    Water Pump/Phaser/Etc Job Helpful Advice or Tips

    Hey all. I've had the SHO beached in our shop for a bit, waiting for me and my dad to have enough weekend free time to start cracking it open and doing pump and phasers. Never saw real visible weep but the Blackstone reports kept coming each 2k miles with more coolant being detected and the...

    Doing Coolant Diagnostics, Any Advice

    This weekend I plan on doing a coolant pressure test, and just general diagnostics for leaks. Last oil change, Blackstone Analysis showed very marginal levels of coolant detected in my oil, not enough to cause wear or affect viscosity. At that point I remember my reservoir levels were ok, and I...

    Blackstone Oil Results, Marginal Coolant

    I just got my first Blackstone results, and while originally was concerned about fuel dilution, was hit with a left hook that there's some coolant in my oil. This was changed at 77k after about 3k miles, had used Royal Purple that round but switched back to Amsoil when refilling. Positive for...

    Transmission Too Hot?

    Hey all. I blew my TC back in November, and had to get my trans rebuilt. Since then, I've paid more attention to trans temps, and have noticed on most days be it 50F outside or 80F, the trans just seems to run too hot. Over the course of a 30 minute drive to or from work, with light traffic and...

    Symptoms of Leaky Injector

    Hey all, currently on the GH e30 tune, which the car has handled well over the years. Recently, I've noticed if the car sits for a few days, it's started to have a momentary stumble upon cold start. Long term fuel trims look normal, 1.03 ish, but on startup after it leaves open loop, short-term...

    Rapid Fire Front End Squeak On H&R Springs Over Bumps

    I've had a mysterious squeak in the car that seems to have decided to announce itself a lot louder and more often after exiting winter. The squeak seems to reveal itself the most when the car is either in a neutral or forward lean (braking), while going over rougher MN roads. With the stiffer...

    Fuel Rail Pressure - Friend in Need - P00C6

    A buddy of mine who also has a SHO is in a bit of a pickle. I can get more of the specifics from him, but essentially, he's far up north ice fishing in MN, and just got hit with a P00C6, Fuel Pressure Too Low, and a Cylinder 3 misfire, straight to limp mode. I believe he has a 2013 non-pp, non...

    Dark Green Drops Under Car

    Hello all, back for some more wallet destruction discovery. At the beginning of December, I finally got my car back from a transmission rebuild. One thing I noticed is that the cabin from the get-go smelled like gear oil, but I figured that was likely due to a gear oil covered mechanic sitting...

    Non-HID SHO

    Hi all, This my fault for not checking more thoroughly, but my headlights had been getting dim, and I foolishly assumed they were HIDs as most SHOs that were just old and yellowing. Got the bumper off, detached a headlight, and what do ya know, no ballast. I had bought LED conversion lights that...

    Sudden Gear Slipping After Fluid Change (Emergency?)

    Hi all, I'll cut to the chase. A few weeks ago in my SHO, the RDU was replaced (a whole nightmare in itself, took 2 RDUs and this one still sings slightly as 70 mph). I did a break in period of about 500 miles on the new RDU, driving very gently. I then brought it over to a Lincoln dealership to...

    3rd RDU in Car Is Still singing

    Well long story short, recently I had to get my shredded RDU replaced by Ford. The car was originally brought in because the RDU was singing/whining at any speed during deceleration. After a much too lengthy process, Ford finally replaced the differential with a new one. While the persistent...

    Which of these two likely caused a misfire?

    Today, I was planning on cleaning out my cold air intake filter, and I noticed my hot side PCV valve was making a vibrating noise. It was an easy swap for a new valve and hose, and I installed (what I thought) was a now clean and oiled filter. This is my first time attempting to clean a filter...

    EcoPowerParts CAI Replacement

    Hey all, Last time I bought a replacement EPP Gen 2 CAI filter, I believe I may have ordered it from this link at Ortiz Performance, that unfortunately no longer works. I think I've seen postings saying they were hand made and not really mass produced, the current filter I have on has gotten...

    Whirring Sound at Low Speed

    I recently crossed 71k miles in my 2018, and did some basic maintenance. Rotated tires, changed oil (Royal Purple, first time trying a K&N instead of Motorcraft filter), did the rounds, brakes seemed fine. The car, at least in my opinion, has been pretty well maintained, I had coolant, ptu and...

    How Do I Drain GH Intercooler?

    Hey everyone, My car's approaching about 68k miles, and I've been wanting to drain the Gearhead intercooler for a while. The IC was put on by the prior owner, and in total probably has been on the car for four years. I've been suspecting some pre-ignition lately, and seeing as I don't see an...

    Getting to the Bottom of Dropping OAR

    Hey all, I'm trying to put a pin in the reason my OAR has dropped a bit lately. I'm on Gearhead's e30 Tune, at about 67k miles now (specs in sig), and for a while through this winter I was running at a very happy -0.99 OAR on roughly e35-e40. I know some positive KR is expected to counteract...

    Cat Codes and Tough O2 Sensor

    Recently, I reduced my E content I was using on my GH AO 93 tune to cover for bad winter gas, down to 15-19, and I received a CEL for 0420 and 0430, cat efficiency below threshold. Seeing as it was both banks simultaneously, and right when it's warming up and lowering ethanol levels, and I'm at...

    Can't See Climate Controls In CarPlay

    Weird question/observation, in my 2018 SHO, I noticed when in CarPlay mode, I can't see the UI circular menu pop up for when I make changes with the climate control buttons like fan speed or temperature. The only original SYNC menu I have that seems capable of showing in CarPlay is the volume...

    High LTFT Both Banks Idle/Under Load

    Hey everyone, Came back from a week and a half away staying with my grandpa during hospice, and had left my car in a temperature controlled garage. Started up sounding a bit colder than expected, and down the road a bit after a pull, received a blinking CEL for a short period before it...
