Finally got tired of the steelies on my A51 Black Diamond… Soooooo. I slapped a set of White Method 17x8.5’s (+35 mm offset) on it, a set of new sneakers and a set of Underground Graphix white retro hockey stripes! i know some don't like the Grabber ATx, but I always have.. so i ordered...

Maybe…. But Ive had bearing go several times before and it made noise wether the brakes were on or not., But it could be the bearing and the rotor is amplifying the noise when the caliper is not hushing it.

The center of the steelies are hot, i can say that! Ill stop and get my laser thermometer on the way home and see what the actual temperature is

my ‘23 B/D with steelies & 30k miles just started making a howling noise when turning right today. started after coming down a long, steep mountain highway. I can also feel a very high pitched vibration in the steering wheel when it happens. Pretty sure its brake related as it goes away...

Mein Gott…… I didn’t know the 2.3’s had a can filter.. but when i saw this…. I thought… i wonder….. yep…. there’s a ready made kit to relocate the filter on the MK 7 fiesta to a place where you can actually get at it… i’ve got 270k miles on the thing… just ordered a new timing belt and...

It’s 100% valve train noise. I got used to the direct injection real quick!! Ill elaborate more later, being henpecked to put phone down

So, I switched to motorcraft full synthetic at the last oil change at 15k miles from the stock synthetic blend…. Long ago i posted that i thought this was a noisy engine, especially under light throttle acceleration. (I describe it as a 1900’s foot pedal driven industrial sewing machine) And...

I asked the same question of Dirty Dog and got “you can modify your headliner any way you want but Dirty Dog will not be modifying the product ourselves.” ummmm. WTF?? Not even close to what i asked…. Lol so… has anyone put the dirty dog headliner over a molle panel like the one pictured...

I cant get it to play smoothly, but I THOUGHT I heard a random buzzy sound happening intermittently. If that’s what you are talking about, mine does it also. I posted about it last fall and Ford actually came back with the answer. It’s plastic check ball vibrating in the idle air control...

I wanted a 6 cyl, that pretty much eliminated the Big Bend.

Soooo… some of us come from a time when it was easier to get a manual than an automatic and the shift lever on the automatic trans actually DID connect to the transmission and DID turn a lever that selected modes in the trans and my monkeying with the valve body, you could actually get a...

I wasn’t expecting much. But…. They aint horrible!! I was looking for ones that mount on the sides rather than the bottom as those seem to be more stable and wont “flop over” if the bolt comes loose. only problem is no covers are offered… and that’s required here in PA…. But.. The Auxbeam...

Wanted some ditch lights.. Saw a decent review for the Mayello 60 watt floodlights on YouTube.. what the heck. I bought the Seven Sparta mounts as well, which were all but what the lights cost!!! (These are nice… solid aluminum…..but there’s a raised area on the bottom under each bolt hole...

Ya know… that thought HAS crossed my mind….

So…. Was out in some muddy roads this weekend, and when the mud dried, i saw a black spot on the grey mud and realized it was a gap in the fender liner of the drivers rear that goes DIRECTLY into the body rocker!!!! checked the other side… the liner fits better over there.. but water is still...

OH MY GOD… THIS is INFURIATING. I have two children who INSIST on opening the doors like absolute animals and they wobble like those inflatable stick men at the car dealerships. Ihave become Johnny Lightning on the unlock button to keep the windows from flopping around and suddenly, today...

Sounds like a solenoid fluttering to me ;) but, if its there at cold start, you can’t hear it over all the other cacophony until it warms fully up and goes into “quiet” mode… i think thats why i’ve never noticed it before… it was sitting at a gas station after driving it and i was putting...

Here’s mine doing the same red thing.. the ford media person who monitors the forum just messaged me about it

Did you ever figure this out??? Mines doing the same thing!!!!!

I’m not counting that out.. but this really seems like an electronic buzz rather than a loose rattle… NOW…. if the waste gate is s stepper motor and the loose linkage is causing the motor to buzz cause it can’t find its location point…. That… i can see
