Fumoto does make a nice piece of kit. I'm using one on another vehicle.
If you have not already purchased, you might look at UPR's offerings. Theirs is the same concept of controlling the flow, but UPR's are magnetic.
Can't go wrong with either choice.
I've been using the Uniden R4 for two seasons now. It's a nice piece of kit. Works well. Reliable. Uniden updates their threat database and OS every few months. The PC software interface used for updates and feature changes is great. The software not only calls out threats, but alerts to objects...
Ford does not break in the engines at the factory. They do perform a spin test on all engines. After the engine has been assembled, a machine spins the engine for a period. From this, they can measure resistance, noise, etc. It's a check to confirm the engine is not going to grenade itself on...
You're right. It won't.
But having such things (posted signs, cameras, lighting, corrals, etc.) in-place would contribute to absolving the property owner or business of any claims of negligence. Otherwise, every slob cart becomes a liability to be defended against and possibly paid. It's...
Disclosure: I am not a lawyer and have zero legal experience.
Thinking of the liability issue...
Was that a loose cart a customer left out in the open? The store needs to make a holding area available for customers and maintain that. But chasing after every loose cart a customer leaves behind...
I'd get it fixed.
If you don't fix it, you'll take the loss when the car is sold.
If you do fix it, you can appreciate it while you still own the car.
I could not give you an estimate. Getting one from a body shop will help bring things into focus.
Shop around. Get two or three estimates...
Previously, I posted one recall/stop sale notice on Ford's EcoBoost. This recall involved a ball plug in the cylinder head. Ford recall 25SD3.
I've identified another recall/stop sale issue, also with the EcoBoost, also with 2026 models. NHTSA campaign 26V205, Ford recall 26S23...
I actually just completed a sample this month. Give it one week for the sample to reach Blackstone. Give them one week to run the sample and e-mail you the results.
Once you have the kit and take a sample, you can go to their site and pre-pay for an analysis, then list the receipt # on your...
Attached is a delivery hold notice involving EcoBoosts, from December of 2025. So this has been out for a while. IDK. Honestly, I don't remember reading about this hold in a thread.
If Ford is expanding the customer satisfaction campaign involving wiper systems into a delivery hold situation...
For both the campaign and the recall I'm referencing, please, check with a dealer to confirm what I'm posting.
To clarify my posts, I found...
- One customer service campaign affecting all 2026 Mustangs and the wiper system
- One recall affecting 2026 EcoBoost Mustangs, oil leaks and a risk...
🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️
I searched using different combinations of key words. The only details I could find were what I posted.
We've had the Holiday weekend. Maybe Ford and NHTSA will publish some details this coming week.
Ford has recalls, manufacturer communications (Special Service Bulletin, Technical Service Bulletin) and customer satisfaction campaigns.
From the information I've been able to find, the issue with the wipers on Mustangs falls into the Customer Satisfaction Campaign category. It's not a recall...
I welcome increased sales.
But the Spring/Summer months and pricing incentives will have an positive impact, how much I cannot say.
I feel a better long-term gauge is year-to-year totals. 2025 was close to 2024, but down a tick. If 2026 holds steady in relation to 2025, I think that'd be...

"Dealer called and said my car is all fixed up. He said it was definitely an assembly issue and the seal was not correctly positioned. I guess the mechanics were surprised it made it 1400...
@LevittownFordParts is a sponsor who provides great support. They will read this post and respond. It can take a day or two for them to answer.
You're also welcome to message them directly. Provide them all the detail you can, including the VIN. They can offer availability and pricing...
Sounds like a normal engine? Nothing stands out to me. It does sound like the car is in an enclosed area; this can affect the direction and intensity of what's being heard. Changing locations might clarify the noise of interest.
You may notice the following, now or over time:
- Fuel pump. When...
I'm refreshing myself on the following threads.
There's an absolute hard limit that all engines have. This limit cuts fuel to the engine.
Several mention in these threads the Manual Transmission cars have a hard limit 2-300 RPM lower than the Automatics. I suspect this is because of shifting...
