How are you guys getting around the artificial engine noise?? I wanted to get the LC2 module, but I'm worried my sub is going to have engine noise through it.

This is still pretty persistent for me. Engine cover didn't change anything. 100% coming from the rear. I had the car on ramps, and I can hear it clear as day in the garage. Accelerate over 60 (the car does NOT like that on ramps), let off throttle, and the noise happens. It almost sounds like...

Any update on this? How is the larger turbo holding up? Stock heat range plugs?

$75 Detroit Area/Michigan. You cover shipping if you want too. 15k miles, they have seen two northern michigan winters (the surface rust). But still have the OEM tags on it/good shape.

It's the same pitch at the same duration, for me anyways. Like three short, quick pulses

When going 70+ mph, shift into neutral. The noise doesn't happen. But I assume this is the equivalent of letting off the throttle. (In terms of the rear end). I honestly think it's the exhaust. I installed the Gibson system, and I don't hear it at all anymore. But the exhaust is a few decibels...

I PMd you

I actually just installed the Lariat foam engine cover, and it's much less noisy now. I'm honestly thinking this is just normal, I'm not sure if the HPFP is just "breaking in" or what. I drove a 1.6 EB in an escape as a rental, and it had the exact identical buzzing noise. At this point, I...

Any update on this? I have this same issue. Shutter noise from the rear when deaccelerating when above 55mph. It's really really hard to pinpoint. Doesn't sound like a pinion bearing or a wheel hub, but close. It also only last for a brief moment

I find it intresting the battery remains intact, the sync screen still happily displays after the front end is basically gone lol.

With the engine off, right? I wouldn't fret over 2-3 tenths of a volt. And i've had different reading with my fluke vs a crappy walmart meter. I also notice a voltage drop when the doors are open, as the car seems to power up a decent amount of accessories.

Looking for the Fox 2.0 "Stage 1" suspension kit, or similar coil over/shock setup. Thanks!

The R&D follow along is awesome. I wonder why only the Ranger 2.3 has that little filter elbow piece. I don't think the Mustang or Focus does... Doesn't seem like a piece of fabric would do much.

I didn't have this noise for 20k+ miles. I did a few 0-60 spurt runs to get a baseline, and I developed this buzzing. I guarantee it wasn't there before I made a few WOT pulls (for the first time from a dead stop, actually). It's pretty annoying, I thought I messed something up. I was actually...

It seems the NGK 6510 are still the choice, as with other EB engines. I ended up sourcing a pack of SP578s for now. But I do have a 5* tune I'd like to run eventually, and might might give the 6510s a shot. I had issues with early fouling on a step colder plug in my 3.5.

Strange. My plugs are indeed SP542 I pulled out. I did have them replaced during a TSB awhile ago. I wonder why they switched them out.

I unfortunately dropped a plug and cracked the porcelain. Looks like our stock plugs are Motorcraft #SP542. Pretty sure these have a heat range of "8". I know it was pretty standard to drop to one step colder on the 2.3 in the Mustang/RS. (Assuming a tune) Anybody swapped to NGKs or similar...

I have 22k miles. Cold dip stick read is always on the money for the last 4k miles. But my dipstick does smell like gas, much more than my 2.0 in the Focus.

Anybody know of any aftermarket, or other Ford vehicle steering wheels that can be swapped to the ranger? I know it sounds strange, but my only dislike with the truck is the wheel. I have the leather wrapped one, but it's just too bulky and ugly. Compared to my Focus ST, it's horrible. I know...
