Took me about 4 hours to install downpipes and about an hour to install the Thermal exhaust. The passenger side is a bitch to get out. If I were to do it again, maybe 2 hours. Even at $200/hr that’s only $1000. I’m no expert mechanic but have skills from rebuilding a few cars. Sent from my...

I have a Zen and have never had any of the delays you speak of. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Some retailers stock product. Some just drop ship. Many do both. If I am worried about speed of delivery, I will contact them before I order. My Waido splitter took over two months to produce and ship. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ditto. Stick to good brand names and you are GTG. I usually run Mobil 1 but I have no issue using others. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s what we love about you. You don’t have to try and figure out what you’re saying. Straight and to the point albeit blunt at times. I have offended some by speaking my mind but my true friends appreciate it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yup, looks good. The dealer I bought my ST from could not get my alignment done after springs. They had no clue about the rear upper inner bolt. Any the ST’s had been out for two years when I bought mine[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I almost always replace the bearing when doing struts. Cheap insurance. The Explorer’s are plastic trays with ball bearings. No metal races for the bearings.

Not sure on the ecoboost but smoke on startup after sitting is usually valve seals. When you shut it off, oil leaks into the combustion chamber and gets burned off in short order when you start up. How many miles? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like it got wet with something. Does your rear ac still get cold and your heat work back there? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gotta be a loose wire somewhere imo. I assume pushing the on/off button sends a signal over the can bus to the oem amp telling it to turn on. I used a Zen unit to tap all the channels so two plugs to plug in and the wiring from the amp was done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You saying the oem head unit will not turn on? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Certainly not ideal but I have had zero leaks or problems in 3 years. Good luck on the upgrade. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
