    Anyone tried the heavy shockproof fluid in the PTU?

    Yes, I've seen this several times, especially in automation control equipment. We had a project last year to upgrade the 34 year old control system on a machine but due to supply chain and logistics issues, we couldn't get the equipment we needed from our regular vendors. We started just looking...

    2018 commuter?

    I daily my 2010 and at 278,000 miles I haven't experienced any *major* engine issues, but it is all stock, no tuning. My commute is only about 30 miles tho. -You should probably expect to replace the turbos at least once by 250k. I had to replace the front turbo a second time because the...

    Anyone tried the heavy shockproof fluid in the PTU?

    Really? I went to Jegs last week, they didn't have any on the shelf and told me it was on back order. I'll have to run over sometime this week and check. EDIT: I checked again and they were out again. :(

    2010 Timing Chain

    I didn't need to touch the AC system at all. I think I just loosened the brackets that affixed the AC lines to the body and there was enough 'wiggle room' to do everything without opening the AC system.

    Temporary Misfire and Pending Low Fuel Rail Pressure Code

    New Injectors are in and the car runs well again. I did order a new HPFP but it just arrived last night and I haven't had a chance to install it yet.

    Temporary Misfire and Pending Low Fuel Rail Pressure Code

    Yes, Pumps only generate flow, it's the restriction that creates pressure. If the pump can build pressure at the fuel rail (firewall in this case) then that would mean the fuel pump isn't restricted in the tank at least. I'd agree that it would be best to test the LP fuel pressure while the...

    lost AC during WOT pull

    Uh, every Ford I've ever owned has shut off the A/C at WOT (Except my new truck which is a Hybrid and i believe uses an electric A/C compressor) to reduce parasitic engine load. My dad said his 1973 Mach 1 had a switch on the carb that would cut the A/C out at WOT. I think this is expected...

    Temporary Misfire and Pending Low Fuel Rail Pressure Code

    Oh FFS, The pump is replaceable but the filter isn't? Genius. Next are they're gonna remove oil filters and change to replacing engines instead? I might start with pressure testing the LP fuel system to see what pressure it's making, pretty sure i saw a port on the line at the firewall.

    Temporary Misfire and Pending Low Fuel Rail Pressure Code

    Rock Auto has 2 in tank pumps. An "Autobest" for $22 with a lifetime warranty, and a "GMB" for $69 (Nice) with a 1 year warranty. $22 seems suspiciously cheap. Anybody used the GMB pump? Another option would be replacing the entire pump/housing assy. "Ultra Power" is $85, "Carter" $158, Delphi...

    Temporary Misfire and Pending Low Fuel Rail Pressure Code

    Anybody use Bosch injectors and HPFP? They are $78 on rock auto and the HPFP is $110. Do we know who the OE is? My O'Reilly wants $170/each for standard motor injectors, so I'm thinking the Bosch injectors from RA are my best bet

    Temporary Misfire and Pending Low Fuel Rail Pressure Code

    Welp, mine returned with a vengeance this time. Was on the interstate and heard a pop and the car started misfiring. Pulled off and these are the codes (if anyone can decipher them) Shut it off and it wouldn't restart at first, but did after a couple attempts. Has a full on misfire now and I...

    I seem to have lost all boost

    The screens come in 2 packs, I'm pretty sure I have a spare screen from when I installed this turbo. EDIT: Yep, I have 1 AA5Z6C683A listed in my inventory spreadsheet. The most irritating part is the bearings didn't fail, the seals weren't the failure....THE FRIGGIN NUT FELL OFF. Hopefully the...

    I seem to have lost all boost

    I really need the car back up ASAP. I'm working out of state for the next 3 weeks, and can't put all those miles on the 'new' truck. Also, Gearhead's website says the turbos start at $3400, 'require' a gearhead tune, & replacement manifolds. It'd probably be over $4000 when all said and done. I...

    I seem to have lost all boost

    No, they are Ford replacements though. That one has about 50k on it. The original lasted ~220k, so I'm quite disappointed in the replacements. I bought that one in 2020 for ~$650. I just checked my Ford dealer and they want ~$1300 for one now and considering this one didn't last, I'm tempted to...

    I seem to have lost all boost

    Thanks, I'll go through that today if I have time. I did throw a pair of BOVs at it last night because I could get them. No change. I'm at work right now and just had a thought, I've seen some codes that 'lockout' when set. Does the code need to be cleared for it to try to build boost again?

    I seem to have lost all boost

    So I was in Indiana today and was going up a grade and heard a chirp/bark as I was on the throttle and the car fell on its face. I let out of it and got back in it and it was seemingly happy again. Over the next 50 miles or so, this happened a few times then eventually it never recovered. It now...

    High Milage 2014

    i have currently have about 273k miles on my daily driver 2010 SHO. I would say it has been relatively reliable considering the milage on it, but It could be an outlier. Here are the maintenance/repair items I have done that I can think of off the top of my head: -I did timing chains/water...

    PSA Check rear subframe to body mounts for rust if you live anywhere near the salt belt

    Got the rear subframe out and the bolts are sleeved through the 'frame rail' that is rotted out, so probably not as much risk as I initially thought. Dropping the subframe wasn't as difficult as I expected (thanks to the quick jacks) but a couple of the bolts for the "subframe reinforcement...

    PSA Check rear subframe to body mounts for rust if you live anywhere near the salt belt

    Just a couple more photos to give a better idea of the location. These were taken at the passengers rear wheel well. I'm planning on picking up a set of quick jacks to lift the car off the subframe, but it'll be a 'when I get around to it' project as my schedule is pretty much full for the...
