    2011 Molten Orange 6.2l 95k mikes. SOLD

    The truck does have one bad scratch in the drivers rear flare, it is mostly in the clear bra (all the forward faces have PPF) Any questions feel free to reach out. This vehicle is 1/4 in my fleet, and I am a bachelor. Time to downsize!

    2011 Molten Orange 6.2l 95k mikes. SOLD

    Seat pics, some pigment checking in the fronts: I rebuilt the drivers seat last year with new foam, and replaced the heaters. There is a write up in the how to's section showing the work.

    6.2 What headers to go with Corsa extreme exhaust?

    Pick your headers for quality. They don't have too much effect on sound (other than making things louder) A big part of the modern mustang sound is the 4v engine, cam profile, the wide VVT spread, and the exhaust crossover. If you want that raspy rev and cackle you will need to go to an x pipe...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    So now were talking about 10,000 hp raptors? I can think of something more unrealistic, but it will take a few moments. And yes, you can have a 2.5l engine with a good torque curve. In fact, ford has one in the current generation f150, the 2.7l ecoboost. 335hp, 400ft lbs at 2750rpm. More than...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    Roadkill did one in a 68. You can tell they started having problems with the Dodge (fiat) interface. If you wanted to be simple there is a gen 3 hemi carb intake!. Stick a set of turbo's and a carb on a hellcat and it would come to life with no nanny state controls :). Or run the Hellcat on a...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    Technology will change, and there are some way above average enthusiasts out there. Someone will eventually hack the BCM and the average guy will be able to put whatever they want in. In fact, if you have an early gen 1 it really isn't a problem at all, just have to rewire the power window...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    This statement is such a fallacy. Of course there is, technology is one route, efficiency is one route, forced induction is one route. Or combine them like ford did in the 3.5l and you get a tiny little factory motor that produces more torque and WAY more horsepower than the ford 7.5l (460).

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    Of course you do. You are going to defend what you have regardless of its worth or status, that is human nature. I do the same. I like my 6.2l just fine. But if it blew up and I was going to replace it I would look long and hard at other more efficient, more powerful options. No deviation from...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    It's funny, we debate this. When the gen 2 lightning came out it made 360hp and everyone thought it was ludicrous. Now we are being petty over what amounts to being a displacement number. Either engine makes more hp and torque than any gas truck engine from before 2009, except the 460 or 454...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    I am not talking drag racing anything. I am talking about 3000 RPM and beyond. The coyote has more than enough torque to move one of these trucks stop light to stop light. There is nothing not streetable about an engine that makes 350+ ft lbs from 2500 rpm to 6500 rpm.

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    I am not comparing a mustang to anything. i am talking strictly power numbers. 6600 lb truck. Gen 1 mustang coyote engine 412 hp Gen 2 mustang coyote engine 430 hp Gen 3 mustang coyote engine 460 hp Difference between the car and truck is exhaust cam profile and manifold design. VVT, Variable...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    Ok, any mustang coyote with the 6r80 will outrun it everywhere except 0-25mph. By then the coyote is in its power band, and the weight difference combined with the increased horsepower will allow the coyote to freight train the 6.2l. The 6r80 is a 4.17 1st and the 10 is a 4.70, the 10 speed is a...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    Don't know why the OP is doing the coyote swap, but it certainly has merit... Coyote is 200 lbs lighter, I would love to pull 200lbs off the nose of this piggy Coyote has a huge aftermarket, cams, blowers, turbos on and on. Gen 2+ have sinter forged rods and pistons and are happy at 700whp in an...

    Brake problem

    Put the problem corner up on a jack and stand. Spin the wheel by hand and listen. Try to isolate the noise. Next pull off the wheel and run your fingers over the rotor from 12-6 oclock, is it smooth or does it have ridges? Finger the back side and compare. Pull the pads off, rotate the spindle...

    Cleaning OEM Seat Covers

    The oem covers are expensive! The foams aren't too bad though, and its unlikely the rear foams got damaged if the seats were sitting as pictured... unless it was a very vindictive mouse!

    Cleaning OEM Seat Covers

    Raptor specific cleaner? Does it use dinosaur tears or something? I mean, is there something about these seats that makes them different from every other cloth and leather seat produced for the last 100 years? Look at my write up on seat upholstery in the how to section. Use it to remove the...
