You’ve got to drop the plastic pan on these things, and the transmission housing is aluminum, meaning very easy to strip the mounting threads if not done correctly. Because of that, I would only trust the Ford dealer to do it as insurance in case anything goes wrong. Someone not paying attention...

I don’t think so, I think I read somewhere on here of some type of super secret Ford blue lubricant sleeve or something like that on it instead.

Anyone who has ever owned a 4Runner will know when the driveshaft is in need of a little "zerk" action. Our 2005 (V8, what a sweet car that was) would absolutely thump when coming to a stop. Sometimes it would feel like someone tapped the bumper behind you. A few squeezes of the grease gun into...

That is a great picture!

I never understood that car. Did they buy the plans/specs for a Mitsubishi Diamanté?

Other than the top and that stupid gear knob thingy, it's nothing that any of us couldn't already do (mostly) via the aftermarket. Is there some sort of communist overlord contract agreement between Ford and Goodyear for those tires and rims? I mean, why put on the Sas rims for the Lincoln...

Give the paint guys their Zoloff so we can have some COLORS!! Is there some sort of problem with getting paint colors these days now? I don’t care what fancy phrase they use, it looks like primer grey to me, and not going to be in my garage. Dark blue, forest green metallic, cardinal red...

Came to a rolling stop this afternoon, engine/transmission all warmed up, heard a loud clunk as it went into 1st (10-speed) and what sounded like gear slap. I've heard this before, but usually when it's cold. Growing a little tired of it. May take it in to the dealership, although I'm sure my...

Do tell where you got those sweet lights for $100!!!! I like them and have the same bumper set up as you!

Pontiac Aztec met a crystal meth dealer... Heck of a grocery store though! Been there several times (folks live in Naples).

I'm really curious about it myself too. More research needed though before pulling the trigger and essentially killing off the Ford warranty for it. But I put little faith in warranties in general anymore. I've seen the comments on the Ford Procal upgrade for more HP and noted the comments on...

Curious if anyone has any experience with one of these kits? Saw on a mechanic's feed I follow and he raved about them for the 10 speeds between Ford and GM. project-carbon®-ford-10-speed-diy-valve-body-upgrade-kit

I might get flamed for this one, but it worked for me on a now 12-year old VW that had a horrible creaking / crunching noise in the front suspension. Learned about it from the Scotty Kilmar Youtube videos. This stuff, in a spray bottle and spray down all the bushings and mounts once a year. I...

I'm sorry, but you have to love a car whereby the recommendation from the dealership is to "MacGyver" an old pill bottle. I'm not trying to be sarcastic either. I love that answer (regardless if it's correct or not). In Mercedes land, it would be "need a new engine", after it sat at the...

If the tires are causing your back pain, then I agree with some others that perhaps this isn't the right car for you, as there are numerous other factors involved between the tires and your back (suspension, suspension geometry, Body on Frame design, etc). That said however, I used to run...

I’ve not read all of this, but the 2025 is absolutely a no-brainer. Well worth the forfeit on the deposit.

That’s not called Orange Fury. It’s called Tangerine Grey. Perhaps they’ll bring back Forest Greey too.

Ah come on brother, just some harmless Internet forum chatter. Sorry if I hijacked it a bit (100% guilty as charged), but don’t bail out because of one post from an over caffeinated member who’s had little sleep this week! It’s all good amigo!

I'll do one better. This is 100% true. Amazon HQ2 - remember that feeding frenzy for trying to win it by several states? I knew exactly where it was going to go from the very start. I've financed several properties in that area, including some currently. Its location here in DC is known as a...
