    Well dang! It happened.

    From what I'm getting out of what they have said is, it was never decommissioned and honestly it wasnt, but not their job in my eyes, it's up to the buyer to make a auction vehicle legal after the purchase has completed. so during the recall my wife brought it in for(toe links) they did the...

    Well dang! It happened.

    I think it's best the wife and I take the lesson with us and never return to Stealerships. I want to push to have to work for checking wires ect to another shop, have bother country pay them for the time, give me my stuff back and never talk to me again.

    Well dang! It happened.

    So kind of, they have admitted they did something wrong and are willing to settle outside of court. If I go to court I need the lawyer to prove they did it all, he just put together info for it. Regardless at the moment I would still have to pay him up to the point and paperwork he has done if I...

    Well dang! It happened.

    Yep you're 100% right, I came on here to make a long drawn out fairy tale adventure over the internet to a bunch of people I have never met about my car and the stuff being removed. It had nothing to do with the fact of coming on here to ask about standard procedure if anyone knew or actual...

    Well dang! It happened.

    I would keep pushing but it will cost money with the lawyer, we did a contingency basis, but even he says there no point spending a dollar going after a penny. If I could run all the legality myself i would never stop. Not a Technical Jake break no, but it used to hold tight and use the motor...

    PIU Towing

    I installed factory Hitch, I pull a 20ft pontoon. Tandem axle trailer. Sometimes hates hill, but a tuner can help with that, this will be first year with a custom tow tune since we cannot get a Tow button or mode.

    Well dang! It happened.

    I'm back with an Update, I had gotten a lawyer, put everything together he did the paper work ect. Dealership has offered to settle with partial funds and physical replacment of most of it, my window guards, cage, rear utility box ect and to restore my original tune, in efforts to restore the...

    Well dang! It happened.

    Filed police report, the dealership had no answer to what they did, I'm having a tough time proving what I had and what they took but thank God I do cherish what I have and love taking pictures of all my cars, got a boat this year and the car was in the background with windows down so I got to...

    Towing tunes.

    No problems, I prefer the longest post possible for honesty. I prefer the thoughts out there for whether a gas engine egr will reduce towing ability or not. During constant driving upon a highway. So you're beliefs are decreased exhaust temp and increase mileage, but will it hold the gear as...

    Well dang! It happened.

    Is there a place to find restrictions and the normal steps taken when decommissioning a cop car? I have been feeling that way. I dont know if they took them out or cut my wires but none of the lights are working either.

    Well dang! It happened.

    They took my ballistic door panels to start, I'm guessing they had their way with some of my suspension, rides like a limp noodle now. I havent done a full dig yet, but I'm guessing my Glass has probably been swapped, and the rear seat window guards have been taken as well. It was almost a...

    Towing tunes.

    Well I know small performance gains for driving fast are made, but for towing I question if it would actually be beneficial but heat would be the downside. From what I have read, I think it would improve towing, it would cause the engine to burn and have a more powerful low RPM instead of...

    Towing tunes.

    I thought the EGR is inactive at WOT, and active during regular conditions such as maintaining a speed. I thought the motor/computer Opens up the valve to allow inert air into intake, and reduced the fuel to lean to make up for that inert air while maintaining constant speeds. At which lowers...

    Towing tunes.

    So I know it's illegal and I'm not saying im doing it, but in a theoretical sense, would a gas engine towing performance increase with an EGR turned off? Or would I cause problems with heating things up too much? Again just in theory. I couldnt find a single resource with any info on gas...

    Well dang! It happened.

    So I was gone for a bit, the wife got a recall letter for my ol' 2013 interceptor, thought she was going to do me a favor and took it in... Dealership took all my fun away, re-tuned, changed out my heavy duty equipment and Neutered it. Runs like a Limp noodle now... Anyone know what the...

    Pre-load for front upper control arms?? Sagging front driver side

    Anyone ever not preload the bushing for the front control arms and have a specific corner sag? ???? Could a rear upper control arm ballpoint, possibly bushings too (with a lot of play) give it enough excessive play to cause the front end to sag??? ???? I know I need to replace rear toe links...

    Anyone done the pcm updates from the dealership for the 2002-2005 explorers? Increases to preformance, mileage, ect? Solve any problems?

    Vent selection confusion feet = defrost??

    I was betting it might be the switch itself, it doesn't change during accelerations, it literally just turn on the defrost too when you select feet. I might just go get one and replace it to try.
