    A Bid Farewell

    All good man! Ill be around, but thank you! Ive warmed up to the look of the MKS and it's a different animal compared to the SHO.

    A Bid Farewell

    You nailed it! I have a 2014 tuxedo black metallic MKS Ecoboost. Not sure which package it has, i know it has just about everything except lane keep assist, parallel park assist, adaptive cruise control & my least favorite the forward collision warning system. Black on black too!

    A Bid Farewell

    I am currently moving away from the ford taurus. I've officially sold my SHO today. A fellow car buddy of mine was in an accident last month and was without a car for quite some time. I did a good deed and asked if he'd be interested in my 2015 SHO. He accepted it and we shook hands on the deal...

    Questions About Turbos

    Backup Camera Swap Out

    It wasn't hard to swap out. You just take off the trunk liner and there's clips that hold that chrome bar on with the camera attached to it. The camera comes off i believe it just unclips.

    How to make ptu reliable and water pump problems:( and more ptu questions sorry it's a lot I have so many wonders about this car still

    Unfortunately these PTU's for these cars do fail for a few different reasons. 1st is heat. I can't stress that enough that due to its location it gets heat soak from the exhaust/catalytic converters because its tucked up under the car. 2nd off is abuse. Hot rodding it constantly without...

    New Keyfob Remote Successfully Programmed

    After trying to go about how to get my brand new OEM intelligent key access remote programmed, i called a guy i know that's a locksmith and he was able to successfully program the key fob. All functions work as they should and he even cut the detachable key to match. All for $100 bucks. Works...

    Smart Key Access Remote Replacement

    So I've called a locksmith person i know. He said it'd be $100 bucks to program my new smart key access remote to my car. I can get the detachable "key" cut at a local Ace hardware store for next to nothing. Then I'll have a brand new one that works and keep the original one as a backup. You can...

    Smart Key Access Remote Replacement

    I could try that but atm dont have a laptop computer. Plus the cost to be able to use it wouldnt benefit me. I mean it would, but i think there's a way to program a new key fob to the car without that or heading to a dealer which would cost me way too much. It's a 10yr old car with close to 130k...

    Smart Key Access Remote Replacement

    Smart Key Access Remote Replacement

    I read somewhere that you can program a key fob yourself without having to go to the dealer and be ***** of $$$ for programming. I hate stealerships.

    Hey all. I want to replace my worn out 10+ year old smart key access remote fob with a geniuine ford OEM one. The unlock button contact point is worn down so it no longer works.

    Any Good Leads On LED Reverse Lights???

    Can anyone recommend good quality LED reverse lights for my ford taurus? Is installation easy? I haven't yet looked at how to access the bulbs to get them out. I can refer to my online PDF owners manual for that. As i have new tint installed that's dark, yes i could roll the windows down to see...

    Anyone Running With 5% Window Tint?

    Amen! 5% IMO is the best shade of tint as long you're careful at night! LED reverse lights + backup camera helps too if you're in a dark area without streetlights.

    Anyone Running With 5% Window Tint?

    Same here but mine was also 5% but old faded and started peeling. I had it removed and new tint installed. Same percentage but ive been so used to dark tint that its like 2nd nature to roll my window down when turning down dark streets. But I agree!

    Window Tint

    Some pics i snapped after my window tint appointment. 5% ceramic film. It looks good and i can see out perfectly fine.

    Anyone Running With 5% Window Tint?

    Valid point, as much as i hate to agree it can be difficult. I have a 2015 SHO and its got all the bells and whistles plus backup camera but im also a cautious driver day or night. I just had 5% ceramic tint installed today. Looks good.
