The torque makes this weird. Seems like a tolerance issue. Also, this dude walkin around in flip flops in a shop is INSANE

The lack of oil light is what gets me on "It came from the factory that way". This engine is setup for high pressure oil (why the pan gasket can be such a problem) - I can't imagine that there is no warning for low/no pressure. I would definitely push them to forensically checking for signs...

And here I was irked because Ford didn't notch the under-leather padding to keep the seams flat.... this is way worse. :cry:

Yea, I've heard the "Bam! Instantly I have no oil" comment before, I'd love to know where it goes. Out the turbos into charge pipes or passed the piston rings into the combustion chamber? Shouldve seen a lot of blue smoke or stalled. Out of the turbo exhaust side into the exhaust? I would expect...

True. The fuel comes in when you want to go faster downhill, which the performance mode makes me do. (Downhill that slow? Not on my rollercoaster!) . It's also nice to save the wear on the vehicle. (Holding back that hard means added strain)

Well, the shifting is "More aggressive", meaning you'll always be in a lower gear than "Normal" mode would be - which means engine braking will be a factor. Hell, in performance mode coasting downhill, I'm constantly bumping the gear up by one or two, just to keep revs low and save fuel. :cool:

I love that the push for electrification is seen as the reason quality is bad on vehicles - leave the political bias at home. It has everything to do with companies sacrificing quality in the name of profits. No one said "Build electric cars, and also build the rest like sh**"...

This is a write-to-tmp-folder-without-cleanup issue? UGH. Bad engineering bugs me. Why are you releasing images with debug messaging, lack of a cleanup process, etc? Honestly, /tmp is temporary. You should write nothing there that is not going to be deleted after the car turns off, and it should...

Look at Unbroken, helping people 12 ounces at a time. :cool:

They probably dont want thermal expansion, moisture buildup, or the cabin to be so airtight that slamming a door breaks a window. (Although there are better vent techniques to avoid this)

As a note about the sales pitch on the exhaust tip - so what? You act like the whole time they did nothing but sling it. Did I say we should get them for the ST? ;) I would however note that if I spent all night digging through that thread to hear how ambient temps and other factors cause...

I think some points are missed here. 1. Pressure differential is key to turbo operation - this is a fact, not a question 2. Although you can absolutely, incorrectly setup a larger exhaust, the statement I made is based on the assumption that a system is properly engineered 3. I have heard all...

Yea? they said what they actually *did*?

You bet your a** it is. Laugh at the imports with 3" exhausts all you want, but if they're straight, made with good material, have good welds, and proper merges, the bigger the better. (Especially with turbos) Just in case you need educated:

I imagine Ford is bound by some deal Google has... I'm more than a little concerned if this is the case.

They would only press in from the back because you want the bushing to be locked into place when it is tightened down, otherwise, it could just slide out the other side over time. I dont know if it is somehow a hydraulic bushing (maybe earlier parts were and they moved away from it?), but if...

Sorry, I missed that it was 64, not 54. Busy day at work. Yea, it's true that something so costly getting a discount is a solid if youre out of warranty. Personally I get the extended warranty just for B.S. like this.

That's what I was thinking, which is maybe why they want to charge so much - they might be trying to replace the entire subframe instead of pressing the bushing out, if it is indeed a fluid-filled bushing.

This isn't covered under drivetrain warranty? That is insane - this is not a perishable part, and you're at 54K miles...

You guys are making my car look GREAT :cool:
