Random thoughts for the day

Sorry about that happened to you.  This is why I hate people and park literally as far away from the doors of where ever I am, preferably with a curb/island on one side.

On a few occasions some idiot still has parked next to me, literally 50+ empty spots closer but they park next to me!

Like I said, I hate people!

I think you will like them a LOT.  That and the Philips eXtremeVision are tops in my book for plugnplay halogens.  LEDs are getting better too.  Look into JDM ASTAR's offerings.  Work much better with projectors than reflectors, of course.

 

[ajpturbo]

JDM really?? Putco LED is what you want for top quality

 

[SHOdded]

Well, if we are going to get into this, I will up you one and call.  Diode Dynamics.

I appreciate the kind replies from ^^^. I tried the Sylvania zxe and the over rated Piaa in my other vehicles without success but just couldn't pass up the Osrams especially @ that price-point! 

 

[SHOdded]

Much cheaper than what I pd lol.

I was curious if anyone has seen this intercooler?  thoughts! TIA!  Z
It seems the seller just launched! Dunno! 
There are two versions!
I wonder if any gains can be had! Probably only good for aesthetics!

Good Article on the PTU!  Z

Power Takeoff Units -new bearing design

The power takeoff unit (PTU) has been a service concern on some PI Utilities. There may be an excessive oil smell when driving, the AWD may not work properly, or the PTU housing may be cracked, leaking or noisy. The cause of the PTU damage is the excessive torque loading of the idler gear, which causes the bearing to walk (move) into the housing.
In January 2014, a Full Face Thrust Washer, FFTW, was introduced. This new washer was designed to prevent the idler bearing from walking into the aluminum case. In October 2015, a second change was made, in this case a loose-fit idler bearing. In dynamometer tests, this bearing design change showed a twice life improvement over the FFTW design.
In June 2016, a third change was made. In this case, a new bearing design, one without drawn cups, was installed. This eliminated the walk mode of damage. Dyno testing shows a three to four times improvement over the FFTW design. For both the PI Utility and PI Sedan, the PTU is covered under the limited powertrain warranty. All Ford Police Interceptors come standard with a five-year/100,000-mile Extended Service Plan for the powertrain.

A very important note indeed!  Perhaps a mention in a drivetrain topic would give it the visibility it needs.

Sometimes I forget how BIG these cars are... between the tune and the Megan’s it’s pretty easy....

Walking out of the store today my car (which I managed to get a parking spot up front) I noticed dwarfed everything but the trucks in the parking lot...

She is one big ol’ B!tch...
