    The sulphur smell cannot be fixed, see invoice

    I believe the two "smells", exhaust and sulfur, are the same issue, just worded differently. The matter of the fact is that it's entering the cabin in some way and it shouldn't be. This is my first vehicle which has had this problem but its definitely not the first vehicle which was catalytic...

    The sulphur smell cannot be fixed, see invoice

    I have a new '17 Sport with 415 miles and it had the bad sulfur smell issue when merging today on the freeway. The AC was on and in the recirculation position. It is repeatable under hard acceleration. EDIT: I followed members here and filled a complaint with the NHTSA, #10924538

    Air Intake - From Where?

    Air induction modifications or "ram air" 20161101_181423[1] by ibuytoys posted November 1, 2016 at 6:34 PM So I was looking at the air intake tract on my new '17 Sport. The intake for the airbox is blocked off in a dead space area behind the grille and is also blocked off from the lower...

    Sport EcoBoost 3.5L Tuning

    Finally got my Tracey Lewis monster catch can installed on my new '17 Sport so I feel better about driving it now. Purchased the Ex a month ago and it still has only 180 miles. Looking forward to installing some Livernois tunes and parts in the near future after it gets broken in.

    Running an OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the 3.5L Ecoboost

    Mr. Lewis just returned my call and answered my questions. I was wondering if leaving the OEM line alone and installing the CSS to the airbox would affect the flow on that sensor and trigger a CEL and apparently that does happen in 50% of the installations. Their solution was to remove the...

    CAC/Intercooler Removal & Cleaning

    Thank you!! So pulling from only one turbo pipe is still sufficient? I will be installing the Monster OCC in the drivers side front fenderwell area. It's a bit tighter fit in that area on the '16 & '17 models due to the larger fog light housing.

    2016 Police Interceptor Utility 2nd row headrests

    I was on the verge of getting a new PI but went the other way and got a new '17 Sport instead. Yes the Sport did cost more, but I was able to get a $1750 rebate and 0% financing which wasn't available on the PI.

    Running an OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the 3.5L Ecoboost

    There seems to have been a couple of revisions in regards to the installation of the RX Performance type systems with the three hoses. My new '17 Sport has an EGR feedback sensor in the factory line from the front valve cover to the fresh air piping going to the front turbo. Normally during...

    MiWiAu, how did you tie in the factory line on the front valve cover with the EGR sensor into your OCC system?

    CAC/Intercooler Removal & Cleaning

    My brand new 17 Sport is parked until my Tracys Lewis monster OCC kit arrives. Im trying to keep the system as clean as possible before installing the system. It's a bit frustrating not being able to drive my new car but better off in the long run I think.

    Running an OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the 3.5L Ecoboost

    My thoughts are that the mounting location of the OCC is extremely important as well. The location should be in a cooler area of the vehicle if possible to maximize the condensing effect of the system. The OCC systems which mount in the engine compartment are subject to extremely high...

    Running an OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the 3.5L Ecoboost

    After a bunch of research and getting a callback from the engineer Tracy who designed these systems, I ordered this system for my new '17 Sport. http://tracylewisperformance.com/product/tracy-lewis-monster-catch-can-kit/ I'm planning to install it in the driver's side inner fenderwell area as...

    Adding fog lights to 2016+ Base Explorer?

    Regarding the 2016 model year fog lamp installation. Is there another black trim ring piece that goes around the new fog lamp after removing the original black plastic filler piece?

    Modified 2016 Police Interceptor Utility

    Nice ride!! Which options did you spec to get the factory fog lights and does the PI model have the LED DRL's around the main headlights like the consumer versions?

    I wonder if the 2016 PI will get the new rectangular exhaust tips like the civilian models? The video showed them still with the round tips.

    2015 Interceptor Utility is ordered

    Update: I called the dealer and had him hold off on the special ordered 2015 PI Utility. I figured that since I waited this long already I might as well get the redesigned 2016 PI Utility once the order bank opens up for this model, which it hasn't yet.
