That's pretty much what I have heard/read/learned. When it comes to swapping a modern engine into a modern vehicle(especially Ford for some reason) getting ALL the electronics to work the way they are supposed to is the big issue. It's not like back in the day where if it fits it works. Will...
Man the baja boss A/T seems like it would be the perfect choice for me when it's time to ditch the factory bridgestones. I absolutely loved my mickey thompson drag radials in my Mustang days lol. If only the meat head in me didn't just love the look of the Ridge Grappler so much haha...
Hate to say it, but sounds like it's time to take it to a different shop and have them look at it. I am by no means an expert on this stuff, but it definitely seems like the original shop might have screwed something up and is now in cover their ass mode.
Thanks for the cliff notes but I still read every page haha.
And still have no idea what a portal is lol, started losing track when the conversation got to helical cut or straight gears lol
Another thing I didn't see mentioned that I have noticed in my 30K miles of ownership.
Quality of the gas seems to make a difference. I have noticed that when I use top tier gas (Shell/Mobil) I get noticeably better MPG. When I use BP (which is not listed as top tier) my mileage does drop...
21 big bend, 4 door 2.3 auto. I am normally in the 22-23 MPG range. If I really try I can squeeze out 24 maybe 25. But normal driving for me, its usually in the 22-23 range.
yeah we definitely don't get as much snow as you do in Colorado. The extremes from one end to the other just make my head spin haha. I remember in my Mustang days, I had nitto 555R drag radials on the back. Whole bunch of people said never get stuck in the rain with them. They were...
We had it on the calendar all month and then realized like the week of that Easter was the next day lol. Events are going to be harder for me to make now, kids are starting summer sports that are going to fill up most saturdays and sundays. Might have to play hooky from work one day and try...
Balls of steel wheeling that hard without skids haha.
First time I went out I was surprised what my BB 3.73 was able to get through. We didn't do anything close to what you did but we had water, mud, dirt and it handled it like a champ even with the factory tires.
