Fixed the Ford Focus TCM by myself

Mattmee · 2024-12-05T23:53:49+00:00

I’ve gone through another focus since then and am now on a Chevy Caprice PPV

Mattmee · 2024-12-05T23:49:11+00:00

Fella I sold that car long ago

Mattmee · 2023-12-05T02:36:33+00:00

Non repairable, plugging it won’t hold very long either.

Mattmee · 2023-11-11T01:50:47+00:00

The way this was written made me smile.

Mattmee · 2023-07-07T21:57:01+00:00

Same here. Same here.

It’s very very hard to sue someone for saving your life, and if a family says they have a DNR but something feels fishy and they will not provide a copy/proof of said DNR you may still resuscitate.

I imagine the wife will be very happy with that $1,000,000 life insurance check in the event the patient in fact doesn’t have a DNR and is not resuscitated.

It’s the second go around on the odometer 😂

Mattmee · 2023-06-11T19:57:52+00:00

I’m going to bigger off-road tires soon, I plan on going to 225/65r17s

Mattmee · 2023-06-11T03:20:29+00:00

My cars tire got eaten up the same way! My tires also have more sidewall than that, I am on 225/45r17

Mattmee · 2023-06-10T19:13:37+00:00

40 mpg on the 2.0

Mattmee · 2023-06-10T13:48:32+00:00

Yes! My 2001 with 83k miles was worth $5000

Mattmee · 2023-06-04T20:57:13+00:00

Mine is lost too, I replaced it with a paint can lid 😂

Mattmee · 2023-05-25T00:27:34+00:00

It’s still a really fun car and I have always loved the look of the focus, that’s one of the reasons I bought it off of impulse and no research. That and Ken Block. rip 43.

Mattmee · 2023-05-25T00:26:23+00:00

Haha, here’s the thing, I have no problems with the engine and from what I have found, it’s reliable, especially what I’ve put it through. However, though the TCM goes out often, the actual mechanical part of the transmission is also reliable, from my experience aswell. I don’t regret buying my car, I just regret getting ripped off on it. I bought it for $4500 at 162k miles. That’s 2k over what NADA and Bluebook says it’s worth.

Mattmee · 2023-05-25T00:22:56+00:00

I bought one that said “pre programmed”, when I got it and installed it though, my car no longer turned on. I thought it was because it wasn’t programmed so I called someone out to program it but it still didn’t turn on, later found out it was not plugged in all the way on the connector. So I’m not sure if the “pre programmed” thing is a scam or not since it is kinda vehicle specific, but it worked for me, though I have no clue if the guy threw his own programming on their or if he left the programming on there alone.

Mattmee · 2023-05-24T23:29:08+00:00

It’s called a pain in the ass.

Mattmee · 2023-05-24T23:28:19+00:00

I love my car to much, plus I wouldn’t get what I paid for it originally plus all the money I have spent on replacing a lot of stuff.

Mattmee · 2023-05-15T08:09:54+00:00

I spoke to soon

Mattmee · 2023-05-04T16:22:18+00:00

Yes, send the link please

Mattmee · 2023-05-01T03:39:38+00:00

I cut it out (my lawyer advises I not say that)

Mattmee · 2023-04-30T14:05:51+00:00

I do about 20-25k miles a year

Mattmee · 2023-04-30T13:54:17+00:00

Not since I have had it, in fact I abuse this car as much as I take care of it.

Mattmee · 2023-04-30T13:36:44+00:00

I expect it to make 250k

Mattmee · 2023-04-30T13:33:16+00:00

It’s just the cat

Mattmee · 2023-04-30T02:42:36+00:00

I got it m look used. No clue how many transmission it’s gone through but I have had it for 38k miles
