I swear half the reason I won’t vote for a certain political party is simply because they want to ban basically every damn thing that I like.

Well it held vacuum so I went ahead and charged it to see what would happen. Refrigerant is pretty cheap, it only takes 2 12 oz cans. It is ice cold now, 80 degrees outside and the car is in the sun, with outlet temps on the dash reading in the 30s. Everything seems perfectly normal now. I have...

Quick follow up: Borrowed the unit to recover refrigerant, a tank, and a scale. I ran the recovery operation and only got out 3/4 of a pound. Hood sticker calls for 1.5 pounds. Verified there is no pressure left in the system, at least at each Schrader valve. I pulled a vacuum on it for...

It’s a 2016. Sounds reasonable to me that everything needs to be gone through if a blockage is the case. Looking at Rockauto they’ve got all the parts to change everything for a reasonable price. I know some would balk at replacing with non-Motorcraft, but considering the reputation of the AC...

On Sunday I discovered that my AC suddenly isn’t working. After a bit of troubleshooting, I found that the compressor clutch immediately disengages after receiving a call for AC. According to Forscan, there are no codes present, and the PIDs related to AC show nothing unusual, with the exception...

Man that sucks. I thought that was resolved in the 18 and up models. My 16 has it, I’m letting it get a little uglier before I spring for the new hood.

Mine do this also. There is a fan blowing the heat up through the seat.

I would check the wheel bearings.

Yep, this right here. Some of them may have shit taste, but at least they are into cars, or trucks, or ATVs, or motorcycles etc. I pretty much consider manually controlled locomotion to be a human right, but there is a relatively small group of freaks, geeks, and weirdos that think we should all...

Burble tunes are lame and sound like shit. We also don’t need any more damn laws. I seriously doubt anyone has died from a burble tune.

I would say just about any gloss black enamel carefully applied would minimize the appearance.

Normal operation. Enjoy your car.

I can’t really say for sure since I do my own oil changes at home, but I would imagine the cost at most shops would be pretty similar to what you guys are paying, or more. Sounds like you’re getting a pretty good price especially with an air filter included. Doing it myself, I pay 56 dollars for...

Yes it’s an old thread from the dead, and I don’t have a 10R80 car, but it is interesting anyway that they are speccing LV in that particular application. I’ve been fond of straying from manufacturer specified fluids quite a bit over the years and nothing has blown up on me yet. I’ve ran...

I’m fairly certain that is molded into the intake tube and cannot be bought separately. If yours broke you may be able to find a similar fitting and somehow rig it up.

How do the ultra flows sound now with the h pipe and resonator? How loud?

Just broken in.

In my opinion 72k is a young motor if it’s just been street driven and taken care of. Also I wouldn’t sweat the lifter noise unless it comes back.

Whew good catch. It’s probably something everyone should keep an eye on as these cars age and that rubber starts to deteriorate.

I’m at 63k miles and have dropped the pan twice. Both times the fluid looked good. I used Valvoline Maxlife ATF, trans shifts great. It is an easy job, except for the stupid little dipstick being an inch away from the cat.
