    cutting the trans tunnel for a replaceable panel?

    anyone have experience with cutting a panel out of the trans tunnel in such a way it can be put back/taken out again going forward and look halfway decent? I've got the magnum trans and with my Moroso road race pan and Steeda K you can NOT tilt the trans enough to get to the front shifter...

    decently priced compression tester for 4v 4.6?

    what kit are you guys using? Is the one from HF any good? I'd rather pick up a kit and just have it vs using a beat to shit loaner kit from autozone. Looking for a kit that already has the right adapter to thread into our heads. would like to give the motor a checkup when I do plugs here...

    Someone welded the bumper mount on my Mach, wtf

    Crawled under it to mount a hitch and found this ****ery on the driver side mount Even if I could get this out I have my doubts about being able to get a new bolt in place. If there wasn’t an issue why would this have been to start with? This car was brand new at a dealer in the...

    Which kit to vacuum drain and fill coolant system?

    Would rather not do multiple drain and fills to get the coolant out for an event. What do y’all recommend? Or what’s the easier way to get damned near all of it out, would rather not dick around with freeze plugs or anything Coolant crossover is gone so no worries about that.

    running straight water - best choice?

    the tracks for the drag and drive event here say no coolant - can only run straight water - it'll only be in there for ~2weeks or so. What's going to be the least damaging? Aluminum block 4.6 with the stock radiator if that makes any difference. Is there a sacrificial anode that'll work with...

    any wifi thermostat experts?

    currently our place off in the woods has no internet, about to add starlink and set up a few things to keep an eye on the place while we're away. main features would need to be - monitor humidity (preferably adjust itself to maintain a target number). We've had some mold issues and while we're...

    front suspension parts with a 2" level?

    my 2012 has ~160k miles on it with the mostly stock suspension (super crew, 5.5' bed, fx2 no that I think any of that matters). It's a got a 2" leveling puck in the front on 33s. I've got a pop I can feel in the floorboard with the wheel turned going over bumps (at least that's when it's most...

    OP or thread starter designator?

    not that anyone would need to venture off to other forums but I've heard that some of them have it so when the OP replies in their own thread it puts a tag on/near their avatar or user name that says "OP" or "thread starter". In busy threads it's helpful.

    Source for Gates belts?

    figured I'd throw it out there and see if there was somewhere I wasn't aware of. I usually get my green belts on Amazon but they either don't have the size I need or it's like 2 weeks out. They still seem to be the best price for now. In particular looking for K081099HD (wouldnt mind trying a...

    pad/polish for a scratch?

    going down a trail had a branch scrape down the side of the truck from one end to the other. I used some Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Fine Cut Cleaner #2 by hand and it cleaned it up a bit but not completely (not that I spent a ton of time on it in this heat). I have a Porter Cable but my pads are old...

    insulating garage door?

    Anyone put the foam insulation in their garage door? I've been considering it for a while but hadn't gotten around to it - my door faces south and gets baked in the sun most of the day, which is merciless right now. It's already painted white, I'd like to keep temps down in there since the AC...

    SCT Datalogging layout?

    what in the actual **** determines the order the selected PIDs show up on the handheld (X4 in this case). I like the 8pid display on the device but it's annoying as shit when IAT is the top left corner and IAT2 is 3/4 down the right hand side. I know you can re-assing the pids there on the...

    P2096 - '12 3.5 eco f150

    back story - bank 2 cat took a shit, probably due to getting the good old ecoboost shudder a couple times back in the day. Couldn't find an OE cat or even a date on when I could get one. I put SPD Performance catted downpipes on it. I replaced all 4 sensors while I was in there. Only other...

    repainting plastic grille?

    didnt quite seem right for the detail forum. The plastic grille on my f150 has taken a beating over 10+ years, was going to sand it down and use some plastic adhesion promoter and probably just rattle can a couple coats of dark shadow gray which is close enough to the original trim color. I used...

    stupid Xcal4 lock/unlock question

    X4 bought new, only ever used on my truck. If I use the return to stock option does it use up one of the unlocks or does it have to actually write a tune to a second vehicle before it uses one? Chasing some BS that I think is the tune and with what I've done the stock tune won't hurt anything.

    6.7 diesel injector copper washer got dropped

    2015 f550 everything we could tell #2 injector needed to be replaced, pulled it and the copper washer stayed behind, stuck to the head. They finally got it loose but apparently it got dropped on the way out and is now in the valve cover. Anyone had any luck getting one out? Will it just run...

    09 - 14 Fuse #27 relocation

    When Ford released all this about relocating the #27 fuel system fuse it was for the V8 trucks only - the firewall side of the fuse will slowly melt, including the slot it sits in. It seems most end up with a crank - no start but some have had it fail while driving. I stumbled across a few posts...

    Expected boost drop with compression drop?

    4v mod motor so no variable cam timing etc. Lets say EVERYTHING else in the combo is the same - you went from a 10:1 motor to a 9.5:1 motor. They did whatever a "competition valve job" might be and everything else is exactly the same. The car made 15# before with the procharger, how many psi...

    MAP sensor cleaning

    since this section is dead as shit just gonna keep posting. While doing my transcooler lines I figured at 150k it was time to clean the MAP sensors - not sure on the others but a 12 ecoboost has 3: 1) on the neck of the airbox - I dunno what bit removes that so just popped the lid off and hit...

    replacement cats? '12 3.5 ecoboost f150

    anyone have any experiences good or bad? mine is throwing lights for the driver side cat and going off the log confident it's bad. I dont think I could get an OEM cat if I wanted to (over $600 for driver side and $800 for passenger). With 150k miles seems like I should probably do both sides...

    Help me understand rear O2 sensor voltage (2012 f150)

    Ok so 2012 f150 that likes to throw a P0430 at random (driver side rear O2). It’ll be off forever. Then throw it left and right. Truck runs fine, replaced the sensor, no difference. I was logging some PIDs today and noticed that at a stop the B2S2 sensor voltage drops to below .20 while the...

    Procharger 8 rib spacer size - 4V, single bolt tensioner

    I've seen this come up a lot and just happened to be pulling my blower so figured I'd post incase it helps someone else. Procharger ended up sending the shop a bag of spacers to try so sadly I don't have part numbers. This is based on my 03 Mach - 4valve, single bolt tensioner cover with the...
