did this mod to my 2015 gt auto. cht at steady state on highway dropped from 210 to 195. im worried that its too cool. i mean the t-stat opens at 180 and im only 15 degrees above that. in the winter when the t-stat opens will the cold air cause the cht to plummet and make the t-stat cycle on/off...
regarding the roll center correcting arms. can anyone explain why its a one size fits all? i mean if you are lowered 0.5 in v 1.5 inch wouldnt you need a differing length of ball joint extension?
due to a trans overheat during a track day, i decided to install the mishimoto trans cooler.
overall a fairly straightforward install, although it is messy due to trans fluid getting all over. thought i would share a couple of tips. i noticed there are no instructional videos for this and the...
just a note on installing this. the ac condenser line fits in between the trans lines and the radiator. this means you have to position the trans lines first, then drop the cooler in and connect it to the lines in vivo. see pic. otherwise you will not be able to fit the lower ac condenser tab...
put some motorkote in the car yesterday. averaged 30.6 mpg over 60 miles of highway driving. before it was around 28. cht remained the same. cant recommend it yet as it supposedly has chlorine in it and im not sure it wont nuke my engine, but im pretty sure it increases fuel economy.
if cht was the only problem i suspect a larger radiator + a high output water pump like the one here would help. strangely i didnt see any references to changing water pump in my perusals of cooling thread...
cht was 230
trans temp was 240
i didnt check oil temp
diff is traction loc with 3.15 final drive so im pretty sure that didnt overheat.
its a 2015 so no diff temp sensor
plan on putting in pp radiator.
not sure what pumps trans fluid thru cooler but i imagine if you daisy chain two coolers the...
as far as trans coolers go for automatics, which is the most effective? i have a mishimoto on order.
there is also a pwr but it is a tube/fin design. the setrab one is not plug and play so i didnt go for it. can anyone attest to the temp drop with the mishimoto? i went into limp mode at RA a few...
wrapped exhaust near diff and added bg ultraguard ls 75w90 to diff. i had this idea that if i added 4 oz of motorcraft friction modifier it might help diff temps more. has anyone tried this/opinions?
just installed steeda minimum drops. stance looks flat. measured 27.5 in from floor to fender on all 4 corners. upgraded from pp1 springset on a 2015 gt premium auto with koni sports. less squat and dive. possibly less roll. strangely it rides smoother now with the stiffer springs? probably the...
most people say the one with rubber grommet is the trailing pin and should go on the top position on our cars. however, i just took mine apart and the one with the grommet was on bottom. so im not sure. i dont always trust the ford factory to install things properly.
