    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

    This is where I’m at with DPs, a Thermal 2.5, and a ZFG. With the improved shifting I mostly drive in normal, sport if I feel like jamming. The higher shift points in sport definitely ups the sound. The older I get the more I like good rumble but less loud[emoji23]. Hard to complain about the...

    Can’t remember but I thought I named them. One was a 3rd gear pull and the other was a 1/4 mile pull. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    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

    Charging error and battery saver issue

    Since retiring,I take a lot of short trips. Started to have battery issues. Once a week I will plug in a smart charger and it resolved the issue. Just make sure you wire it to go through BMS sensor on negative post. I do a lot of projects in my garage. With the engine off my ST makes a tone of...
