A lot of newer vehicles cut throttle if you press the gas and the brake at the same time. It’s to prevent old people from hitting both at the same time and ramming straight in to a McDonald’s. That’s my thought at least.

Damn, that sucks. I’ve hopped in mine, thrown it in neutral and rolled it down the driveway without starting it. I’ve done this with many other manual trans vehicles and the Bronco is bad at stopping with no vacuum. Whether throwing it in gear and letting the clutch out would have stopped you...

The transmission is bolted to the engine, so, yeah.

I’ve had them make a nest on top of the cabin filter. Luckily the cabin filter takes two seconds to check.

Aren’t the 2.7s in the f150s known to have issues caused by the turbo oil feed screens?

Ford. 😂

Well, yeah. You can’t compare results from different dynos. Even the same dyno on a different day will vary. The first run it made 470 tq. on the same dyno.

So the dyno isn’t trustworthy and you’re not sure what’s on your own vehicle?

They are all like this. Not a mistake

I’d say your initial thought is correct. Winch weight lowered front ride height, increased negative camber which also changed your toe.

“Mixes” with the charged air?! It doesn’t mix with anything. The intake air gets pressurized in the compressor side of the turbo and heats up. The colder it is going in, the colder it is going out. You’re asking more from your intercooler with hotter intake temps, leading to quicker heatsoaking...

Right. I was hoping the sales rep for Chevron I quoted would respond as it’s just false information.

Please explain why a “tier 3” fuel or a fuel additive would help against carbon buildup on the back of an intake valve.

Sounds like you need to find a competent dealer

Mine started at 8k.

You think each tire is exactly the same diameter and they’re all spinning at the exact same speed? Even going in a straight line, 4H on dry pavement is unnecessary and causing stress on your driveline.

Metal contracts when it’s cold and expands as it warms up. It seems as though cold temperatures contract a part/parts enough to cause a tolerance issue and initially expose the sound being heard. That’s my guess at least.

Mine started doing this with 8k miles now that it’s starting to get below freezing. Noise stops once pressure is put on 6th gear or it’s in 6th gear. I’m waiting for an actual resolution to come out, rather than replace it with another transmission with bad bearings.

Yikes. Sounds like a not so awesome dealer. I’d be on their ass if they’re saying it has it.

I believe Ford calls it “Intelligent Access”. It’s the first feature listed on the mid package.
