So in addition to my fuel dilution journey I now have squeaky passenger side lower ball joint. 26K on it but just out of the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. I do have the 8/75 ESP premium extended warranty. I have an appointment next Wednesday to get it looked at. The technician doing the...

That kinda qualifies you as a consultant now?

So I have an update to my saga with fuel dilution. I posted previously that at my last oil change which was with 3700 mile on the oil was at 6.7% . That was all warm weather driving. Then I retested the new oil at 200 miles and it was 4.9% in the fall. Did another test at 500 miles on the new...

I would have asked 😂

Funny, I see more 5g’s at pickleball courts than on the road. 🤔

Yes, they look beefed up too. I’m betting the fracture starts at the bottom mount area

Ok. We may have found something about the cover differences. Here’s my 03/22 build. It has the elongated hole. But not the difference in the lower mounting boss area. Different design?? Exit: my 2022 is the bottom photo. 2020 is the top photo

I had 7.9% fuel dilution on my last sample. The oil only had 500 miles on it. So maybe 200 mile oil changes ? 🤔😉

Seven digit income can be two different things 1000000. Or 10000.00 All depends on the decimal point

Thanks, I’ll start monitoring that

Your highest reading was taken from cold weather oil. Actually 2.5% is pretty good for winter driving. I’d love to see those percentages. Last two oil samples for me were 6.7% ( summer driving) and 7.9% winter driving. Working with dealer/Ford to try to get it figured out. Just wrapping up a...

I ground mine down just like you did yesterday. Just didn’t have time today to get it installed yet.

What dates/time of year were each of these samples taken ?

Maybe one, doesn’t need much. Thanks, I might try that. See how it affects getting the belt on. As it is it doesn’t just flop on the pulley. Would need two different ID washers the same thickness as the upper mounting hole has a pilot sleeve.

So got my bolts and my Motorcraft BT114. Went to install and ran into a snag on my 2022. It mounted up ok to the block. But when I went to untension it to install the belt the was no tension. Where ever I moved the tensioner it stayed and wouldn’t spring back. Thought the tensioner was defective...

You know that 404 Canadian is the same as 303 U.S. Just like that Km thing

I know where they’re at and they can stay there

Update: Major DOH factor 🤦‍♂️. My friend who had let me use his lift texted me today. He was back in the shop and found a new tiny white teflon washer. I had installed a new ujoint and apparently one of the thrust washers that go inside the ujoint cap had fallen out while installing. So I got...

Yes I did
