In this episode, I upgrade my 1963 Ford Galaxie Wagons brakes. This bucket still has drum brakes but it was time to upgrade the master cylinder. I then grabbed a few friends, took a long test drive, and went to Trejos Tacos in Los Angeles, California.

Ford 5.0L Coyote Engine
The Coyote is a 5.0 liter, naturally aspirated V8 engine from Ford Motor used to power sports cars like the Ford Mustang and pickup trucks like the Ford F-150. Featuring a dual overhead cam (DOHC) design, in a V configuration, the Ford Coyote architecture has been part of the Ford Modular family since 2011. The engine has seen some revisions since then, the most recent being in 2018.
This engine was first engineered for the Mustang GT so it could compete with the GM 6.2L LS3 engine used in the Chevrolet Camaro at the time. The Coyote had to remain the same size as the outgoing 4.6-liter V8. It was also Ford’s first implementation of its Twin independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) technology on a V8 engine, a feature which considerably improves fuel economy and power delivery all while reducing emissions.
About Ridetech
Ridetech started in 1996 with a vision of building a better lowered car. Using air suspension to accomplish the task, our reputation as innovators, problem solvers, and just good folks to deal with, helped us grow quickly.
It was just what we do – we Hot Rod. To us, Hot Rodding means you can always do better and “no” is never an acceptable answer.
Can we make a vintage car drive, handle and perform as well as a modern super car – YES!
Can we make a truck ride as good as your family sedan (even with massive changes in load) – YES!
Can we take a car built to handle on rails and provide a smooth compliment ride – YES!
Being a Hot Rodder is more than parts and problem solving, if you are one too, then you already know what we mean. It is a lifestyle and a passion, and it is built on sharing with friends. Being a Hot Rodder means you never enter any town as a stranger, you always have fellow enthusiast to sit down with and feel at home. This is why we spend so much of our time and resources on attending events, we want to meet you and hear about your story – even if you aren’t a customer, even if you buy someone else’s product…
Our approach to problem solving, “can-do” perspective and relationship driven business tactics have provided openings into many areas of business including agriculture, commercial transport and defense projects as well… but at the core, we remain true to who we are – we are Hot Rodders.
