll take, it'll probably take more, man. Get it? Utah? Morman? Sorry, good luck with getting your vehicle.

Any news on the 200.4?

Found out at lunch today that I'm scheduled for the 9/19 build week and have a VIN!!! On top of that, my wife and I got tickets to see Hamilton in November. On top of that, I solved a major issue with the software on our upcoming launch, something that would have caused a stop-build. And on top...

They didn't build anything in July (except maybe the last week). However, they ran a ton of rework/shortage units. The Roush building in Allen Park was turning and churning, as was the repair lot at MAP.

Exactly when has anyone considered a Dana 30 a "real front axle"? Back to the topic at hand, That's rather insane. Even with wider tires, without a lift, I wouldn't expect any kind of excess stress to be put on the inner tie rod. 33s aren't that much bigger than stock tires. There has to be...

I had Havoc bumpers on my JK 4 door when I had it. They were less expensive than most of the comparable stuff, but seemed like good quality. I will definitely give them a look for steps/sliders when (if) my truck ever gets built!

Hope I'm not too late! My 4th of July was absolutely amazing. I spent the day playing with my kids and generally trying to ignore the fact that I was turning 40. July 4th is also my birthday, so I get to celebrate with fireworks and a paid holiday most years! For dinner, I fired up the grille...

It's Old Man Emu, so it's going to be the most comfortable and well-mannered suspension setup you've ever experienced. But it's going to cost $5000 minimum. They're stuff is great, but damn is it expensive.

My questions all along, regarding the Trektop vs the OEM softy, is this; How hard is it to transition between a hard top and a soft top, and which is easiest between the two currently available options? The Wrangler JKU Trektop NX that I had on my 2017 was super easy to remove completely. I...

The company that disposed of FoMoCo's test units, prototypes, and non-saleable units is within my service area, so they frequently donate cars/trucks for us to train on. We have to do it over a tarp, because every single piece and part that comes off has to be accounted for. They legally...

I'm also curious... if you have first-hand experience with their products, then you're simply reviewing and giving your opinion on a product. By all means, share. If you're just passing along "I heard of a guy" stories, that's not really worth much. FWIW, I ran their tune on my Focus RS for...

I mean... you're not wrong.

That's cool! Is that a 3D print, or did you manage to find a hotwheels sized 4 door? I have a hardtop A51 coming that I'd love to have a "mini me" version of.
