Dega!

Just an update on this, a few people with questionable decision making skills decided it was a good idea to promote me a couple of times and then put me in charge of the functional and production design of a $100 mil+ project. It has been a learning curve, but taking a significant project from...

Hmmm the SXS I currently use is very noisy. Something like this would solve that problem

Now I want to start a golf cart project. I need to quit coming here. 🤣

I will not be trading in my new edge any time soon, well, ever really but yeah not a fan of the new ones, performance aside.

I’m curious of this as well as how it compares to the Cummins and L5P. I have heard the HO Cummins uses a good bit more than the standard engine. We don’t really get winter in South Louisiana but I am pretty pleased with how little it uses.

You hit the nail on the head with C for me. Also would like to know the actual failure rate. I think Ford does a better job with the integration of this pump into their engine than GM and Ram (Cummins) did. GM likes to omit lift pumps. Ram used a smaller displacement CP4 and geared it so it was...

I have been tracking how many gallons of DEF I burn in my truck since about 10,000 miles. I am a little over 46k now so I thought I would share some numbers: Date Miles Traveled DEF Gallons DEF MPG Notes 8/26/2022 9836 3.246 N/A First fill from the pump 9/28/2022 1690 1.427 1184...

Let’s add insurance to the discussion. The monthly cost of my home insurance is now higher than the 15 year loan I took out 12 years ago. The last 3 years have been wild.

When EFILive first came out on the Dodge’s I had my truck tuned by a well known GM guy. It was done in person, on a dyno, with quite a bit of refinement done on the street afterward. “Your truck loves timing” he says… lol Later on, the truck started blowing coolant out of the overflow with...

I have this setup on my Dodge. With this compressor just timed 22 seconds from 0-70 psi lol.

Driving habits aside, tuning is something that it pretty easy to get wrong. The customer winds up footing the bill to pay for the tuner’s education in most cases.

Mint was mine, although I’ve gone 3 years without one. Hard thing to quit. Still want a dip all the time.

This was my takeaway and why I went with the Husky’s on this Ford. It was exactly the opposite situation in 2007 on my Dodge, which I still have and the Weathertechs still fit perfect, the Huskys I tried first did not so I returned them last time with a restock fee. I did more homework this...
