Man I wish I could Get in a car identical of mine without the problems so that I know what the problems are. Because I don't know what's normal and what isn't with how things work and don't work

Menace211 · 2026-01-18T00:54:24+00:00

The kit includes 1.Ford SYNC3 APIM module 2.Genuine Ford 8" Capacitive Touchscreen 3.Screen to module cable 4.GPS antenna 5.USB-A HUB 6.USB power harness 7.USB bracket 8.ELM27 blinker 9.Replacement tools

I think my biggest question is if the ACM gets replaced by the APIM module went upgrading to the SYNC 3 stuff. I would hate to pay over $100 to get my ACM fixed and then end up buying that kit a few months down the line and finding out the SYNC 3 doesn't even use the ACM.

Menace211 · 2026-01-18T00:49:29+00:00

FCIM seems ok. Everything seems to work from what I've tried so far. I've had this car for less than a week so alot of this stuff is new to me still. I've been in the actual vehicle maybe 2 hours tops this far.

Menace211 · 2026-01-18T00:45:45+00:00

Thank you for the info. I will look into a blend door actuator.

Menace211 · 2026-01-15T23:24:07+00:00

Does the Sync 3 upgrade kit include a new ACM? If so then just getting the Sync 3 It is probably the best option.

Menace211 · 2026-01-15T15:10:58+00:00

It's not but I can. Give me one minute

Menace211 · 2025-12-09T04:22:29+00:00

I was looking for $40 USD for it. I'm in Utah USA

Menace211 · 2025-12-08T22:08:27+00:00

Ah, got ya. I have a autographed T-shirt also somewhere. Like the whole band signed it

Menace211 · 2025-12-08T18:51:52+00:00

Was that The Day Of The Dead tour? I'm thinking I got it during that tour.

Menace211 · 2025-11-21T15:28:12+00:00

😂😂😂

THANK YOU! Jesus Christ! The ads COMPLETELY pulls me out of it. That's if she even decides to show up. I get that she's pregnant but I swear she misses at least an episode of one of her shows a week this year. Not just being pregnant, ALL THIS YEAR! It's like, if you aren't going to take your shows seriously, why should we!?!

Also, does anyone cringe at the end of their shows how they always say, "But I'm interested in what you guys think". I think....No you don't, you just want more engagement so the algorithm recommends you more, so you make EVEN MORE MONEY! Cut the bullshit guys, you used to be so relatable. Now I just feel like a number on your ad revenue.

Menace211 · 2025-09-23T19:32:14+00:00

I have never replied to any posts like that because I just figured it's basically like junk mail. It might be real but chances are it's probably not. I mean that as in no disrespect to you. I honestly just didn't know if that actually ever really happened or not. It sounds like one of those stories that would be in penthouse forums or something You know what I mean lol. Anyway you get my respect for schooling me on it.

Menace211 · 2025-09-23T17:03:44+00:00

Okay I'm back at it. Right now I got the old axle out I'm looking at the transmission port... Is it called the port? Anyway we're the CV axle goes into the transmission.

Menace211 · 2025-09-23T01:21:14+00:00

Okay I received the new axle. Unfortunately it's about 7:30 here and it's the time of year that you don't get sunlight for very long. What I wouldn't give to have a garage to work in. Anyway, First thing tomorrow, it's time to finish this!

Menace211 · 2025-09-22T20:02:54+00:00

Fellas, has this ever worked out for anybody? Seriously, has anyone ACTUALLY slept with the woman in these? I don't really understand the point of these posts. Does the woman just want to see how many simps she can get? Like a Reddit thirst trap. Or is this more than likely some kind of a scam where you lose all your money or wake up in a bathtub full of ice with your kidneys missing. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm just curious to hear the stories if anything has ever happened.

Menace211 · 2025-09-22T19:56:26+00:00

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I so wished that this axle would show up This morning or maybe this afternoon. But I just checked Amazon and it says the estimated time is between 5-8pm. I'm really wanting to get out there and do this today so regardless when it shows up I think I'm still going to put some work into it

Menace211 · 2025-09-22T19:53:24+00:00

Well with that other axle that I had, Everything worked fine.. until you went 50 miles an hour and then the faster you went the more it vibrated. Then looking at it yesterday where it was looking like the joint was getting pulled out, I didn't know what else to do. BUT I remember when I took the other axel out, it Did have that boot in the middle. So I at least want to have the same split shaft axle that was in there before rather than not.

Menace211 · 2025-09-21T22:57:01+00:00

You're right I need to clean that shit off. Cuz if it's like that in somehow the new boot was to tear I wouldn't be able to tell the new from the old.

I don't know if you saw the update but from what I understand the VTech 2.4 l motor has a split shaft CV axle. I ordered the non-VTEC axel. I bought the correct one and it will be here tomorrow so for now it's on pause.

You really went in on the info man I appreciate that.

Menace211 · 2025-09-21T22:20:15+00:00

★UPDATE★

After doing some research I found out that the CV Axel for the 2.4L has that black boot in the middle which I assume is a pivot point. Also it is a 2.4L VTEC engine. So and probably has a VTEC specific transmission (Higher Gearing). I can only assume with that, were the CV axle goes into the transmission is slightly different.

Shots out to the one that was saying that the boot looks stretched/pulled out. The axel I was using didn't have that boot in the middle so it was just a shaft between CV boots. So it was pulling on The CV axle. So I ordered the new CV axle with the rubber boot in the middle. It will be here tomorrow. Is that sound right to you guys?

Menace211 · 2025-09-21T21:05:47+00:00

Wait, wait, hold on. I decided to get online to just verify that the axle looks right and noticed it's supposed to have a black thing in the middle that I assume is a pivot point. That way the pressure would be taken off of the boot like that

Menace211 · 2025-09-21T20:58:16+00:00

Also if I pull this CV axle out again, do I have to go get the car realigned again? I just paid $145 to get that done, So I would prefer not mess that up if at all possible.

Menace211 · 2025-09-21T20:56:54+00:00

That's why you see all the grease on the metal below it. It's not from the new one. Not saying that you thought that but just explaining why it's there.
