  2. BUYER BEWARE - CarSmarti's or Public Safety Crime Center - Solicitation for Tracking Stolen Car Service....

    they just data mine every state DMV database for new registrations and send them out by the millions hoping someone is stupid enough to take the bait. If my car is stolen I don't want it back. I have been in the business too long and seen too many recovered thefts that have had tens of...

  4. TPMS Receiver Fault?

    TPMS sensors are the one problem I hate to deal with Assuming that since 3 sensors are working the receiver that is on the left side of the trunk behind the trim is working, if you can isolate out the bad sensor great, if not then you need a tool that reads the sensors on the wheels and...

    My car is about 2000 miles since the last change and it is at 45% and dropping every day due to Fords calculations that are not only factoring mileage, type of use, etc but it will never let you go more than 12 months without prompting you for an oil change.

    If I did that in our shop my tool box would be sitting outside the door. We use a plastic scraper to pry the weights off then hit it with carb cleaner to get rid of the glue residue. Just as an aside, this was on our alignment machine yesterday. It is not unusual for us to get very high end...

  19. White noise - ANC - 26 Ecoboost - help

    Congrats on the EB. Unlike the 5.0's, Ford has offered a performance tune for that engine that is +35 HP and +50 pound/feet over stock. 350 HP. 400 pound/feet is nothing to sneeze about, it is a real gain over stock, but it comes with a hefty price tag.
