    New fueling option for the Explorer - Port Injection

    Thanks for the feedback. Regarding @mitchellj22 concerns about mixing, it is really not complicated at all. Tuners like ZFG are very good about configuring the ECU to detect and prevent knock and learn the fuel mixture over time. So if you have a 93 tune, you can mix up to e30 and make...

    New fueling option for the Explorer - Port Injection

    There’s also the fact that tuners don’t want to have a reputation of hurting engines. And pump gas is unreliable. Octane ratings can vary and why blow am engine making 500hp on pump when you can make 600 safely on ethanol.

    New fueling option for the Explorer - Port Injection

    I am not a tuner so take this with a grain of salt. But these 3L already breathe really well from the factory. Upgrading exhaust and intake and charge pipes and even downpipes only gain marginal power when tuned on ethanol but I think those upgrades are at an almost negligible impact to the...

    10r60 fluid level

    I just did a drain and fill with a new filter. Ford recommends the fluid level be between 4.5 - 3 on the dipstick. But I know folks on this forum have said it should be at about 2.5. Before I drained it, i checked the fluid level at 97C and it was at a 2 with the rear end slightly lower than...

    New fueling option for the Explorer - Port Injection

    I don’t think the previous responses were helpful so I’ll try. For optimal power you need a specific ratio of air to fuel. With premium gas, you can achieve that ratio easily with the factory fuel system. Adding more premium fuel will not add power, it will just reduce efficiency by making the...

    2025 Trans Slamming into 3rd (sometimes)

    I second this. It’s not hard. Buy kevlar sleeves from harbor freight for 11$. You just need a 19mm wrench and those sleeves to prevent burns. Operational temp takes a long time to get to 205f. don’t just assume it’s up to temp, you need to verify. I use 4 ramps and reverse up them. Makes trans...

    2025 Trans Slamming into 3rd (sometimes)

    Someone with more knowledge will hopefully chine in but do the 25s also ship with low transmission fluid? I know that’s an issue with a lot of the earlier STs being sold brand new with low transmission fluid which can cause some issues.

    10r60 filter part number

    Okay so they are interchangeable but the 10r80 filter is just slightly more filter surface and larger? Thank you.

    10r60 filter part number

    I just ordered this from rockauto. It should be this part here. They are taking their time shipping it out and I’m in a rush to do the pan drop and filter replacement before I start work again next week. Are the 10r80 filters compatible with our trans? I ordered this from amazon to get a filter...

    Fluid Change Conundrum

    Dang, that’s too bad. I wonder if they didn’t torque it correctly. Rockauto didn’t have the gasket available and I didn’t want to wait for shipping from elsewhere. If it starts leaking i’ll be happy to do a second trans drain and fill anyways. Since it only exchanges about 5-6 qt of the 12...

    Fluid Change Conundrum

    Gasket should last lifetime of the trans, it is reusable

    Which fuse #'s to use for dashcam?

    Yea, they should work to power the camera when the car is running. it’s just a 5 Volt buck converter with a convenient plug and play jumper. But this will not enable parking mode if that’s what you’re wanting. Parking mode requires one 12v always constant wire and one 12v switched (accessory)...

    Which fuse #'s to use for dashcam?

    Thanks for the info! I’ve always just soldered stuff in but this car is too nice to start cutting stuff up. In my experience these hardware kits always go bad after a year of two anyways so the fuse taps are nice.
