  1. That’s impressive and looks like a very clean launch without wheel hop. Are you on all season or summer tires? Care to share launch rpm?
  2. Great story and congrats! Now you have to do your dad some favors and drive him around a bit! I love those two door Grand Marquis. I always joke that there must be a manual transmission version with a 5.0 out there somewhere.
  3. Got ya. I’m on the mobile version and it doesn’t show it.
  4. It stands for Power Transfer Unit. See below link for more info. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-transfer-case-and-PTU-or-power-take-off-unit-in-vehicles
  5. Have you tried increasing volume when navigation commands are being spoken?
  6. That definitely helps. That’s not so bad. Thanks!
  7. My 2017 3.0T had a diagnostic trouble code of U024B today. Anyone familiar with this one?
  8. Beautiful! I like the black metallic and those wheels.
  9. 13.2 makes sense for stock tune. You hot lapped the first three runs and things were fairly consistent from a mph perspective so that shows the positive affect of the aftermarket intercooler. I thought there would be a difference between traction control off and advancetrac off, but I guess there isn’t! This is great info. Thanks for posting. Summer tires right?
  10. Great choice! The tune will definitely help in the shifting area. It would be great to really be able to slam gears using the paddles, but I don’t find the 6 speed to be all that bad where it is a deal breaker.
  11. Oil life monitor and will change when it says change necessary.
  12. I ended up going with 35% too which came out dark enough for me this time around.
  13. “We announced that we are going to have two new utilities. This is just one of them [Lincoln Aviator], so we have another one to come. And we have four new vehicles around the corner. So getting those vehicles in the pipeline and getting them to market is clearly a priority.” It’s definitely four additional. Exciting how many!
  14. Now that they have announced discontinuing the Fiesta (in America) and Taurus, I would think they need to keep the Fusion along with the Focus. Otherwise they would have only the Focus as a sedan offering. So hopefully that is good news for the MKZ replacement and based on the article looks like it. I wonder what the four new vehicles will be. New MKC, new MKZ, battery electric SUV, coupe?
  15. I have all seasons too. This is very encouraging. Stickier summer tires should drop the times a tenth or two.
  16. Interesting... Did you ever take a look to see if you are running all season or summer tires?
  17. Great times!! Was that with Advancetrac off or just traction control off?
  18. I am in the same boat in CT with the front so I went with a vanity plate with an abbreviation of my business name. At least this way there is something for me to think about that is positive.
  19. Beautiful!! You are going to love that sound system and the multitude of other features and amenities. I love that interior color with the black.
  20. Very thorough write up!! Happy to hear this is working well for you. I’m curious, how exactly does an engine mount result in firmer shifts and better throttle response?
