    Trailering behind a camper

    When I was hauling my track car in a trailer I used the ratchet straps that have a net that goes around the tire. Never had any issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone had their interior door panels off.. or intending to for any reason? Wobbly windows..

    Just to add, if you don't get the plastic pieces fully seated back into the glass you can have issues. I had problems when re-assembling the first door panel. Found out one of the plastic snap-ins was not fully inserted and popped out causing window issues.

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

    Yes you can do this but it would require cutting the subframe and welding in a bushing. Somebody with limited fabrication and welding skills should be able to handle it.

    Transmission temp 195 F

    I'd say yours are a tad higher than mine but I would not be concerned. Keep an eye on it. If you see it getting 220 or higher you might have an issue but i would chalk the difference up to slightly different driving conditions and weather.

    Transmission temp 195 F

    Don’t have all the details you are looking for but I have been watching it on my gauge. Within about 15 minutes of driving from cold start I’m around 185. After driving on highway for 30 minutes I’m around 190-195. If I’m having a little fun for a bit I see 205-210. Never seen higher than 210...

    Software

    We update computerized assembly tools with flash drives as well. There are some that plain won't work. They recommend Sandisk and I have never had any trouble updating those controllers with a Sandisk.

    Puddle Lights

    I like them. First I saw them was on my wife's MB. Considering how many things they cut from the 2020 MY I feel fortunate they didn't axe them.

    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.
