What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Almost done with this one.

Broke the interior door latch on drivers side door:( casually opening door and fingers slip off end of door latch letting it snap back to place, didn't notice until next time it was used. Still works but very sloppy and loose with the spring just floating around in there.
 
I replaced the rear pads on my MKS after about 5 years and 50,000 of service.  They were BAD.  Not only were the pads nearly worn to the metal, but the caliper pins were dry so it would not have been long until they wouldn't move.  One of the inner pads was frozen to the caliper bracket.  It had the most lining left on it since it really hadn't been touching the rotor for some time!

I had the Brake TSB done (front rotors, pads & caliper brackets) about 25,000 miles ago so the front brakes still have some service left in them.  Granted, the original equipment brakes are not great but I really don't care to do a major upgrade at this point.  I replaced the rear pads with Duralast Gold ceramic pads from Autozone.  I put the same type of pad on my wife's Taurus last year and they are quiet, low dust and reasonably priced.  Besides, Autozone loans the caliper piston tool that is a requirement for rear brakes.

If you have over 50,000 on your MKS or SHO and live in a climate where salt is used on the roads, you might want to check the rear brakes. 
 
Is Seafoam/Chevron Techron OK to put in our gas tank?  I usually do a bottle every oil change.  Just making sure it won't hurt anything...

I don't haul as often or as much as I used to. Plus doing some go fast mods. So I think it's appropriate lol

I installed the 800 a few weeks ago and they rock.

Comes with license plate LEDs which also rock.

Was just reading they "throw" in the licence plate ones too. Sometimes something as simple as a light out can be a great excuse to upgrade...lol...hmmmm, what mod for fixing door handle, think SHOboat mentioned 10 k volts somewhere::)
