Come on Velossa Tech. Dyno the truck with goofy part on, take goofy part off, dyno again, then post the results on your web site and use it for marketing. What have you got to lose? A decline in future sales?
I finally went to their website to check it out. They say a tune for this accessory is not required (I stated this in an earlier post) but could be helpful. Nobody I could find is posting numbers on this intake. Before, I was trying to help you with relevant information. Here is my personal...
Fuel costs and tariffs are rolled into the price. Ford and most other manufacturers are not going to eat it. If and when the costs go down, I'll pass out if they lower their prices. It appears to be a one way street.
If you drained and filled properly, the stick is showing the proper fill level no matter what the stick reads. Accept what the stick indicates and don't worry about it. Make a mental note that the stick will read a little over 'full' after a complete oil and filter replacement. Manufacturing...
The PTU capacity is 12.7 ± 1.7 fluid ounces which is less than 1/2 a quart. Metal on the magnetic plug is normal. Not much quench cooling going on with low fluid capacity.
Yeah, yeah, the colder the air at the intake the more dense it is. It hits a hot piston and expands exponentially. In the 60s, 1/8 milers packed ice on the intake manifold to get denser air into the carburetor (didn't really work). Racing computer controlled cars is a joke. In the 60s, the back...
When I said I burned points it implies the system worked. I didn't go into detail. You won't usually see shavings on the dip stick. They are in the pan and oil filter. When I change my oil, first time -new vehicle, I always find metal in the catch pan. On the Mav, I gave up my curiosity about...
I meant it was impractical for me. I can't haul 1300lbs of firewood out of the woods in it. I go to a few car and motorcycle shows to admire their rides/workmanship, most of them impractical for me. Look at my emoji. Impractical, right? I bought it site unseen, had my wife drive me 160 miles to...
I service the RDU flat on my back without stands, no problem. When I pulled the plug, a dribble of oil ran down the housing. It was full. The oil was clean and the plug had a fair amount of grit on it which has always been the case on all services done on many different brands in 58 years. This...
My 2024 Maverick Lariat came with a spray-in bed liner and a bed mat that cost $140.00 per the window sticker. I haul firewood on a regular basis, sometimes as much as 1300 pounds. I feel the bed mat won't wear but the spray-in will. Ford sells it that way so no problem IMO.
If the onboard computers were static, you would need a re-tune. The computers are dynamic, constantly adjusting to inputs such as air and fuel volume, one wheel slipping more than another wheel, etc. Ford sets the parameters (high, low, optimum) for the inputs and they are adjusted on the fly...
I check the dipstick before I leave the lot. I had my oil drain plug replaced with a cracked one with a different hex size at Pep Boys 10-12 years ago - It didn't end well for them. I tend to trust people until they prove they can't be trusted. I follow the adage "trust but verify". There are...
I did my first oil change at 1100 miles to get the casting flash metal out of the pan and to burn my points. The young female service advisor explained in detail my options and how it works when I asked and already knew. She did a good job explaining. I usually ask questions from the service...
To have back seat passengers seated comfortably in my 2017 TRD Tacoma Sport, I had to move the front seats forward. Most everyone who sat in the back said there legs were cramped. On another seat note, I, along with many Tacoma owners, had to purchase seat-jackers, $60-$99, to install between...
