    Eco-boost content

    One out of the how many million on the road? Sounds like bad luck more than bad quality. I have only heard of a handful of ecoboosts blowing apart. The one was retuned into an 8 second car. The engineers figure the turbines were spinning around 300K RPM when the blade wobbled just enough to...

    F150 got some loving this afternoon

    EWW. I hate tire shine. I have almost broken ankles and my tailbone on multiple occasions because some idiots put tire shine where it doesn't belong.

    What is your favorite mod or mods you've done?

    I dunno, there are so many good ones. The 4.0 clutch is nice, but so are my seats, my M5OD, my 4-wheel disc brakes... my lights just look awesome, and when I see pics of it before the grille guard it just looks weird now. My least favorite is the limited slip, but that is because I was too...

    Ford Spray in Bed-liner

    I am not 100% sure. There are a few local accessory and body shops that do it. Which one we send stuff out to is probably determined by who our general manager is pissed off at at the moment.

    Ford Spray in Bed-liner

    Well I know we don't do them in house where I work, we send them out. I would make sure to give them very specific instructions (including a written set taped to the steering wheel) that all the bed bolts and the tailgate access panel are to be removed before spraying. If those get sprayed over...

    engine dies at a redlight

    Would you let a doctor cut into you without know what is wrong first? Don't shuck out a single dollar for car repairs (except for diagnostics) until you have had the problem explained in terms that you can understand. The torque converter doesn't "make it shift". The converter is just a...

    engine dies at a redlight

    Huh? What exactly is the name of this "part that makes it shift"? I can't think of any of those that would require transmission removal.

    heater core.

    You should be able to just unhook the heater hoses and drop the core out the bottom on a 93.

    Hmm, I know I have one around here somewhere. No, that's not it. Hmm, under truck... under dash.... under ground.... underwear.... Hmm, no under hood. Here is no hood: And here is what I was putting under the hood

    low volts/battery light

    I personally preferred the light that was on my 1978 Oldsmobile Omega. It was a big red square and in the middle it said "Generator". See everybody who isn't an engineer sees a "battery" light and says "Oh, there is a problem with my battery!" when really the battery is probable fine and the...

    Tips for removal? Torch. Tips for installation? Use the whole can on anti-sieze.

    low volts/battery light

    Ok, I do not understand why the engineers do this backwards. I also do not understand why after 20 years of them doing it backwards people still don't get this. The battery light does NOT indicate a problem with the battery!!!! It means the battery is being discharged. Hook the volt meter to...

    4wd

    The problem isn't with the hubs, it's somewhere in the shifting system's electronics.

    4wd

    It's spitting a code at you. Those E-4x4 systems are junk. The manual swap is the fix for it. You could also try cleaning the shift motor. That might help. Can't say for sure without codes.

    stupid cruise control buttons!

    It's not just a momentary contact. There is a resistance component to identify the button pushed.

    Wheel Bearing

    I don't think you can get the 4x4 bearings for the 98+ with anything other than an assembly. It is a sealed bearing assembly.
