    Used 17 PIU - Lies and Deceit or just nitpicking?

    Update! I basically went in and did just that @BKennedy, told them flat out that I found the auction site and MY VIN. Left it there, got 4 new-ish tires (older rims unfortunately, no matter since i want the non PI rims soon), they "sent the car off to the body shop" and fixed the hood...

    Used 17 PIU - Lies and Deceit or just nitpicking?

    Yeah I was in a bit of a rush to get a vehicle, and took the bait knowing that I'm handy with cars and have a full frame lift to do work on it. But didn't expect the full front clip to be gone. There was an RCM error when i pulled events from Forscan. Cars still at the shop but trying to decide...

    Used 17 PIU - Lies and Deceit or just nitpicking?

    Dropped it off at the dealer, not Ford unfortunately, and gave them the list. Heres hoping they come through. This dent is what's got me most concerned.

    Used 17 PIU - Lies and Deceit or just nitpicking?

    I fit in that category of a patrol vehicle being the right vehicle, and unfortunately my department (EMS) still has theirs in active duty for a while. But I drove that around for a while and loved the dynamics of it. The price matched with the ease of reoutfitting for EMS, just made sense. If...

    Used 17 PIU - Lies and Deceit or just nitpicking?

    Hey guys, been a while since I've been on the forum since my last 2000 XLT, just got a 2017 PIU w/ 3.5 TT. Long story short i bought the car from a dealer that said the car had no accidents and was a used highway patrol car w/ 93K. On the site I used before purchase (Carguru) it said that it had...

    Brightest NON HID Fog lights

    Dont get me wrong, they are great, if you want to pay $50 for a Counterproductive light. "Xtreme Visions" by Sylvania: not the best "Xtreme Power" by Phillips: ONE of the best Youll like them, when i only cared about Temp i bought the Nokyo Whites and liked them.

    Brightest NON HID Fog lights

    Xtreme Power In response to the original Question, without going into higher wattage or different technologies (HIR, HID etc.) the brightest in Coil Luminance and position, would be the Phillips Xtreme power. On Candlepowerforums.com they are the most referred to bulb when talking about the...

    Treadwright tires anyone?

    Thanks, buit what i mean is look at the surface of this tire, and compare to mine Seems like the molding process was rushed. Also i know now one of the tires are oblong, so im going to bring it to a roadforce balancer and check for uniformity, and inform Treadwright of my...

    Treadwright tires anyone?

    Hey Guys, just bought and installed 31" wardens (BFG AT), look awesome, but im having second thoughts. When i first got the tires i noticed the tread is not a smooth surface, its like some of the rubber either didnt mold completely to the machine or it stuck to the mold.. Then the tires were...

    Melted headlight switch wiring harness... why?

    I recommend just replacing the whole harness and switch that way you are guaranteed to fix the problem.

    New Headlights

    Oh, another story in the line of "bluer is not better" - I have HIDs on my car; I ordered 4100K bulbs but they were out of stock so they originally shipped me a pair of 5000K bulbs. If you've been following all the hype, you know that these are supposed to be even closer to daylight color, and...

    autolumination

    Blue-glass bulbs are never, ever the right choice for optimal safety performance (seeing) from vehicle lamps -- period. It does not matter whether they're branded PIAA and cost $40/bulb or branded Sylvania and cost $40/pair or branded anything else and cost anything else. Blue-tinted glass does...

    resistor problem

    resistor problem

    The 7805 is a +5v regulator and is hard to come by in +3v, the only way to still go with that schem' is to get a 3v regulator at digikey and pay $10 for shipping. Either go with the resistor which might be in Radioshack or use the adjustable voltage regulator which is in most Ratshack's...

    resistor problem

    Try the 1.2v to 32v adjustable voltage regulator sold at radioshack, in line with two resistors and a capacitor it can get you 3v without as much heat or fuss.

    resistor problem

    22 ohm 10w http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002ZP3B4/ref=asc_df_B0002ZP3B4853532?tag=stylefeeder-20&creative=380337&creativeASIN=B0002ZP3B4&linkCode=asn A small resistor (1/4w) will not work with these because too much current is needed to drive the leds.

    are there plug in LEDs?

    I have the 64 led in white and it is roughly equal to a normal bulb, but since this ones red in a red enclosure it should be better/brighter than a normal (white) 20w stock 3157. Bright...
