The only lights on ebay are used, if insurance is paying I would insist on new units, factory oem if at all possible. Did you check with any dealers? try this...

There's something really sketchy about that one, aside from a minor spot on the front bumper there's no visible damage anywhere that would warrant parting out the car. Maybe it is a legit sale from a theft recovery, but I'm always skeptical about anything coming from CL. If the insurance paid...

I just watched a video that showed Dyno results for 5 different manifolds on a 2021 F150 tuned for e85 and CAI with no other mods. 2 of the manifolds tested were a stock 2018 GT and a ported 2018 GT. The tester was quite surprised that the ported GT manifold made absolutely no improvement at all...

I wondered that also, if they just made the whole thing with aluminum there'd be no issue. Does using steel for the underside support frame really save enough cost to offset all of the warranty replacements?

Another option for being able to rotate the tires is to pick up another pair of the 9" front wheels to replace the 9.5" wheels in back. They will fit on the back better than trying to put the rear wheels on the front. You could run 265's if you're really concerned about the width...

Thanks, I'll check him out 👍

Do you know (or can you measure) if the pipe from the cats is any bigger than on the GT? The GT has just 2.25" pipe there. Also, what is the diameter of the cats?

Still available?

Hey everyone, while on a road trip a few weeks ago a careless BMW driver sideswiped my car and I'm in need of a good quality shop to handle the repairs. I live about an hour north of Tampa, a town called Hudson. I will admit to being very particular when it comes to paint work, as I'm sure a...

Have you tried using loctite on the nut when you tighten it? Might keep it from loosening again and it's cheaper than a new clamp.

A catted H pipe would be used to connect long tube headers to a cat-back exhaust system and uses aftermarket catalytic converters that may or may not reduce emissions as well as factory cats, depending on their quality. Some States would fail that setup simply based on a visual inspection...

Yes, I searched all of the usual online venues, including eBay, as well as several local salvage yards and tire shops. It's as you said, all I was able find locally was a complete set of 4. After a couple hours of exploring my options I ended up ordering a new wheel with overnight shipping so...

An incident on the road last night left me driving on my space saver spare and I have a 300 mile drive to get home which I'd rather not do on the spare. Once I get home I'll be dealing the overall repair issues including the broken wheel, but for right now I just a wheel to put on the car to...

IMO, your only option is to plead your case to Ford Customer Care. Tell them you took it to a dealer before the warranty expired but they refused to help. There should be a record of your visit to the dealer to back up your claim. The TSB on this issue has been out for a while, so the question...

I would guess no. On the LE quarter windows, the chrome trim is attached to the rubber seal that surrounds the glass, effectively making it a one piece assembly. I imagine all of the quarter windows are assembled in the same way, Bullitt included. One member here who installed the LE windows...
