    Pinion seal leak...how far can i drive it?

    He probably damaged the sealing surface when he removed the old seal. if that's the case if it's a minor scratch just file it down if it's serious You will have to fill it with some metal epoxy and file that down flat. or replace the housing. The other possibility is that the flange is...

    99 Gt..Problem w/ 02 Sensors

    The sensor things are called 02 simulators. It's really odd to have multiple 02's go bad at once. If this problem comes back post the codes and try to run live data on it.. What we would need to see the most is long term fuel trims, maf V and baro.. The PCM really only...

    Specific questions about swapping a 2003 4.6 into my 96 gt

    rocky if your going to swap a whole PI motor in I would get a 2002-2005 explorer motor.. Thats what I am doing with my car, the reason is because it's a aluminum block so you save quite a bit of weight off the front. You can get them from bone yards pretty cheap

    Am I Getting Hosed by the Dealership?

    Only thing I see wrong is the part about your aftermarket stereo causing the fuel gauge not to work? WTF?? that makes no sense The rest of the charges sound normal and without seeing the car myself I don't know what it did or did not need.. I don't see bill padding or anything that jumps...

    The threads are torn out of the head.. you are going to have to install a quality thread insert made for this problem on the modular engines. You can find the kit just about anywhere to fix it

    02 explorer motor in a gt?

    You could do that.. but the explorer motor is good to swap into a gt because of the weight savings and the aluminum block could also be sleeved for big bore.

    chipped mustang key from Wallmart $50

    Yeah you can program a normal pats key yourself with two keys already programmed. Another time you need two keys that are different is if your car ever needs a processor.. I tell my customers to bring in all keys they have for the car if I am installing a processor since we have had a...

    chipped mustang key from Wallmart $50

    We don't need to use this system. we have IDS and it programs normal pats keys.. :shrug: Yeah i see your point.. I doubt any cars will get stolen from this since it's just cloning a existing key As long as the key is reliable like a normal pats key it should not be a problem...

    chipped mustang key from Wallmart $50

    Ok could you explain exactly how this was done.. You took your key they cut it and then you went out to the car and without inserting two programmed keys first was able to start it??? The inserting two programmed keys is part of the anti theft of the pats system.. They intended this...

    Trick Flow heads and 4.6 or 5.4 forged build?

    The only way a 5.4 is worth it is in a 4v configuration. the reason for this is the 4v heads are not effected as much by the limited bore size all modulars suffer from. some people have tried 5.4 2v builds and found it was not worth it and they would have been better off with a 4.6 sleeved...

    Trick Flow heads and 4.6 or 5.4 forged build?

    we were talking about 2v 5.4's a 4v 5.4 is a TOTALLY different animal.. :rolleyes: Hell just the fact that it's a 4V it will make a lot more power than he is making now You show me where in his post he said he was going to go 5.4 4V The way I see his post he was thinking of TFS heads on...

    Trick Flow heads and 4.6 or 5.4 forged build?

    Forget the 5.4 its a waste of time it will make less power than a 4.6 I would go big bore aluminum block high compression
