Sounds about right. I normally wash with a stripper wash to get any old coatings off, clay, iron remover, orange pad with compound, white pad with polish, and then wax. Has worked well for me on my black car. You really want to use a polish and white pad after using an orange pad, especially if...
I feel like this failed quickly. I check my gauges often and didn't notice any signs of it overheating and did not smell any coolant. On my last drive, about 30min before it, failed I started hearing a squealing as the fluid hit the belt, but I was in traffic and just assumed it was one of the...
Thanks for the replies everyone. Just frustrated. Sucked being an hour from home and have this happen and then AAA take over 24 hours to arrive (they're supposed to be there in 5min, we shall see). On top of that I just had my blend door actuator replaced 3 weeks ago for the 3rd time and within...
Good to know. I wasn't sure. It was pretty hot and once I seen there was no coolant left I figured it was best to shut it down immediately. My brother-in-law's shop was about 3 miles from it but I think that would have been pretty risky considering the time of day and traffic, plus it was...
Yeah, it's definitely a different smell. Smelled like fish lol. I didn't see steam until I pulled over after the light came on. I had issues with head gaskets on my SN95's many years ago but that had more of a sweet typical antifreeze smell. It was weird though, I only started smelling it...
I wish. 24 hours late
I wish, 24 hours later and no tow truck. Car still in a bad spot on the side of the road and I had to run back down, a 50min drive, at 12am to close my window because storms rolled through and I left it open some for the driver, since he was supposed to be there in an...
Thanks. I think I pulled it over and shut it down in time. Regardless, it's under warranty, so I'm pretty happy I went with the 8 year extended warranty. AAA roadside on the other hand is terrible. Called for a tow at 1pm and it's now 2:30am and I'm still waiting.
Today while driving I started hearing a squeal on the road, but I assumed it was the car in front of me since my car is in perfect shape with only 27k miles. Later, I noticed a smell and a few minutes after that my dash lit up red with an overheating warning. I checked the temp gauge and see...
Selling a set of 20" Foundry wheels. Came stock on my 16' GT. Have about 5k miles on them. (see photos). Plasti dipped in matte black. One wheel has curb rash (see photo). I believe there's 2 plugs in the tires. Please let me know if you have any questions or need more photos. Located in PA...
Selling a California Special front chin spoiler. Used it on my 2016 for about a year. Can include a stock belly pan if needed. Too large to ship. Located in PA near Philly.
Does anyone know what number is best to call for Ford to get a claim number or find out if a claim the dealer told me they submitted was actually submitted? I took my car in before my warranty was up last July for the hood corrosion issue. The dealer keeps telling me they haven't heard back from...
haha yep. From the start I knew I wanted a new loaded diff. from Ford. I know some shops do great work with gear installs, but there's also a lot of shops out there that do sub par work when it comes to installs, and I didn't want to chance it. The last thing I wanted was gear whine on an...
Yep. I'm not sure If the 3:73 is still available. I haven't been able to find one if they are, but I do remember back when they did sell them. Like you said it was more like $1800 for the 3:73 because it only came with Torsen. The 3:55 definitely is a great deal considering you get a whole...
If it wasn't a daily, I probably would have went with the 3:73, but most people told me that 3:55 was the better option, at the time. I think the 3:55 on the 6R80 is close to 3:73 on the 15-17' MT82 cars. Also, I wanted a new complete rear and I'm not sure they sell them for the 3:73? I've only...
American Muscle had the best price and free shipping, so I bought it there. However, the first one they sent me came in a torn box, soaked in diff fluid, with a broken flange. They wouldn't let me drop it off at their warehouse which is close to my home so I had to purchase a second one, have...
