On another topic, a while back we were talking about fuel injectors. I bought the CS ones from ebay and can report they work well so far. I changed the plugs and injectors and it woke up my sleepy 203k mile 5.4l. More power for sure and probably better fuel economy but I haven't had a chance to measure it yet. I replaced the PCV with a Ford unit shortly after I got the truck so I'm confident that it is fine but it still seems like it misses ever so slightly at idle. Just a little vibration that isn't there in my buddies F250 with the same engine. My previous 2000 F150 5.4 did the same thing but it had 334k on it so I just assumed it was tired and didn't worry too much about it. Oh well, it's strong everywhere off idle and more fun than previously so I'll call that a win.

 

Ah ****.... sorry Sonya, and AK. Not drinking... probably been huffing a little too much WD40 today.

By far and away, I've found that the Ford forums are by far the most helpful. The Ranger Station is really well ran, Jim Oaks has done a hell of a job over there. I see links to that site all over the place. One of my Buddy's is an Admin over there too. Mustang forums... are Mustang forums, a "cult following", if-you-will...

Trying to find a DAMN thing about this Yaris is painful. Lots of "I think"ers on there (I think you fix it by ___________________________). No real knowledge. When I did a post regarding my alternator upgrade on my Yaris, I got some PM's asking me why. The research was 100% me on what would work (thanks to Rock Auto and Google).


EDIT: Since I have Admin (and IT too) experience, I sent a PM to the people that own/operate this forum and offered my services. But I never heard so much as a whisper back.

 

I wonder if that has to do with the owners of the site having nothing to do with its operation?

Dang didn't know these could look that good as Prerunners

 

There was a guy on here named Morgan Clark years ago that built a beautiful white crew cab prerunner in the build section when he was just a welder. I follow him on Instagram now and he has turned auto metal work into a thing of beauty.

 

This was his build here.

Extremely talented! More like gifted lol.

That's bad to the bone...

 

He definitely has a hell of a lot of natural talent but I imagine that took years to be able to do what he does. He just made these equal length lambo headers and finished this dash recently.


I want to be half that talented at something. Lol

 

That's a good one for white. I would say AK as well but he's out of parking spots lol.
