    Lucas Oil Complete Fuel Treatment

    I use the fuel and oil as well as transmission products from Lucas in everything. Even my new JD tractor and Echo trimmer. I brought two old Thunderbirds back to life as work cars with the stuff. Got years from both. My JD old tractor is a model 70 built in 1969!

    Aftermarket bumpers?

    I would love to see any other front and rear bumper options that might be possible... for future reference. I will tell you that the rear FORD part bumper cover is now on back order thru most parts dealers. I found one in NY and took a road trip to get it for my 2012 EL Limited that has been it...

    Spark Plug holes with antifreeze in them (leaking t-connector)

    I just replaced my "T" fitting with a brass one from Lowes. Snipped off the plastic shrink clamps at the holes with wire cutters. Then with channel locks I squeezed the internals and cleaned out the hose ends with a shop vac. I did look into them with a light to be sure all the plastic was out...

    Quick Strut fail. To mini lift.

    I Always keep an eye on things and lube bushings as well. This was a total shock.. Ha I see that!... Never hit even a bad pothole. It looked to me that the design of the lower bushing some how went dry and locked up. Then the normal travel just set in metal fatigue that eventually broke. They...

    Quick Strut fail. To mini lift.

    So to start, on the way to work I heard a terrible noise in the front of the truck and it goes down on the passenger side. The botttom of the Monroe quick strut snapped off and luckily was lodged into the lower control arm. These are lifetime warranty and they did come through with replacements...

    Driver Side Front Seat Trim Needs to be Replaced

    Hello, I fixed my panel by adding countersunk screws 2 years ago. I just took my time to locate the steel behind the trim and went thru while I held the part in place. I then tapped the threads. I did this because even with the new part acquired, you will most likely break again anyway. It’s not...

    2014 Expedition Misfired twice

    Plugs. Old plugs cause misfiring issues. That’s all.

But that’s a homemade unit. Works thru electrolytes releasing O and H H separately off an anode ( SS...
