Hey brother, it's my first new vehicle. I knew sport mode was manual shift, but I assumed the engine would shift automatically before it hit redline. Now I know it doesn't if it is touched. It didn't and that was a user error i.e. me, but I was concerned more so about the damaged I caused, if...
I probably should have worded the post differently.
I didn't actually go over red line, I bumped red line on a brand new truck. In other words, I hit ~6,000 RPM because I was under the impression that the sport mode would shift automatically. The engine never went inside the redline.
Every vehicle I have owned has had some form of exhaust. From my 94' K1500 with the sbc, 2010 Ranger, all the way to my 250 Recon that had an exhaust right up until I sold her.
I knew that FlowMaster always had the signature sound for the longest time. You could tell a Flowmaster apart from...
I was going to post a clip, but the file is too large. You can hear my truck across my neighborhood when you give her throttle. It’s pretty loud per my standards. Not FlowMaster Super 10 loud, but louder than my 2010 4.0 with cats/straight pipe.
I actually just bought this setup two weeks ago. My channel is in the comments of those videos. I am AtillaFilms! I want to post a sound clip myself with an install I recorded. Problem is that it's always raining.
My goal is for -24mm offset on 18x10s. My 2010 Ranger has 18x12s with just 2.5" leveling kit. Now,I know this is a completely different platform, but I absolutely love the look of tires poking out. Do you all thinks it's possible? I don't care to stretch tires, I love some ether mounts.
So technically, my engine has already been broke in (i.e. rings sealed, etc) and since I already have 300 miles on it (enough heat cycles) I shouldn't have caused damage at all, but something I don't need to do often.
These trucks are SUPER quick by the way! Honestly wouldn't know you're in a...
If that’s the case why does it mention not to be hard on the engine until you change oil the first time? I’m not questioning anyone I’m just worried about my truck. I feel awful for accidentally hitting redline. Spirited driving is not my thing in something I owe for. First new vehicle too. I...
Thanks for easing my mind! So you don’t believe I’ve scored the cylinder walls or done anything to the engine? She does sound very nice rolling through the RPMs. Reminds me of the Focus.
Well, silly me didn’t read through my manual. I have 380 miles on my truck and had decided to test out sport mode. Little did I know the truck would not shift by itself (like my old yota) and ran the truck all the way up through red line and backed off QUICKLY while sobbing. I assumed that sport...
