After 10 years, I swapped S Type Stainless Works mufflers for the Stainless Works Turbo mufflers. Much less aggressive sound, somewhat disappointed. If the S type mufflers don’t sell, I may just swap back.

Replace passenger side CV axle, installed new front pads/new brake fluid, next up is coolant flush

Gen 1’s rock!

Zactly my deal as well. Next up is the front diff, just worried I won’t be able to remove the cover using the pathway described above. Might need some liquid encouragement first.....

Just like what was already stated, wife drives the X5, I drive the Raptor, been that way for 10 years. Every time I drive her X5, I miss the Raptor.

Yup, very good. They are on the east coast like me so I get parts fast.

Been lifting my 2010 since new using a 3 ton floor jack and a 6” thick wood block....jack up on frame rail leaving enough room to place 6 ton jack stand on frame rail but forward of jack, repeat on other side, move to rear diff, jack up high enough to get rear tires up while keeping front tires...

Couldn’t agree more! Still sorry to hear about your ridiculous troubles with SDHQ, shouldn’t happen to anyone, live and learn I guess.

One more off topic question....that looks like a Stainless Works exhaust, does it rub/touch your spare tire at all? Mine does...

You really want as much room as possible to remove the broken bolts. I would remove motor mount bolts, jack up the motor and try going through the wheelwell after removing the liner. If that doesn’t work, then you may have to pull the motor.

Anyone?

What is the average price of a set of 4 Gen 1 beadlocks. Found a set but price may be too high. Thanks for the feedback!

Would’ve been perfect as you’re in NJ too but will wait for a set, thanks

Pulled the dash apart to replace the temperature blend door actuator. Passenger side was on full heat, the wife was not a fan........... Did the same thing...... passenger side wasn’t getting any heat at all. Decided to leave out that PITA back screw on the actuator too

Rock Auto had the best prices for new...you could also try Forged or Texas Motorworks for a rebuilt set

SE or not, show me what you have. Thanks

New shocks, shineeeeee!

Me too thx!

Figured it out yesterday...Few days ago I unplugged the transmission electrical connector in order to repair the leaky trans bulkhead sleeve. On the end of the trans connector plug, there are 12 female receptacles that correspond to the 12 male trans pins. Somehow 1 of those female receptacles...

Love my Gen 1, it’s SVT, and they aren’t making them anymore.

You are right on the money! It was throwing code PO713, transmission fluid temperature open circuit. Because I also performed the leaking tranny bulkhead repair, I had to unplug the tranny electrical connector (see TSB 11-3-25). Upon closer inspection of the end of tranny electrical...

Problem resolved without dropping the pan/exhaust! Examined the transmission electrical connector plug and found 1 of the 16 female receptacles had somehow gotten pushed in, therefore was not making contact with the corresponding male transmission pin. Was able to push on the wire where it...

OMG, forgot about that, duh...so got the code PO713, which is a trans fluid temp high circuit fault. So I did replace the transmission bulkhead sleeve because the old one was leaking. Guessing I may not have seated it in far enough, which then means the female electrical connector won’t reach...

Ive been running the SCT 89 tune for years. So to clarify, when I reconnect battery if wrench comes back, are you saying I may be able to get rid of wrench by uninstalling the tune, then reinstalling the tune? If so, I will try that, anything to avoid going to a dealer. I was planning to go...
