    P0302 CEL

    Car recently developed a miss and eventually threw this CEL. Info on the car: Replacing the coil pack on cylinder 2 did not resolve the issue. I pulled the plug. The plug was fouled with significant carbon buildup. There was oil on the spark plug threads but no oil visible on the tip or...

    Pulled my HE fans

    I removed the fans and the bosch pump. Upgraded to the GT500 pump. After refilling I had white floating specks looked like dandruff in the degas. Tried flushing the system, put over 20g through it. Got some of it out, there is still a little left in there. On one of the hoses I removed (the...

    5.0 radiator drain

    I'd like to get as much out as I can and draining at the radiator gets 1/3 at most. I have read you can remove the lower radiator hose and then run the car briefly to get a lot more out. Never done this before so am not sure on the process. Does the thermostat need to come out for this to...

    Replacing GT500 AB

    I have single tip GT500 mufflers on this 2014 5.0 car. Stock headers, lethal off-road H, lethal OAP with resonators welded in. I'd like to replace the mufflers I have now with something: 1. Little to no rasp 2. 4" or larger rolled tips 3. Can be louder, not quieter Does such a thing exist in...

    2014 Coolant

    I got my car in 2014 and need to drain and fill the radiator. The stuff looks red to me. I can't find any motorcraft red coolant. Am I missing something here?

    HE Fans

    I read DOB's article on the HE fans and am considering removing them. Has anyone actually done testing before and after under similar ambient air and driving conditions to determine the effect? I mean in a real supercharged car and not sticking the HE on top of a truck. Just bought a set of...

    MT S/S vs M&H on 18x8

    I know the M&H will fit on a stock rim but will the MT S/S? The latter is a cheaper option. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-3484 275/45/r18

    Popping/Snapping noise under rear seat

    Linking a video. The noise is produced during throttle inputs or braking. Forward and backward movement of the car. It is bad, and does it constantly. It will do it infrequently over sharp bumps. The issue has been there for a while and gotten worse over time. Car has a BMR adjustable UCA...

    Car Cover

    My 2014 car is going to be in storage for a significant period of time. Probably around a year. It will be taken out and driven every 2-3 months. I'd like to get a cover for it that will be good enough for a garaged vehicle but not be super expensive. Nothing fancy just don't want any...

    reinstalling stock lca

    Gave the BMR double rod end adjustables a try. Had to learn the hard way. Beyond the jam nuts getting loose on me once which was an annoyance the noise is just unreal. Every little sharp bump in the road is a nice thunk in the car. The dash is going to rattle apart some day at this rate...

    catch cans and emissions inspections

    For quite a while now I've been running breathers. Left the check valve in and never removed it. Also have a cfm oil cap breather with a check ball inside. I may need to pass emissions (OBD2 only) in NV next year and on the off hand chance they poke around under hood am thinking about going...

    alignment

    Took a tape measure and measured the distance from the tire to the edge of the wheel well on both sides. It looks like the driver side is pulled a little closer towards the front of the car. As in about 1/8th of an inch. The car seems to drive pretty straight to me. If it pulls at all...

    permatex high temp

    I just finished putting my o2 defoulers in yesterday. Had to pull the midpipe to get them to thread. I used some permatex high temp red 81160 on the defouler to keep the inserted pill from rattling. Now I'm reading this may not be safe for my O2 sensors? Would have been nice to know that...

    crank rotation

    Gentlemen if I am standing in front of the car facing it. Which direction does the crank rotate? 5.0 gen1 coyote I'm using a j style O2 defouler and don't have much clearance above it on the passenger side. Concerned about condensation collecting in the defouler if I can't keep it facing...

    vibrant j style o2 spacers

    Got a set of these to try out. These have three different "jet" sizes you can choose from. What would be the best jet size to choose on these? I'd like to get this right the first time since the midpipe may need to come out for the install. Thanks...

    hoosier slicks

    https://www.hoosiermidatlantic.com/product.cfm?InvKey=29958 These are cheaper than a set of drag radials by around $150. Anyone try these? How well do they work with an automatic TVS car at the track and on the street? How much faster on the street will they wear vs. a mickey thompson R...

    Exhaust clamp vs. pipe size

    Kind of an ignorant question but here goes. If you have a 2.75" pipe like with the lethal over axle pipes. Is the correct size clamp a 2.75" or are you supposed to go one size up? Also one pipe slips into the other one. Couple clamps I'm considering. This is similar to what lethal...

    lethal oap and condensation

    I have a set of lethal oap and I can't get them to stop dripping water on cold starts. I can't hear or feel a leak but the evidence is there in the water that drips down. It is coming from the clamps highest up where the pipes go over the axle. I've moved the clamps around and re-tightened...

    More muffler help

    RE: Flowmaster outlaws vs. GT500 single tips Hard to find first hand comparisons on this and I've done some googling. Anyone who has had both care to comment? I have stock headers, offroad H, and resonators. Thinking about giving the outlaws a try. Have the GT500 single tips right now...

    VMP TVS - emissions question

    I plan on contacting VMP directly. Before doing so I would like to see if anyone here has dealt with this situation. I may need to pass emissions in NV. NV is a OBD2 testing state. No visual or tailpipe test is required. The vehicle is a 2014 5.0. O/R h-pipe. PCV system deleted...

    OBDLink scan tools

    https://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/pc-based/ Has anyone here tried one of these? I'd like a scan tool I can use on all my cars and one that will easily check all the emissions readiness monitors. This looks like it would work well and the application on the phone seems nice. The WIFI...

    aerosol wax

    Has anyone actually tried these aerosol spray on wax jobs? Do they actually work? How do they compare to the more typical waxes like nxt 2.0?
