I used ATF, but if you are in a hot climate, I would use something thicker like the AW fluid. The ATF is fairly thin and has a tendency to weep out a little bit. I'm too lazy to change mine though, so for now ATF is the order of the day.

Haven't tried it yet to be honest. I bought it used from a guy who said he lifted his expedition with no problems. Truth be told, my Ram is so high (Big horn package) that I probably don't need to use it. I think I would need it to drop a tranny though. I will say it lifts my 4400# minivan...

I've had mine for over a year now. I made wood blocks with a 2x4 and it works great for my GT (Not sure about convertibles or cobras). Just make sure the part that touches the pinch welds are perpendicular to the wood grain. I actually have several different sets of blocks for each of my...

If you're a mother, Happy Mother's Day (And what a cool Mom to have a 'Stang) If you're not, free reminder: Call your Mom! :)

One of my neighbors used to work for Millenworks as an engineer (Yes, Steve Millen part of the Stillen franchise). Back in the late 2000's he was working with a military style ATV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MillenWorks_Light_Utility_Vehicle) and we got onto the topic of active suspension...

JC, You got a few years on me, but my spine is in pretty rough shape so perhaps I can help. I have an older (15) model with the Performance Package, so I'm going to recommend something I don't have. Simply put, you will need the magnetic shocks. Nothing else is going to give you as much...

Koenigsegg++ The one car company that pushes engine tech to another level (FreeValve). Doesn't surprise me one bit re:Tesla. I mean who wouldn't want a car where you pay no use tax (Gasoline tax) yet get to use HOV lanes by yourself? Nevermind the fact that they cause more wear on the...

The problem with Scotty is because he thinks he knows everything about a car because he's had a customer that had one and it was crap (or good). Working on one or even 5 of a particular Dodge Ram (For example) doesn't mean they are all garbage. Saying that all thins newfangled tech means cars...

I was told by my grandmother (Decades ago) that my grandpa was the one that came up with the idea for Chrysler. He was a typical-for-the-era uneducated farm boy (Quit school in middle school to help his family farm) that was attracted to automotive manufacturing to help his family. (I say that...

A blue whale's tail produces 500 horsepower of thrust and it's heart is the size of a Volkswagen. source On the car trivia, Velocity (Or MT TV, or whatever it's called now) did a special on the history of the automobile. It's 4.5 hours long and is done really well.

For the engineers on here...Happy π day! Now, to make the requisite COVID-19 reference...The best I got is the name corona in the class of viruses that COVID-19 belongs to is because corona resembles a crown, and the virions resemble the corona/circle shape. So, using π, we could compute...

Emissions readiness checks :) I cannot remember the exact sequence used, but I think it is a combination of number of starts, coolant temps and possibly engine loads. It's basically how dieselgate worked - they new the conditions that the EPA used to measure emissions.

Hot rodding started when soldiers came back from WW2 and started bolting all kinds of stuff to the car. Using old driveshafts to make lake pipes, things like that. The spirit of modding, like it or not was about doing stuff like this. At one point there were no "staged" upgrades, no...

MMD had a kit with flowmaster. It was one of the cheaper options. https://www.americanmuscle.com/mmd-side-exhaust-with-rocker-panels-1517gt.html I love side exhausts, I am trying to shoe-horn Roush axlebacks into a side exit exhaust setup. it is almost impossible to have a SE exhaust without...

I'm actually out on travel for the next two weeks for work, but yeah when I get back I'll do a few data logs. If I don't post back, PM me - I get forgetful in my old age, especially after 2 weeks of travel.

Nope, but HP Tuners can :)

I know a few months ago there was discussion of the KAM re-learn, I wonder if that's where the magic is happening. Because as far as I know, you can't see the KAM data with HP, but you can reset it. We tried adding a little more fuel and it helped a tiny bit, but not by much. WOT lambda is...

Grimreaper - have you played around with the octane adjust? I'm curious what it does to the tune, and how it affects the kr. Yeah if you're seeing kr at 70* F with 93, no wonder we can literally hear it at 110* F and 91 octane gas. I noticed the change to per cylinder. In theory I like it...

Out here we've only had E10 since the early 2000's when MTBE was phased out due to big time groundwater contamination in Santa Monica. E10 is fine, the concerns about the sky falling is overblown. Yeah, you will get slightly worse gas mileage because ethanol has less energy content per gallon...
