I provided data and evidence that both CSF and Full Race work and are of good quality regardless of your concern that some boogey(china)man builds them. CSF has been building radiators since 1975 since you want to throw "time in business" into this equation now, even though it's completely...
This has gotten ridiculous.
Have fun paying $1500 when $700 would've done the job if you go that route. I'm not here to continue arguing with guys that have no hard data other than "I installed this and it worked".
LOL.
Your're not going to have a radiator failure because you spent $700 on a full race or $500 on a CSF instead of (a fucking insane) $1500 on a Ron Davis. You can only fit so much radiator into the stock mounts/core support. There is not technology in the Ron Davis that makes it worth...
The outer tie rod end is all on piece, you don't just replace the ball joint. Same with the upper arm, it's replaced as an assembly.
You can get Moog upper arms for $55 each and outer tie rods for $42 each from rock auto. They'll be fine for a daily street queen.
Running Toyo 35x12.5r17 AT2's which call for 55 psi for street pressure to match the factory according their load index. I run 42psi on the street, air down to 28-30 hot for offroad, and 18 for sand dunes.
If its sshort offroad trip (like, a just a few miles to go shooting or something) or a...
The stoich number is usually already 14.08 (for E10) from Ford because that is what pump fuel is in the US.
I haven't been in the ford ECU for a while, but that point further proves my point of the truck comes tuned for E10, and then the existing tuning is also (very likely) for E10.
If you're worried about foreign manufacturing quality, stay away from Mishimoto then..
CSF isn't a small company. They supply OEM's and have huge pull with manufacturing. Chinese mfg doesn't mean low quality, it depends what you're paying and you're relationship with suppliers.
That being...
Definitely go with Ron Davis or Full Race. CSF also makes a 2 core drop in replacement radiator that is worth looking at (part number CSF-7043).
Mishimoto is hot garbage based on my experience with them in racecar world.
Buy once, cry one. When my stock pump went out after it's second offroad trip a week after I got the truck, I put the Lee pump and reservoir kit on. It's been on for 2yrs and 50k trouble free miles. Probably 5k of those miles have been off-road.
My 2011 F150 started doing this around 115k miles. Eventually the TC wouldn't stay locked. Its typically an issue with the valve body wearing (specifically the piston bore that controls the TC lock up circuit). We put a used low mileage trans in it and it was good to go. A valve body is about...
We're not on the same page. The 10% ethanol content does not create a need to pull timing and does not hurt power. Here in Vegas the fuel is 91 octane. If they're adding ethanol to fuel that's already 91 octane, that fuel is now actually >91 octane. If they offset that by using less of other...
Email tunes work fine. You're reviewing the same data. Flash tune, datalog, send data to tuner, tuner reviews data and send new tune. Its basically the same.
Any updates on adjusting the live valve without the electronic motor on it? My fab guy designed an upper mount (much less cutting than the KHC) to account for the longer shock and we're planning to put a set on in the next few weeks.
You are correct that E85 requires approximately 30% more fuel than gasoline to run proper AFR's. E100 requires about 50%% more fuel. E100 has about a 27% lower calorific value than gasoline, but you're burning 50% more of it, so you have a net gain of about 25%. In a car like my Evo, going from...
10% ethanol does nothing to hurt power. The truck was tuned on that fuel (all fuel in Vegas is 10% ethanol unless you're buying race fuel or E85), therefore it is tuned around the presence of 10% ethanol in the fuel. As long as he has enough injector to handle it the truck would pick up power...
