    Sho turbo oil feed replacement

    i have a 10' sho leaking oil from the turbo oil feed line on the firewall side. It's the line leaking, not the seals, I can get to the engine side, but the turbo side I can barely get one finger on the head of the banjo bolt. There is also a heat shield on the exhaust manifold directly above...

    S10 corvette swap

    I can't answer that, I don't understand it my self. Getting a regular t56 and bolting it to the back of the motor would make this significantly easier.

    Hybrid tahoe

    From what I've read they should get better mileage than the sho Taurus I currently have and I could definitely use the space, there's not a lot of them out there, some have 150k - 200k miles on them and they're still going. I agree hybrids will be expensive to fix but some of the stuff on my sho...

    Extra charge to clean up after tech?

    I spoke to a manager, he apologized and said I could bring it back and they would clean it. I told him I already spent 2 hrs cleaning it. He told me if I wanted to bring it back in a month or two they would detail it no charge. So I guess they're making some effort to make up for it. Still a...

    Extra charge to clean up after tech?

    A few weeks ago a tree fell on my wife's sho Taurus while she was driving. It got the hood, windshield, both front fenders, passenger rear door and fender. Took it to the local ford dealer for repair. Insurance covered the $7000 bill, repair turned out nice but the inside was filthy. I know it...

    How much would milage suffer with tune

    Hey, I'll be picking up a 2010 sho in 2 weeks. I'm very tempted to get a Cai and tune for it, I'm wondering how much it would effect fuel economy, I realize economy isn't usually the goal, but if it's going to be significant I might just spend the money on my 02 HD f150
