It was my first time ever doing trans fluid so i was extra cautious, i think like 4 hours. Next time will probably take me 2. you’ll need a way to torque to inch-lbs. i had a 1/4” drive inch pound torque wrench but realized i didnt have a 1/4” extension for half the bolts after i was...

I'm using valvoline synthetic 75w90. I promise it's better than the magnetic mud that's going to come out of your diff.

I was under the impression that if you reset BMS you don’t need to wait at all to drive. But if you replace the battery, and you let the car sit for 8 hours it will automatically reset the BMS for you. could be wrong but i’m pretty sure of that. The engine issues are not related to the battery...

My gosh.. how does this happen? How does that get past quality control? Ridiculous. A lot of these technicians are really good, but the flat rate for warranty repairs often leave them underpaid for the hours they put in. Be sure to look over all your hoses and clips and trim pieces and make sure...

Very possible that’s your ground going out. unfortunately there are a lot of common issues that cause the same warnings on the dash. I’ve read about speed sensors and abs sensors causing these issues. As well as FADA failures causing it. It really needs some more digging into your codes and...

At least you shouldn’t have to worry about the oil pan for a while. I did my FADA upgrade last year and now it looks like my pan is leaking.

From what I’ve observed (and I mentioned this already), there are many issues that ford puts out TSBs for that should be recalled. Can’t speak for other manufacturers. But front axle disconnect actuators having a 100% failure rate early in life, and AWD module grounding failures could even be...

Figured i’d update here after almost a month. I have not had a single issue return after doing this forbidden TSB. Car’s behaving great!

Not sure you said anything that wasn’t already said previously. You’re limited by your timing on 93. Which is why adding port injection wouldn’t help you.

You’ll love it. You will only hear it in sport mode past 30mph with the factory tune. Not sure about with a tune

That’s frustrating that the sound is back. What grease did you use? I’ve heard different things, I just went with some stinky red bearing grease I’ve had forever.

not sure if this is the right tool but I used this. Worked okay. would have been nice if that bar was longer for this job. https://a.co/d/cIfaCXf figured I will probably find a lot more uses for it in the future. And I used the cheapest 5$ seal removal tool it came out in 3 seconds on the first...

Thanks for sharing this. It looks like we both have information from a trusted source that doesn’t line up. I have a 2020, maybe the splined studs are different. I used this vid from FordBossMe who is very trustworthy and he was using Ford’s Oasis database for the data. This is the second time...

Funny, i didn’t want to drain the diff until i was sure the axle nut and strut bolts would break loose. Ended up forgetting to drain it and made a bit of a mess

Thanks for the help and giving me confidence to tackle it. Wasn’t too bad at all. Hardest part for me was seating the new one all the way. I bought a cheap bearing drive / seal installer tool like you suggested but the sway bar was in my way so had a hard time driving it in. Finally decided to...

Replaced a leaking front passenger axle seal. Not as fun as the other mod posts but glad it’s done

Interesting that one guide says fill plug 18ft-lbs and the other says 30ft lbs. 24 it is! I did a stupid thing and filled the front differential when I had only the front end on ramps. It overfilled and caused the passenger axle seal to go bad. So now I’m replacing the seal right now. Don’t be...

The transfer case has a solenoid with clutches that bias power between the front and rear wheels. The FADA (front axle disconnect actuator) literally just disconnects the front axles from the transfer case when there is zero power going to the front. I guess it’s supposed to reduce rolling...

Do you happen to remember the cost for the services? I did front and rear dif and trans fluid and filter myself. I need the t case done. Dealership wrote a quote for all of these services it totaled to like $3k with some additional stuff kinda sticker shocked me so i did it myself.

My gripe with the recalls is that there are many things that SHOULD be recalled that are brushed under the rug. Like the AWD module ground. Worse so- it’s not covered under powertrain warranty from what i’ve heard since it’s electronic. Or the Front Axle Disconnect Actuators that have a 100%...
