    Help me figure out what this Ford part is from? (I have a part number)

    I'm helping someone elderly get the loose ends tied up in their 39 Ford street rod. Inside they have this pull mechanism for the hood and trunk made from I'm guessing a 90's ford assembly. I asked just about everyone I know. looking the number up online is a dead end. I've had no luck...

    Getting ads/video ads between posts

    If I'm viewing the forum on my phone, through the android browser, I'm getting ads between some posts. They take up the whole screen as you scroll by. And they push, if they have audio it will cut off my Amazon Music. Noticed this starting about 2 weeks ago, ish.

    SVTP have a go-to guy at Ford Racing Performance Parts?

    Wondering if we have a guy who caters to our forum? I ordered a new FRPP intake manifold through a dealership and it was defective. Mating surface deviance to the heads is well out of spec, the intake manifold will not seal properly. Dealership pointed me to FRPP and initially, they were "on...

    Anyone ever file a complaint after being pulled over without suspected Probable Cause?

    This has been on my mind lately after two recent stops that seemed to have no merit, anyone who wants to hear them, read on. No embellishment or details ignored. Maybe one of my cars fit a description for one they were looking for by chance, but each incident was a different car. As far as...

    Found out the hard way that Livernois tune will not pass emissions

    Just an FYI to anyone buying a tune from Livernois and running cat-less. Just because you have no CEL doesn't mean you're going to pass the OBDII emissions test, you will not. Livernois shuts those monitors off. The same luxuries offered through tunes via SCT software and HPTuners do not...

    SVTP collective brain power required. Vibration issue after CV change on 11 EcoBoost F150

    I'm helping my brother fix his truck ASAP. I've already searched around. 2011 F150 Platinum, 3.5, 82k. Full Livernois kit on it, truck is a beast. Stock wheels/tires/suspension. His driver side axle was starting to click and bind up so he bought a new half shaft from NAPA. He installed it...

    How many PMs am I allowed to store?

    I don't see anything that says I'm % full like on other forums. I'm at 499 and was conversing with someone and stopped getting a reply. Maybe they're a flake, but I want to see I'm maxed out and don't know it.

    Hans Racecraft Full Length Subframe connectors for Coupe/Convertible New In Box!

    My last thread for these got removed I guess because I didn't write my name on a piece of paper. Been a long time since I sold or bought anything on here so if I missed something else let me know. I have written my name on paper and you can now be assured that I own these Subframe connectors...

    Accident fault from brake checking someone?

    Here is my situation. I am in the left lane of the 3 lane road/highway, approaching a light. I have no cars ahead of me in the left lane. The light has just changed to green, I maintain my full speed. The middle lane has cars at the light sitting, beginning to move, so does the 3rd lane. A...

    Crazy Chase/Shootout in Atlantic City

    Skip to 11:00 if you just want the action, but the cop is a good driver, worth watching.

    Anyone ever install a midpipe on Ecoboost F150?

    My brother drives a 12 Platinum and bought the CAI assembly, Catless Midpipe, T-Stat, Plugs, and tuner from Livernois. We figured 1 day would get it all done, we've got almost every tool known to man here, plenty of wrenching experience, but no lift. Way wrong. Everything else is easy, but...

    Anyone on here live near Creve Coeur, MO?

    There is a used CTS-V at the Weber Chevy dealer that I've been working with a salesman about. They've sent me extra photos but it would be such a relief if someone local is on here and could give it a once over in their parking lot. 900 miles is a long way to go to have to turn back over...

    PVC Gatling Gun or Rocket launcher on Roof of vehicle, legal?

    Obviously this would ruffle some feathers, but I'm curious if you could be fined or arrested for riding around with something like that. I can make something pretty interesting with PVC and paint.

    My Threads not working

    I click it and it takes me to What's New instead. In What's New it shows me a mix of new and older threads. Mostly older. Infact on first page of What's New I have a majority of threads having their last post in 2010. I'm using Chrome on Windows 10.

    Looking to contact someone in Research & Development at Ford or Lincoln.

    Ok, I will trim this down. I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to contact someone in R&D for Ford or Lincoln. Or maybe a reachout, I know some on the forum may be connected in one way or another. I was hired to do something unrelated for a company that has developed some components...

    FYI Mobil 1 Synthetic 0w30 5 quart for $10

    Auto Zone put it on clearance in the computer as of 12/1. The stores themselves don't know. I cleared my local one out this morning. It's a great oil. Can't beat $2 a quart. The person at the checkout thought I had some kind of in with the company LOL.

    2015 F-150 Super Crew vs Super Cab Crash Tests

    Yikes. Ford left structural deflection bars out of the extended cab trucks that they included in the crew cabs. Only the highest volume style gets crash tested, this being the crew cab. When the IIHS was tipped off about this they called for two trucks to make a direct comparison. The side...

    Excellent M1 rebate

    Great rebate for M1 Products, pretty much $12 back for any jug of good M1 product. I am lucky enough to take advantage on 4 jugs. Maybe 6 or 8 if I make some calls. https://mobiloil.com/en/promotion/mobil-promotions/up-to-15-dollars-off-with-mobil-1-and-mobil-super

    Predator handheld tuner w/ tunes. Good to have, keep your SCT when selling your car.

    This hand held has the built in 91/93 tunes and 91/93 pulley tunes. I ran it on my 2.8/ORX+Catback/JLT 03 Cobra and WOT AFR was between 11.1-11.5, car also trapped 120mph in great air. Eventually I went to SCT and sold the car with that equipment but I kick myself for not switching back and...

    Anyone deal with this car insurance company before?

    A guy with California Casualty insurance backed into the side of a car I own. I've never heard of this company, has anyone dealt with them? I'd like to know if I should be prepared to get screwed over or if they have a good reputation. Good or bad, what a terrible name for a business. I...

    Interesting Read about 3.5 Ecoboost timing chain issues taking out engines.

    A long read, the collective knowledge on BITOG is fairly high, this will matter to people on here. Weak timing chains are stretching and taking out the water pump bearing. Since the water pump is so stupidly placed within the oiling system on certain engines (not trucks fortunately) antifreeze...

    Does anyone here know anything about remote start systems?

    I would like to put a remote start in my mom's 2007 Honda CR-V EX. Unfortunately there is not much information on the honda forums. Most people seem to be paying the dealer $700 to put one in, and the dealers use aftermarket systems because Honda does not make one. Seems to be something about...
