Turns out the driveshaft snapped because the differential failed. Now a much more costly repair. At the dealer now going over this... Mitch

If you have this driveshaft, I will take immediately. Thank you Mitch

Something to think about - not that this will change how anyone does anything. I'm most familiar with my 96 4.6 TBird. Looking at a datalog of the idle air integrator, it consistently shows a peak at around 120 degrees - regardless of the initial start-up temp. This is where there is maximum...

One of the temp sensors in the crossover pipe is used for cyl head temp. This sensor is used ONLY to control the fail safe cooling feature. Mitch

Antiseize changes the torque requirement to reach a given preload by much more than 10% - had this discussion with the founder of ARP many years ago... Mitch

Well, let me ask you, what's wrong with the factory knock retard? I doubt you would be able to get the J&S to perform nearly as well as the factory setup. Mitch

Hello, looking for the computer, otherwise known as the PCM. Located under the driver's side dash. Please forward the four letter code - will probably be BMDO and what you want for this. Also looking for stock radiator fan. Thanks Mitch

I am not obligated to prove ****. Everyone knows you are a thief. The true enthusiasts and professionals in this sport are hurt by criminals like you. You are lucky those running SCT are bigger shitheads than you Zack. They could have and should have bankrupt you long ago. The shitheads will...

Who's software or calibration work have you stolen lately Zack? You are known throughout the industry as a thief. SCT is stupid. They should go after you. Mitch

Well, I could be wrong, but I think some of your OBDII tests have been shut off - meaning your PCM is not even trying to run them. OBDII checks have been getting more rigid and this now throws a flag, meaning you fail. Mitch

And I know more than you. I'm not asking you. Back to the question: how do you know what Lido puts into a tune?

Explain how you know that.

Hello Ed, I sent an email to you. Mitch

Any codes? Mitch

In most cases, you can get a vehicle to pass even with the rear HEGOs turned off. Mitch

The best course of action is to determine what monitors do not set. You can check the OBDII state either with a Ford scan tool or with an XCal2 (probaly an XCal3 as well). Ask the Ford tech what monitors will not set. Once you know this, post back here. Mitch

Make sure the compressor shaft seal is not leaking. The only other thing to do is to pressurize the system with R134a and see if you can detect a leak with an electronic leak detector. Stick the sniffer in the dash discharge ports. If the evaporator is leaking, you should be able to detect this...

For the money, I replaced the factory pads with R4-S Porterfield pads. http://porterfield-brakes.com/manufacturers/shop/Porterfield+Brakes.html I have used these on several cars and I am very pleased. Mitch

Are the torque specs you are looking at rated with the threads dry or with lubricant? Generally, using any kind of friction modifier will reduce the torque requirement. As I recall from published articles and from data supplied by ARP and from other sources, using 30 wt oil reduces the torque...

Darrin at BC Automotive would be a great choice. BCA is a legitimate business, is responsible, trustworthy and honest, knows how to setup a transmission, has ties to those at the highest level who designed this trans and know how to calibrate your car for engine and trans performance and...
