Random thoughts for the day

I know there is always mention of checking the rear turbo hose/pipe becoming loose highlighted in red but sometime's we neglect to check the hose/pipe clamp highlighted in blue to make sure its nice and tight. Z

Do you have more pictures of the motor ?

I've had an intermittently squeaky belt for the last ~10k miles that I believe to be from some oil reside contamination following an engine cleaning after I found oil leaking out of my throttle body connection (I also cleaned my CAC, intake and installed an OCC at the time).

I purchased a replacement belt, but decided to try some SilGlyde as a quick fix for poops and giggles. A dime size dab on each side of the belt, and it was dead silent... for 3 days.

After a week, the squeak/squeal is substantially worse now, and it never really goes away (as it did before after warming up).

New belt goes on this weekend sans SilGlyde.

Yea... he opened his controller though and broke the warranty void sticker. Apparently they are sticklers for that....

Not interested in alky kits...

AEM is interesting though...

Snow has a pretty good reputation though...

I was curious if anyone attempted or thought of installing a light inside the glove compartment and kinda feel left in the dark without it. Z

A couple people are going to try it in their Edge, kind of copying MKX design.

I have read that too, pumps failing and not wanting to cover under warranty.

If you pay less than MSRP for the kits then they don't warranty it... crappy business model but it is what it is... all kits have pumps that fail...

Test drove a srt8 charger and a fusion sport today......

Fusion sport was way too tame.... and road noise was pretty significant..

Charger was fun to drive... but felt really cheap inside....
