Thanks again for that tip. I had a great chat with The assistant service manager Michael Long at Bickford Ford in Snohomish. Great guy, very helpful and honest when I asked him questions about aftermarket parts, warranty and ford performance's tuning pack. They don't mind aftermarket parts so...
I've never been more proud, Tacobell is everyone's not so secret pleasure.
if you're a football and craft beer fan. You'll find my ass sitting at Elliot bay pizza on 164th and BE hwy every Monday and Thursday night til the season is done.
Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm just up Seatle hill road near Twisted lime pub. I'll keep my eyes peeled for your car. Are there any car shows around here? I've done alki beach and golden gardens when I used to have my evos and slobarus.
Hey guys, I wanted to check in with everyone and see who ya'll are going to for dealership stuff.
My wife bought the care from Bill Pierre Ford in Seattle... but they are so slimy. Their prices are a joke and their service is equally appalling. I just don't want to give them my business so...
So I'm going to rule out the engine because I just got back and the vibration in the pedal and steering wheel was constant between 5th and 6th. 3rd and 4th had the same vibration feel though I can't verify intensity due to the RPM's kicking up and adding their own vibration. It starts at 53mph...
This is what I'm feeling. I'm ~800 miles in and started feeling pulsating at the gas pedal at ~55-62 then goes away. Is this the same problem or different?
edit: Mods below, i've only tested this in 6th gear (automatic transmission), gunna go take a drive and test 4 and 5 as well.
are you guys powering through a corner when you feel this? are you lifting off? constant speed? I have the base ecoboost and I only feel the rear end move when i'm heavy footed in a corner.
I'm also wondering if you guys just aren't used to 4 wheel independant suspension or if i'm just used to...
There are other specialty fuel additives if you think you have bad gas, I like seafoam personally. If you do fear using that gas, the better safe than sorry option would be siphoning gas but if you had bad gas, I would imagine you'd get consistent problems until you put in a new tank. I'm just...
TL : DR Different oils are used for different applications and driving styles.
newer engines with tighter tolerances don't burn as much oil as older ones and a catch can will at least slow that problem.
To answer your question straightforward, yes. But you should confirm the life of your oil...
OTS tunes just don't match up to a good custom tune because a OTS tune has to work in all conditions in all areas so a OTS tune will be conservative just to be safe. A tune in Seattle will not be the same as a tune for a car in Denver or Miami where there are different variables like air...
Do you have an approximate speed, RPM and gear you were in? Also same question, what mods and are you tuned? Either way if you have logs to share that'd be great, it would help shed alotta light on what happened.
Check your spark plugs and wiring system, only takes a couple minutes and then we...
So is there a diverter valve installed or is there not? You haven't answered that question. The line that comes from the turbo, is it capped? It is going to an aftermarket diverter valve? is it going to the stock unit? Is it just venting into the engine freely? Are you using the right spring...
You don't have a DV or BOV so where is that air going? How is it being managed? if its making a noise, does that mean you just pulled the line and it's flowing into the engine bay? My question is, how many warning lights are you seeing on your dash and how is your car even moving? What you're...
Lets clarify some terms here first.
A CAI (cold air intake) doesn't vent anywhere, if it did. It would consider that a leak and a possible loss in power.
There are a couple sounds when it comes to turbos, the most iconic sound would be the the DV (Diverter Valve) or BOV (blow off valvue)...
Maybe you prefer the feeling of a solid axle? Assuming your alignment is where it should be, maybe the difference you're feeling is the tires adjusting to the road individually as compared to them being tied together. I can only associate the feelings you're getting when I push the car hard...
When you say wiggle, do you mean tires literally slipping or wiggle like soft springs? Does this happen while going straight or going around a corner? Are you maintaining a certain speed, accelerating, braking? Have you checked your tires and have you ruled out wheel alignment?
When I think...
