I would talk to Superchips... it could very well be their module causing the issue

E10 has been the norm since the 90's. If you have a classic vehicle with a carburetor, sure, be concerned. On a 2019, it's engineered using standards that have assumed Ethanol blends for almost 30 years.

Interesting - I have eTorque and the MDS transition is barely noticeable, so I didn't know if the motor helping out with load transitions made it less noticeable. I guess it really is just a certain batch of truck owners

Out of curiosity, do you have eTorque?

Again, to each their own. My only argument in this thread are comments like "you're a fool if you bought this for fuel mileage" ..because the features that separate the fuel mileage from the Tundra -for example - make a big difference compared to a big dumb V8 that runs as a V8 100% of the time...

I'm not telling him what to do - I'm just pointing out that it's *not* foolish to buy a truck based on its fuel economy; especially if you're driving a truck either way you might as well buy the truck that saves you money. My point - if we're discussing what's "foolish" - was more that there are...

I'm foolish for saving $500 every year? My old Hemi, no MDS, no eTorque got 12 MPG on my daily stop-and-go commute - my current truck gets almost 18 MPG with the same driving style. Even if gas stays at $2 a gallon, that's roughly $510 every year. If gas goes back up to $3.50/gallon, I'm saving...

You understood 100% correctly That's... kinda what "plug-in" hybrids are for.....

Hell yeah. Hopefully it's a plug-in Hybrid - I'd love to couple electric torque with some solar power some day

I have Rough Country - it's done well for me so far

Did you expect olive green to cost more in 2021? Looks like a 2021 model year to me - some things are obviously going to carry over from the year before. I'd be a little alarmed if every cost and color changed from year to year...

Yup, three weeks is not a long time. A full quarter on the books? Then they'll want to move it

Kryptonite how? As in mods you can't say no to? Mine would have to be headers. I've ruined plenty of vehicles with intakes and exhausts, but once I had access to a dyno and saw how it's *literally* just noise, the only car I have an exhaust on is the racecar (for weight). Good headers, on the...

Personally, I tend to take advantage of the progressive brake switch - if you just hold the brake really lightly or start to release the brake before taking off, it should start the engine... takes practice, though

I've also noticed that a lot of folks complaining about MDS don't have eTorque - I'm not sure if they're tweaking crank speed to make it less noticeable, but it definitely seems to make a difference.

Hey man, go install it - plenty of folks buy random **** because they think they know more than the people who made the engine ‍ :sneaky:

Back in 1994? Yeah, it probably made sense to bump the idle to charge the battery, run hydraulics, or to control a PTO valve... but there's no note about helping engine longevity... lord knows the 7.3 could use all the help it could get (and keep in mind, that was over 20 years ago!)...

Ah, if only everyone would just RTFM. I told my neighbor this exact same thing, yet they still idle their car for 30 minutes on a mild Texas morning. Thanks for giving me hope for the average truck owner. No, raising the idle speed *manually* only exacerbates the issue. Idle at 800 RPM or 1100...

If you haven't noticed a theme yet, the cluster is probably *under* estimating that fuel usage. Port-injected V8's use a lot of fuel at idle, and putting on 0 miles at a stop means your average is going to plummet. This is why a lot of folks are excited about e-Torque - compared to my last Hemi...

You also picked an example of a truck with a 6-8k towing capacity and a 1k payload - the suspension of the *Raptor* was designed for off-roading, not towing. There's obviously a limit - and *double* the payload capacity is definitely there. The standard F150 Ecoboost, on the other hand, has a...
