Shell Rotella T6 5w40 no longer carries the API gas engine rating. Only Shell T6 5w30 has a mix fleet rating. Stick with oils with the SN+ and GM Dexo1 Gen2 rating for LSPI mitigation with reduced calcium levels.

Primary goal for automotive engineers today is to meet CAFE ratings. Nothing to do on which oil is better for the engine but to follow the corporate policy in meeting CAFE. That's why we see 0w16 and 0w20 recommendations here in the US yet in other parts of the world the same engines will use a...

Just a heads up Chevron Delo 400 XSP 5w40 SN+ and Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 SN rated for gasoline engines.

The only reason I would buy a Colorado is for the Duramax. I prefer low end grunt vs. high end HP. That's why I'm driving a F150 with the 2.7L and not the 5.0L V8.

I have a Lomax on my F150. Great cover and excellent customer service.

Complete BS. It's a good idea not to go beat on any forced induction engine while it's still cold though.

I rather see the new 3.0L EB in the upcoming Raptor. It's lighter than the 2.7L (being all aluminum vs. CGI) and can put out up to 400hp.

Ford's advertised HP/TQ numbers using 87 octane. There is a gain by using premium though.

Personally I would only stick with tuners that retains the OAR. Won't be as aggressive power wise compared to other tuners with OAR disabled but does give extra protection if you get bad fuel, mismatched fuel or when premium isn't available.

I particularly like the Wildtrak DV8 conversion.

I'm using Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax mixed with distilled water in a spray bottle for spot cleaning. https://optimumcarcare.com/product/optimum-no-rinse-wash-wax1

Yeah it sucks. If your going to drive it crap is going to happen. At least it wasn't a piece of steel that punctured the hood like what happened to me on my Dodge Ram.

Try white vinegar.

Like Forscan it's disabling the BMS hence the warning message on the display at startup. Can do the same by simply unplugging the connector from the BMS sensor on the battery.

From what I have read it actually programs the ECM much like using Forscan. So it can be removed after programming and no other intervention is required.

Yep. Even my 1984 Mustang SVO and 1989 Merkur XR4Ti only made 175HP with a turbocharged 2.3L.

Dammit I want one! :D

Should be minimal for normal driving since the turbo is liquid cooled. Little risk of bearing coking using synthetic oil. Towing is different story but A.S.S. should automatically be disabled when in Tow/Haul mode (at least it does on the F150). With that said I did disable A.S.S. on my truck.

Before cutting the crash bars try using a hydraulic ram to spread the bars out for the additional clearance.

To give an idea here's my old Ram 2500 with black exhaust and a smoked chrome exhaust tip from Flo-Pro.
