FORD FX4 OFF-ROAD PACKAGE: IS IT WORTH IT? Since the F-150 is bulkier than the Ranger, and therefore a little less nimble off-road, its FX4 package isn’t quite as robust. Additionally, it cannot be paired with the 3.3L Ti-VCT engine option. That said, those who opt for the upgrade gain the expected electronic-locking rear diff, Hill Descent Control, and Rancho shocks,plus skid plates
BATTLE OF THE LIFTERS: FLAT TAPPET VS ROLLER, SOLID VS With solid lifters, valve lash will need to be set and adjusted from time to time. (Valve lash is the clearance between the rocker arm and the tip of the valvestem.) This is a crucial setting, as it will determine the performance and lifespan of the valvetrain and will keep valve duration and lift on key with the cam’s specs. ADJUSTING THAT REAR END: GET TRACTION UNDER CONTROL The first time you hit the track, you may run into some issues with getting the rear end to hook up just right. Axle wrap, wheel hop, and poor shock/spring selection are serious killers of traction, and if you can’t seem to get a grip, these are often the cause of the issue. These can manifest as wheel spin, wheel hop, sluggish 60-foottimes

A QUICK GUIDE TO SPARK PLUG SELECTION A Quick Guide to Spark Plug Selection. We’ve all done it at some point in our lives: made the assumption that the hottest burning, most expensive spark plug is the best choice for our engine. In truth, spark plug selection really depends on the characteristics and specifications of your engine. Not running the correct plug type ortemperature
MAKING SENSE OF LS ENGINE CODES The RPO codes identify the base model of the vehicle along with options such as paint color, engine, infotainment system, wheels, etc”.

TECH CORNER: TOP FIVE 5.9 CUMMINS MODS AND WHY THEY WORK Hence why swapping the intake and exhaust manifolds is next on our list of worthy 5.9 Cummins mods. This upgrade, paired with a better fuel system will be key to supporting big power builds. aFe Power, ATS, and BD Diesel Performance are just a few great names to turn to for durable diesel intake and exhaust manifolds. TECH CORNER: FABRICATING YOUR OWN EXHAUST BATTLE OF THE LIFTERS: FLAT TAPPET VS ROLLER, SOLID VS With solid lifters, valve lash will need to be set and adjusted from time to time. (Valve lash is the clearance between the rocker arm and the tip of the valvestem.) This is a crucial setting, as it will determine the performance and lifespan of the valvetrain and will keep valve duration and lift on key with the cam’s specs. THE DEBATE RAGES ON: AIR LOCKERS OR E Often, e-lockers are used as factory equipment on many vehicles. (Toyota, Ford, GM, and Chrysler all sell models that come stock with this style of locking differential.) In the debate of air lockers or e-lockers, this tends to add fuel to fire. It gives the sense that because manufacturers rely on e-lockers, so should the aftermarket. JEEP LS SWAP: WRANGLING MORE POWER WITH A V8 Frankly, this is extremely surprising considering how popular V8 swaps are for JK and JL Wranglers. Just turn to this past SEMA show, where Maximum Elevation, Freedom Fabworks, and Bruiser Conversions all showed off some impressive V8 Jeep builds.

But there are two different styles of BREAKING DOWN CARBURETED LS VS EFI The 1,100- to 1,300-cfm dual carbs are good only over a narrow range, about 1,500 rpm at most. EFI performs well over 2,000 rpm or more. On average, if optimized, both systems perform about the same as far as how fast you get down the track. However, the EFI system is much easier to tune than a FORD FX4 OFF-ROAD PACKAGE: IS IT WORTH IT? Since the F-150 is bulkier than the Ranger, and therefore a little less nimble off-road, its FX4 package isn’t quite as robust. Additionally, it cannot be paired with the 3.3L Ti-VCT engine option. That said, those who opt for the upgrade gain the expected electronic-locking rear diff, Hill Descent Control, and Rancho shocks,plus skid plates

CAN I TOW THAT? CALCULATING YOUR VEHICLE’S TOWING CAPACITY Something many hopeful towers often don’t consider is the role that road quality, elevation changes, and weather can play on towing capacity. “Gas motors lose power as elevation rises,” says Camper Report. “According to the 2016 Ford towing guide, gas engines lose 3-4% of their power for every 1,000 feet above sea level.
