    I've got a Check Engine Light

    Update for you guys on the Purge Valve. Yesterday my Neighbor and I checked the valve using his Ford computer, he is a tech at the dealership, and found the valve is bad… stuck open. We had to remove it to be able to get the correct part number as the part Ford lists is only a hose and not the...

    I've got a Check Engine Light

    I just got the same MIL Light for Regulatory Emissions and checked the system and found code P0496, evap emission high purge flow. I think it’s the purge valve starting to stick open . After filling up with gas, the vehicle has a hard time starting, just takes longer to start. Picture is...

    E-15 Gasoline?

    Thank you TMac, I was just checking the owners manual and it says do not use fuel with more than 15% ethanol…. I am just going try and avoid the E-15 as much as possible, I wish I had more than one local gas station that sells non-ethanol fuels in my area

    E-15 Gasoline?

    I hope this question is in the correct sub forum, if not sorry. I heard that the Government is going to or has approved E-15 Gas Blend to help “Ease” gas prices and set to be delivered starting June 1st. My question is, will this blend damage our engine? I know currently most gas contains up to...

    Octane Boost?

    With the gas prices constantly rising I am probably going to put my ride back to the stock tune file. I wanted to know if anyone has had success with using a “Real” octane booster fuel additive, not the stuff off the shelf at Auto zone or Advance? I was pondering if I keep the performance tune...

    Tune After Borla Cat Back Exhaust/21E11 Recall?

    I have the Borla Stype cat back, had Both Cats replaced 2 months ago at the Ford Dealer. No issues with warranty claims with having a aftermarket cat back system. The issue with the Ford cats is the mounting arm bracket weld cracking which leads to the upper flange weld cracking, when the...

    FS Drivers Side Mirror

    Good question, I had totally forgotten about this…. Make an offer, I don’t need it and not looking to make bank, just wanted to put it on here to help someone out.

    Exhaust Clamps

    Guys, I have the Borla Stype and I wanted to know if anyone has a SOLID recommendation for clamps that do not leak as much as the standard clamps that came with the kit? I was thinking of getting some like the one in the picture I attached, any help would be great.

    Transmission slip

    This has happened to me a few times and the issue was starting the vehicle and a second later putting it into gear, apparently the transmission fluid pump did not have enough pressure built up and that’s why it would limp out of my garage and then lightly bump and go. Now I start it and give it...

    Exhaust Mid Pipe question

    Hey guys, have a question that I think one of y’all can answer. A couple weeks ago the dealer replaced both Cats and mid pipes due to broken cat welds and broken flex joints, so far no issues with any rattling noises or exhaust fumes. So, my question is…. Why has the passenger side Midpipe color...

    Anyone need a drivers side mirror? Nothing wrong with it, I forgot I had it and came across it today and figured I would post it.

    Exhaust Recall?

    I guess this would be the correct thread to post on this. My 2020 had been rattling on startup and while driving for awhile, I looked at the flex couplings and the passenger side had broken, I think it was partly due to the hose clamp put on to stop the rattling. I took it to an exhaust shop...

    Scratched black wheel

    Depending on your location… State, City…. Look up a company called Onsiterecon… I am located in Tidewater VA area and have used them for wheel damage like stone chips and curb rash, also for scratched paint on the rear bumper. Really easy to get a quote, email a couple pics of the issue and...

    Exhaust Break behind muffler

    I just noticed this today, the band clamp on the flex pipe was loose and rattling so I was going to tighten it and realized that won’t fix the rattling… see pic of the flex split. Local Exhaust shop is going to replace the flex pipe tomorrow for 189.00….. better than spending 400-500 dollars for...
