It may just be low, my explorer had a shift flare after doing a pan drop/filter change. Checked the level, added more until it steadily streamed out, problem solved. Also, I can't remember the exact size but a fitting out of the weatherhead chest at your local parts store will do the trick, no need for the special tool, under $3 if I recall.
If you don't already know, never punch it it to make the transmission downshift with these 5R's-either manually downshift it and then get on it or use just enough throttle to get it to shift, then punch it. Many of these have been turned to a bucket of bolts from a WOT downshift.
Wasnt aware of that Ill be sure to manually downshift....
Maybe headers arent the ticket, the more I read the more I see they gain little hp untill making boost. We all like to say we are going to get a power adder in the future but realistically wont be in my budget anytime soon.
I was going to do headers/offroad H/ and a catback that I havnt decided on yet. Then get brenspeed tune
Next year planned on 3.73 gears and cams
Id probably benefit more from just an offroad midpipe and tune at the moment. Money is a little tight, didnt get to claim 2 of my kids on taxes so.....
I need a short list for mods to do on a budget.
Was going to order sct x4 from brenspeed next fri but maybe should wait another week or so and throw in an O-R h pipe, would that make the most gains on a tight budget right now?
I got trans filter, adapter, oil gun , and 6 qrts royal purple on the way. Going to order coils and plugs soon and change out fuel filter for good measure.....
Will only have about a grand to play with in the short term so thinking offroad midpipe and tune. I have the roush CAI but dont know if its any good or not. I thinks its ok for no tune so dont know if it will give me much gains with a tune?
My axle back looks kind of janky like a garage hack job, my cat back is just solid pipe no resonators no mufflers. Not sure if its aftermarket or a hackjob. Any opinions?
Also...I dont want exhaust so loud that all neighbors hate me. If I get OR h pipe im sure with no mufflers it will be too loud, I like the sound it has now (cats and no muffs) what muffs would keep the nice low throaty growl but quiet it down a bit?
I have thrush 2 chamber welded mufflers on one of my vics with gutted cats and sounds great but even thats a little too loud when just cruising
