    Transmission temp 195 F

    Not necessarily bad. In fact, too low a temp is no good either as it won’t cook off moisture and volatiles. IIRC trans fluid starts to break down over 220 degrees so you are well within range. May even be a bit higher with todays synthetic lubes. I have never checked mine but now you have me...

    IAT’s - Stock vs Whipple Intercooler

    Agree unless you never really beat on it. For short bursts you may not notice a difference but if you are on the boost heavy, temps will definitely shoot way up with the stock unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    Wow, what a bummer. Never seen smoke on mine and you have two engines that did it. Good luck with the fix! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear end damage

    No doubt. I paid $1500 delivered. Sell was $1200, dealer made money on it and Ford makes money on it. I would guestimate the true cost to Ford to be around $400-$600. Of course there is labor too but Ford doesn't pay $145/hr for warranty work either.

    Did anyone else get the recall letter?

    The one I purchased was MB5Z-5035-E . It came with the two isolators for the two bolts. My diff cover had two bolt holes. I did buy some bolts for the subframe but don't remember the part numbers.

    Quickjack on sale at Costco

    Pinch welds where I use rubber blocks should be close enough for the standard model. I'll find out soon enough.

    QUESTION: Who is using/has used a 3 bolt at the drag strip?

    Correct, my diff cover had two bolt holes with only one of them used. Regarding solid bushings, I'm not a big fan unless you are talking pure performance and not comfort. I put some poly bushings in my CTSV and while it handled great, daily driving was horrible and I swapped them back out.

    Interior creaks and rattles

    I think it's hit or miss on the quality. Mine has been outstanding so far but I also did a sound deadening exercise for stereo. Fingers crossed.

    QUESTION: Who is using/has used a 3 bolt at the drag strip?

    Can't speak for the diff cover but my 4-bolt subframe was $1600 delivered.

    Quickjack on sale at Costco

    I have the 5000 for a 66 Mustang in Florida. I just bought the 7000 bundle just for the extra insurance. It's not like a two post lift regarding construction. While I don't worry about my 3,000lb Mustang on it, not sure I would feel great about a 4500lb Explorer on it.

    QUESTION: Who is using/has used a 3 bolt at the drag strip?

    Right now Ford will not replace a 3-bolt with a 4-bolt even if you break the 1 bolt. The Police version may be the exception. The lame solution from Ford is to replace the 1 bolt. It appears to me that an average fabricator could find a bushing, drill out where the second bolt goes, and weld...

    Quickjack on sale at Costco

    Just an FYI quickjacks are on sale at Costco. I have been using one in Florida. While not a full lift, they are very nice if you are tight for space and want a reasonably cheap way to easily get your car in the air. Quickjack
