The new/updated I put in starts to open at 195, I verified by boiling it. It also has 90.6C stamped/etched on it, which is 195.08F. The Motorad one (right) looks like a cheap piece of crap for $11 from Autozone and it seems like a 170F one. It has "Motorad 1021" on it, I don't care if it...

From my understanding the old part was all metal body of the thermostat, the new updated one has a plastic piece and what feels like a softer spring, so opens up sooner, but per my research of specs, doesn't fully open until 217F. That aftermarket (non-Motorcraft) probably opened at 212F, as...

Yea, on a F150 3.5 ecoboost twin-turbo, I'm fine with tad higher temps, but not that high sustained under virtually no load. We were seeing blips of 230F, and then even 245F when towing a RV trailer last summer. At 250F, turbos get cut and fail-safe mode shortly after that comes on, which we...

Just to give you tiny bit of feedback. I finally found time and got courage to tear into the engine. Guess what thermostat brand was NOT in the engine despite the shop assuring me it was Motorcraft? Ding ding ding, was not Motorcraft. Now it is and engine is good 15 degrees cooler for sure. I...

Yup ours is '17 Platinum, which I believe is very close (but not the same) as your HO variant, but it is the same gen2. Yeah I'm hoping rad doesn't have blockage, I've done a flush, but I'm seeing large (like 40+ degrees on upper vs lower rad hose). However, on the Bullitt the upper and lower is...

Funny you say that and thank you for your feedback. I have this out on the F150 forum since I know this one isn't for that. Bought it used and from VIN service history, don't think phasers were done. I did have a leaking water pump and overheat condition, shop replaced pump, thermostat and...

I'd warranty that out stat. No way that should happen in under a year for what they charge for these. :(

Ya das pretty nice my guy!

Just reiterating I was referencing an F150, and twin-turbo at that. For sure my Mustang hasn't seen over 205.

Uh... I've seen wife's F150 hit easily over 225 plenty and even up in the 240s... I know I have an overheat condition and I'm trying to diagnose it, but that doesn't seem THAT high does it?

Precisely why I got dedicated winter booties for the Bullitt. I'll rather have a grin on my face on every commute than to sit in a beater rust pile. But to each their own!

I think precisely the reason why dash cams give you an option of turning off the microphone. Those settings should stay permanent when the cam cycles power off/on. Those stickers and warnings to me make the most sense in Ubers, or any ride-sharing service. For my own use, I find the likelyhood...

Dual channel for sure is the way to go. The 4K resolution and WDR cameras are a must. I'm sure your video might be compressed, but it is very dim. Hopefully your new set up is even better. Overall, dual dash cam is IMO #1 must-have mod to any vehicle. Got one in wife's truck, got one in my...

Yeah uh, you opening up upholstery shop so all of us can send you our bits to improve? I'm not sure if it's the pics, but the leather looks like the high quality ones they put quilted themes into, even the premium trim still has not great leather. Even comparing my 2019 Bullitt to wife's 2017...

Gon' be a happy wife! And if she isn't, I'll be your wife instead! :crackup: Sometimes I get sad with the Bullitt - all these visual mods I'm seeing are cool, but I'm torn in wanting to keep the Bullitt as close to stock and not add badging...

That looks similar to the one in the new CTR, at least from the material standpoint. Is that going to freeze to your hand in the winter and burn you in the summer? Or are you like me - leave the car always in 1st gear and never shifting? My commute can be managed redlining 1st gear for 20min...

I assume you got one of those thin plastic remotes that has R, G, B and then various color combos for buttons. That must control a module within the bulb via radio frequency. I'm guessing there's modules out there that would interface this to what the car has. But I probably make it sound way...

Joining others in congratulating you, that does look like a lot of work and looks well done. Now if you could sync the colors to the MyColor on the dash/door handles/footwells, that would be freaking awesome. I'd assume you could tho, with a module, since those are just RGB LEDs much like you...

Stop snorting milk then! :giggle:

Uh... "My neighbor's wife..." "fixed it deep enough" :crackup:
