No issues. Install was really simple aside from the weird angles you have to take to get the clips off the motor housing.
If the wiring harness gets messed up during install then the user is doing something wrong.
My squeak was fixed also. The tailight bolt was loose and the other squeak was from the suspension. That one was fixed by accident by putting about 600 pounds of "stuff" in the trunk driving it home. I noticed right after that the noise was gone.
Yea ive decided to look into other options. Def one of the best cars out there but Ford let me down in so many ways on this one. Ive stopped endorsing them lol
Yup still waiting on my refund for the taxes. They played hard ball on me and forced me to take the buyback offer that was not "in...
My stang was bought back 2-3 months ago. Glad I got rid of the headache. For the noise you can pin point where its coming from with a stethoscope. My noise was in the motor and had scoring on the cylinder walls.
Havent bought a replacement. Dont know what to get.
Thank you for adding that video. After having the stock exhaust, Corsa Exhaust, I will say that it almost isn't worth the price if you like the way the stock system sounds. My gripe is that the stock system looks like poop so I'd still advise on a mid pipe and maybe a cat delete or headers. Then...
I got my purchase price minus my taxes paid, gap, interest paid on loan, and payments. The annoying thing is they could have put the taxes, gap, and interest on my offer but instead I now have to run all over trying to get that back from the DMV and insurance company. Because they took so long I...
Hopefully they pay them off quick. Just made a payment so im not 30 days late. RAV sucks... The process was ridiculously long considering you upload everything to their site. Everytime something was needed from me i had it up within the hour. Then it took them 4+ days to look at it.
They...
Buyback almost done. My car has been released to the dealer and they are paying it off. For those of you wondering.... It took almost 2 months to do something that could have been done in a week.
I have been away from the thread but wanted to give an update. Ford gave me my offer for the vehicle but they are not trying to give me my down payment or payments back. The analyst is not going along with my states lemon law. Lawyer looked into it and gave me some info. I will take it up the...
Welp....I know im doing the buy back but I was relieved to find out the noise was gone. Of course that was short lived as now the noise is back. Started happening during the ride back home from work. Just cruising at 2k rpms and then a flutter like rattle suddenly happened and then after that...
Long block is just a short block along with oil pan, cylinder heads and cams. The intake parts and fuel systems are carried over from the old engine.
The 2K rattle that is in my video and Big River's video is not the fuel system. It was piston slap. The rattle we hear is not the fuel system...
This noise isn't the fuel system it is piston slap. I can hear the fuel system also. This was confirmed when they changed the block and the new motor barely has the noise at all.
More than likely my engine was out of spec. Now it's more in spec.
Been driving the car a little with the new engine. I can sort of hear the noise i heard. Not too worried about it since its so low. I have to focus to hear it. If my old noise was a 10 this noise would be a 2.
My car sounds better also. Its not just me...everyone says it sounds louder. Not...
Longblock complete. As i cruise I hear 5.0 beauty coming out of my pipes, the crazy voice in my head telling me to destroy the planet, and Octane put on low volume.
No rattle during cruise.
I want to say I sort of hear the noise still but honestly its probably nothing.
Sad to report the...
