Installing the rear sway bar today. Those bolts are pretty tight. Seems they all have loctite on them.

Plan is to do front at a later date simultaneously along with the Reische thermostat since I'll have to take out the intake for both.

Has anyone got a price for tinting the rear lights? I had a joker try and say $500. I laughed and hung up.

Are you talking vinyl tinting? And just to install or to make the vinyl and then install? If just install I have been quoted $100 from 2 places. Can buy the tint packs from anchor room for red or black tint or also Dennis on the forums for red tint. About $100 including shipping for a set of red tints from Dennis. Think anchor room was slightly less.

Done. With the billet upgrade added.

Was going to do the subframe support braces too, but unfortunately I need a 10mm Allen socket to torque it down. Zzzz.... Should have rewatched the CJ video. :p

Guess I'll have to re-jack and do it Thursday or something.

I just had a thought (dangerous and lonely as it was)

Many are worried about the impact of a tune for warranty etc. If you get a tune will ford know? If something breaks are you covered? if you tune will the ford techs screw it up at service?

Surely though something like a nGauge solves that? You have a tune emailed in, you upload to your tuner and then your car. If something goes wrong or your going for service, you restore factory tune and no one is the wiser?

I am sure its not that simple but it seems like a solution to the problem. I am probably just talking out my butt. Hybrid how has yours been? was this your thinking?

yes you can flash your stock tune back in prior to service however there is a log that says how many times your software has been updated, so every time the car goes in for a service it gets flashed back to stock, then back to your tune after the service. There will be an unusually high number of re flashes.

Has been said they leave a record - I can't remember off-hand if its a simple counter that records how many times the tune has been written or if its more complex than that, but Ford can tell.

There was a rumour that Ford will be offering warranty backed tunes at some stage, but who knows when/if that'll ever eventuate.

iirc it's a simple counter for flashes. Leaves the factory with 1, and if Ford need to reflash for any reason then they keep track of that in their system. Any additional flashes will show up in the count
