    +1 here as well.............. Just to put this out here, I had originally bought a MMR Hurricane billet geared GT\GT500 oil pump (for 3V & GT500) to replace mine when I do this timing refresh job but after reading up on this stuff, reading some posters posts on this forum (lwarrior0106 to be...

    TCS inoperable...more than one fuse location?

    Hi Blue03Cobra, What scan tool did you use? FYI..........the ABS module is on the MSCAN side on 05-10 MY S197's, not the HSCAN side (ABS module comms directly to PCM on a dedicated HSCAN bus, not thru the DLC. All PCM side VSS-related DTC's are set by Ford in PCM OS to not report errors off...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    This oil filter adapter housing is part of the original base Ford Modular engine design since the 1st Modulars back in 1991 all the way thru the current engine designs. My read on why the engine oil is routed in this manner from the oil pump thru this housing in close proximity along w\ the...
