    INTERCOOLER THOUGHTS? Are they worth it?? Noticeable improvement?

In my country day temperatures range between 93 to 107 degrees and driving condition are challenging and car gets to do a mix of racing, Baja and hours of queuing every day. Loss of power is very noticeable and also worried about oil temp, gear...

    Anyone see the Ford oil consumption warnings this week?

    I'll push for Ford dealer doing what the TSB states, but not to optimistic, since they say no TSB linked to my VIN number, despite being Ford Ecoboost Engine made prior to 4/1/19. Seems like others doing this upgrade have success and problem sorted out.

    2019 Raptor came today, but....

    No, got the EU version (radio with all frequencies, km/hr speedometer etc.) Have driven 2500 miles last week and lost gauges and dashboard display about 10-12 times. Going in for a check next week. A bit annoying, especially at night, since cannot see speedometer etc.

When cornering or driving on windy roads with pitholes and extremely uneven surface, the back of the car felt unstable and slid right and left. Found out that tires had...

    Yes, looks like it for the radio, but that the instrument cluster has compleyel disappeared abd just flashes up evert 20 seconds, as well as the turn signals not working outside, inducates another problem too I guess.. Bad contact, cabling or another controller unit faulty.
