Did the Typhoon and got her washed.
What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

I got to drive the Flex for about 5hrs and made several adjustments to Megan Coilovers. Looks like front needs to be softer than the rear from the construction zone paving input! One starts as stiffest setting and backs up. Front is now 20 clicks back ( 12 of 32 hard) and rear is 17 clicks back (15 of 32).

Had a little misfire problem, I think I might know why..
New set of plugs put in, 93 tune loaded and good to go!

I'm not sure. The motor got swapped at 18.5k (dealership changed a lifter and truck developed a lovely knock). They swapped a bunch of things over and I'm not sure if they put new plugs or not. If they didn't, 43k. If they did, about 25k.
Finally got around to starting the conversion of all remaining incandescent bulbs to LEDs.... Started with the back-ups, used the same ones geswek described in the thread he did. No external resistor required here. Time<10min with pics. Sorry for the dirty car.. it's a DD, rained last nite and today, live on a dirt (now mud) road, & haven't washed in 10 days.
First pic doesn't show brightness well... but the L side is LED and the R side is stock... good color temp match.
This second pic shows the LEDs in both... they are considerably brighter than stock. The yellow light on the ground is from the stock license plate lights.

I have driven 2,000 mi in Flex since last Sunday AM. Coilovers have gotten a good workout. Finding it hard to adjust them to ride decent on wash board winter roads in IA & IL. Down to around #8 setting on front from 32 being hardest. I also get an occasional KLUNK on drivers side front. Wondering if that spring needs to be tightened up some? Rear set at about 17 and for some reason is only now as harsh as front.
Any opinions? Handling is more precise, even with Goodyear RS-A's which were set at 42lbs cold before I left FL at 70 deg temps.
Averaged 69.5 mph for 1616 mi trip (GPS #) from my drive to son's! Gas got cheaper from FL to here. Reg started out at $3.52 in Naples and was $2.77 in Mason City yesterday. 93 was only $3.11 there VS $3.95 in Naples. Even IL was $2.99 Reg! Usually it's the highest. On Oct 31-Nov 2, Gas prices from IA to FL only varied about $.15 all the way down and including Naples. Can you say being shafted now!!!!

Changed oil, ptu oil, rear diff oil, and rotated tires today. As soon as my spark plugs come in I'll change them out, and clean out the throttle body as well.
