What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[StealBlueSHO]

Welp... pulled the pump, 3BAR, and CAI along with reverting back to stock... don't want to give the dealers any excuses. That squeaking at shifts needs to be addressed along with a nice vibration/hum that starts at 67mph to exact..I don't think they are related but who knows.. my guess is I lost a weight on one of the wheels...

Dropping off tonight... hopefully will be resolved tomorrow.

I would try to get every squeak fixed prior to the 3YR-36 MONTH WARRANTY Is Up! After that its like pulling Teeth....Best of luck and keep us updated.  Z

wheel bearing / torque mount will be checked hopefully.

I hope they give it a good shake down. The vibration/hum doesn’t change when I load up on side or the other which is why I suspect one the wheels being unbalanced. I was also driving and heard what sounded like a rock bouncing under the carriage for a minute and then I started noticing the vibration.

Got it off the lift and drove it since the turbo explosion and replacement. Feels good to be back

Yeah, could be the wheels in some shape or form, but that "rock" description is throwing me off lol.

Alot of these rims use stick-on lead weights that do fall off if not cleaned properly while installing. It sounds like thats what happened to me.

I one time dropped a 10mm socket which fell inside the belly pan cover in the cold weather......
The next day while driving heard a loud bang right smack in the middle of the carriage on the highway.
BTW lost my precious socket. Z

These wheels are neat. Center cap is reminiscent of Audi caps.

I hate 10mm sockets... always the bane of my existence! I fairly sure I have purchased a boat load of those over the years. Still bitter about loosing my deep wall craftsman 10mm back when they were still made in the USA...

SHOdded I suspect the weight fell off while driving and got shot up hitting the exhaust or something... that’s my guess... hopefully I will find out today...

The vibration/humming is my lesser concern.. that’s usually an easy fix... lord knows I have dealt with that at some point on all my cars...

The squeaking is more an issue when the drive train moves during sudden acceleration or shifting. That needs to be addressed as it almost sounds like a mount is loose.

Let's see what they find.  Should be easy to localize with some Chassis EARS or similar device.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's always the 8 and 10mm that want to rebel.

Those 8 and 10’s are what keep the companies that make extension magnets in business!

Ford called... they road tested... confirmed the issues... but will need to keep it over night to finish it up tomorrow.... very nice service advisor felt bad about it... but since it’s not my daily I told them to take their time.

Progress!

So, now that I have both arms again.  (Arm is healing great by the way, but getting old sucks!)  So, over the last week or so:

- Fresh oil change, including emptying catch can (not a lot in there btw)
- installed 3 Bar
- Installed thermostat
- installed Gearhead tune
- Installed M Design CAI
- Installed AFE Silver Bullet intake spacer (figured why not give it a shot)
- Did the BOV to atmosphere mod

This weekend will be plugs and MSD coils that have been sitting here.

Plans for the future include:  install the Magnaflow cat-back which is sitting in my office, noise maker removal and do an intercooler cleaning.

Next purchases will be PPE downpipes and hot pipes.

So far very happy with results.  Its just fun to be that comfortable and that quick at the same time.

What does the intake spacer give you? Never mind I looked it up... careful googling silver bullet sho... there are ummm adult toys with that name...

LMAO...yes I know.  I joke about those with my sisters because I tend to drink Coors Light.  When they say "How can you drink that much Coors Light?!"  I reply "Hey, you guys have your "silver bullet" and I have mine!".

BTW, I know EVERYONE says...CAI "doesn't do much" and the throttle body spacer "doesn't add much".  Now that I have both...I feel like I've gone from "damn my car is fast" to "****...I'm a little scared".  Yes, I've done other things listed but, I always drove after each.
That little bit of "****" is why I liked the car when I got it.  Got used to it.  Then I got a tune...got it again.  Got used to it.  Now I've done these changes listed and I'm "SHIIIIIIT".  I actually haven't floored it for any extended run yet.  I'll let you know.
