Okay, how do you know they didn't do that and still got those temps at the end. How do you know that your temps would be any different. My point being, if they didn't take the temps then no one would think anything about it since the brakes worked fine the whole way down. You or anyone else doesn't take their rotor temps after towing so how do they know they would not get the same reading? So back to my main question. How does anybody know if they did something wrong going by the temps if they don't know what the right temp should be? Thats all I am asking.

So since nobody knows and you seem to have access to them, you should tell them to at least record them setting the gain or at least tell us what the gain settings were. They never mention setting gain other than admitting that they must have done it wrong. That's poor reviewing and should've been cause for a repeat attempt. This doesn't go just for the Ford, this goes for every single one.

I have gone back in forth with him on emails just as I have with Mark Williams at Pickuptrucks.com and Mike Levine at Ford. Just shoot him an email and he will get your questions answered. Trust me, he will enjoy listening to your critics and ways to make his videos better.

May do that when I'm not busy, heck maybe a link to the thread would help.

Interesting but a pretty lame comparison. Way too many variables and no control data. I like Fords but for those guys at Chevy and Toyota this challenge would not deter staying with their brand.

So after watching the new runs with the GM 6.2 it looks like it is pretty neck and neck with the EB. GM spent how much to make a truck that is basically even with its biggest competitor's soon to be old version. I have always been a fan of GM products but it just seems like they are spending immense amounts of money to just keep up lately.
