    2025 tunes (lack thereof)

    Yeah no way would I go with plug in either on any vehicle let alone a twin turbo. Significantly raises the chance your motor has a short life imo. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hit a deer. Now comes the auto insurance dance...

    Agree. Thats been the case with personal and business vehicles of mine. They do an initial assessment. Then if the body shop sees more damage underneath they get the adjuster to approve the additional cost. Your issue is one of the many reasons I always try to stay involved in the process both...

    2025 tunes (lack thereof)

    I think it’s all emissions based pressure from gov. They started with the diesel engines. I’m guessing partly due to those that like to tune for rolling coal. I drove diesels for many years and they seemed to start about 8-10 years ago to make it increasingly more difficult or expensive to tune...

    What's the best option to black out these 20in aluminum wheels?

    3 years of winters and no apparent wear. Probably put 60k plus miles on them, then I sold it. The place I used in Chicagoland included dismounting and remounting in the 600 price….10 years ago. IIRC it was Wheels America. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What's the best option to black out these 20in aluminum wheels?

    Not a bad price imo. I had 4 done for 600 with some minor very minor rash about 10 years ago. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Subwoofer enclosure between rear seat captain's chairs

    Very nice! Love the storage. I did similar but mine is a complete lift up storage area from lift gate to back of second row that will fit rifles and my amps are where the spare tire was. It also has a stealth key lock. I put a JL Audio TW5v2 13” sub in the oem spot in a custom fiberglass box I...

    Oil filter

    Didn’t think they changed oil filter for 25. Rock auto has the motorcraft Fl2062a which is listed for my 22 3.0 and 25 3.0 in stock. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Best Oil Catch Can

    Just an fyi. Over a month I did two long road trips of 2500-3000 miles each. Lots of playing during the drives. When I got home the catch can was 3/4 full. I was mildly surprised. Never get much in the can if I’m driving normally but apparently lots more when you are pounding the throttle a...

    Low Oil Level and Oil Pressure *READ ME*

    Not only is the new pan aluminum instead of plastic, it holds over 2qts more with a nice deep baffled sump. I still run 1/2 qt over over with the pan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Low Bass Sound During Deceleration

    There’s Fake Engine Noise. Makes engine sounds through stereo. You can turn it off using Forscan. Dealer should be able to turn it off and test it. If it goes away after turning it off that’s the issue. Janay of us turned it off asap after buying. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Low Bass Sound During Deceleration

    Not likely engine or exhaust if it doesn’t change when you put it in neutral. My best guesses would be possibly a tire problem or an issue in the drivetrain like driveshaft bearing or diff issue. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Winter warriors?

    It was that or a 5.0 Mustang and everybody had one of those I got the Getrag 5 speed stick. Went through a clutch or two. Had it for over 100k miles. It was definitely reasonably quick but the torque steer was brutal. It served me very well for a first new car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Choice in Oil Filters

    The higher end Frams are fine. They used to use cardboard glued end caps that didn’t like hot wet oil and were a disaster waiting to happen. For my explorer I have run a mobile 1 and a Mann. I think so long as you choose a reputable name with synthetic media you are GTG. Sent from my iPad...
