I could be mistaken, but I thought I saw in another post that the Rival belly pan (which really looks nice) only has a door to get to the drain plug - you still need to drop the pan to get to the filter. Which seems to defeat the purpose...
If you check the owners manual, these engines have a very unusual feature. They can run with no coolant for an extended amount of time. The engine will automatically alternatively disable the cylinder's and use the current non-functional cylinder to cool the other two by pulling in only air...
I had a 5 liter Mercury Capri back in the 80's (same car as a Mustang back then - Fox body) - it said "CAPRI" on the front of the nose with little chrome letters. I re-arranged them to say "CRAPI".
Can't think of anything fun to do with "SPORT" though...
There was one more issue that I had when I first tried to get Android Auto to work on my car - and this is something easy you can check. I posted this about 6 months ago, but I am pasting it below:
FYI - I had a similar issue a while back - could not find a fix on any of the boards. By accident...
Our other car is a 2020 Outback - it idles at approx 1800 rpm for about 30-45 seconds on startup - I Googled about it and the info I found said that it is for emission reasons to warm the CAT up a bit quicker. You have to be careful putting it in gear if you try to drive off in that window. My...
Mine has them right under the side windows. This will be one of those things in the far future when people are restoring these cars - make sure you don't grind down the dimples as they had them when they were new...
I had issues finding a USB cable that worked reliably - that ended up being my ultimate issue when I was fighting with Android Auto. But that may not be your issue - obviously lots of things in play with this stuff. Sometimes one component gets a software update and it breaks something else. I...
I use Waze a lot - works good most of the time - occasionally crashes. I have an Android and always have to use the cable. As someone else mentioned - check the cable. I know it is un-intuitive, but all USB cables are not created equal - I had to buy a high quality USB cable that was rated for...
The only time I had an issue, I think I found out that you can only remote start it so many times within a 24 hour period (this one I do not remember the details - I use remote start in the winter and have not used it all summer).
And also if you remote start it without driving it a few times...
Mine has done it(rear brakes squeel when I first back up) since it was new last January - I will probably look into buying some ceramic pads for it - and my front brakes are probably the dirtiest pads I have ever had on a car - the front wheels get covered with brake dust every couple weeks and...
I was wondering this exact same thing when I was shopping. Some cars had more front leg room, but less rear and others vise-versa. With a moving front seat, it would seem that where the seat rails are mounted(and how much travel they have) may be the main factor(assuming 2 cars that have the...
The Acast App is going away - Acast is going to continue to work with Podcasters, but are discontinuing their Acast App. Acast is one of the few podcast options that I can find that are supported by Ford Sync3. The only two seemingly still available that work with Ford is iHeartRadio and...
I run my Big Bend in Eco all the time - I average above 30mpg - mix of highway and urban city (I have about a 70 mile round trip commute). I do think the Eco mainly makes the throttle tip-off a lot less aggressive - sort of keeps you honest. Plus it seems to hold higher gears more often (lower...
I just installed a Belinous size M5 Steering wheel cover from Amazon - about 15 dollars. Had pretty good reviews. It was a lot of work - 1.5 to 2 rather tedious hours - but I think it came out pretty well. Looks and smells pretty nice actually. I may try to tuck the bottom part into trim like...
