    Bad catalytic converter

    The hole appeared to be caused from exterior corrosion on a weld. After removing, the inside of the cats looked great! I probably could have just repaired the hole. Anyway, I installed PPE catted downpipes and replaced all sensors and hardware. Relatively easy replacement with no major issues...

    Bad catalytic converter

    My 2011 PP with 70,000 miles started getting a P0420 code after replacing my drive belt and tensioner ( I cant remember but maybe I accidentally hit the cat with a wrench??) . Ford service diagnosed a hole in the bank 1 catalytic converter ( I believe it’s the longer one). They quoted $2100...

    Inoperable Caliper

    I use the Permatex ceramic extreme and it works great. They have a new silicone ceramic extreme but I have not tried that yet.

    Gen 4 Wheel Pitting

    I used this technique in the past for some curb rash: https://www.autopia-carcare.com/realwhda.html and it worked well. Much better than the scuffed up rims I was fixing. The paint they use is close, but not an exact match for our rims. You can't see a difference from far away but you can...

    Alternator?

    I've gone through two batteries where the voltage tests fine but the amps are very low. Had to bring it in to dealer to confirm bad battery.

    OEM Tires or else?

    I use BF Goodrich G-force comp 2a/s and really like them. For some reason, I find the 255 width cheaper than 245. Discount Tire Direct has a black friday sale worth checking out.

    Not a Taurus, just an interesting mystery

    its strange that the tire markings line up with the rim spokes. Is that brake fluid on the ground? Maybe the brake locked up, rim overheated and started to melt the coating on the rim?

    A/C Blend door Actuator

    There are two more on the passenger side, one right behind the glove box (easy to change) and another near the floor board that is a pain to change. I replaced both of those to fix my AC issue.

    Changed Spark Plugs Today - SP-534 or 580?

    Are SP-471 the GT plugs?

    Rubbing noise in rear when turning sometimes

    I had a similar issue and thought it was the wheel bearings, but it turned out the drivers side brake pads were just completely worn down. Not sure if its just me, but I only get about 15,000 miles out of brake pads.

    Motul ?

    I used Castro edge titanium but then switched to Pennzoil ultra platinum because people here seemed to love it.

    PTU Fluid - Where Is It Going?

    to keep the vent clear, could you blow compressed air into the fill hole (after draining but before filling)? or would that make a huge mess?

    Front strut mount

    Have you looked on RockAuto? I checked for my 2011 and they have 6 different brands of front strut mounts and two options from Monroe.

    Strut / Shock Suspension Codes

    I have to do the same with my 2011 - the rear shock absorber seem to be worn out. I want to replace most of the suspension components in the rear (stabilizer bar, trailing arm, etc.) hopefully this winter. I honestly cannot tell what suspension code I have with a PP, but it seems to me the...
