Good job. Very clean removal. Since Ford used a consumable hose (orange connector style), I very carefully and slowly broke the orange connectors with a pick tool. It is meant to be broken however you choose to do it. After installing the AOS system, then what I did was buy a new OEM replacement...
Don't need one as it is reusable. Having said that, I did booger up one of the hoses snap-on connectors. Individual parts not available. Had to buy the complete setup again.
Yeah, I already bent the passenger side shock mount ear. Not seriously, I was able to use an oversize crescent wrench (24" long) to bend it back. Just don't want to take those kinds of hits again.
Noticed these on the Ford Performance website. What is the purpose of the smaller nuts and bolts? And can this be done by an old wrencher in a driveway?

It was time for the next 5k oil change. Opening up the FP air/oil separator is like opening up a Christmas present. What did I get? A mixture of different colored sludges. Some runny some more like gelatin. Wiped it out. I had used some Permatex Form-a-Gasket to seal up part of the mating...
Mine built in 2nd qtr of 2022. So far, no problems. Did a VIN lookup last night and no recalls came up. Maybe I'm in the clear? Or maybe they haven't posted entire 129,000 qty list? Wait and see since parts not available anyhow. At any rate, I'll do it the old way and put my right hand on the...
Don't know if you are still following your thread, but this screen shot has the part number I got back from my buddy at the dealership. Does this look right to you? Thanks
Another great reason to spend money on my '22. Yes, much better display. Just emailed my buddy at the local dealership parts dept. Hope it also works for manual trans.
Update. No out of position or timed out codes recorded. The service tech using his laptop, cycled the shutters from full stop open to full stop closed several times and that seemed to reset them.
Hey everybody,
My 22 BD 2.3 has started doing something new. Previous to 3 weeks ago, the shutters would close fully at startup and open completely at shutdown. Now the shutters, both upper and lower, remain at about one quarter open all the time. Has anyone encountered this issue? Will a code...
Got 24 mpg on a 5-state road trip late September. Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Colorado. 7 MT, 2.3. Stayed in 5th gear and around 68-69 mph which is about 2500 rpm. Very little turbo engagement. And every fill up was 91 octane.
I've gotten parts from Sunrise Ford Parts in Fontana, CA. Always a good price. CJ Pony parts is a good place to buy too. They sell Ford Performance parts also.
