On any auto forum, you have people who only show up for a single reason. They are either looking for a solution, looking to sell something, or looking to bitch. They post a couple times and you never see them again.

I certainly miss the old days. At one time on one of my V8 cars, I could change the plugs, install new points, condensor and distributor cap in under 20 minutes. Another 5 to do the dwell meter to adjust the points and set the timing with a light. Of course, one needed to do that every 5k...

Theoretically if the load is spread across the horizontal axis of the differential proportionately, the stress on each mounting point is cut in half, so you're right. However, the differential under acceleration is attempting to rotate in the opposite direction of the wheels, so both bushings...

First would be not launch as violently (yeah, nobody wants to hear that). Put on less sticky, or way more sticky tires (you probably don't want to hear that either!) Barring that, you'd have to find some way to lower the amount of deflection in all the suspension pieces related to rotational...

As far as the "fix it with a better bolt" idea- that's a band-aid. I think you're addressing the wrong problem from an engineering perspective. I have seen pics of bolts snapped- meaning they were subjected to enough force to actually break them. I've also seen pics of bolts that seem to be...

I park on an incline in my driveway. As such, I always set the e-brake. To start the car, I have to push on the brake and press a button which takes about a two seconds. After starting the car I push the e-brake button to release and then push the Auto Start/Stop. Takes me about a second. I...

Y'all need to reread the posts! #472 shows a custom ARP stud setup. #473 was posted right after showing a 4 bolt diff with bolts. Then people started getting confused between comments on the two pics.

I don't think it works that way...lol

Unless the packing is slowly but progressively blowing out, it just doesn't seem feasible that "it is progressively getting worst." Once you start to notice something like a drone, you can't unhear it- and it might seem that it's getting worse. I'd see f you have some internal break. Get...

Well, I can pick up the ST tomorrow. After 10 days, they say there isn't a current draw after all, it was a bad battery. Of course they supposedly replaced the battery under warranty the first time. Why do I get the feeling they simply charged my old battery up, to get me out of the shop the...

Some I think are worthy: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/for-those-thinking-about-a-performance-exhaust-system.2775/post-33847 https://www.explorerst.org/threads/throttle-bodies-cfm-and-mass-airflow.3163/post-39192...

I do not have an extended warranty. I'm still within the bumper-to-bumper timeframe. Service rep says they don't have to supply a loaner until "two days after the problem is diagnosed". I mean, if it takes two months to diagnose the problem, I suppose you're on your own 'til then? He did...

Here's my sad update. The new battery they put in worked for 10 days. I went out to it Wednesday the 21st, and it was dead as a door nail again. Called service department to see if they would give me a jump, since if you read the original post, I was more than a bit leery to have another...

This is only MY experience with the wireless charging...it is not workable. Just driving, the phone slips around just enough that I constantly get error messages from the charging station. I would have to drive with my hand on the damn thing to steady it. Part of it is my iPhone which seems...

It looks pretty comprehensive. Remember that according to what you presented that replacement items are covered under the Owner's Scheduled Maintenance Schedule. So some things e.g. spark plugs wouldn't actually be included unless you traveled the amount of miles until the Schedule suggested...

There isn't enough information to give advice. Does this include all service consumables? Wiper blades, filters, oil, oil filters, tires, batteries..? How many miles per year do you anticipate driving? Does it include synthetic oil, how about differential fluid changes, washer fluid...

I hate to seem to pick on a vendor but....the Diffy Stiffy is not a viable alternative. Buy the AWR or the ID Speed depending on your budget.

I'm betting you're right on the MAC address, good catch. As I posted, these "might" be checksums based on the 6 updates. But they are hexadecimal digits, so everything else I posted is valid.

Yes.
