Also installed Sylvania SilverStar Ultras. Seems to be brighter and further throw than stock.

What is the color temp on those, the bluer ones throw less light. Never saw any silver bullets with any of those.

They are high output halogens, they just burn hotter than standard bulbs

I wanted a navi of that gen but I can't get past that hideous cluster...they'd almost have to give me the car to tolerate it. I feel like they were like like, "Oh, here's some crap from the 70s, let's do it!"

My mistake, I am used to looking at H I D bulbs lately because I had to replace mine.

I can deal will the squared off look but it's so dark in there I can't read the speedo with sunglasses on in the daytime. I can see the needle and if it points to the corner of the square frame that's 40 mph and I think straight up is 60.

Finally got the Torque Converter replaced, was one tough job! It feels so nice to have it locking up. Drives like a new truck, engine braking and lower 6th gear revs returned.

Starter went out yesterday, replaced it this morning. Got the production spec one from the dealer.

I read where it is easier to remove the solenoid first to get the starter out, what do you think?

I didn’t do that but maybe it helps, I just used swivels with my 3/8 drive and a 13 mm box wrench.

Completed internal engine work last week, installed new Ford 3V oil pump, tensioners, arms, and guides. No more startup rattle.

Here is the old style tensioner vs updated style and shown is the blown out unit that caused my concerns.

How many hours did you put into the tensioners, guides and pump? You don't catch a break, do you?

I’d guess 15-20 hours if I threw a random number out since I had to do it twice after a mistake. It was doable just relatively difficult/ time consuming.

I did it in 18 hours with no problems and you had tons of problems plus you took a lot more apart so there is no way you could have done that in 20 hours.

Cleaned up my old oil pump (Now a trophy) and found Ford updated the new one. There are various differences between Fords 2007 and 2020 built 3V pumps when I compared pics. Wonder if it’s just casting differences or if internal changes were made.

Looks like the biggest difference is the new pump has blind/closed holes for the bolts that hold the plate on the other side. It does have a plate of sorts on the opposite side that holds the guts in correct? The blind holes can’t leak around the threads and lose pressure.....Maybe????

Expy is looking *forward* to spring if it will ever come. We’ve had lake effect snow this week in mid May, never in my life! Cloud cover here was pretty sweet.
I had a 2011 Limited and my wife and I loved it. It had all the extras we needed. After it was totaled, we purchased a 2017 Limited. It has the extras we like. We looked at the others but we felt this the one we wanted. Oh, and we got a great deal, it was a demo.
