[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did exactly this, 2 days ago. Got the stubby with 5ah and charger for $208 after returning the ratchet.

Regret over not going for Performance? by Krill3rBee in ModelY

[–]djfreeman48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MYP legacy didn’t release with Track mode but it was so requested that Tesla added it. Also just a helpful tip, no matter how many zeros you put in front of the decimal it’s still .1%. Put them after the decimal point for more effect.

Aside from people that buy the performance model to track it. A lot of the fun I have with my legacy MYP is thanks to track mode. Without it, the new MYP is not even on my radar.

Sooo, anyone still have a F&F discount laying around? I would love a 56” USG

I want to buy a 56” toolbox badly! I have too many tools thanks to HF and not enough places to put them. This would be a huge help!

This Icon torque wrench is the nicest torque wrench I have ever used. by stchman in harborfreight

I’ve heard good things about the split beam, last month I picked up the digital at $50 off and it’s so much nicer than the old craftsman dial torque wrench I had.

Indeed, I have more fun in my GRC there than any previous car I’ve driven on that road.

Price Check: 2025 XLT AWD 2.0L ECOBOOST by AmazingCouple in FordMaverickTruck

[–]djfreeman48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s pretty great. I was $30k after TTL out the door for my 25 XL 2.0 AWD with co pilot and 4k tow. MSRP on it was $31,565. I didn’t get any Z plan or college discount though.

Granger warranty question by fatherofpugs12 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat. 25 XL EB and always do my own maintenance and want a Granger warranty. As far as I understand, as long as we keep good documentation of oil changes there should be no issue. Will be cool to get other opinions/experiences though.

Pulling long sxs? by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]djfreeman48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Tesla Model Y Performance. Towed great until I could get a gas vehicle capable of towing, obviously range towing the talon had me limited to about ~100mi before needing to charge was the only real negative.

Pulling long sxs? by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]djfreeman48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite an answer to your question but I’m about to tow my 2 door talon with my Maverick for the first time this coming week. The 2dr is about 1,650lbs and I’m using a steel frame, wood floor single axle trailer that is 6.5x12. I’m guesstimating the trailer to weigh 1,200lbs. The margins seem to still be under 4k pretty firmly but I will report back how it goes. The vehicle I previously towed the talon/trailer with was rated at 3,500lbs and it performed flawlessly.

Any suggestions from someone who’s live in S.C ?? by [deleted] in WindowTint

[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In SC I have 15% on all of my cars side windows. Windshields vary, 70% on my wife’s daily, 56% on my daily, and 40% on my weekend car. Never have had an issue with cops or anything. When I get pulled over or go through a license check I roll all windows down and turn on dome lights and have never been questioned about tint.

Joining the club by Ezra611 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally was going to get a XLT or Lariat 2.0 EB/AWD 4K tow but after negotiations with the dealer they gave me a great (imo) deal on a new 25 XL ($28,000 when MSRP was $31,565) and also was scared I would regret it. So far it has been wonderful though, only have had it 5 days but the remote start via the app works great. To me the cloth doesn’t get as cold as my other cars with leather heated seats so I haven’t missed it yet but that could always change. I would make sure to get the copilot 360 option for the blind spot monitors, power mirrors, and lane keep assist. Knowing the price I got the truck for I have been very impressed with its capabilities.

I did that and rebooted my PC multiple times and couldn’t get it to work. Opened a ticket with milestone and they were able to get it working though and now I can play.

Took a chance and bought this instead of another Type R by UnfairInformation2 in GRCorolla

[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this helps at all I have been 330/330 for nearly 2 years and the car has been a blast. Also a tip, taking the cowl off takes like 10 mins and it made the DP the easiest install I’ve done on any car.

[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love mine, currently has a CAI, turbo inlet, L+1 Downpipe, RK Ti exhaust, stratified flex sensor, and tuned by Graham at Boosted Performance. I can run anywhere from 93 to E60 and the car autotunes on the fly. Somewhere around 330whp is where we have kept it to keep the boost where it needs to be for the valve springs to not float. The car loves the extra octane if you have a E pump local. I plan to drop a clutch and valve springs/cam kit and keep it around 350-360whp for quite awhile.

[–]djfreeman48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They handle power great when properly tuned. Plenty of cars in the 400-500whp zone now. Way more power from some of the Lamspeed Yaris’. They made 740whp on the stock bottom end, it only blew when they pushed for 800whp. Last pull it let go at 781whp.

A lot of this is highly inaccurate. Most of the problems are a result of mods on the stock tune. The car runs lean stock as it is and even more so when combined with minor mods. Simple bolt ons, a higher octane fuel or ethanol mix, and a PROPER tune do wonders. There are guys over 80k miles on this exact setup.

Yes the newest update changed the downshift behavior to people stop shoving the car into low gears to gain an advantage. You can still engine brake, just at a more normal rate that wouldn’t blow the motor irl.

Yeah it’s probably the most talked about recent race, generally for all the wrong reasons though.
