They just needed to fix the range issue (and price issue)

As many know it was paused due to a fire at an aluminum supplier plant and low demand, but demand has been faltering lower and lower and now Ford may not be resuming production in any capacity. Alot of work went into it, it just didn’t deliver on range. One of the better looking EV’s in my...

Mine has done this since 0 miles when it was brand new, the floor vents are always open no matter the setting. Ford told me to kick rocks. Sorry I’m sure that doesn’t help lol.

You most definitely did not have an engine cover unless you added it yourself, has not been used in production for 2 years now. Mounting points are still there on all motors as they never changed the intake manifold.

They have had a handful of these over the years on here, it seems like on assembly they damage the rear main on some. One guy they put in a scored up crankshaft that was likely dropped at the factory and it ripped up the seal. Ford quality. They will fix it as the motor is fine. The 10R80 in...

I think your curve may be utilizing some old data from past gen’s, and is showing the 5.0 unfavorably in the low end. Fords crank graph for the 4th gen “truck” 5.0 has it up at 300 lb ft by 1,700 rpm where you show 250 lb ft. She is definitely making more than 260 lb ft at 2,000 by the butt dyno...

Merc makes a nice 383 Mag stroker with 350 HP for repowers, they also do MPI 350’s with 300 HP. Expensive as heck, there are cheaper options to get more juice. The 7.4 in my Formula makes 330, if it blows I’ll put in a new base model MerCruiser 8.2L Mag (380 HP), for $21,000 or so. That’s all...

@Samson16 This one?

I have always loved my lil fruit cup Area 51 blue truck 😍, calling it an Active would be icing on the cake 💋 Come on boys, hop in my Area 51 Blue Active Rainbow Supreme edition, I don’t bite ;)

So maybe not a misprint. It looks like the reduction in horsepower to the 3.5 in 2026 is a real thing and is GPF related per my dealer. There is currently no need or plans to add GPF system to the 5.0 or 2.7 as they produce lower levels of gasoline combustion particulate matter than the 3.5...

All DI is not created equal, the 3.5 as of now is a generation behind the 5.0 and 2.7 on the PI/DI fueling system. There is some good reading out there on the subject. Fuel dispersement, flame front, staging all have come a ways since DI was launched to manage soot and particulates. If the 3.5...

I dunno, if particulates were the issue they could have updated the 3.5 to the more modern 5.0 style fuel delivery system before slapping a GPF on there and sending it. Although likely cheaper…The 2.7 and 5.0 do run alot more high side pressure and have a more modern spray pattern for...

Kind of hard to tell, sometimes things get those in the casting process when it cools. If it’s not leaking I would probably just keep an eye on it. If that bolt is aluminum it’s extremely easy to mare up like that with even a box wrench.

I would go with a misprint, I believe manufacturers can advertise crankshaft horsepower within 5% or so. If you actually look at what they dyno and look at the correction factor the 5.0 typically IS 400 HP, the 3.5 usually translates a bit lower to upper 380- lower 390 range. It’s a torque...

The Expedition forum was pretty busy in its heyday of the 3rd gen’s (07-14 models), but the 4th gen model has never sold any real big volume so it’s tumbleweeds these days.

5.0 V8 and PowerBoost both have this unique erm *quirk*, the longer powertrain pushes the back of the pan of the drivetrain into a hard spot (longer engine block with two extra cylinders or the pancake inline electric motor). Something to be aware of. My opinion is you are better off with the...

Not always easy to tell by pulling the plug, have to do multiple pulls of it. If piston is headed toward BDC on intake stroke fuel was sprayed and not ignited. I had the same thought when I did the plugs on the 454 in my boat. Another cycle of the engine and it was a different plug, and then a...

Bring back the 6.2 V8 is about all I got

XLT has them, only TOD 4A trucks don’t have them…but to add to the confusion Raptor, Raptor R, and Tremor have them too even though they have 4A.

Been running 285/60R20 KO3 for 6 months now no complaints
