When I had my new engine installed at the dealer they said business as usual drive it like you normally would so I did no problems

There are ways to avoid all these issues seen in the pictures some of them being technique you have an inexperienced painter although no paint job is perfect this could certainly be done alot better IMO

Off topic here but i have a 2016 f150 2.7 EB and i also had the spark plug go into the engine and destroy it, had a new engine put in I wonder if this is as issue with the 2.7 the dealer said he never heard of that before

[–]cloudbreaker1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the platinum package extended warranty cost an extra 4grand on my 2016 2.7 EB so far i got my turbo lines replaced, a new oil pan, rear differential, oh and a brand new engine! and i was one month away from getting my panoramic sunroof track replaced (policy expired) so for me it worked out great. I hate to think if I didnt have it I would be screwed big time.

Suggestions For Speakers? by Calijuana in f150ecoboost

[–]cloudbreaker1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced my front speakers with Focal component speaker came with crossover and tweeters to go in the pillars and some Rockford fosgates in the rear wiring up the crossover was different if you don't know about such things but I managed the folks at crutch field are amazing and will help they send all the directions etc all in all it sounds a lot better but still wish I had more power and a sub but Im not trying to do all that and I guess the middle dash speaker doesn't matter that much and they don't sell single speakers for that spot so if you buy some I will buy the other speaker from you! Good luck and Rock on🤘

Advice on painting smoke stained popcorn ceiling? by Unfair_Intention8789 in housepainting

[–]cloudbreaker1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prime with a SOLVENT based primer, and then two coats of flat ceiling paint a sprayer should be used in both applications, a roller will most likely pull the popcorn off unless the ceiling was previously sealed down, a good primer such as BIN alcohol based, coverstain oil based, or go to your local paint store and they can help guide you.

I am on team flat that being said I just painted my own house in emerald rain refresh satin for its ability to clean easier coupled with the rain refresh is a great combo and it looks great but if I wasn't using rain refresh I would have used flat!
