You have to get all the foam material off. You will not be able to remove the factory glue, nor is it necessary. I found that sharp wood chisels work the best at removing that junk. My replacements are three years old now and still looking good.

Those are gas tank protectors. I have an 05. One of mine came loose during a HPDE track day, and I got black flagged. Took rubber part off by hand and made next session. I have an aftermarket chin spoiler. Any road debris that might damage tank will be hit by spoiler first. I’m in no hurry to...

I’ve had an E-Force in my 05 since 2017. Did you do the install? What tune are you running? What size injectors did you install? NGK O2 sensors TEND to work better on our cars then Bosch. Do you have a Boost-a-Pump? The problem with the CL-OL points towards O2 sensors, or tune. You also might...

It’s not a siphon. It draws fuel by a Venturi on top of the fuel pump tubing.

For some reason the oil filter gasket tends to stick to the 4.6 block for a long time. My buddy had a 04 Bullit. His son changed the oil and the gasket stuck. He did not catch it soon enough and toasted the block.

I use a leaf blower to dry the outside of all the cars I wash. Reduces water spots and saves time.

It’s been 6 years, so my old brain is a little fuzzy on details. IIRC, I used a “add a fuse” adapter in the SJB that turns on and off with the key. This operates a relay mounted in front of the fuse box under the hood. The relay gets power for the halos directly off the battery. This way, the...

I haven’t had the stock tune to my car since 2006. Since that time, I’ve added a supercharger, camshafts, headers, and E85. Each required a new tune and multiple adjustments from Lito. Somewhere in the 25-30 different downloads range. Right now, I have 2, E85 and 1, 93 octane tunes. Along with a...

I had a tune from Brenspeed after I bought camshafts from them. The car ran so bad, and I got ZERO help from them. I was going to sell the car. Then I found Lito. Car runs great now. He even tuned it for E85. Runs smooth as a DD and is a 11 second drag car. I needed adjustments for the...

Play around and wiggle with the wires and connections under the seats and see if the light goes off. My 05 airbag light would come on occasionally. After checking the connection under the seats, everything , the wires and connections looked normal. Finally, I cut the wires and spliced in new...

Avoid Brenspeed like it was the plague, because it is. I spent close to $10K with Brenspeed and my car ran so bad with their tune, I was planning on replacing it. They offered no help. Then I found Lito. Now, it runs great. You only need the AFR gauge with Lito if you have forced induction...

Due to a snowstorm moving in sooner than predicted, and a doctors appointment lasting almost 2 hours longer than scheduled. I had to drive my supercharged 05 with Nitto G2 summer tires through 2” of heavy wet snow. I also had traction control turned off in the tune. It took me almost an hour to...

I have two cars that sit a lot. My 05 and a 93 Fleetwood. Using a battery tender on both while the cars sits, results in a battery lasting 2-3 years. Just had to change both. Co-incidentally, the battery in my 17 Ram died two days after replacing the ones above. I then proactively replaced the...

The DR cams work great with boost. The tune that BS supplies sucks. I had to let the car idle for over 10 minutes to warmup before I could move it without it dying. Get it tuned by Lito. BS tune, Lito tune,

I’m over 500RWHP with E85 and 11# boost. I use a single Walbro 400L with the wiring upgrade, BAP, and a larger -8AN fuel line. The last datalog showed no problems with fuel delivery.

I have those motor mounts. Just be aware that they do increase NVH. Not a lot, but it is noticeable for the first couple of days until you get used to it.

I used to put the front tires in a set of Rhino Ramps, and then jack up rear end and put jack stands under jacking points to work underneath car. Rhino ramps have a tendency to slide when driving a car on them. One side moved a little bit, without me noticing, and the front tire was not seated...

I replaced all the stepper motors about 10 years ago in my 05. I had never worked a circuit board before. Not a difficult job.

I don’t have a AEM, I have an Interceptor gauge with analog input for A/F. I have found that I cannot run the gauge and LiveLink together at the same time. The wires from the O2 sensor have to be completely separated. LiveLink will not work if anything else is spliced into it. I have to unplug...

IDK

You can get a new tube in there but it’s a pain. I worked from the bottom and my wife fed it in from the top. The hardest part is getting it completely seated.

There are no automotive miracles in a bottle. Period.

I have the DRs. The tune that comes with them from Brenspeed absolutely sucks. Here is the difference between the Brenspeed tune, and one from Lito. Post #18. Judge for yourself. https://www.s197forum.com/threads/finished-installing-my-brenspeed-paxton-throwback-tune-question.138893/page-2

Yes, I passed with 6/7 monitors ready. At least in my state.

Follow this procedure EXACTLY. Sometimes, it even takes a couple of times with a heat soak overnight. https://drivenowautomotive.com/how-do-you-complete-a-ford-drive-cycle/ Just two weeks ago, it took me three times of doing the drive cycle over two days and the last monitor didn’t come on...
