    Best replacement for OEM speakers...

    problem is, he knows nothing about installing car audio gear....so his entry price just jumped $1,000 in todays money...you can build a nice system and replace it all, installing yourself for $2,500ish.....$3,500 if you have to pay a shop. If you are not willing to spend $2,500-$3,500 you are...

    Best replacement for OEM speakers...

    Don't waste your time or money. The problem is not the speakers. Replacing them will not fix your problem. There is no answer you WANT to hear. Main issue is the amp in the Sony / B&O systems is TRASH. 12 watts per channel max. The speakers sound like crap because the amp starts clipping at...

    Stereo Bass fading

    All good. Thought we were dealing with B&O examples. In your situation. LC2i is your only choice unless you replace ford radio The ZEN A2B would have been the holy grail of interface back in my days when I worked in the industry. Getting a digital unchanged signal from the factory headinit...

    Stereo Bass fading

    not a fan of the LC2i. It is still hampered by the bass roll of. And it has to fake the sound and restore it. It is a band aid. The only correct way to do it is with the ZEN A2B.

    been talked about too death..... in order to save warranty claims for blown speakers......as you turn the volume up say past 15, the bass gets turned down. contrary to what people think.....it is not too much power that blows speakers...but too little power. the factory SONY / B&O amp is only...

    yeah...plugs out makes it easier to spin the engine and valves as needed and not fight compression. all the pictures and videos I have seen have them removed.

    Service advisor was cool...owned up to his mistake as he handed it written down, but didn't put it on the WO. He said labor was only 1.25 hrs for plugs, so he ate it. Got the truck back. 36 mile drive home was all good. Inspection of engine bay looks good. Just need to monitor it. One...

    3 years, 11 months, and 46,132 miles I finally get Cam Phaser problem

    no.... They have to remove the spark plugs to do the cam phasers.....when they take those out....I just want them to put new ones back in @ 48,ooo miles. I should not have to pay labor to put new ones in vs putting the old ones back in.

    I don't know if I should be pissed or what....but I made my appointment 4 full weeks out. dropped my truck off 1 day before my appointment......and it has now sat untouched for 7 days at the dealer. GPS shows it at the back of their lot, and my ford app shows no start since last Wednesday. I...

    read the fine print...if you don't get the software update, you don't get the cam phaser fix for free.

    ok mall / street rats.....what millage are you without doing the shock rebuild?

    Because that is how car forums work. We all take our **** out and measure then laugh at the other guy. It makes the days go by.

    ok mall / street rats.....what millage are you without doing the shock rebuild?

    It’s a shock. When it goes bad. I think I’ll replace it. And save some cash. Why replace it at 50k if it will go to 75k

    ok mall / street rats.....what millage are you without doing the shock rebuild?

    will hit 50k miles this winter. my truck is a street rat, been off road 2 or 3x with nothing too extreme. No leaks in my shocks and the ride is still great. Do I just keep with the factory build until I notice a change in ride or visual shock leakage?

    Anyone had these CEL code P00C6 Low Fuel Pressure Rail

    it goes in next Thursday for the cam phaser (6 week appointment wait). The CEL went off after 5 normal starts. Not sure if I should tell them about it, or let them do the cam phasers and see if they discover it when they put it back together.
