    Thermal 2.5" vs 3"?

    From what I gathered in this thread, the 2.5" is quieter but ... is it a performance upgrade or just a sound enhancer? Isn't the stock exhaust a 2.5"? My goal is to make sure the Stage 5 turbos and DPs are breathing better but at the quietest choice.

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    Thanks for the info on these choices! Being as I have Stage 5 turbos and DPs, I'm looking to go to a higher performance than stock exhaust. That points me toward the 3" variety. Question is, can I get that upgrade "without" increasing the in cabin volume? I saw flhx06 mention that the AWE is not...

    Transmission Fluid Dipstick Option?

    I would like to go a step further. I'm thinking more of a sending unit that will tap into the dipstick housing. It would not only relay the fluid level to a gauge but will also double as a thermostat to make sure the temp is within spec for the reading. Although, there is already a temp sending...

    Transmission Fluid Dipstick Option?

    Actually, it's about both. OP inquired about the part. RayJay recommended a custom.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Firstly, I'm trying to decipher whether you have a 2020 with 54 kilometers or 54K miles. I'm thinking you've used "km" in both cases in your post but I'll let you clear that up for us. ;) It does sound like an alternator problem and you were running on battery alone. Your engine was...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Is why I don't deal with Stealerships! I bought an extended warranty that accepts any authorized service center so I can bring the vehicle to any trusted mechanic that stands behind their work. In your case, I would have been all the way up to ford corporate to rectify this chaotic clusterflock...

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    Yes to both. I don't have a trans brake and do try to keep up maintenance. So far, it's been pretty tight. (crossing fingers) Abusive driving is kept to a minimum. Spirited driving consumes only 20% drive time.

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    Def makes more sense ... but I can forget about having a "reputable transmission shop" in my area. I couldn't even get half the places I called to check the trans fluid level. Getting the parts before hand sounds key. I would still bring it to Level 10 in NJ as they would have experience in...

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    With the mods I have, I would lean more towards 550-575hp on 93. If I put ethanol in it, ZFG predicts 625-650 to the wheels. Was thinking of getting a used 10R60 and sending it to a rebuild company then keep it on standby.

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    Well right off the bat, I wouldn't consider the mods I've done as treating the trans right. lol The only thing I can attest to treating this one right is keeping the fluid clean by exchange and as Adam from ZFG recommended, keeping it slightly over full. His tune programming will do the rest...

    ST Freakin' Out?

    Yes, I have version 3.4, build 23188.

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    I've seen the like as far as building the trans. I have fairly good power but I don't track it or do many launches at all. Mostly just punch on the go. Do you think the trans will hold up under my driving conditions or should I consider a rebuild?

    ST Freakin' Out?

    I'll have to check that next time out. Thought I had the latest. I updated it just this past summer.

    ST Freakin' Out?

    No, hadn't done a cold boot yet. Wanted to get some feedback before I did anything. Will consider, thanks!

    ST Freakin' Out?

    Hey All, Just ran into a series of ST computer problems yesterday. First off, when I made a request for a contact on my phone, it got stuck on the "loading contacts". At that point in the trip, they should already have been loaded. I had to make the call from my phone. The display showed the...

    What power level does traction become an issue?

    That will differ by case. Suspension, tires, tune, weight etc will all be factors. I barely spin, if at all. That's with running 93 DMS tune, IC, DP's, CAI, Stage 5 CRP Turbos etc. Might attest some of that to the fact that I have 300lbs of equipment on board and sticky tires. It's my guess...

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    I know right? I had to take the front, side windows tint off to pass inspection. They weren't that dark at all! I have no disrespect for law enforcement either but we have no justice system. Ask me how I know that. Ok, I'm going back on topic.

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    Thanks. Right?!? And the kicker is, it's illegal. Law enforcement has done nothing to stop them and that's why it's so prevalent. It used to be a secondary offense and was changed to a primary but for what?
