    How are you checking your engine oil?

    Being a half a quart low or even a full shouldn’t damage anything unless you are doing a bunch of launches. Most of my vehicles were a qt between the full and low dots on the dipstick. If it burned another quart in those 5k miles then you might have a problem. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rear window heating elements, warranty denied, touch up kit?

    I have used one many moons ago. It worked for a long time before I sold it. I’m sure the kits have improved in 30 years[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    CLOSED: DashCam and OBD2 Adapter?

    I have a double external battery. My Blackvue records 40+ hours in parking mode but recording with ignition off. I just leave it running all the time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Alibaba Wheels

    Too many unknowns imo. Having seen a wheel blow up at speed, I’m not willing to risk my life to save a few bucks. They may be made in the same factory as the oem wheels with the same quality control and specs, or they may be made with lousy aluminum and poor quality control. Sent from my iPad...

    NGK Plug change, and don't go to Ford to have it done.

    Depends on dealer. But thats how many shops make money. Any good mechanic can find short cuts. I know thats how the collision business works. Insurance pays book rate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Book might say to remove the coolant lines but it is definitely not necessary. You just have to unbolt the assembly and move it a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tune adaptation

    My tune results were immediate. I did not notice any change over time. I would guess that the engine learns in the first 20 minutes of running but I’m no tuning expert. Transmission learning was pretty good right after tune but did get better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    I had a very brief knock when logging my initial tune. Since my final tune I have not heard a knock ever. I’m guessing something went wrong with the log. It’s a pretty straightforward process so I’m a bit surprised. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
