Ford TPMS procedure

As I am sitting here typing this I am considering selling one of my Harleys and picking up a ZX-14R ABS to use in NH That bike STOCK pulls sub 10 second 1/4 mile times and is speed limited out of the box to 186 Normally I give EV's their due because of the instantaneous max torque they produce...

My car only sees water when it is being washed, which is not that often so I have not done the BCM recall And if it gets to 32 where I keep the car you can be damned sure it is not going to be out in the rain/snow/ice or sleet either. But the good news is I will be visiting and driving the car...

Isn't the antenna plugged into a module in the trunk that feeds the radio? Seems to me that when they put the dash back together they forgot a plug

My 07 GT 401A came with an "upgraded" wheel and I thought it looked like crap, so I got the standard wheels from Ford for $94 a piece and swapped them out, I understand there was a chromed 18: version of the 5 spokes but I didn't want to buy new tires. The OEM wheels with 8400 miles on them...

Once the wheels get above 17 inches, the design does not quite work aesthetically especially with low profile tires. You can get a lot of "mags" in 17" but not much more. You could run a 255 55 17 and get the tire almost the same size as the stock tire. Nothing I see in 17" has the correct...

Everything in that video goes against Fords repair procedures and position statements. Wrong rear bumper too

Belt slipping, causing voltage drop, freaking the computer out?

Don't be pissed off My friend, who is 78, and I who is 67, spend a good deal of time bouncing things off each other at work, even though we both are very capable mechanics, sometimes stating the obvious puts the other guy back on an easier path than the one he was starting to wander down, or it...

Nothing in the filter is a good sign Any chance your drain pans were contaminated, either by something in them before you started or the oil washed dirt from the underside of the car into the pans? I noticed the tech who did my last oil change covered a bunch of the underside with aluminum...

Read the first post He got the car with 40K on it and has put 3 more on it. But I agree that Ford would do nothing for him if the engine was having issues. Break in for engines in years gone by was more to get the rings to seat, but that has not been a concern in many many years as they use...

Send a sample to Blackstone for analysis

look at the RPM's when it makes the noise. Then drive the car in a lower gear at that RPM and see if you hear it again Then you can tell if it is RPM or speed dependent Is it a resonant frequency drone? X or H piped? Ford's stupid use of the speakers to add noise to the car feature screwing up?

If you want to give it a trial run to test your skills, you can use plasti-dip and spray it on if you don't want to do it by hand Plast-Dip is removable. It is about $9.00 US for a can

When I started, everything was fractional, then GM made cars with both fractional and metric, then there was the foreign invasion, now it is mostly metric except for Harley Davidson motorcycles and old cars, and we do a lot of old cars

Paint them That is what we did with the Fox bodied cars way back when. Mask it off, cut the letters, get some single stage paint or even a touch up paint marker and have at it Not my pic but you get the idea

Steelman makes them , among others. the sockets were dirt cheap. I needed them for a car in FL that came out of NH, so I bought the most common sizes and had a second set shipped to the shop in NH They have saved me so much time and trouble they are on the "best bang for the buck tool" list...

That 3.55 with the low first gear of the 10r80 with that much HP/Torque must be a real neck snapper Are you running catch cans on both sides or just the "dirty" side?

I have a whole set of + .5mm sockets for tire work Fords, and others in the Northeast or where there is salt tend to have the lug nuts swell due to corrosion between the chrome cap and the actual lug nut.

The Mach 1 came back because the Bullitt name license was up in 2020, so they called them the Mach 1, and for some reason Ford's marketing people could not sell that iconic name to the public so they created a new set of badges and limited the use of the DH name to a couple of option packages
