Yes you are right, but a face lift does not necessarily involve an engine change. Any ways, not worth arguing on.
Yea it would.. I just reached out to my dealer (by text) and they do NOT see Flex Fuel specified on my order, and they don't believe my truck will be a FFV. That SUCKS.
Stock is rated 410 on 21 and up, no?
That’s not how math works
Why is everyone so quick to knock E85? It's usually people who have no experience. Why is it, that lack of experience makes people experts?? In a supercharged application, you could see as much as 80-100WHP just from switching from 93 to a full tank of E85.
You absolutely can feel the power increase. Ran 91 all winter, started on 2nd tank of E85. Can for sure feel the added power E85 makes.
I’m not saying I’m suing them but I am saying that it is documented in places other than on websites and if people are buying it specifically for that purpose only to find out after they purchase it that it can’t do that I can definitely see some kind of class action lawsuit because of that.
Depending on where you're at E85 is actually cheaper to use than regular fuel even with the mileage loss. Here in the midwest its almost always $1 - $1.20 cheaper than regular, pair that with the noticeable performance gains its a no brainer. Also the sweet smell coming out of the tail pipe is nice too!
I don’t think so for the 14th gen refresh but soon pretty much all DI engines will have GPF. I would think the 3.5 EB would require this first. GPF is for particulates, the 5.0’s DI system is newer and runs at a higher bar pressure than the EcoBoost so it should be a bit cleaner. My very anectodal comparison of tailpipes leads me to believe the 3.5 is much more sooty than the 5.0, 3.5 tailpipes are usually pretty black. Either way, I don’t think a particulate filter is something to worry about.
Yea, I agree. One more negative (if its true for all 24s). I do like the new standard screens and 3:73s, but not crazy about the face lift. I personally would have paid more for a better trim in the RSCB. The truck offers a "total package" as far as performance. The engine/trans/drivetrain is boost ready, and having flex fuel is very important part of the package. Ethanol adds a huge safety margin. Add in the fact that these ECUs might not be accessible for a long time, it makes them less desirable.
