    Anyone installed Halo's in their headlights?

    @802SHO post below may have pushed me, I've wanted to put Halo's in my headlights for a while now. The post below makes me feel better about baking vs using a heat gun to get the lenses off. My concern now is who makes a quality halo kit and is there any issues with the heat produced by the...

    Who makes a quality upgraded ignition coil-3rd MSD coil failed

    Daily driver with a mild Gearhead AO tune and OEM turbos, just had the 3rd MSD coil fail in just a few years of use. It seems to have better idle quality and power with the MSD over the factory coils, but no supporting evidence from a data log. Does anyone make a decent coil, or should I just...

    Fuel injector gave up the ghost-recommendations

    I have an active cylinder 1 p0301 and p0316 set that I'll verify if it's the injector on tomorrow (Definitely not spark). If it turns out to be injector related I'm thinking about future mods and have a few injector questions related to brand and tune. Currently have a GH AO tune that needs a...

    Part numbers needed for rocker panel retainers...

    A while back there was a thread about color matching the grey rocker panel, door trim panels, bumper extension parts and I'm fairly sure shodded or bpd1151 posted the part numbers for the plastic retainers that hold the panels in place. For the life of me I can't find the thread and the dealer...

    Did Ford sell me a lesser quality brake pad

    Stopped by the dealer we use at work and gave them my vin and let them know I wanted the EXACT pad that was on my 13 PP SHO. Picked them up without looking and when I looked at the receipt it was P/n FU2Z-2V001-H (Motorcraft). Everything I see on the forum shows they should have been Ford...

    Any Green Gem Metallic SHO owners?

    I had to take a run to the auction today to take care of a few Mitsubishi recalls that slipped through the cracks, and as we were driving down the isles of cars I spotted a Gen 6 SHO sporting Green Gem Metallic, black rims, and tinted windows...holy crap was it gorgeous! I almost want to go...

    Should I be mad about a unwanted alignment...

    So I ran my set of Continental DWS 06's down to the 3-4/32" mark and had my local Firestone dealer replace them with a new set. The service manager was pushing an alignment and specifically called out toe angle from the first call to order them and when I dropped the car off to have the tires...

    So today I replaced my sparkplugs with a range colder to go with the tune and decided to grab some pictures with the bore scope of what are typically problem spots with really happy results.

    Help-having an Oh Sh!t tuning moment

    So I purchased a SCT X4 and tune from Gearhead. Received the tuner, sent the form, and received the tune email in record time. 1) I loaded the Device Updater without issue (windows 7/10) 2) I went to the email and don't have a clue what to do. When I click on either of the two attachments my...

    Sooo, i decided to replace my aging HID bulbs. Fleet.ford simply states turn the bulb 1/8 turn counter clockwise and remove. The problem is that the jackasses should have made the access hole larger. I can get the bulb free, but not out due to the style of the HID bulb connector. I'm...

    Some new info I ran across concerning DI system valve coking

    This was kind of interesting, it came up on a monthly Tech call we do with GM. This was concerning cleaning DI systems. The tools and process are GM related, but I can see cross over uses. The links below are generic from a quick search, but the tool part numbers are correct. Application: All...

    Performance battery options

    My second Motorcraft battery had green crap growing out the top of the positive post, so I cleaned it and tested. It's down to 178cca and surprisingly not showing any signs of being weak but it's days are numbered. Is there a replacement battery that stands out as a winner for our platform? Is...
