So this may be a stupid answer/someone may have suggested it already but could it be the torque converter locking up causing the jerk? I always thought that’s what it was on my V6. I also have about an inch of play in my driveshaft that Ford refuses to fix which can make a slight jerk motion at...
I have to agree with you on that. Probably just some confirmatory sampling done on my end. :headbonk: The tune seems necessary to get anything out of increased octane.
I have a question about the impact of higher octane gas on a bolt on V6. I have a larger intake pipe, GT throttle body and GT exhaust currently on my car. I have run Shell 87 since it was new and just filled up my tank today with Shell 93. I understand the basics of octane and the purpose of...
Alright I have a question about these but it may be a stupid one...I’m going to ask anyways. If Ford says the engines ideal operating temperature is 190-200 F is it safe for the engine to run at 175-185 F like most people report? Will it wear faster or stay stuck in “warm up” mode?
I think the models are just on different timelines as far as performance advancement goes. One jumps ahead then the other takes a few years to jump back into contention, but they always stay more or less competitive with one another.
Hey fordguys550! Do you think the 170 Tstat would be fine for a Northeast winter? I can’t imagine why it would be a problem since it just opens up the coolant earlier but you seem to have a solid understanding of this! Thanks!
OHH can you feel it haha and if you put enough miles on, even with zero toe, you can see it in the wear of the tire. I am at -1.5 up front with 0 toe and after 15,000 miles my inner wheel tread is just barely, but noticeably, more worn than the outside shoulders.
Yea I thought the same thing! Brought my mustang to 2 dealers and they said it was normal. I'm not sure I buy that its "normal" but it definitely is apparent on many S550 V6s out there.
Tunes do seem to be the way to go! MPT I think is the company that makes the most highly regarded tunes...
This is awesome!!! Any chance you could make these wheels with a leather top and bottom and alcantara on the 3 and 9 o'clock? You guys make some sweet steering wheels!
