    Rattling like a loose shock

    You had these same noises BEFORE the lift ? Sounds like it may not be the lift.... check other areas of your truck... body mounts/ support arms/ fender mounts/ etc... get a bud or four to ride with you and try to isolate which side and whether front or back.... maybe even go so far as...

    EPA sticker/ VS exhaust mods

    Then you are probably talking about the SCT XCal.... they have almost complete control of most of the Engine and tranny functions.... BUT, you can't just buy the tuner, you have to pick the right place to get it that knows how to program it properly.... Sine it IS CUSTOM tuning... so do...

    EPA sticker/ VS exhaust mods

    If we are talking PARTICULARLY about the exhaust system... then the EPA has nothing to do with exhaust other than the Cat.... Now if you dump the exhaust out before the cat :) :) :) maybe so... As far as tuners, NONE are epa certified I'll bet... and ALL will create warranty issues if you...

    AUTO ac controls

    Silly boy... don't you know Ford knows better than you what you need ? :) In three ex's I've had I find new ways that they surprise me :) When you punch the other types of buttons it is manual, and I think the auto only comes out of the dash points IIRC... My current Ex now has to be...

    Exhaust and Intake

    Welcome fellow metroplexer !!!! after having upgraded my 03 Ex with all the "have to haves" I traded it in on an 05 Ex and haven't really decided what I wanna do to it yet... but a few insights I can give you from my limited experience: The stock intake is GOOD, and with the ZooDad mod...

    Steering wheel

    MMMM - Dang, I'm interested... but even though they are right down the street from me (Texus speaking!) still 4 or 5 days without a steering wheel may make my truck a bit hard to drive :eek:

    Trailer wire harness

    I have some old connectors from my 02 and 03...(somewhere!) so let me know what it looks like.... can't imagine it changed that much... or that one of those generic kits couldn't be adapted to what you need...

    Question on Rebuilding NO LA.

    My sister in Baton Rouge is saying it is a nightmare in that city as well.... the lack of planning was evident in the results... understand that this is beyond belief, but has been predicted for decades !!! (I am originally from Baton Rouge and heard it all my life !) Unfortunatly...

    Question on Rebuilding NO LA.

    While I feel for the depressed families and spent my holiday today gathering clothing, etc.. to donate tomorrow at the shelter... You said the operative word.... Should WE ..... Given that I had to send the IRS about $8000 over and above the 20%+ they took out each paycheck... and the...

    Cruse control buttons?

    Thread stealing warning :) Do you guys respond to auto accidents ? Have you had to respond to an accident with a Hybrid yet ? I wonder about the 330Volt batteries in those... not sure of the amperage, but bet it's high enough to HURT bad if it is used to power a car ...

    Cruse control buttons?

    I too might take the overkill route :) If you've never seen one of those fire off - they CAN kill you if you are turned the wrong way !!!! Not sure the risk is worth it for the do it yourselfer - IMHO :)

    What are you doing to Conserve Energy?

    Same here.... even though I HAD to go to the 1/8th mile to measure my new tuner, I've cut down tremendously on the number of trips... and I didn't drive a LOT before since I work from home... :)

    Springs and shocks

    on my 03 4x4 X I had the ranchos set on the softest setting - 1 cuz I'm such a softie :) My logic - set the shocks soft and the tires hard for the best ride and best fuelage (mpg) :)

    Turbo Timer

    Exactly my reasoning for not needing a turbo timer... in the real world you've already let it cool down most of the time... but, of course, to each his own... it's your truck and I, unlike some, would never dictate what you should do to your truck !!! That is until I make all the notes...
