  1. Also to the smart ass who said let them look at the world out the window... either A) you don't have kids or B) you had kids but you smacked them around to keep them quiet... ?
  2. the ones that i saw for the raptors were without intercoolers just air filter and piping 300-400 bucks
  3. Anyone know if there is a cold air intake for the 2018 navi's? I see ones for the 18 raptors... Does anyone know if those would work since its the same engine? trying to cut on the turbo lag. Dropped a KN filter in it and i can notice a slight impovement. Want to take it to the next step
  4. Just looked under my navi.. Dual pipe into one cat? and dual pipe into one muffler. not what i would call dual exhaust. But im used to rice rockets here in NYC so maybe i have it wrong...
  5. Since we started talking about performance of the new Navi... would it have really killed ford to give the new navis a twin intake and dual cat back exhausts? I mean for a 90 K truck all we get a is a fart can in the back and a single intake feeding twin turbos? This engine supposedly gives out 450 ponies as is. Im sure it would have gone north of 500 with a little more TLC on the intake and exhaust. They even plan on dual exhaust for the aviator. At least do it for the looks!!!
  6. the additives usually are based on the brand, exxon, BP etc. bigger name brands usually use the same level of additives across all three grades. However i do know for a fact from a friend of mine that owns an exxon gas station, the premium level gas does get an extra filter at the pump than the other grades.
  7. For the record I have a chemistry degree.... That being said.... octane rating in gas has absolutly nothing to do with quality. This is a huge misconception. It is strictly based on the compression ratio of the engine. Higher octane is needed for high compression engines to prevent pre detonation in the combustion chamber. As gas compresses it can ignite on its own before the spark plug fires. This is what causes knock. A higher octane prevents this from happening. This is why to always use what is recommended in the manual. Using a higher octane more than what the engine calls for would work counter productive to engine performance and in gas mileage, not to mention the waste of money for premium gas. New engines can run on lower octane than what they are rated for because the computers can detect knock and they can retard the timing of the spark plugs to compensate. This is done at the expense of performance and MPG though. our new navies say 93 for max performance so I would stick with that. Besides, cant really argue about trying to save money on gas when we are driving a 90K truck... So bottom line.... read the owners manual and follow directions.. As for ethanol... For post 2000 and up cars not so much an issue since they were designed to use up to e15 ethanol in gas. However if you do have access to no ethanol, then filler up... Good luck finding it though...
  8. She is home. My first american car... nice way to start..
  9. Love at first sight. Thank for all your help
  10. Im leasing i got a good deal on a no money down lease. Plus there was a price increase for the 2019 and outside of adding a metalic black paint, no point to blow up the deal and wait another 3 to 5 months like i did this time That being said.... THE HOLD IS OFF!!!! should be picking it up on Wednesday!
  11. Sadly I need to bump again. 5LMJJ2LT6JEL17927
  12. I just hope they dont send it back to the factory. I had the deposit in since April!!!
  13. Is there any way that someone here can look at the specific reason for the hold? I was told it has something to do with the second row bench material. Im just curious if any of you guys have had a hold placed on your navis
  14. Mine is still sitting at East Brookfield mass train depot on hold by lincoln for something regarding the second row bench. I was told it could take up to 21 days to send someone to inspect it... that clock started on 8/21. ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!! I WANT MY CAR!!! Already had a month delay due to parts shortage
  15. bump 5LMJJ2LT6JEL17927 hope they fixed whatever they needed to fix
  16. They removed the delivery date. It was supposed to have been this week
  17. So supposedly the delay is due to an issue with those that have the 2nd row bench option, which mine has.
  18. Actually I was able to find out the trucking company responsible for the final delivery to the dealer. He informed me my car is on hold by Lincoln. So something is up. Does anyone have any reason why?????
  19. Mine is being held hostage in brookfield, mass since 8/17... dont know why? deliver is in stamford ct
  20. Any chance of getting the Csx tracking number?
  21. I have never been of fan of that. I have always disabled that feature...
  22. Etis finaly lists a build date of August 12th Spot on call by Alx!!!
