God I hate people who just blast AI A lot of aftermarket equivalents for the FL-2127 have a 22 PSI bypass pressure target, some like Fram have it at 15 PSI. It’s a win win because I genuinely would rather avoid it going into bypass early.

I’m a broad level guy so the specifics aren’t my thing but I believe it was mainly to enhance longevity due to the internalized EGR changing a large portion of the head design and cooling demands

Yes it was redesigned to be more in line with how we designed the 5.0 PCV system

When we went from Duratec to Ecoboost we never got rid of the oil separator. Switching over to MPC it of course was retained. It’s nothing great but it’s been a persistent thing for two decades on the 4 cylinders

Yes they’re both M22x1.50

While I don’t dismiss accountability from Ford I will say that most of the cost savings come from the suppliers and not directly as a request from Ford. The Bronco hard top launch was a great example of a supplier greasing the wheels with Ford saying they can do the production and even when...

Is the output of the light blocked by a cover piece?

It’s funny this comparison is being made as it was my first impression when I started working on Maverick prototypes. The first part of the vehicle I walked up to was the bed and my first comment was “wow this is just like the Sport Trac”. On the topic of comparisons, it’s funny that the...

Never had that issue with auto HVAC's in my Fords or Lincolns. I can understand the frustrations though for lacking some physical buttons for direct feedback to changing settings. I doubt Ford will take their low cost stuff back to physical buttons though, I feel like this screen upgrade was...

That’s simple as a Forscan change. I’ve done that option in my other vehicles.

Back in my day, we had one knob for heat, one for cold, and if it broke you just smacked the dash ’til it worked again. These newfangled touchscreen HVACs? Don’t bother me none—I set it once and forget it. Ain’t like I’m in there recalibrating the damn atmosphere every 5 minutes like some kind...

I think it’s something like 30 minutes. I changed it to 5

Thankfully the Blackwood didn’t suffer from that manifold leak issue. The Mark LT however…

Livernois is working on an unlock last I checked. I didn’t ask but I don’t know if it’s as simple as a swap because of the addition of port injection or not. I would love to find out if it’s that easy though. I’ve been waiting on this unlock for a year now

If they stuck to the then Lincoln Motor Company mindset it would be neat to see a luxury compact truck with a larger engine. As quickly as people forget the Blackwood is an F-150 they also forget that the 4V Intech 5.4L was a banshee of a motor and the basis for the Cobra R. I know it would be a...

All the USB-C ports should be 15W (5V/3A) capable including the media bin port. It’s not PD and overall not that great but it’s better than they used to be that’s for sure. I didn’t know the rating initially and have been happy with the charging speed on my devices. The non-media ones keep my...

I can’t offer much help on pinpointing the source but this doesn’t help ease my mind on a similar mystery oil leak going on with mine, however mine is at the timing cover somewhere.

The most ironic (moronic) thing about the keypad removal is that Ford recently did an employee/customer survey about the top technologies the last 25 years and one of the popular ones was the SecuriCode. It was so popular there’s now an article on it discussing the history

Doesn’t make it any less of a Ranger competitor. They’re both mid size trucks within inches dimensionally

That’s more of a Ranger equivalent vehicle really.
