My B-I-L bought all Ryobi stuff. They have a tool for just about anything. His stuff has held up well and always did the job.
I like to tinker and wrench on all of my own stuff. My kids got me a DeWalt impact driver and drill ~5 years ago. So, I got hooked into the DeWalt battery eco...
I believe GM is able to spread some of the costs around product lines. As stated in another post, the Camaro shares its chassis/underpinnings with Cadillac. The engine, (tooling, design, parts, etc) are shared across Cadillac, Corvette, Chevy Trucks, GMC Trucks, etc. The Mustang is basically...
I bought a set of the Harbor Freight wheel dollies. They are a little spendy, but when I had my nephews car torn apart, it made moving it around the garage a breeze. Did not have to worry about the steering.
I think the adjuster assembled a fair amount of circumstantial evidence to support that the car was in racing events. Stickers from VIR, roll cage, restraints, and upgraded brakes. All signs that the car was modified to participate in racing events, racing type events, etc. Also, the OP...
Its a good video. He sees them all the time, so I think he knows what he's talking about. He's probably tired of working on them. But, silver lining is, more leaky engines = more work for his shop. Ask just about any technician with experience and they'll tell you everything that is made...
If more sound is what you want, maybe pull the engine cover off, and the insulation on the firewall, and maybe the hood. But, the interior is going to get a little warmer and the paint on the hood may not last long.
If you had your clutch replaced and this has been acting up since, I would get a wiring diagram and figure out where the grounds are for the coils & injectors. I would inspect for a loose ground or possibly a pinched harness. it is a possibility that the harness including the ground may have...
I have a 22, stock spring seems to be fine. One of the easier manual transmission cars I've ever driven. Drive it a bit and see if you like it. If you remove the carbon trap that may mess with MAF sensor. ECU is programmed for a certain amount of air flow, if you pull the trap out airflow...
Every dealer that takes your car around for service no matter what it is; recall, warranty service, or general maintenance, wants to turn that service ticket into at least $400-$500. Dealer overhead is expensive; wages, 401k, heat, light, insurance, taxes, etc.
The last two times I've had my...
I met him last year at the CP Pony Parts customer appreciation day. He treated me very well and had a good conversation. It was a fun day at their event, lots of good looking cars.
Its kind of funny, I've rolled into a few Mustang events with my bone stock 22 with AE set in sport +, and I've had multiple people ask me what exhaust work I've had done because they thought it sounded great. When I told them nothing, I think they were a little disappointed. Glad your...
I'm kind of siding with Ford on this case. Roll cage, racing seats, enhanced brakes for track or high performance applications, markings or stickers from a track. In Ford's eyes you were banging your car around a track for who knows how long and under what conditions. Ford has replaced the...
Your wife sounds like a car person, almost a unicorn. It sounds like she likes throwing the Supra around a bit. And, the Supra is no slouch. Dude, be happy. Don't screw this up by pushing her into something that she may not like. You could be married to a person that would be happy with a...
Get a subscription to Motorcraft online for 24 hours. Put in your VIN, and take a look at the troubleshooting directions. You need to make sure you have power and ground going to the sensor. Is the sensor bad or is the wiring? You need to figure that out before swapping the evaporator out...
This is concerning:
My battery is from March 2020, and I have few problems with it running out (like battery would deplete just after 2 weeks of the car sitting in garage; I don't drive much).
You have a module or something that is not shutting off, or waking back up when it should not be...
P0305 is a misfire on cylinder #5. Keep all aftermarket stuff unplugged and go through a full drive cycle or 2. You can play swaptronics and throw parts at it if the CEL comes back or a better strategy is to let Ford figure it out.
