Mine is the same. 2020. Did they change in 2021?

If you're not going to run E-85, there is no benefit.

I went to Moab year before last with several of my cousins. They brought along their quads from Arizona and I was very surprised that we were motoring around scores of jacked up trucks working to get themselves unstuck. There are also those poor souls who brought something they considered...

It's perfect for holding a pack of smokes!

This is one of those things where some "old hot rodding" advice that might have meant something due to completely different engine parameters might have yielded gains, but no longer. Do you really think the engineers who specialize in selecting the coolant temps best for the engine went out of...

The thermostat regulates the engine's cooant temperature by opening (letting coolant through the radiator) and closing (keeping coolant in the block). Some people believe a lower temp thermostat allows the engine to have a bit more performance. I'm not a believer that there's any real...

Not enough info. Why would you even want to sell? Is the dealer who wants to buy it in Oregon and is he a Ford dealer? Whoever the dealer is, he likely has a buyer lined up who wants your specific features. Sounds like you're definitely in the power position, so tell them to do a bill of sale...

Bummer....or is it?

It would make sense that Sport mode doesn't do this, as the some of those steps are not being taken, for example letting off in Sport applies engine braking- meaning the engine didn't immediately unlock the torque converter and upshift some number of gears. Therefore you don't get all the same...

There are a lot of things going on mechanically that take time when you do this depending on speed and demand: 1. ECU "sees" demand via accelerator pedal 2. "demand" transmitted to CAN bus 3. ECU uses appropriate map to open throttle body and alter cam position to max torque. Throttle body with...

In my opinion, you did. Of all the exhausts that I've seen listed, the Thermal is the only one that I would purchase. Just my 2 cents.

Or you could burn incense and chant. Guys, I'm seeing posts talking about the ECU somehow adapting to airflow at idle, requiring 5 minutes to "do the math" and magically "calibrating" some sort of airflow optimization etc. It's not happening. For the ECU to do that sort of thing, there would...

Hey @ZFGracing- would you be willing to give some response to the BDX adaptive tune post? To me, unless you have some other way of measuring octane outside of the knock sensors, how can someone say they have an "adaptive tuning overlay map"? Isn't this just what's happening in the Ford...

Wowsa! That looks like subframe or A-arm damage. Want to share the circumstances?

Here's one I found-

Think of it this way- the rotating components on your vehicle come under formulae that cover angular momentum and moment of inertia. Every pound you can eliminate from rotating components (wheels, tires, flywheel, driveshaft, etc) frees horsepower that can be used to accelerate the vehicle...

We must have had the same fathers. I used to always sit behind my Dad, made his attempts to whack me much more difficult!

Is this with or without the kids in back? ;)

You're right, 40 lbs isn't a big deal unless it's reciprocating mass. Put your vehicle on a chassis dyno and see the results. Then put on lightweight wheels, lightweight rotors, etc...put it back on the dyno. You'll see a pretty convincing change in horsepower. Did you change horsepower...

The "ball-sack" dipstick tube. Is that a stress crack to the left in the first pic?
