Have to purchase a new cross member as there is an insulator musing from the seconh hole. Does not appear from looking at my 2 bolt in my garage that there is any way to upgrade from the one bolt without replacing it. Crossmember was $1500 and quote I received from ford to install was $1300...

I have no problem laughing at myself. Glad you don't either. Doh!

I had a failure. It was in my vice. And I beat on it for about 3 minutes with a sledgehammer. You think they will cover me???:D:D

Awesome! Might have to look into that.

My dealer told me no. In his mind you are installing a superior Ford product. Kind of like my argument for the inter-cooler.

Thanks to @UNBROKEN . If you pull the battery there is a nice spot to the left of the cabin air filter. Look around on the inside and outside. I drilled from the outside. Clean it up, thro a bit of primer, throw a grommet and you are good to go. Check out his thread...

The only problem I have is it seems more times than not seat heating and steering wheel heat is turned on when I get in. Other than that it gets pretty hot when I want it to.

Not gonna lie, that looks like I welded it :eek: Certainly not what I would expect from a competent welder. Should be stacks of dimes.

Completely agree! Some of us think they did this due to part availability and/or penny pinching. Either way, not a good look for Ford IMO. This crossmember is taking up way to much space in my garage. I need to get off the pot and either do it or pay Ford to do it which pains me.

I got one door sound deadened and new components installed in that door. I will say this, sound deadening to the extent of taking everything out of the door and treating everything in the door and all that plastic takes time. I burned the whole day on one door....and it wasn't even a front...

Yeah looks great. Maybe I'll get off my butt and install mine. Then again I still have lots of boxes of stuff to install so tough to choose.....

I shot them an email this afternoon and about an hour later it showed up at my door :D I can say this, the carbon fiber splitter is beautiful!

Put in my new XS battery with the charging port idea I stole from @UNBROKEN Then I got the Check Charging System soon message. Worried I screwed something up with that bogus plate that mounts on the positive post. Turned out I missed reconnecting a small connector on the ground connector. Whew!

Yes. That's the sad part to me. The difference between my 1 bolt and two bolt is tiny. On the one bolt there is just a hole. On the two bolt, there is a larger hole with an isolator installed. So what, they saved a couple bucks on the subframe and another couple bucks on the bolt? The...

Mine has two bolt holes ready to receive the second bolt.

The UPR is really nice IMO.

Just an fyi for those considering replacing the cross member. I got quoted $1300 for 8hrs book time labor only as I am providing parts ($1400 for parts). Was considering having Ford do it in the event they eventually up the recall to include the cross member and I might have a chance of...

Got the 0 gauge run through the firewall. Shout out to @UNBROKEN for the great spot next to the cabin air filter. Why do my hands always look like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson whenever I am fishing wires???

True that!!!!! Especially after spending a month in a burn unit when I was younger and dumber.
