  1. Correlation between E85 and premature O2 sensor failures

    Thank you for the info on the Bosch data sheet. Based on that 10 degree requirement, I think it's reasonable to assume that might help mitigate normal condensation and potentially any debris regardless of fuel type. My assertion is that, post engine shutoff (engine up to full temp), regardless...
  2. Correlation between E85 and premature O2 sensor failures

    After engine shutdown would the exhaust not be subjected to atmospheric humidity? How would E85 change anything with regards to ambient humidity? Also, if that statement were true and rapid heating of condensation caused stress fractures in the o2 ceramic, then anyone starting their car on a...
  3. Correlation between E85 and premature O2 sensor failures

    There's lots of other issues with water being absorbed by E85 in the tank. I'm specifically looking to understand how E85 (varying levels of water contamination or not) could damage an O2 sensor. What mechanism allows condensation to form on the sensor?
  4. Correlation between E85 and premature O2 sensor failures

    I'm debating on a set of headers and unfortunately I've found myself down a rabbit hole torn between trying to understand anecdotal internet tales and a logical understanding of the relationship between E85 and how it may contribute to damaged O2 sensors. The reccomended fix here, when switching...
  5. Going from stang to truck

    Get the TRX, you won't regret it. I also reccomend trying to get a 22+ as they have uconnect5 vs the 21's uconnect4.
  6. Installing MGW short shifter in a few days - To disconnect or not the driveshaft?

    Don't need to disconnect the exhaust or driveshaft. I did mine in a few hours without needing to disconnect them.
  7. FP Rear shock leak?

    I took it out of storage and drove it around the local area. Car would make a clunk going over bumps. It also handled terribly. I popped the trunk and pushed on each corner until I was able to replicate the noise. It was the bump stop contacting during compression. Found the rear drivers side...
  8. FP Rear shock leak?

    Mine did the same thing while my car was in storage during a deployment. Came back to the shock having emptied itself onto the garage floor. Same shock location too. Only 2 years old and Ford refused to cover it under warranty unless a technician saw the issue and replaced it. Three week...
  9. splash guards/mud flaps

    Love my Rokblokz and the clean look. Stick out just enough to protect the paint but very subtle. I liked them so much I put a set on my truck.
  10. MT-82 second gear lockout about 7000rpm

    I had pretty bad lockout on 2nd gear shifts before my shifter. I added an MGW and now you can grip and rip all day at redline without lockout.
  11. Sport 4 S. Cold temps, normal driving ?

    I drove on MPS4S occasionally last season here in Colorado. As long as it was over 32 degrees I felt ok driving on them (as long as there's no snow or ice) however below 40 and they're very hard and don't have a lot of grip. Easy to do burnouts from a light though, haha. Absolutely...
  12. Is a resonator delete too much living in an apartment?

    I reccomend catless long tubes and a flowmaster outlaw. Also be sure to back the car up to a wall for those cold starts. Shouldn't be louder than a mouse.
  13. Filter and fluid change

    Well if you're trying to make coffee, I like to use the disposable 8-12 cup coffee filters and water. If you're talking about oil, I'd look in the owners manual.
  14. Interesting/Annoying Traction Behavior

    This guy is unbelievablely obnoxious but it's the best quick video I could find showing where the plug is: Abs will not be impacted. It will throw a couple lights on the dash until the plug is plugged back in. It will completely disable all traction and stability control so be ready for all...
  15. Interesting/Annoying Traction Behavior

    I'm curious if any of the nannies are acting up. I'd recommend unplugging the dyno/nanny plug and seeing the problem persisits. Low hanging fruit that's easy to eliminate. When I tried inducing oversteer/dial in slip angle on a skid pad it was damn near impossible to get the car to react...
  16. Opinions On Needed Paint Correction?

    I'd talk to a correction place and get their take. They should be able to measure how much clear the kid blew through with his "detailing" attempt. Let them know the back story and see how much clear they still have to work with. I had a 2 step correction done on mine because the previous...
  17. S550 mustang floating at high speeds

    Can you post your alignment specs? Car should not have instability with a proper alignment. I'm on the Ford lowering Springs as part of their track pack and on MPS4S 325 rears and 305 fronts. No problem tracking straight at the factory limiter of 155. Front end does get a bit lighter but the...
  18. So I just drove a A10 Mustang GT for the first time

    There are drivers and there are passengers. I know I prefer the former.
  19. CEL after oil change and gas

    Any autozone or OReillys will scan the car and give you a print out of the codes for free.
  20. Wheel lug torque

    It indicates the strength of that type of bolt.
