    Question Boost gauge

    I ran mine with the copper as well. I also run it in my notch back mustang. For the boost gauge connections i just used some super glue and black silicone to ensure a leak free seal.

    Work

    Oh yeah that would be a huge fine or silver bracelets here as well! I have overweight permits but not that high. When I pulled that one I knew none of the weigh stations were open but I also double checked on the way down to deliver. Don't take chances like that very often, usually stay below...

    took the plunge today

    Went out today and bought the wife a new Ford Flex today. It was actually her choice even though it was the one I wanted. Her first choice was a Honda Pilot but as soon as she drove it she said "nope" She drove the flex and fell in love. We bought the fully loaded Flex Limited. Has the...

    first problem in 6 years

    Mechanic called me back today and informed me its the fuel pump, its getting fuel to the engine fuel filter but just barely. Fuel pressure barely registers when he tested it. He said the fuel pump is about $300 and there is also an upgrade wiring harness that he will install with it along...

    TV Problem

    I guess my first question would have to be " why the heck were you turning it off by hand and not with the remote?" With that out of the way, I agree, probably better off buying a new one.

    first problem in 6 years

    Update!! I made sure the fuel system wasn't air bound today by opening the bleeder / pressure gauge spot today. I am getting fuel and when I try to start it I can smell fuel and see the white smoke from the exhaust. I did get it to run (barely) and it finally threw a code P2617. The ABS...
