    How do i aim the headlights horizontaly

    On my '13 Sport there is horizontal adjustments. However they are capped from the factory. In order to access the adjuster you need to cut the caps off with a Dremel to something similar. The headlights will need to be removed from the vehicle to remove the caps. After removed they can be...

    new JLT Oil Separator

    I found there is oil in the intake after the throttle body that was covering the MAP sensor. I cleaned the sensor and ordered the JLT separator. When the device is installed and used for a while will the oil in the intake dissipate or is it best to clean it manually?

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I checked with aFe and the EcoBoost CIA does not have a cover available to enclose it. That makes it a hard pass. Too bad...

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    It doesn't look like aFe offers the snap on cover for the Ecoboost version of their CIA. If this correct? If so, there would be no blocking of hot air being drawn from engine compartment.

    Specific lights 13 limited

    I have tried PnP HID kits and also tried PnP LED bulbs in the original halogen projectors. All results were poor. Believe me, save your money and do a proper HID conversion update. The difference is remarkable. Look at The Retrofit Source or LightWerks for the parts. You can do it for less...

    2013 Sport Rear Shock Recommendations

    I noticed I have a leaking rear shock on my Sport so it is time to replace them. All suspension and wheels are stock. Looking for recommendations. Should I replace with stock Motorcraft or aftermarket like KYB, Monroe, Bilstien or other? Thanks

    Longshot... Wanted Amber Pieces from PI Headlight Assy.

    Thanks for the info on the headlight assemblies. However I am not looking for the whole assembly, just the amber refractor piece from inside. I figured someone may know a PD or other agency that has trashed headlights where the pieces can be salvaged
