But you have a really good clear coat you are applying to the new keys. Of course you ensured the surface was prepped before spraying (without damaging the lettering) I would assume.

Sitting back and observing the last decade of Shelby/Ford relationships, I sensed a personal bond between Carroll and Ford that kept that fire going. Once Carroll passed, the fire in the gut between those two entities waned....no shock....because Carroll was no longer the tangible face of the...
Doing some research, I leaned that rotors on the 2001 and 2007 sport bikes I had were made from high carbon stainless steel. So you got the benefits of the high carbon content, but at the same time didn't have to be concerned with rust. I did have a bit of noise on my 2007 bike but I can't say...
When I first saw the pics I was reminded of people who drove through residual storm surge water here in Florida last year.
But...having had a car shipped to Germany and then back to the US decades ago, I know how corrosive the trip across the ocean can be.
It was my understanding that automakers...
Thanks for sharing. I was initially shocked at the recommendation, but after reading more documentation, the recommendation is across Ford engines having a PCM. But...I must have the accelerator at OVER 80% throttle to disable the fuel injectors.
Anyway, while I've never had a situation...
I realize Ford took a lot of flack about the Whipple hold, but kudos, kudos, kudos to Ford for a) recognizing there's a potential catastrophic result if one check failed, and b) holding vehicles until the issue was fully understood and addressed. Redundancy checks and balances are a good...
I can understand being upset when quality does not meet expectations, but there's another side to addressing issues.
Are we wanting to vent? That is natural.
Are we wanting to see change? Venting to people who have no ability to accomplish change is probably not the avenue to pursue.
Do we...
I recall when radials had low speed "wobble" due to the design/materials. When sitting overnight, especially on cold nights they would become "flat" on the side where the tire was parked overnight. But when the tires warmed up, the flatness would go away.
That said, there are still tires that...
It would be interesting to hear exactly which label they change, and what field(s) on that label was/were incorrect. Based on the estimated time to fix, I seriously doubt it is the dash VIN label visible through the windshield. Whew!
AWESOME IDEA. Thanks for sharing how the removal process works.
I only have a large gear puller, so as an alternative I possibly would use a deep-well socket just the right clearance diameter, and then apply force on the fitting's top to drive the fitting out of the grommet/seal. Of course...
It sounds like Ford may see a risk and is intent on avoiding pointing fingers. Over my four decades of manufacturing career, it was generally the last person who touched the product that got blamed. (The thought process was that the person down the assembly line who also worked on the part...
