Alright folks, I've officially joined the 4.6 crew! PICS!

Are those head lights stock, keep them clean, after market don't fit light stockers, get your self a couple of catch cans to keep that intake completely clean, blow-by F##ks up your engine and the emmisions. Change to full synthetic, the oil will remove itself from the engine quicker, but protects better and longer. How is the upkeep, like ball joints, suspension bushings and all that jazz, you know typical used car stuff.
 
the 03-04 3650 should have a .62 od, versus the t45 .67 so the 3650 will cruise at a lower rpm..

Hmmm, sounds like thats whats going on with my car. Thanks for the explanation.

Dont know if the headlights are stock, though i would assume so. The only visible mod i know of so far is the stupid CAI. What do you mean by catch cans to keep the intake clean? So far the car seems to have been very well maintained. Tracks straight, rides smooth, runs and drives just fine. But i havent exactly busted out the micrometer to check balljoint play lol.


To everyone else: Any of you fools ever done the trip-meter diagnostics thing on your cars? I did it on my '03 and found that the coolant temp sensor seems to level out at about 180 deg F (post conversion from C). How accurate is that readout? Should i just go get a 190/192/195/whatever the stock tstat is? I subscribe to the "this isnt the 60s anymore, dont try to fool the ecu" theory, as well as the "the engine is running richer if its not at 192, so youre just wasting fuel economy" theory.

Thanks y'all! :flag:
