    Opening /removing Radiator Grill

    Some dirtbag in Flint, Michigan stole my lower radiator grill around 2014. It actually looked pretty cool, but I had it fixed. I think the grille is useful for mileage and efficiency.

    Pypes XFM26E catted X-pipe

    I installed Pypes XFM26E catted X-pipe about 10 days ago, and I'm quite happy with them. One of my cats was leaking at the weld after 143k miles. The Pypes from Steeda was an easy choice. I had installed JBA ceramic coated shorties a few years ago, and the Pypes bolt right up. Remember, you...

    when did Ford stop using front isolators?

    I installed Pypes catted X-pipe SFM26E on Sunday. I noticed that I didn't have any front isolators for the prongs on the X-pipe. I don't think I've ever had them. I have isolators at the rear that hold up the back exhaust pipe. From...

    Double Gasketed Oil Filter, Now Getting P0345/P0349 Codes

    I usually put a large trash bag over the intake area and wash the motor with Simple Green and a couple brushes. Hose it off. You can wash off the intake area, but you need compressed air to dry it fast before the water messes with your electrical circuits.

    soft brake pedal

    I installed braided stainless steel lines a couple years ago. Love 'em. Be careful about the banjo bolt torque in the rear.

    Clean your filthy stereo!

    My Shaker 500 had been acting up on me - not reading discs, ejecting discs, etc. I tried a Memorex cleaning CD, and the problem is fixed. Only took a couple minutes.

    Engine Whine

    Nice. The smooth idler went bad on mine in 2013 or so and I had to replace it. Same as you it sounded as if I had a blower or gear drive cams.

    one heck of a battery

    On Tues I thought my car turned over maybe a little slower than usual. On Wed, it was slow enough and I heard a clicking noise that I thought I needed a fix. I called AutoZone to see if there battery/alternator tester was working, and they said it was, so I drove there. I checked my logbook...

    What a PITA!

    Mine are about an inch or two upstream of the flange. I have BBK ceramic shorties. I had thought that the sensor would be easier to removed due to the ceramic, but that took some serious torque to loosen.
