I love that the push for electrification is seen as the reason quality is bad on vehicles - leave the political bias at home. It has everything to do with companies sacrificing quality in the name of profits. No one said "Build electric cars, and also build the rest like sh**"...

This is a write-to-tmp-folder-without-cleanup issue? UGH. Bad engineering bugs me. Why are you releasing images with debug messaging, lack of a cleanup process, etc? Honestly, /tmp is temporary. You should write nothing there that is not going to be deleted after the car turns off, and it should...

Look at Unbroken, helping people 12 ounces at a time. :cool:

They probably dont want thermal expansion, moisture buildup, or the cabin to be so airtight that slamming a door breaks a window. (Although there are better vent techniques to avoid this)

As a note about the sales pitch on the exhaust tip - so what? You act like the whole time they did nothing but sling it. Did I say we should get them for the ST? ;) I would however note that if I spent all night digging through that thread to hear how ambient temps and other factors cause...

I think some points are missed here. 1. Pressure differential is key to turbo operation - this is a fact, not a question 2. Although you can absolutely, incorrectly setup a larger exhaust, the statement I made is based on the assumption that a system is properly engineered 3. I have heard all...

Yea? they said what they actually *did*?

You bet your a** it is. Laugh at the imports with 3" exhausts all you want, but if they're straight, made with good material, have good welds, and proper merges, the bigger the better. (Especially with turbos) Just in case you need educated:

I imagine Ford is bound by some deal Google has... I'm more than a little concerned if this is the case.

They would only press in from the back because you want the bushing to be locked into place when it is tightened down, otherwise, it could just slide out the other side over time. I dont know if it is somehow a hydraulic bushing (maybe earlier parts were and they moved away from it?), but if...

Sorry, I missed that it was 64, not 54. Busy day at work. Yea, it's true that something so costly getting a discount is a solid if youre out of warranty. Personally I get the extended warranty just for B.S. like this.

That's what I was thinking, which is maybe why they want to charge so much - they might be trying to replace the entire subframe instead of pressing the bushing out, if it is indeed a fluid-filled bushing.

This isn't covered under drivetrain warranty? That is insane - this is not a perishable part, and you're at 54K miles...

You guys are making my car look GREAT :cool:

^ Oh, I understand, it just seemed like the idea that this motor can go almost instantly because of its setup, was being shot down. It' not one or the other, both are true. Giving people info on some of the symptoms they may experience is still important.

If a vehicle burns 1qt/1k miles, sell it, or enjoy your Model T. This engine is high pressure and is known to be able to explosively evacuate. (I would not say it is common, but it has happened.) Although many here are very experienced with engines, many have never been in a vehicle as it...

Tune Tune and IC are minimum. No reason to heat soak the small factory I.C.

Nice! Do you have the armor plating for the doors? :cool:

It might be the seat wrap options. A type of leather/inserts/etc that won't be offered in the bench seat, only in captain's chairs.

Too bad ABS can't be disabled - that's the real way to drive in the snow. Saved my a** several times in - Da 'Burgh!
