    when did Ford stop using front isolators?

    I installed Pypes catted X-pipe SFM26E on Sunday. I noticed that I didn't have any front isolators for the prongs on the X-pipe. I don't think I've ever had them. I have isolators at the rear that hold up the back exhaust pipe. From...

    Double Gasketed Oil Filter, Now Getting P0345/P0349 Codes

    I usually put a large trash bag over the intake area and wash the motor with Simple Green and a couple brushes. Hose it off. You can wash off the intake area, but you need compressed air to dry it fast before the water messes with your electrical circuits.

    soft brake pedal

    I installed braided stainless steel lines a couple years ago. Love 'em. Be careful about the banjo bolt torque in the rear.

    Good Lord...

    Yeah. The steering rack bolts are a pain the neck. I did this about 18mo ago. https://www.s197forum.com/threads/time-for-new-tires-control-arms.140845/

    Clean your filthy stereo!

    My Shaker 500 had been acting up on me - not reading discs, ejecting discs, etc. I tried a Memorex cleaning CD, and the problem is fixed. Only took a couple minutes.

    Engine Whine

    Nice. The smooth idler went bad on mine in 2013 or so and I had to replace it. Same as you it sounded as if I had a blower or gear drive cams.

    one heck of a battery

    On Tues I thought my car turned over maybe a little slower than usual. On Wed, it was slow enough and I heard a clicking noise that I thought I needed a fix. I called AutoZone to see if there battery/alternator tester was working, and they said it was, so I drove there. I checked my logbook...

    What a PITA!

    Mine are about an inch or two upstream of the flange. I have BBK ceramic shorties. I had thought that the sensor would be easier to removed due to the ceramic, but that took some serious torque to loosen.

    What a PITA!

    I had a P0153 that I thought might have been due to humidity and low temps. Cleared the code, but it came back in dryer weather. Yesterday I replaced the upstream left side sensor with an NTK 22060 sensor. What a pain in the assets! I thought it would be easy b/c I had no memory of it from...

    Missing on cylinder 1

    I had this sort of problem about 18mo ago. I was able to verify that the ignition was working and the injector was working. Mechanic smarter than I figured out it was a bad computer.

    Jack stands header install

    I used jackstands on the car. I cut two 14" or so chunks of 2x8 and screwed them together to make a nominal 4x8. I used that between the jack and oil pan front flange. If you use anything other than 6-point sockets on those fasteners, your momma raised some damn fools.

    Oh, BTW - don't use anything but 6-point sockets on your exhaust manifold/pipe bolts. 12-point sockets will round them off like crazy.

    Building inspection...why bother?

    I think home inspections are worthless. The doofus who inspected our home failed to note massive leaks from the master bathroom. I think it's just a pointless drill that benefits realtors and banks. I wouldn't rely on one.

    I installed BBK ceramic coated shorties, and they came with a CARB EO # and sticker. The downside is that you don't get a lot of power out of them compared to long tubes. I do like that the ceramic coating reduces temps under the hood.

    Control Arms

    I installed the GT500 LCA in fall 22, and I'm very happy with them. I'm only writing to note that when you install the rear flag bolts, "To ease installation, the position of the lower control arm nut and flag bolt can be reversed to allow installation of the nut from underneath the vehicle."...

    Trouble with steering rack

    Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but the hex on the bottom is welded to the k-member. It won't move. The bolts must be installed and removed from the top. Maybe try tightening the bolts on top of the rack. I had to use a ratcheting box end wrench. Again, I apologize if I'm being stupid.
