Got mine ordered, thanks!

Wish my AAP had this sale going. Went to check and all regular priced.

Same here, and you don’t stink as bad afterwards. 10yrs at 100:1 and equipment is still going strong. Was at my parents and helped out with the yard. He uses Red Armor and dang I smelled like that the rest of the day.

Yea, I wish the water pump was a different setup. If so, this would be an all around greet engine. I keep an eye on the coolant especially since it’s 11 yrs old. Also, i stay in top of the coolant changes with only Motorcraft coolant. Will that make a difference changing it often, who know but...

Recent sample from my 2012 Explorer. Vehicle had 85000 not 35000 as stated in sample. Vehicle sees about 70/30 hwy/city. I’ve used the Schaeffer 9000 for the last 3 OCIs, prior to that it was a mixture of M1, Magnatec, and QSUD before I bought it. I’ve been using the Motorcraft oil filter and...

Did this today, and man did it worjk! It shifts great!

Thanks for posting. Friend just put this in their GLC300.

Is there a way to do this without the Tech 1?

Fluid has been changed, done in December. The old fluid looked good surprisingly. Also very little debris on the magnet

Thanks! I’m going to work on it tomorrow

All the cables run to the ASR box, I’ll have to get a service manual to see how to adjust it

After checking. The car has the 4l60E and does not have the TV cable

I purchased an AC Delco Accumulator and replaced the whole thing. On the old one there was only one spring inside and the it was cracked off at the bottom. You could hear it inside when you shook the accumulator. Unfortunately I purchased the Corvette Servo. The one I took out wasn’t the...

My 93 Fleetwood hangs in first till about 19mph then shifts somewhat harsh. If you are accelerating and slightly lift off the gas around 15 mph it will smoothly shift. I’ve replaced the ac***ulator which had a broken spring, servo, TPS , and IAC. It’s gotten better but still there. The other...

Originally Posted by JAG I'm surprised by the amount of varnish given the oils and OCI used. My question that likely can't be answered is which oil(s) contributed to the varnish. My guess is Royal Purple. The reason I stopped using the RP was I happened to pull the oil cap and noticed a bunch...

Originally Posted by 92saturnsl2 Why am I only counting 5 cam lobes?

Originally Posted by double vanos Seeing this just confirms my suspicions that the OTC oils at Wally World can hold their own (or best ) these higher priced boutique oils. We've seen too many pictures of spotless engines (and excellent UOAs too) that show Mobil 1, Valvoline, Motorcraft, Castrol...

Drivers side VC gasket was leading and drilling right on the exhaust and made for a smelly ride. So today I pulled the VC and replaced the gasket. Where it was leaking the gasket was extremely brittle. Wasn't a bad job, about 1.5 hours all said and done. As far as cleanliness the engine was...
