As someone new to this type of tires I find this interesting. Almost ever review of Nittos I see they are horrible in the rain/snow and nothing like a BFG. Makes the decision so much harder seeing al these differing opinions!
This ^ I noticed it after my last two oil changes. Got worried at first, got underneath it and saw it was coming from the drain channel. Got it cleaned up and no more spots.
Yeah the whole saga is pretty confusing. My fear would be they got them in and something is totally FUBAR. Turn beat them to market, Anderson seems to be ramping up production, Ford is now even offering MIC tops all before ADV shipped 1 top. Something is clearly wrong IMO.
Eruption Green, Cyber Orange, A51, cactus grey are the most common I see.
Then probably Carbonized Grey, Race Red, Velocity Blue
See it sometimes but not often, Black, White Hot Pepper red
Rarest - AMB and rapid Red
No one has done it successfully yet. As others mentioned, the issue is getting all the electronics to play nice and that is where the issue is. There was a shop working on a coyote swap. They were working on it for almost a year before everything on their channels went radio silent, and now...
Haha yeah I used to always run BP in my mustang when I had it, then did the same with the Bronco because the BP station was more convenient. Few times I had to fill up elsewhere(Shell/Mobil) I noticed improved MPG so last year I did a test. Did 2 fill ups at BP, then 2 fill ups at shell and...
Believe it used to be, but it's not listed any more on the top tier site. Maybe the local BP station by me just has bad gas constantly lol. Either way I have noticed best MPG for me is Shell or Mobil
Remember EcoBoost is either eco or boost not both.
I've noticed best mileage comes from 89, keeping it out of boost, cruise control whenever possible. I got 24.2 on my last tank(2.3L, A10, 3.73 rear). I have also noticed that top tier gas results in better MPG. My best MPG always comes with...
That's pretty much what I have heard/read/learned. When it comes to swapping a modern engine into a modern vehicle(especially Ford for some reason) getting ALL the electronics to work the way they are supposed to is the big issue. It's not like back in the day where if it fits it works. Will...
Man the baja boss A/T seems like it would be the perfect choice for me when it's time to ditch the factory bridgestones. I absolutely loved my mickey thompson drag radials in my Mustang days lol. If only the meat head in me didn't just love the look of the Ridge Grappler so much haha...
Hate to say it, but sounds like it's time to take it to a different shop and have them look at it. I am by no means an expert on this stuff, but it definitely seems like the original shop might have screwed something up and is now in cover their ass mode.
Thanks for the cliff notes but I still read every page haha.
And still have no idea what a portal is lol, started losing track when the conversation got to helical cut or straight gears lol
Another thing I didn't see mentioned that I have noticed in my 30K miles of ownership.
Quality of the gas seems to make a difference. I have noticed that when I use top tier gas (Shell/Mobil) I get noticeably better MPG. When I use BP (which is not listed as top tier) my mileage does drop...
