    Ford Dealer Scams

    Yeah, well good luck with the CoC doing anything either. Their influence (in general) on local businesses hasn’t been effective in decades. Yes, back 40/50 years ago before the internet they were very effective at protecting consumers from criminal/unscrupulous businesses. I’m not even sure they...

    Transmission Failure

    Yeah, it seems it’s becoming an issue with some of the earlier (< ‘23) 10R60/80s. I have two of them, a 10R60 and a 10R80, but I’m not really worried about it as it isn’t wide-spread. It would be nice to know the full background on those that have the issue. Maybe @FordTechOne can check into it

    Transmission Failure

    The <2023 10R80 has at least one major flaw thats been corrected recently. Here is the info… Here’s another later version about the issue…

    Ford GEN2 Engine Start Up

    That single “clink” sound is the flywheel ring gear throwing the starter drive out of engagement. It means everything is clean and dry in that area as it should be. It all sounds normal to me. It does have the later ‘19+ engine cover, but it’s just for measured sound reduction as every sound is...

    Turbo boost problems

    The boost value displayed literally means nothing as the ECU doesn’t target any specific boost value. It’s probably best to ignore it. The ECU utilizes a series of Driver Demand tables to target the related Load, Torque, and their related limiter tables to produce power. The boost value isn’t...

    Commuter Car?

    Miles do not impact the longevity of the Raptor. Sitting (outside especially) without driving it WILL negatively impact the longevity of many of the moving and electronic components. Raptors tend to hold their value well over time regardless of mileage. Well, without the idiotic scams associated...

    Titan7 Forged 17” Wheels

    Those are great wheels, but the offset puts them a bit too far out for many. If you’re going for the radical though you can get wide-body carbon fenders that’ll cover any tire/wheel that’s runnable. GLWS!

    Commuter Car?

    Yeah, I’m 70 going on ~30, so….

    Commuter Car?

    Compared to a Superbike, yes…

    Commuter Car?

    I heard that’s a lot of fun… Twice the fun if you can find the other. The bike is gutless though. I ride Superbikes for their great gas mileage… My beater bike is an old ‘21 Ducati V4SP. It only has 220 hp with a tick over 200 at the wheel. It’s a heavy **** at a 410lbs full of gas ready to...

    Can anyone help me identify this leak?

    Likely cracked valve cover. However it could be several causes. Either clean it up and look for it or take it to a trusted shop, if there is such a thing…

    shell T6 0-40

    That’s always a controversial question! Really, any synthetic API rated SP is good with me. I’m currently running 5w30 SP SuperTech Advanced or Mobile1 Advanced from the local Walmart in all my 4-wheeled vehicles. I also have some Redline 5w40 SN and Motorcraft 5w50 SN for my bikes.

    New Member - Oklahoma

    Welcome! Damn, that Bill Knight guy has dealerships all over OK. I bought my 2018 new in OKC from Bob Moore Ford. Paid MSRP for a vehicle for only the second time in my life, but I do love the damn truck even though I hate pickup trucks. Oh yeah, those wheels “may” look cool to you and maybe...

    New engine and build question

    The SPD thermostats are Motorcraft resold with the SPD logo etched on the flange. They’re top quality parts from Ford. The Raptor/SPD tax adds more than a few bucks, but they are the “best” IMO.

    Turbo Boost after mod peaking at 36psi

    Yeah, good analysis. I should have expected the guy who doesn’t understand boost control may be looking absolute pressure vs boost pressure.

    Turbo Boost after mod peaking at 36psi

    Yes, but it isn’t “useful” boost and will destroy the turbo(s) very quickly.

    Turbo Boost after mod peaking at 36psi

    The problem is in the tune. The BOV has nothing to do with any boost value. It opens when you lift throttle to release any pressure in the tubes against the closed throttle plate. Talk to your tuner ASAP. I’ve been thinking as to WHY people think the BOV controls boost. Maybe it was the Indy...

    Official Gen 3 COBB Tuning Thread - Accessport, Intake Bracket, etc

    Yes, yes they are. My 2021 is significantly quicker-faster than my Raptor, but I’m on HPTuners with it. Cobb just took too long with too little. HPTuners already has drive mode select (4 options) tuning. You can be stock in Normal and wild race in Sport but only with the same fuel. The previous...

    shell T6 0-40

    The T6 has much more calcium in it for nasty diesels, which makes it terrible in direct injected engines. Just say no. I have direct experience and two broken engines before the problem was discovered by the aftermarket.

    Will you even consider a Cybertruck (Fun Poll)

    It sure is, IF you allow the built-in connectivity. Ford also records more data that is available in non-volatile memory after a crash incident. Most OEMs have the data recording as well, just not as much data as Ford. I recommend do NOT allow all the Ford Pass “convenience” features as it all...

    Bad gas. You feed it tacos & buritos?

    TPMS not reading on all four tires

    Your new lights/wiring is likely killing the signal from the sensors. Remove them and problem solved. WTF would you wants lights all over your headliner? Maybe you should get the underglow setup as well? Jeez… maybe some Afro-glow for your hair too.
