Update 10/17/22
Car arrived from Indiana safe and sound. I got a chance to go register it & drive it a few hundred miles on Saturday.
-Ordered KW V3 Coilovers. The combination of Bilstein shocks/struts & H&R lowering springs is a bit too jarring for my liking. The V3's should help lower it a little and play with dampening to help the ride quality.
-Ordered a full oil change kit (10W40 Liquimoly w/ MoS2)
-Ordered NGK plugs & (snake oil) Dinan coils
-Bought a set of Style 87 wheels w/ winter tires on them, now just need to find a set of rears so I can run them squared after the winter.
-Bought a Dinan exhaust that needs some love and came off a 4.8is. Ordered new tips from Dinan & I'm going to redo the piping connections with my stock 4.6is link pipes w/ Vbands to be able to swap between stock and Dinan.
Still need to figure out what direction I want to go with the head unit. I want carplay & each system (Dynavin, Avin, Eonon, Xtron) has it's own downsides. I can't help myself, I don't want to look at the stock screen with the burn ins. Does anyone have a screen that isn't shot they would be willing to part with?
Rarely during the trip I noticed a hard 2-1 downshift when the car was warm & approaching a light. I did a bunch of reading up and found multiple answers to this problem. First thing I'm going to do that could help the situation or at least help the overall health of the transmission is grab a universal transmission cooler & go from there.
Otherwise, I'm loving the new truck & it's a great upgrade from the 3.0i I had been daily driving.
Pictures!
