To an old school guy like me, I describe it more as computer controlled 4wd, and not the traditional old school 4wd. To me, an awd is full time viscous coupling, no clutch, awd. Like the original Audi Quattro drive which is outstanding. No interaction required, person or computer, as it...

I’d rather have a knowledgeable shop rebuild mine. Had a customer of my former business did the remans for a big 3 automaker. While they had a great process for high volume, they were far from one guy building your transmission. I’d rather have one guy doing it versus 30 guys doing their step...

No. It will push old fluid back into the system potentially clogging abs valves. Not 100% likely to screw something up but why take the chance. Also good to open the bleeder screws every so often so they don’t rust and seize up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not going to go into long stories about the Chicago Assembly Plant but they were a big customer of my business for twenty years. Spent many hours there. Knowing what I know, I cannot believe I bought an ST in 22 and I cannot believe it has been really good in its first 35,643 miles. I thought...

On a side note, wider winter tires generally means worse traction than narrower tires. Having said that, if you like the look, go for it. I run 295/40R22 Michelin all seasons and get good traction in anything but deeper snow. We don’t get much in Chicagoland anymore. Handles 6 inches fine...

Agree completely. In order for nothing to be touching I would think you would have had to strip the ring and pinion gear and you would have a few cups of metal in the bottom of the diff. There is no way for stuff to just fall out without a big hole in the casing. Maybe he’s just really bad at...

Unfortunately there were a lot of trouble ST’s in 2020MY. Really bad new model launch. Quality seems to have improved a bit since then. Sorry about your troubles and hope you get squared away. I’ve been pretty lucky with my 2022 so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Boy does Ford seem to have problems writing and testing their software. Seems since at least 2020 they have been using customers to beta test their new updates[emoji85] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m the opposite. I do everything but warranty work in my garage on a quickjack. I feel fortunate I have great mechanical skills and lots of tools as I owned a tool company for decades. While I am now over 60 and could just pay to have the work done, I find it satisfying doing the work and I...

Just my 2 cents but I would stick to the manufacturer spec on wheel size for given tire size. It may be fine but there also might be some liability issues if god forbid something happens down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just received my preorder. Impressive to say the least. Top quality welding. Stacked dimes everywhere. Installed with some raising the drivetrain a couple inches. Fit perfect, no leaks, and a quality magnetic drain plug. Nice protected sump as well. Don’t hesitate if you are considering this...

Sorry for your troubles. Can’t help much other than to say I have the SPD downpipes and 2.5 Thermal and they installed perfectly together. Good luck resolving! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome! Enjoy them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Here’s to hoping they took good care of you! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree on pricing, I consider it reasonably cheap compared to others. My CTSV was around a grand for a dyno tune. Go European like MB, Audi, Porsche any you get into big dollar parts and tune. The remote tuning via logging is cheap and almost as good as a full dyno tunes imo. Sent from my iPad...

Can you make it happen or is it a once in a while issue or it happened once? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
