After reading about the problums on 2.3 Ecoboost thread and Fords recall for the over heating problum its having I'm glad I got the V6. I see Ford taking the 3.5 V6 600 hp replacing the 5.0 in the future. The 2017 Ford rapter pickup will have the 3.5 V6 600 hp.
As a old drag racer from the mid 60's use to power brake a auto transmission but read this in the owner manual of my 2015 stang pg 136 WARNINGS.
Do not apply the brake pedal and accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously for more than three seconds will limit...
I think the Ecoboost is over rated for the $, I looked at the 5.0 when I bought my V6 a year ago wasn't ready to spend $35,000. I got my V6 stange for $23,000 and with $800.00 mods I've played with the Ecoboost and the 5.0 in southeast florida on I 95 and neither one pulled away, in fact I've...

JLT oil separator
No, there's only for the passenger side vent there's no vent on the driver side very easy to install hoses already attached to separator just disconnect the stock hoses from the valve cover and air intake and install the separator. Check it about every 2500 to 3000 miles...
Yes, very much worth the $$, I put one in my 2015 V6 stang at 5000 miles and at 7000 I checked to see the amount of oil it trapped and was about 1/3 full. From what I understand it traps the oil at high RPM's.
I paddle shift in S sport all the time, never see D drive, shifting at 3000 rpm's is smooth, shifting under hard power or high rpm's is very hard and crisp.
First oil change
Go to pg 418 Owners manual should be around 5000 miles and should be free at your Ford dealer after that $50.00 also read at the bottom of the pg and see what else they are required to do. To make sure they rotate your tires take a black sharpie mark on the drivers front DF and...
