Right?!?

Yes, the high side is prudent as also suggested by ZFG when modding. I'm sure that fluid is being seriously yanked back under WOT. It almost feels like the front end leaves the ground when it hits 2nd gear.

Thanks for chiming in! I often get a balk when hitting 2nd gear at full throttle. I'm guessing that's the pickup starving for fluid because of the fluid shift at full throttle. The manual says to fill the fluid to between 3 & 4 1/2, 3 being the higher level. When I fill to 3, it seems to...

I did a search on how a deeper trans pan helps the tranny. Besides giving improved cooling capacity, it reduces fluid foaming and aeration. With a deeper sump, there is more distance between the fluid surface and the filter pickup, reducing the risk of the transmission "sucking air" during hard...

Ditto!

As 2020FordRaptor mentioned, you just pay for the DMS tune which will come with several profiles. You can customize each drive mode with one of several tunes. I have the 93 DMS from ZFG.

Doubt the IC weight is culprit. I've had 10 times that weight in the cargo area and ran 3.9s 0-60 with just a 93 DMS tune. (no E85) Are you running the same track at the same ambient temp?

Ahhh, ok! Not up on the new ones. Thanks for the heads up.

You can determine how your shifts perform yourself if you get the 91 DMS tune. (drive mode specific) That way, you can choose a specific performance profile to be applied to whatever 'drive mode' you want. For instance, in my setup, I have the "Normal" profile in the economy mode, the...

Think I saw that too but he remarked that it was tight!

Yes, most of these makes come from 2 or 3 of the same plants. The Clarios company alone makes Interstate, Duracell, Diehard and Everstart batteries.

Yes, if need be, that's the very battery I'm going with. Did you go with the Platinum? I needed at least 800 CCA but I believe the Platinum is 850.

Good luck my friend! Most of my attempts to fix, reset or disable glitches on this model have come up with the same "Zero"!

Thanks for the heads up Adam! I've been hit on the head a couple times but hadn't had any unusual triggers from areas other than right behind the vehicle. Also appreciate the humor in your writeup. :giggle:

Funny, I get the same error message along with 2 more, once every 20 or so key cycles. As soon as I see them, I recycle the starting sequence. (including opening the door so Sync turns off) Usually, it stops after that. There's been a couple of times I had to do this twice but infrequently. I...
