  1. My unified theory of build priority. (Please prove me wrong)

    After trying to puzzle all the pieces together; the anecdotal walk ins and dealer stock (perhaps using fake retail orders, green and blue window attackers anyone?) getting serviced before identical reservation order stories, the recent Ford email stating they would pause retail orders to...
  2. Fuel pricing and ADM (predictions?)

    Far northwest suburbs of Chicago and the wholesale price jumps of gasoline in the last couple days has resulted in $4.39 Reg and $5.11 Premium at the pump this morning. As people will knee jerk react to the prices with a rush to avoid less efficient vehicles, (they don't care if they will never...
  3. 4-door, 7-speed VB Black Diamond ragtop at Gillespie Ford in Gurnee

    They have it parked out front, right on Grand Ave. entrance, if anyone wants to take a cruise over and check it out. My first sighting, it was smaller than I expected, the Velocity Blue is absolutely the color with which to go. I tried picturing the new green, but now there is no way I am...
  4. Granger Priority Order!

    Let me be the first to publicly suggest that Albert be given, if Granger has one, the Priority Order on his personal Bronco! A nice perk for a tremendous effort on his part.
  5. 4A front locker operation question and a serious possible warning.

    I've wondered from time to time how Ford was planning to pay for all the expected warranty damage claims from IFS and a front locker, especially when they will be having a lot of locker newbees (myself included) and having the front locker in so many models/trims. It occurred to me that they...
  6. Mod top and painted grill

    Sigh, I know, I know, my dealer told me... Just putting it out there for what it is worth. Sean at Granger checked and contrary to the explore model (Badlands), (click the 'i' for the modular top to get this);Sean stated in an email to me that selecting the mod top does NOT change the grill...
  7. Mansquatch

    Educated guesses on if Ford uses the extra time to do Mansquatch right? 4.88 or maybe 5.13 gears to offset the tires or half ass it and just keep the 4.70s because they have them in the parts bin? 5.13 manual 35's would probably feel about the same as the 4.7 manual 33's on the BL (would tempt...
  8. Poll on reservation dates co-opted by dealers

    Curious as to the dates of the reservations that were converted without permission. If you had two reservations converted, please vote twice. Wanting to see if it is limited to the initial allocation formula reservations.
  9. throttle mapping with manual

    Have seen it mentioned in many places, but never any follow through. If the G.O.A.T. modes do indeed change throttle response as popularly believed, it will be a source of aggravation for manual drivers trying to engage the clutch smoothly from a start (and if in a non-normal mode, conditions...
  10. Two oddball answers for which I searched and no joy.

    1). The front interior of the two door has the body color painted metal section. Does anyone know if it is actually part of the door skin or just an insert? The concern is that if there is metal to metal contact with the outer skin, it will transfer the heat or cold from the outside directly...
  11. Why tune an automatic 2.3?

    Do you, live like you want, ETC. Makes no never mind to me what you do. I never judge (I may point and laugh, but I never judge...) I am seeing a lot of chatter about tuning the 2.3 and am thinking I am missing something. (it does not apply to those of us with 7-speeds coming, we have no...
