    LED Headlight Bulbs (Low & High beams)?

    But its really not, its actually just putting light where it doesn't belong leading you to believe its brighter. Much better off with a quality HID in the projector

    LED Headlight Bulbs (Low & High beams)?

    Quality HID bulbs for the low beam in the projector. Diode dynamic SL1 led for the high beam. Low beam Hid because they still maintain a good cutoff in the halogen projector but put much more light on the road High beam SL1 because the led chips are positioned exactly like the original...

    LED Headlight Bulbs (Low & High beams)?

    I wouldn't recommend led lighting for headlights. They don't perform in a reflector as they should and even though you have a whiter light it won't give you any better vision down the road(some will claim otherwise). You didn't specify what year you have but if you have a 15-17 the diode...

    Compressor Slugging

    I said oil but refrigerant migrates to the coldest place. On a hot day the interior temp where the evap lives gets at least 20-30° hotter than ambient thus leaving the compressor I a good place for migration. So while I said oil it very well could be refrigerant also Either way the deslugger...

    Power running boards malfunction

    Don't knock it till you've tried what actually works! Its a poor design and theres no going back so rather than complaining about it try the method/products that were suggested and report back or you could just move on. Good luck with whatever you decide

    Power running boards malfunction

    I'm in the North East and understand what you go through with salt, sand and snow but I'm curious what your using to lube? A motorcycle chain lube is the best product for the job and will hold up to all the elements. Clean with WD40 first to remove dirt and displace the moisture then hit it with...

    Any opinions on US made/owned tires for my needs? '14 4WD.

    I like the Cooper AT/W. Its an all terrain tire but also has winter characteristics. So much better than the AT3's I had. Fyi I'm also from mass and see very similar conditions as you

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    Typically if the AC is running on any car the radiator fan will run full speed or close to it. Also keep in mind the high ambient temp so I would expect them to run full speed

    Can't turn power liftgate on or off in Message Center

    I had the same issue and this worked. I believe this resets the liftgate module. I started with the liftgate open Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds, then reconnect it. Manually close and latch the liftgate. Power open the Liftgate with the button on the dash or remote.

    Compressor Slugging

    Thats why so much of the AC equipment I work on comes with factory crank case heaters. Slugging is a bad thing and keeping the compressor warm will keep the liquid out. Glad to see that is working for ya and in interested to see how it goes if you get the deslugger in

    Exterior mods

    Theres really nothing to solve, Projectors have a cutoff to keep the light out of oncoming traffic's eyes. Reflector headlights also have a cutoff but just isn't as defined as a projector. Put some quality HID bulbs in and don't look back

    'Fart' noise when accelerating

    My work truck made a noise like that after the windshield was replaced. Turns out they missed a spot while sealing it up and at the right speed it would make a clown horn noise.

    Special tools for ReadyLift lift kit

    Slip a pry bar through the control arm then into the spring. Pry the control arm down while you have the jack holding the lower arm up. You should also loosen the upper control arm bolts because the bushings resting place will be different amd you don't wanna kill the bushing early. Tighten them...

    Compressor Slugging

    If the compressor is still performing as it should I wouldn't touch it. Its possible internal damage has been done but it will always show a decrease in performance so if it works as it should then leave it be. Now if you get close to the warranty ending on the compressor I personally would swap...

    Compressor Slugging

    Check this out J. Ive never noticed a slugging issue on my 07 so I suspect something is up like maybe too much oil in your lines causing your issue. So I would have a look at this. http://www.4s.com/en/marketing/psp-solutions/the-deslugger/ These are like $45 on Amazon/eBay so I would give it...

    Compressor Slugging

    The accumulator should be boiling off the liquid going back to the compressor but doesn't do much when the system isn't running. Slugging is a very common thing in GM cars and Ford may have some programming to deal with how the compressor starts on a fresh startup. I'll do some research for ya...

    Compressor Slugging

    Refrigerant migration is a tough thing to deal with when the compressor is mounted at the bottom of the engine. Refrigerant migrates to the coldest place and when the interior reaches a high it moves to the compressor. The only thing I could recommend is to warm the engine up before starting the ac.

    '08 Spark Plug Part Number

    Heres a picture to show what I'm talking about. Again, I'm not sure what changes were made but the 515 is old news now. I do see the angled piece on the newer plug runs a little deeper but that's about it
