I ran mine in series and am glad I did. I wheel in Oregon and it's a lot of tight, hilly, low speed runs. With a new radiator and fresh fluids I was seeing 260 at times. Even with the cooler in series I see up to 230 or so at times. For that kind of work I'd definitely recommend doing it in...

Just my .02 but I did the Tundra brakes with a 13WE 199mm caliper and was extremely happy I did so. I bought a callahan kit with drilled/slotted rotors, calipers, and pads. Ended up tossing the crap rotors and getting some OEMs and wish I'd gone with a different pad, but I'm overall very happy...

285s will definitely rub on stock suspension iF you are going offroad and flexing at all. 265/75/16 will fit with stock suspension and look good although it can also rub in certain conditions. If the vehicle is going to see offroad duty I'd strongly recommend a body lift if you want to clear...

Super happy with it! It's definitely not a rocket ship, but it brings it to modern day standards of driveability. With the 7th injector and AFR calibrator it has zero ping and loads of torque, I can put it in cruise control at 60 and it won't come out of overdrive until you get to a pretty steep...

I'm a Ford service advisor with 5 years experience. Your buddy doesn't know what he's talking about, period. I 100% guarantee if they recommended plugs and coils it's because he's got a serious misfire. The truck almost certainly has a 5.4 3v engine which is a very difficult spark plug...

Technically he said it wasn't planned right now, but that he was open to suggestions. Frankly, if Ford really want's to eat Jeep's lunch a base model w/ the sasquatch package is the way to do it

I'm a Ford service advisor with 4 years experience and I have to say I am completely stoked for this! It's honestly even better than I hoped- and I'm no Ford fanboy the launch of the 20 Explorer and Escape have been completely bungled and the vehicles are having all kinds of issues. That said...

Did this also, got messed up when I folded the mirror

I have the same issue on my 02 on the driver side. Two of the 3 screws are seized in place, but I was able to improve it by tightening the one that I could get to move. At some point I'll extract the screws and see if that resolves it

That looks like hot dog shit

Yeah they're really pretty darn quick, 2.0 liter turbo on the newer ones which is the same engine as the Focus ST

Agreed, in my experience it has excellent acceleration in first up to approx 40mph, then a looooong shift in to 2nd that tops out around 75mph. 1st gear goes by in a hurry tho. I wonder what it could do with a more modern transmission, my wife drives an escape with 245 hp and 275 torque which...

Would buy 3rd gen front bumper

Gosh you're right, an internet forum is no place for BSing about inconsequential topics. At least it's good to know my number is "correct"
