Thanks. Yes, fully expect to have the old manifold cleaned up before installing. Thanks

Thanks Phil. Have a shop I trust who is going to do the work. He’s aware of how ugly it can get. He fully expects to have to lift the engine up 3-5” for clearance. Then once the exhaust manifold is off, get it cleaned up and get the broken studs out, put in new ‘stronger’ studs and done...

Thanks Bob. That was exactly what it was. New arm installed and all quiet. 👍🏻

Ok will check. Thanks

On my 09 Adrenalin, I’m getting a constant squeaking when driving at any speed over rough pavement. It stops when we get rain. Only from passenger side. I suspect it’s the top of the shock tower/spring housing. Sprayed it down with WD40 and it appears to silence it. Anyone run into...

Hi everyone. I have an 09 with 4.6. Sounds like a stud (or studs) is broken on passenger exhaust manifold. For anyone that has done their exhaust manifold studs, what cost might I be looking at? Did you replace only broken stud or all studs? Thanks

I ended up getting Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza. They are great and hardly wearing at all.

Hi Robert. I have a cold air intake I just took off my 09 ST 4.6. Let me know if you are interested. I’m located in Winnipeg Canada. How much were you thinking of spending?

Hi everyone. I have a K&N 63-2573 Performance Intake Kit for sale. It was installed on my 2009 Explorer Sport Trac 4.6 V8. I am including 2 filters (so one is always clean) and a cleaning oil kit. It’s been on my truck since 2018 so it’s used. But always kept clean. Shipping would be...

Todd, what size are the letters you used?

I need to either fix or replace leather drivers seat cover (bottom only) for my 09 Trac. Has anyone done this? Can you still get leather replacement covers? And, is the seat heater attached to the cover? I am hopeful I can just replace the leather cover. Thanks

Hi everyone, I have an 09 Adrenaline with the 4.6. I only have 73,000 kilometres on her. Has anyone had any issues with their Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid sticking? Keeps the engine retarded after coming to a stop. Then when you get going again it seems to go back to normal after...

Update to the replacement tires. Had Hankook Ventus S1Noble 2 tires installed. After 2 years and about 26,000 km’s they are done. One tire at 2/32, the other 3 at 3/32. After pushing both Ford and Hankook for over 5 months Hankook are issuing a full refund under warranty. Tires were...

I ended up getting quote from the closest dealer. They would not cover repair and the cost would be about $450 plus tax. Local highly rated tranny shop cost $310 all in. They did a complete diagnostic, fluid analysis, replaced the leaking electrical plug, flushed tranny and replaced filter...
