So few months ago I upgraded my tires size from stock 265/65R17s to 265/70r17. I noticed a slight hit in mps but my speedometer was dead on per my GPS. Today I decided to program the correct tire circumference with forscan really to see if I gain back the mpgs but I did notice that my...
Well if what you are doing hasn't changed anything then do this. Stop driving it like an old lady and let the turbo actually work. that 1-2k rpm on accel the turbo isnt doing shit its all on that little 4 cylinder to get up to speed. You don't need to floor it but 2500-3500 will let the turbo...
Ive heard it's been hard for some people to get paid because of warranty people but there is a Ford op code for it now so it's really hard to say no to it.
OH for sure. Usually its no engine light = cya but There are advisors and managers that will make you still bringing it in and "inspect" it if nothing else for the multipoint. Then again it is 110 out so a test drive in the AC to "verify" the concern might be needed.
But yeah if MPGs are...
My mom has a 21 4x2 with nothing done to it, she will get 24-26mpgs but she babies the crap out of it and runs premium. I get 21 on average in my fx4 that has slightly bigger tires and a level and I run regular, I don't baby it but I also don't run wide open throttle when the light turns green...
As a ford dealer tech, the dealer isn't going to do anything about your MPGs Ford does not warranty fuel economy issues. If there is no check engine light on or no other obvious issues there is really nothing else to do. My 19 4x4 gets 20-21 on the dash, manually calculating fill ups its...
I posted these in the what did you do with your ranger thread but seems fitting here also. Most of the day was just trail riding but this section of the "road" is nice and washed out.
So now I am kinda torn between the Eibachs and the Fox 2.0s. I don't do any high speed desert running but I also don't want a harsh ride either. Having to rebuild the foxes is kind of a turn off also, I am a mechanic but that means I want to work on my own vehicles even less..
the 2R package that includes the rear shocks with reservoirs is about as much as the 2.0s ad shackles... so Might end up with those and the disconnects.
I wont get the bonus until next February so I have time to plan stuff
Currently on my 19 FX4 I have a BDS level kit that is performing well off road but I want to get some better performance out of it. I do not plan on changing wheels or tire size, I am running on Steel bronco 17in wheels on 265/70R17s and the Grabbers have proven well in the mud and sand.
I am...
It was. With this year's bonus I will be getting eibach coilovers and bds shackles. Might get swaybar disconnects also. Should help with the 3 wheeling some
