Securing Our Future

[scramblr]

A little helping hand is always welcome...We took off the CAI and then the plenum to put the stock CMVCs back in before going to the dealership. And as I was typing this, Ford called and told me they just ordered a new alternator and it will be replaced under warranty. Only thing I didn't take off is the pulleys, but my guess is they didn't even notice them. Woohooo....

Amazing what 10 nm feels like to a 5 year old on the second pic, huh?

Those are totally cool pics! My 4yr old daughter likes to help out too...

Pretty sweet! Though, when I took mine to get my alternator fixed, I kept everything on there. It actually turned out pretty well, the guy who worked on my car had an 06 him self and we ended up chatting the whole time. He even commented on my pulleys when he pulled the alternator.

So does she get the car in about 13 years or so?

That's cool you have a dealership like that. My understanding is German dealerships are comparable to the worst American dealerships in reference to honoring warranty work when the car has been modded. I got that info from a Mustang enthusiast that works for Ford here in Germany. So I wasn't going to take the chance.

In reference to the car, thinking her and her 18 month old brother are going to have to fight for it. I've already got him sucking on wrenches. LOL...

Nice pics. It's always fun to involve the youngsters. I need to promote my son from "flashlite-holder" to "tool-putter-awayer".

Um, from the pic it looks like your son knows where the tool goes....

 

[scramblr]

Yeah, no shit, looks like he's steering in the right direction. LOL...

I had an interesting thing happen with tools. A few months ago my daughter was helping me install SS brake lines while playing with the 184 piece Craftsman tool box. She decided to build a neighborhood with all the pieces. Took me half an hour to get it all back together.

That's a classic! Did you take a pic?

 

[scramblr]

Nah, it was starting to freaking rain and I still had the drivers side SS line to do so I put it all in a pile and covered it until it stopped raining. Did get a good laugh though...at least she did anyway. LOL...

Awesome pics! My 5 year old daughter loves to help daddy with the stang as well!!

 

[scramblr]

I think I'll give the wife a heart attack and have my daughter get under the car to help me take out the shifter in the AM. LOL...

Then again, I may not need to take it out if some of you with aftermarket shifters take a look at the below thread. Then she can just help me put the DS back on.

That's funny!

I just had my alternater replaced by the dealer last week.Had to change back to the stock air box and remove the tune.I didn't have any problem from them.They did note that my car had after market exhaust,and a check engine light on lol!

Did they check the code? With a bad alternator, you might get P0340/P0344/P0345...

 

[scramblr]

That's what I'm getting. I had the TSB in my jacket pocket while the guy was running the code. Took him 20 freaking minutes to come back with the TSB and explain the problem to me. LOL...I should have just handed it to him when I got there, but didn't want to piss them off.

Just for shits & giggles, put some chocolate syrup on each of her fingers. As she starts to lick it off, walk her back into the house and tell the wife "We're done changing the oil on the Mustang, Dear". Make sure you get video.
