    Fuel nozzle shuts off when filling

    my wife's 07 mustang occasionally does this. because it tends to improve when i bounce it on the suspension, i agree it has something to do with the vent, but I've never been able to fix it.

    catch can benefit

    apparently i asked this in the wrong place and I offended the generation police nazis. what is the effect of a catch can on longevity? how many miles more will my engine last? does it help the motor last twice as long, or what? has anyone done any real world checking? looking for a metric, not...

    Driver Side Catch Can - Tell me what you know

    whatever. my question asked for a quantity. period. you certainly don't have to answer, but you don't get to reword my question to let you avoid any embarrassment when you get called on it. You also don't get to decide where I should or should not post or ask questions. My question was not...

    Should I change my transmission fluid?

    Can’t hurt. Cheap insurance. I’d do best available synthetic and filter.

    Driver Side Catch Can - Tell me what you know

    You did not answer the question. Is there a quantifiable benefit?

    Driver Side Catch Can - Tell me what you know

    how much will these extend engine life? properly taken care of, for example, fleet managers (I've read here) report near half million mile lifespans for the 5.4. will a catch can get me to a million? or what?

    The World's First CVVD Engine

    the narrator is a liar. rather than respond to the youtube comments he refers to, he just makes fun of them. Some of those people have considerably more than 9 years of valvetrain experience. second, this is not continuously variable valve duration. the duration is variable within a small range...

    Tuners & Programmers

    I bought an SCT Livewire TS+ ... there are not 1400 parameters available for my vehicle. there are perhaps ten or so of use to me on my 04 expedition 5.4L 2V.

    Forscan question

    I'm coming around to spacers just because there doesn't seem to be any other choice. However, since It wouldn't get any benefit until i installed taller tires, and I just installed 34" tires, i guess it'll be a few years before I get around to messing with any more lift. PS I could not wait -...

    2nd gen throttle body

    I would not call it a limiting factor any more than i would call the number of cylinders in the engine a limiting factor. That’s how it was built. The computer provides fuel, among other things, according to how much air the engine is getting. A larger throttle body will provide more air, so the...

    Powerstop Slotted Rotors/Pads Z-36

    drilled/slotted rotors dump heat faster, so they should recover from braking quicker. solid rotors, because they don't have any material cut away by the drilling and slotting, mass more and so hold more heat before they fade. so if you hit your brakes a lot, drilled/slotted can be helpful. if...

    My mechanic told me....

    if you can back out the threads at all, let alone a quarter turn, why not just remove them? what am I missing?

    FINALLY!!! K&N dyno sheet

    just to clear things up - I never doubted that the theory of a CAI was correct. It made sense. Cooler, denser, air, should produce more power. But, I think everyone here understands there's a world of difference between what engineers in a lab on a dyno stand can do and what we will get on our...

    not a recovery point

    I'm always amazed when somebody thinks a bumper is good place to attach a recovery strap.

    proper towing, by experts

    how sad is it when you get lapped by a VW minivan? it appears the soviet army era jeep was last.

    proper towing, by experts

    the guy with the checkered flag had to duck. that should tell you all you need to know. actual racing starts just before the 4 minute mark.

    part two should have included the trailer. IMO.

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    bullshit. if it's the same tire, it is the SAME TIRE. if it's not the same tire, it's a different model, size, whatever. Not the same tire. if it's a defect, only a lunatic would let it go for sale. lawyers would love this you people have got to stop with this lying. what the hell are you...

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    There isn't any additional info because this claim is nonsense. You've hit the nail on the head. it's amazing the number of people that believe this kind of idiocy. I hate to be rude, but this is one of the stupidest myths people sign up for. They refuse to think for 2 seconds about how...
