Oil separators are done! The way the factory system sucks unfiltered oil/vapors directly from the valve cover and into the intake tract. This is HORRIBLE. I expected a PCV in line, there is nothing. So the key is to simply keep this oil out of the intake and even more importantly the...
Wow, this is the exhaust on the new Maverick truck we are building. Crazy! Not a single flange or joint in 12' of tubing and three "mufflers". Truck has a single cat in the very short downpipe right after the turbo. Going to be some great improvements opening this system up, tubing is only...
Morning!
Well we are underway on this truck build and getting some initial measurements, figured I'd share them.
My truck came with the Pirelli Scorpion tires, 225-65-17s.
Taking a look at the truck this morning to get an idea of what may fit, here are some measurements.
The Scorpion...
That's an outstanding point actually. My uncle was the head electrical engineer for Kentucky truck in Louisville. I went and toured the plant with him, they had a line of new F150's EB's waiting to go on the dyno there, ROWS of dyno's. They dyno'd ever XX truck to verify all was well as they...
Trash an engine? LOL. I've been building engines/cars for 32 years now, we build them here, once they are started, verified there are no leaks, the cars are loaded directly onto the dyno and ran at full boost/max RPM within 5 miles of being built. So in many cases, like last week, 9500 rpm...
They do have an 8 speed. Typically you dyno in the 1:1 gear, this truck has no manual setting to lock the trans into a gear (not that I found anyway) so it was easiest to dyno based on MPH and run it 1-4. It also made for seeing why it feels so good when you first hit it, the torque converter...
The truck is all time AWD, our dyno is also Mustang 500, so the front and rear rollers are linked, I have to un-couple the rollers to use the dyno just as RWD/FWD.
We have snow here, I also like to offroad and this build is for overlanding and pulling a trailer I built to haul my side by side on. So the AWD was the best option.
