    The Raptor R engine is not a DI engine.

    The capacity of tankless is controlled by the size of your gas line. If you don't have a big natural gas feed, you might not like tankless. Propane has more BTUs per Cu.ft. than natural gas and it's generally easier to upsize the feed.

    Break in & robbery

    The border should be closed entirely until they get their shit together down there. We don't need cheap car parts from their factories that bad.

    35 vs 37 Fuel economy different?

    All of this back and forth on MPGs is pointless. I'd bet nobody is hand calculcating and avergeing their MPG for every single fill-up. I'd suspect most are posting their "hero" tank. All highway driving, perfect weather, etc... Speaking of weather- a vehicle in, say South Carolina, will get...

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    Again, it's SUPER obvious when shocks are worn out when there is a 100+ lb tire and wheel package at each corner. The "system" you refer to is a spring and a damper- there's nothing else involved. Maybe you can't tell when the shocks no longer dampen the springs by simply driving the vehicle...

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    It's in the tune. The dealer can't do squat until Ford releases a new calibration for the engine.

    GEN 1 Mystery Dash Reading - What IS this?

    It's the OK button that activates it and clears it. You have to do it quickly as you found out. Preety odd feature really- considering they don't even come with a voltmeter.

    GEN 1 Mystery Dash Reading - What IS this?

    You paused the trip odometer. It's used to pause the timer/stopwatch.

    19 model to 23/24 model, is it worth it?

    The linked rear suspension is way better than the leaf spring setup in the Gen1 and Gen 2 trucks.

    2020 GT500 has port injection. This is the same engine, de-tuned to survive in truck usage.
