Probably a simple question, but I cant find anything definitive I have a Lund tune with nGauge on my 2016 GT. I also have a 2013 5.0 F150 that is throwing codes and I'd like to use the nGauge to read the codes and do some datalogging to help diagnose the issue. The truck is not tuned. Can I...

I got mine off using about 4 extensions snapped together. I thought for sure something would break but it worked for me.

I’m not new to performance cars, but I swear my mild bolt-on 2016 GT is more impacted by weather changes than any other car I’ve had before. In hot air during the summer the car just feels lazy and I’m always wishing for more power. Now that the weather is cooling off I remember how hard it...

Wet Okole doesn’t list the Recaros as an option on their site, but they do make them for regular GT Recaros. I had to contact them directly. You may want to do the same to see about the GT350 Recaros.

E85 on a flex tune will perform almost identical to *really good* 93 on a 93 tune.

Fwiw I always get a p0135 when going from aftermarket (Lund) time back To stock, but have never gotten one going from stock to Lund tune. The current firmware of a Lund ngauge will perform a crank relearn, but the older versions don’t. AFAIK every Sct x4 device will also do it.

I have about 1200 miles on my Exedy Mach 500 clutch and flywheel. I replaced the concentric slave cylinder with a new Exedy unit, and the pilot bearing with a McLeod sintered bronze bushing. Clutch works great. Feels nice. Only weird issue I have is this: When the car is cold (after sitting...

Longubes and factory catback should do the trick

How do you think they eliminate the cat inefficiency code? Your rear 02’s are not being read. They are effectively “turned off”.

Not really. Turning off the rear 02’s is how tuners eliminate the cat inefficiency codes. Some of the mainstream tuners do this, others won’t. My rear 02s are disabled in the tune and they aren’t even on the car since my TSP longtubes don’t have provisions for them anyway. Only issue with doing...

The 80s were sad times for car guys.

I had zero issues with my mt82 in stock form. I have since added an Exedy clutch, stainless hydraulic line, and MGW shifter. The feel is much improved, but honestly it was fine to begin with. Probably one of the slickest transmissions I’ve driven in a while now. Those of you complaining about...

Full exhaust and e85 will get pretty close.

Toss the rear ones, sure. But without the widebands I would guess the car would just default into a closed loop limp mode of some kind. I sure wouldn’t run it that way.

That was very difficult to read. But it sounds like it could just be an issue with the factory clutch not wanting to fully disengage about 7k.
