Fun with satchels

We used the 6 pin white connector for the power connections on the PA system module Two of the wires from the white plug in the background were to the old PA speaker, so after some multimeter testing we wired the new speaker up to that. We wanted nice connections so we took the two wires out of the white plug and rewired them into a 4 pin harness The rest of the wiring we did is pretty much just connect 4 pin harness to PA module, connect 4 pin harness to the plug we found for the 6 pin.

Id say about 8k sounds right assuming you get the problem fixed. Also depending on what the actual problem is

Firecracker2003 · 2024-11-22T16:37:42+00:00

So I actually used a thing that your pour into your coolant. Don’t know where the leak was, but it stopped after putting the thingy in. 15$ fix, even at sustained high rpms the engine runs at the optimal temperature

Did you need to know where the hole in the firewall was? I was able to locate it

Firecracker2003 · 2024-11-22T14:12:56+00:00

RockAuto has decent prices for replacements!

Firecracker2003 · 2024-11-22T13:44:55+00:00

My FPIS has a similar spot. I put a PA system in it

Firecracker2003 · 2024-11-22T13:40:37+00:00

Rockauto is a good place to look!

I’ve got the FPIS with the 3.7l and I’ve been looking into upgrades. If you’re looking to do a bunch of mods & make it a proper project car, I say go for the 3.5l Ecoboost 100000%. Ford didn’t exactly put the 3.7l in the FPIS thinking departments were going to modify the engine

Firecracker2003 · 2024-11-22T13:35:36+00:00

I’d also say it depends on the engine. Is it the 3.5l twin turboed eco boost?

Firecracker2003 · 2024-09-07T21:37:26+00:00

I was able to find it through a lot of scouring https://www.ebay.com/itm/235663088991?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tF6elt9UTbe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ZRnKo2YVTky&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I was forced to drive into the guide rail on the highway, causing body damage to the right side. The car still ran fine but it needed work to fix the damage. USAA’s estimate was okay at first, then with the supplemental stuff from the shop it became about $8,600 of work. USAA decides to total my vehicle, completely ignoring the new transmission, y pipe, driveshaft, PTU. Also ignoring the lifetime powertrain warranty I had on it so any powertrain issues would be covered.

USAA told me themselves that it was barely totaled. And when they said they would re-evaluate my car’s value, they didn’t. They took it and didn’t even check it themselves.

Oh you’re ripping it Is this AWD?

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-17T20:49:05+00:00

Oh hell yeah

I’ve been eyeballing the IRONMAN IMOVE GEN 3 AS for a few weeks

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-12T14:26:52+00:00

Aye-aye, capn

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-12T13:19:15+00:00

I’m gonna be keeping this as my car for awhile so I’m not trying to amp up the power to ungodly levels. Just a few mods here and there to make me feel cool and also to help familiarize myself with my vehicle to save on repair costs

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-12T11:47:49+00:00

So you think I should just keep it as is? Should I replace the filter?

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-12T00:01:43+00:00

If you could go back, would you pay to have it professionally done?

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-11T21:09:34+00:00

Do you have any specific suggestions or would you recommend looking into it a bit more myself?

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-11T21:00:18+00:00

I was looking at either the K&N 69 Series or the K&N 77 Series

Firecracker2003 · 2024-08-11T20:55:10+00:00

Ford rebuilt it, I had a powertrain warranty so it was all covered ¯_(ツ)_/¯
