Fuel dilution on the 2.3 Ecoboost is extremely common, and 2.5% isn’t catastrophic — but it is enough for Blackstone to flag viscosity issues. The first thing to understand is that the 2.3 is a direct-injected turbo engine, and DI motors naturally run higher fuel dilution than old port-injected...

Its job is to report the pressure drop across the EGR passages so the PCM knows exactly how much exhaust gas is being recirculated. These sensors don’t fail because of temperature readings; they fail because the internal silicone/gel diaphragm breaks down over time from heat and exhaust...

A 2019 Kia Sorento on AT tires and a disconnected front sway bar made it up Hell’s Gate in Moab — which should tell you something about how far setup, articulation, and driver understanding go compared to just throwing expensive parts at a truck. More down-travel and consistent tire contact...

After seeing intake threads go in circles, I wanted to lay out what actually matters on this platform. The Ranger’s stock intake is already a cold-air intake, and Ford engineered it around stable airflow, water management, and consistent temperature readings — not flashy looks or loud noises. It...

There’s some bad information floating around about K&N filters and the old MAF-sensor oiling myths, but that doesn’t apply to the Ranger at all. If someone wants maximum filtration efficiency, they should stick to a standard paper filter like Fram or the OEM Motorcraft—those filter far better...
