    GEN 2 Engine stumble under light boost on freeway - code P0301

    Yes… very familiar. That’s when I experienced my issue; at WOT on the interstate. Normal driving, that is to say, gradual acceleration would not render the stumbling results. But, as soon as I would put it to the floor… bam!!! She’d **** all over herself. CEL, limp mode, etc. As far as the...

    GEN 2 Engine stumble under light boost on freeway - code P0301

    Everything you described sounds exactly like what happened to me. What I ended up finding to be my issue was a MAP sensor covered in an oily/ watery substance. Cleaned it off, and performance returned to normal; for about a week. Next, I tapped a small hole in my intercooler. I got at least a...

    Thoughts on AMP Power Steps for Gen 2?

    I thought about power running boards, but not real hip on the OEM dependability track record. Not to mention the headache of getting them wired up, and working. I’m turned off by AMP due to the connection to the DLC port. I know people are running them with no issues, but I would be the guy...

    Dealer Negligence - Damage During Maintenance

    That’s utter BS!!! Thee dealerships need more quality control. And when they do mess up, because they will, the dealers should own up to it!!!

    Coolant leak horror

    So, I had a slow coolant leak that was leaving my degas bottle low every 3-5 days’ish. Turned out to be my passenger turbo coolant line fitting. Or, so I thought. Once I ripped everything out and got in there I saw no signs of leaks. Even though the trail was from that side. The puddle on the...

    Has anyone tried any oil additives in the 3.5 l EcoBoost and heard or made any actual difference in the performance and longevity of the engine

    I use two oil additives… Marvel Mystery oil and Lucas Oil Stabilizer. My process is filling the crankcase with the recommended Motorcraft oil (5qt container), and Lucas Oil Stabilzer (1qt for it’s fantastic lubricant properties). Approximately every 2-3 oil changes I will run the Motorcraft and...

    Ken Block

    Yeah, read about this in a breaking news article on my phone the other morning. Truly sad. Unbelievable. He was an amazing driver. My first introduction to his majesty’s driving prowess was Gymkhana 7: Wild in the Streets of Los Angeles. Simply amazing… I was hooked at that point. He was one...

    Full race FMIC on gen 3 installed!

    In reference to those boost numbers… after my install I didn’t get on it too hard before the tune. So, I can’t speak to that scenario specifically. At the tuners garage (Elite Performance & Tune, Littleton, CO) I did notice when Eddie had up on the dyno while sounding it also was letting...

    Unhappy with Upgraded Sound System

    “…tuned correctly.”, is the key. Thought my system sounded pretty good after the LC7i install (it was better than the stock processing going on). Then, my cousin told me the bass was drowned out. Was kinda thinking that, but thought it was me. At first I tried adjusting at the radio equalizer...

    GEN 2 Correct replacement phasers

    So, I have first hand experience with FTML. He just did a timing chain and cam phaser service on my truck. I’m here to tell you the cold startup noise is gone!!! Amazing. Looks like that part number is a winner. I’ve put about 1500mi on it already since the service; drive from FTML’s shop to...

    CEL after Morimoto T-Stat Install?

    So, just had some services completed by FordTechMakuloco this past week. Timing chain & associated components, rear differential fluid exchange, cooling system flush, spark plugs, and valve walnut blasting. For the flush I had a few components on hand already. One being the OEM thermostat...

    Wheel spacer - good or bad

    That’s what makes Bora’s design so innovative. You lose no thread protrusion… because a new set of unobstructed lugs are provided. The “hub centric” spacers bolts up to the hub via supplied lug-nuts, then the wheels bolt up to lugs on the spacers.

    Zen Carbon Fiber Custom Steering Wheel

    D@mn it!!! Just said I wasn’t spending anymore money on mods. Just dropped $4500 bucks on maintenance… timing chain, coolant flush, rear differential service, and plugs. Guess I lied to myself… I gotta have that steering wheel!!! Already got an idea of what I want on from the list of options on...

    Wheel spacer - good or bad

    I second the Bora recommendation!!! Did my research before purchasing. Also, called to ask some specific questions. They won me over, so I bought a set. Definitely not your run of the auto part store spacers. Quality materials, great installation instructions/ videos, and tech support...
