You can run up to e30 without crashing the pump.

Normal.

You should not have that sticker there. You can’t run full e85. You can actually run 25% and this gives you a nice octane boost advancing your for timing. You need to be careful and measure it correctly. Measure it accurately, and every 5th tank fill with standard to “reset” the tank .Run good...

You will probably find this interesting and helpful. The metal in the coolant is creating ground and your are measuring the strength, essentially.

5w-20 was a US only recommendation and turns out to be a huge mistake. There are plenty of 18 - 20 owners who did not have a major consumption issue and this is because they ran a higher viscosity oil from the get go. The revision of ring packs was not just a “fix” this issue, it was also in...

Our 5.0’s don’t have a true ethanol sensor. The percentage is a guesstimate based off the O2. General you will see MBT around e40 depending on the quality of the ethanol.

Most likely excessive wear on the piston rings or a stuck / clogged piston oil ring(s). What I would do first is run a good engine flush to help de-carb the engine. You want to flush as much gunk as you can out of the engine. Follow the directions on the can. I like liqui moly products. Very...

It is an interesting video, but does not represent real world driving. Especially, people that live in metro areas that often do short trips where sometimes the engine doesn’t fully warm up and just the wear and tear of an environment with lots of traffic. Their testing is more like a fleet...

No, but it is important to learn to read the data. Base oil is not going to contain metal, viscosity ranges are already known, as well as fuel dilution or the lack there of, and a general idea of the additive packs. The main purpose of a UOA is looking at the metals that indicate wear. Viscosity...

This UOA was performed at 7700 miles on the truck. Oil was in the engine from 4700 - 7600, roughly 2900 miles on the oil. Keep in mind some wear metals are still there because of the break-in. It takes a while to flush it all out. Many say upwards of 20k miles. Iron is a little higher than I...

Same for Whipple FP700.

Actually there are a few tuners offering N/A flex fuel tunes on e85, but it’s unnecessary if a good tuner know show to adjust the logic. OZ offers 1 tune for all fuel with max timing being about 34 degrees under WOT. Stock, max timing is around 28. I can achieve these numbers around e35...

Being a member of multiple 5.0 forums, it is quite common for members to use 5w-50 to help with the infamous Coyote knock and oil consumption issues. Many have claimed drastic reduction or elimination. It’s also pretty much required if you install a supercharger or turbo on the 5.0. This has a...

Lol, I'm not worried.

I average 8 - 12 degrees reduction in trans temps after installation.

My best trip in the middle. Not very long but I don’t tend to drive long distances. Metro Atlanta area / 100% highway. 2023 5.0 / 3.73 / LM Ceratec, e40 fuel, 5w-40, tonneau cover, stock tire / suspension. I do a decent amount city, my tank average after 8k miles is 18.2

Highly suggest by 500 - 1k miles. Upward of 90% of break-in is complete by 500 miles.

I love the tune. Shifting depends on conditions to an extent. Yes, eco mode will act more like stock programming. In the pic, I was also probably slowing down. Also, I recently updated my tune to turn off cylinder deactivation. At the time of the pic, I had it enabled for normal and eco. I like...

Thank you.

Liqui Moly Ceratec, how I broke my engine in, early oil changes to rid the engine of debris, high octane fuel, and a tonneau cover. They all kind of play a role. Unfortunately, you can’t run higher concentrations of e85 in your 24 but you can run E30. I would not push it more than this...
