Knocked out my AWS Certified Solution Architect Associates exam out today....

Wanted to celebrate by doing donuts... unfortunately I had to settle with conservative spirited driving... sometime AWD sucks...

I reverted back to stock Tune today and made sure the radio - A/C - etc was set to OFF!
I also made certain that the (rain sensor) & (courtesy wipe) feature was set to OFF prior to reflash.. ..
FWIW the wipers did NOT Flinch during the procces and quess you learn something new everyday . Z  :)

cant wait till emissions are done & over with!
Thanks Manu!  :)  It sometimes takes a few driving cycles to complete the I/M Readiness state!  I guess all in due time.  Z 
 
I wanted to change my PTU Fluid/Flush since having 61K for a peace of mind.
The last time it was changed @ roughly 30K!
I spoke with the Service manager @ ford and said it was a big job on your SHO!  I was quoted 4.5 hr labor which included the PTU Flush & seal plus using my own fluids for a grand total of $661.00 !!! :o
I told him kindly its NO more than a 2 hr job and No thank you...
I guess I will have to tackle this myself!  Z

It's MUCH easier on a lift, honestly in my case with no cats, hardest part was working around hot parts and trying to get enough fluid out. I'm very seriously considering the tap/plug on the bottom. Risky, but will make the process cake.

Another instance of a dealership not wanting to do a job and quoting a price sure to accomplish exactly that.

Happens ALL the time... in every industry.

I am Stoked to finally get some good news on my annual emissions testing here in N.Y.....
@ roughly 38 miles had all the monitors ready & complete with the exception of the EVAP which took a little longer as expected with a Total of 60 miles to fully complete the driving cycles and couldn't wait to load the LMS METH TUNE!  :drive:
I used Torque-pro and worked as designed.  Z
