    Top Speed on Raptor R

    Ive posted it here before with the GPS visible, but my 2018 will easily pull 140mph. Yes, the K02 tires don't like it as they're too flexi/soft, but unless they're physically compromised they wont “blow up” or otherwise fail unless run above their speed rating for a “while”. I wouldn't want...

    Ford Performance Air/Oil separator for 3.5L EcoBoost

    The carbon crap sticks to the back side of the intake valves, so you can’t tell unless looking into the ports to see the valves. …and yes, you need to check/empty it at 5k mile intervals, just like the oil changes.

    Any armchair mechanics out there? Dealership is stumped.

    Now THAT sounded like the transmission hesitating/confused when you let off the throttle just as it was wanting to upshift under load. Thats is a real issue for ANY (auto)transmission. The sound is most likely the clutches AND torque converter flipping back/forth while the controller decides wtf...

    Any armchair mechanics out there? Dealership is stumped.

    Thats an odd sound for sure. Im not familiar with the R version, but the sound could be the supercharger pulley loose on the shaft, or otherwise drive belt related. Ive had superchargers before and that sure sounds like a belt/drive issue.

    Molten orange mistaken for red??

    Well you know that orange is simply a shade of red, right? So is pink. Red is the base color tinted with whatever… Just stick to the base colors of red, green, or blue and be happy. Well, you could go with the zero color of black or the all color of white. I’ve never understood why *****...

    Anyone rebuilt Gen 2 shocks

    …and this is why the rebuilt Gen2 shocks always turn out bad. Just suck it up and buy new if/when they go “bad”.

    FordPass New Version

    No, just f*ck Fords app. It was only useful to Ford as their “legal” tool to get your personal usage data so they could sell it for marketing money. Im so sick of this sh*t.

    FORD PASS Telematics Module

    You can remote start from the key fob, but not your phone. I’m good with that anyway. Just so you know, you can’t physically stop them from gathering your data from the Sync screen in the vehicle. You can “turn off” the communication to YOUR Ford Pass app, but what they don't tell you is that...

    Codes after E85 tune

    I monitor E-content real-time and have the Fuel-it app calculator pump content set to E83 vs E85 snd set the tank amount about 3 gallons less than the indicated amount to ensure I always have a bit more than E50 when filling up. I usually measure out to E53-E55. Its fine to have a few % more...

    Tranmission Failure

    I don't know what all the whining is about. My 2018 (bought new Jan 2018) shifts wonderfully with the basic Cobb OEM+ tune in it. In general, the people who have constant issues are people who don’t understand electromechanical things anyway. They need to buy a honda civic or toyota camry and...

    GEN 2 Loss of power

    Yes, but the concept of collapsing intake rubber is always valid, I wouldn't just discount it for that reason.

    GEN 2 Loss of power

    This looks like the intake opening is collapsing when it gets warm and soft. Its a known problem discovered by Cobb Tuning. They even captured it on video while trying to figure it out. They also have several parts available to help “fix” it.

    Upgraded Transmission Pan

    You really need to change the filter EVERY fluid change, so the drain plug is worthless, except in your head. That also applies somewhat to the rear differential as well. The drain plug equipped cover is not needed or desired. You always need to wipe away as much as you can of the sludge...

    Links ripped a hole in the axel

    Yeah, one side was a cold weld that didn't penetrate. The other weld held mightily in the one section it was a good weld and finally pulled out the tiny section that was actually a “good” weld. If welded properly those connections will never come loose. The axle tube and brackets can twist into...

    GEN 2 Cylinder 2 misfire…swapped coils and didn’t move

    GEN 2 Cylinder 2 misfire…swapped coils and didn’t move

    No, forget the damn phasers and change out the fuel injectors on #3. It runs mostly on the port injectors most of the time until you accelerate, or at higher load/rpm. I can tell you almost the exact rpm/load and what % it gives more fuel through direct vs port if you take a data log. They’re...
