While performing a tire dressing decontamination/application of CarPro BlackOut, I discovered a slight wobble to the LR wheel. A quick search for this blue oval newbie showed me that the FoMoCo reliability of the bearing hub is wanting...the mean time between failure being somewhere between 1k...
OK DFB5.0, jumped on the last car of the nano-coat train and thought I'd see how Blackout would look after I sliced and diced those pesky nibs.
I took your advice about the tires needing to absolutely clean and now I can see why some folks don't have great results with the product. I used CP...
Shout out in advance to the gray beards and savvy aficionados of all things *clean and swirl free* who helped propel my car care technology to the 21st century (or in tech speak, I just tossed my flip phone in the campfire...stby for interesting flames from the fire pit lol).
I cut my teeth on...
I just snagged Griot's 3" G8 ROB and thought I'd give the SPTA pads a go FTW. Since they'll end up in a ziplock bag, I got out the sharpie to remind my steel sieve of a memory where each one sits in their color schema.
I started using a PC7424 ROB about 20 years ago when there were really on...
My recent acquisition of my first GT350 came with long to-do list of upgrades and elbow grease to get it where I wanted it. I've been using Sal Zaino's products for 20+ years although none of his products will 'fill' micro marring like a good can of carnauba wax can with far less effort. But...
Howdy Gents-
Got the Res Del installed and felt like one of Jerry's Kids trying to measure the damned cut point...I think I must have been dropped on my head a few times as a kid b/c the LTH instructions say to cut 2.25" aft of the shield clamp but this is waayyyyy short of where I ended up...
Relative fresh owner of an '18 here still smiling wider than a teenager in a brothel with a new credit card and a $5,000 limit. I was a bit dismayed by the HAZMAT cloud created by the OEM pads from merely backing out of the garage let alone doing any threshold braking while letting the ponies...
There are limited posts about any throttle mappers 'round these parts and wondering if anybody has had any hiccups with the SpeedForm Throttle Controller. I found some posts elsewhere but they were limited to the 5.0's vice the 5.2.
I put a Sprint Boost in my 996 GT-3 and it was a night and day...
Still getting acquainted with the new mistress and, for the life of me, I've never encountered such a mystery when it comes to determining where the oil level is on the dipstick.
I have read a bunch here about waiting 15 min after shutdown on a warmed up engine, that the bottom of the dipstick...
After spending a day cleaning baked-on brake dust, I hit the word-of-mouth pad reviews here and I'm going to give the Z26's a shot to see how the bite compares to OEM. The stock pads are notably worthwhile and incredibly effective; that said, the copious tonnage of brake dust blows dead goats...
Quick pulse check to see if anybody has enrolled with Olive to provide warranty service. I have it on the wife's SQ5 for $40/mo and just put the 350 on it seeing as how the Ford Premium Care warranty my PO had turns out to NOT be transferable as it was already transferred from original owner to...
Howdy Gents and whomever ladies hang out in the snake pit-
I've been voraciously consuming data from all y'all as I get up to speed on the newest addition to the stable- an '18 blue over white w/ 17k miles. Been lusting hard for a few years after letting a 502 BBC go in '19 to fund a race...
