    Dragy 10Hz, RaceBox 10Hz or RaceBox Mini 25Hz?

    I read the comments for ridered74's vid, none of them are out of whack. Just normal questions/comments.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    My comment wasn't adressing "falisafes" in general, it was about the need for a failsafe on a part of which the actual cause of the problem has not been addressed.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    One thing stands out, none of this makes any sense. Highly tuned cars, no problems. Highly tuned cars, some with problems. Stock vehicles, no problems. Stock vehicles, blown parts. Broken parts, a snapped bolt. Broken parts, everything under the sun being replaced. There's no way to figure out...

    Dragy 10Hz, RaceBox 10Hz or RaceBox Mini 25Hz?

    Okay, so your bone stock time is the one to beat! People are probably wondering why I'm into doing runs with a 100% stock ST. I used to mod cars, but now I'm into seeing if I can match or beat published test results. I did this at the drag strip with my Stinger GT AWD (13.11@107.1 mph), my...

    Dragy 10Hz, RaceBox 10Hz or RaceBox Mini 25Hz?

    Okay, got a quarter mile run in ... 100% bone stock Power brake launch 1/2 tank 93 oct Road starting curving L after I passed 60 mph (hard to find a straight road in my area that's level and a 1/4 mile long) Tools/etc removed (out of curiosity I weighed everything and it was 41.4 lbs, the...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Sorry to hear that. But then I see all these 2020 guys with tunes making 500-550 hp with no problems? I know it's of no consolation to you, but the data still shows few if any people snapping their bolts. Hmm ...

    Post your Dragy times.

    Anyone here weigh the OEM 20" wheel vs. the OEM 21" wheel? Has to be a similar difference in weight.

    FORD PERFOMANCE DOOR SILL REPLACEMENT?

    I just called the dealer's Parts Dept. They said the Ford Performance sill plate is part of that entire trim piece and costs $191.00 EACH and has to be ordered (4-5 days). They said if I want it installed through the dealer's Body Shop I'd have to stop by and they would write me an estimate...

    FORD PERFOMANCE DOOR SILL REPLACEMENT?

    Very interesting you post this, as somehow my driver's side Ford Performance door sill plate has a gash across it. I was thinking I need to call the dealer's Parts Department to replace it. Will get back to you ...

    QUESTION: Carbon Build Up

    If people use Top Tier fuel, then the chances of getting excessive carbon buildup will probably be greatly reduced. FYI: The ST's tail pipe tips will never get sooty, as the exhaust actually exits out of holes facing the ground just before the tips.

    Random Picture Thread.........

    following the military theme ... I had a family member who served in WWII. He was in the US Army, 28th Inf Div, 110th Inf Reg. They were part of the forces that liberated Germany from the Nazis. The 28th's motto was "Roll On" and they used a red keystone insignia, which after tangling with the...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Right on! Seeing they didn't actually fix the problem, the auto parking brake band aid is a must. I wonder if we'll ever know why FORD changed it up.

    Rattle Diagnosed: Not what you think ...

    Wow, the pull up shades. That's nuts! This is coming from underneath the vehicle, focused below the floor of the 2nd row seats. That's what the TSB targeted, that the fuel line above the gas tank was rattling. Either not enough foam blocks were put in to silent the rattle, or they weren't...

    Please help me.

    The best replies you received on this thread are: 1) go to a dealer that doesn't charge you a diagnostic fee 2) call Ford Customer Service

    Any thoughts on this radar?

    Yup, same here. Sometimes the R3 picks them up from so far away I think it's a false signal, and then I see it's not. And now Uniden's R4 is even more sensitive. Detectors won't prevent someone from getting pulled over if they're acting like a hooligan, but otherwise, they do a fantastic job.
