Ranger Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think it is safe, just not necessary like it is on the Northstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adallak Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I do not do much WOTs since my driving pattern is mostly highways 75-80 MPH and TB end EGR tubes are clean. I think 4.9 does not need WOTs as frequently as N* does. I did it a couple of times last fall, put it in 2-nd and WOTed (a new word ) starting at 30 MPH all the way up to 85 MPH and left pedal to slow down to 30 MPH. Repeated this cycle three times. Stopped the car looked at the ATF deepstick and it was covered with bubbles . Never sow bubbles before. It looks like the transmission oil gets really hot during WOTs. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Fenwick Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Cadillacdub, Do a WOT or two, look out the back for black smoke and soot. If there is none you don't need to do it. ' bet it will be fun though! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I do it with my 92 Eldorado with a 4.9L. Dont be surprised if you see black smoke a couple times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
