    Buzzing or Zipping Sound Under Light Acceleration

    Thanks. I’m fairly convinced that I have the shudder. You should try friction modifier before you resort to replacing the converter.

    Is anyone actually running ICON?

    Stick with the Billet upper control arms. The tubular control arms don’t have the same range of adjustments. I learned the hard way and had to replace the steering rack.

    Buzzing or Zipping Sound Under Light Acceleration

    I’m getting an occasional kind of a zip or buzzing sound with a momentary loss of power when driving at a moderate speed and light acceleration. It has done this very intermittently for a few years but noticed it occurring more often lately. It seems to be coming from somewhere behind me. Also...

    ReadyLift AND Bilstein Combined

    I'm just replacing the ICON tubular upper control arm with the billet style. That's really the better way to go due to the Billet model's extra adjustments as compare to the tubular which is fixed. I'm pretty sure my issues had more to do with bad/inconsistent front end alignment. Correct...

    ReadyLift AND Bilstein Combined

    I have this combo. Unfortunately I just found my steering rack was damaged and needs to be replaced. This is due to the installer not setting the Bilsteins at their stock height and as a result it has a 4" lift. This is also with the ICON upper control arms installed. You definitely will...

    What Else Should be Replaced While timing Cover is Off

    He does have a video on gen 2 3.5. I could make the assumption the recommendations would be the same as the gen1

    What Else Should be Replaced While timing Cover is Off

    I'm not sure what they include with the reman. I'm thinking I would get one from Ford, and not from one of the third party suppliers. I'll try to find out what's included.

    What Else Should be Replaced While timing Cover is Off

    155K, The dealership gave me a quote of $3200-$3500 for just fixing the timing chain cover oil leak. Hopefully I could get a better price at an independent. How much less expensive is the so called "$6000 tuneup" (this will most likely be >$6) compared to getting a reman engine from Ford...

    What Else Should be Replaced While timing Cover is Off

    I will be removing the timing cover on my 2015 to fix an oil leak. What other work should be completed since the cover is off anyway? I believe it would include the timing chain, phasers, water pump and oil pump. Is this correct or am I missing anything? I'm not having any issues...

    2015 Vacuum Pump Change Procedure

    I had the dealership finally change it out for $450 labor. I supplied the part. Local independent mechanic had quoted me $1400, which he said included replacing the passenger side valve cover. Not sure why the dealership was cheaper if removing the valve cover is the specified Ford...

    Lifted Exp with ICONs getting intermittent noise

    This turned out to be that one of the control arms was lose. Strange no mechanic could figure it out. Have to give credit to Big O Tires :)

    Best tire rotation pattern?

    What is the correct tire rotation pattern for my 2015 Exp? This question came up when I started to feel cupping after a front <> back cross over rotation. I didn't notice any cupping prior to that. The mechanic suggested that it's because they haven't been getting rotated correctly (not...
