    Fluid temperatures

    I was on the highway for about 45 min, going 65 to 95 at different times, with a few WOT pulls. I was around 200 to 210. After I got off, temps climbed to 220 as I sat at different red lights and drove about 30 mph in between them. I know I'm still in operating temperatures, but it seems a bit...

    Check the fluid yourself, and change it every 30k or so. It is not a lifetime fluid, contrary to what they say.

    Mercon ULV ATF vs Amsoil SS Transmission Fluid

    How are you liking the Valvoline products? Did you put their ATF in the transfer case as well? Which liquimoly are you using in the trans? I'm guessing Toptec 1850?

    Mercon ULV ATF vs Amsoil SS Transmission Fluid

    Is this a new product by Amsoil that does meet the spec? AMSOIL Signature Series ULV 100% Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid | ULV1G-EA - AMSOIL Looks like it was just announced on 10-31-2024. I only took a quick glance, but the specs seem pretty close to what the Mercon ULV is.

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    I noticed one bug with the Aviator screen, when I try to adjust the rear climate, I can't see what the settings are. Does anyone know if there's a Forscan setting to adjust this?

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    Just did mine with zipties and kept the original trim that it came with. I did have a bit of an issue with the connector, I had to wiggle it a bit to make the screen come on and stay on. I hope it doesn't cut out while driving around. I don't really mind the gap in the back, nobody in the...

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    How much was it at Tasca? I am on a little family trip and happened to drive past Tasca in Rhode Island. I had no idea it was here.

    Fluid temperatures

    I think these are all within normal operating range...but this was after a short 15 min drive with a few pulls. It just seems high for what I didm

    Fluid temperatures

    Thanks. I recently saw about 210 for all 3 after doing some pulls and sitting in traffic. It seems like they're all in operating range, but I feel like most people run a bit cooler.

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    There's a guy on FB who is making something for it. TW3D creations on Etsy. It looks like it will fully seal the gap behind the new screen, and cover up the bottom portion of the screen as well, and give a nice flush fit to the contours of the dash. The 8" screen vent trim piece will be required.

    Fluid temperatures

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the normal operating temperatures for oil, coolant, and transmission temp? Do the different drive modes have an effect on the temps as well? I'd imagine sport mode with its higher line pressure would cause some increase in the trans fluid temp...

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    What is the difference when using zipties to mount vs making a bracket? Is the ziptie method secure without any movement?

    Thermal R&D 2.5" vs. 3"

    Has anybody here heard both? I have Whoosh downpipes ready to go on, and I'm considering either the 2.5", 3", AWE and Stainless Works, but I am 95% leaning towards a Thermal system. I've been very pleased with their catback on my Focus ST. It is my family car and we don't want any drone. Is...

    Review: Thermal R&D 3" Catback

    Did you have downpipes on either of those?

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    I just ordered a Lincoln screen. Quick question, did you keep the original AC vent trim that came with your 10" vertical Explorer, or did you swap to the 8"? What are the mounting differences for the 8" vs the 10" trims?

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    Can you use the 8" screen in a 10.1" car without doing all the trim pieces? Or will it look very odd?

    JXB bushing insert

    Is that a common failure on these? Any early symptoms to be aware of?

    JXB bushing insert

    Quick question for anyone who has done this, or other deflection-reducing mods... I know this helps with launching and 60' etc. Is there any noticeable benefits under daily driving conditions as well? Or is it only when driving hard?
