9:10am 5.0 TA east bound on I40, just outside of Albuquerque.

That is what the EMS is doing. I'm speculating that replacing the main jet on the 2200 might get enough power to start/run. Then adding an Easy Start would make me feel better about continued use...

Same results here yesterday. My progressive EMS kicked it out once the AC tried to start. We are at 7000' and it was about 92 deg. (94 today) so a good test of the 2200 at elevation and temp.

+1 on the 2.7 and 5.5 box. Tows like a dream, great combo. I got the truck before I knew Escape 5.0TA existed. I'd go for a 6.5 bed if buying a new one.

NM park closures are part of a larger effort to slow the spread of the virus. Heath care systems here will likely be overloaded so slowing down things will help.
