Zero issues. Used it most of last winter. Maybe check the heating elements?
Yeah, I'm gonna look at all of the wiring I did this weekend. My biggest fear was that I was frying a wire in the clock spring itself, but if yours is working fine that sounds reassuring. Thanks!

Are you satisfied with your PB upgrade? Any issues, tips, concerns ?
They work as intended. They offer many configurations. Zero issues since installation. In fact I'm going to be upgrading my Mustang to one of their kits with 8 piston in the near future.

Did multiple Forscan changes. Dark mode, disabled IPC welcome screen, bambi mode, chimes only from the IPC (no longer from speakers).

Not sure yet
You send in yours to get worked on.
Thanks for the response. Can you attach a link or info regarding where to send to? I will have to keep this in mind when I get my Ranger. Don't want to do too many things to the motor as far as mods, but this seems simple enough and its benefit regarding improved MPG definitely intrigue me :like:

Finally decided to revisit the sway bar disconnects. The first set worked well and quick with no tools but ended up very clanky after the grease pushed out. Found these off the shelf Rough Country ( yeah, yeah, save the anti Rough Country opinions) and they seem to fit nicely. While they are overall shorter that brings the sway bar closer to the stock position for a lifted setup. Doesn't feel as tight as the all steel ones but there's no noise as of driving it around the block. To remove these you may need a prybar and a pair of channel locks to reinstall the pin. I'll take that over the clanking. Disclaimer: try these at your own risk. Part Number 1146. These are for a jeep.

Christmas finally happened. Should help with the top heavy and lifted rear of the truck since Ford
didn't bother with one. 95% on road will benefit from this. And would only take a few minutes to unbolt before i take off to offroad. Took a couple hours but it's done.

Did you get the rear sway bar because you are towing? I'm considering it since our travel trailer is pretty heavy.

I don't tow. It's lifted with a shell. Want less sway on road.

Time to try this experiment. Intake manifold spacer. Testing the general rule that longer intake runners usually help with low speed cylinder filling. Stock intake has pretty short runners. Higher rpm gains are not expected. Looking for more low end for drivability and mileage. If this does what I believe it will the low speed should pick up and I'll need to give it less throttle before getting into boost. It wants to get into boost at the lightest throttle and that helps kill mileage. Have to say that the way the port dividers are machined this should help with the flow over the other designs (orange spacer shown for example) and non divider style with some venturi effect.
