Got a 2011 5.0 F150 and my catalytic converter is wore out and throwing codes. I seen plenty of people debating online whether you can remove a cat's without it damaging your engine and the legality of it and all but can you just ignore a worn out cat? Is there any way get the check engine light turned off for that specific code so that I am still alerted when anything else goes wrong? Money's tight and this ain't a cheap fix. submitted by /u/Ok-Read6352 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

How do I tell if I have the original motor. I just bought a 2013 ford taurus and I have a feeling the motor had been swapped. I'm not sure if this number is important but the cars vin is 1fahp2e80dg128041. submitted by /u/Global-Disk-5885 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Had an oil change done at Valvoline on 4/14/24 and they put a different plug in, they must have known it wouldn't fit because they put three additional gaskets behind it to make sure it didn't leak. It did leak unfortunately, and unbeknownst to me, and by Tuesday this week I had a check engine light (cam timing I believe) and was hearing a bad grinding and knocking sound which I eventually narrowed down to the engine. Valvoline did take responsibility once the Ford Dealership had it. The tech stated he hadn't seen any metal shavings and the engine was performing, to his knowledge, as it shoul ..read more

Considering buying a focus estate 1.5 ecoblue st line and it has 60k miles on it, was just wondering if this is alot for an engine like that or if it’s actually not bad at all? submitted by /u/stokecity282 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I need an evap core and temp sensor for my 2010 f150 king ranch. just had the AC compressor replaced. My mechanic at the ford dealership quoted $550 for both parts and $600 labor. I know they need to pull the dash. I was looking at parts geek and they have the evap core for less than $100 and the temp sensor for $60. This isn't my daily driver but I'm wondering if not getting the parts thru the mechanic will cause me issues? He doesn't mind installing whatever parts I buy but his words were "you usually dont get the same performance you would with factory. Probably would save $100 or so but w ..read more

I’ve seen a few 2016-2017 with minor accident damage and 90k miles for $13-14k. I’ve also seen a few 2021-2022 45-60k miles for $21-25k. From what I can tell there’s not much difference if any at all in the body styles and the insides look very similar. I used to drive a 2017 Mustang v6 and loved it. I like the body style, so I guess I’m just looking for advice. Should I save the extra $$ and go with a 2016-17 or get a newer model with 50k less miles? The car will only be really used driving to work, I may barely put 9-10k miles/year on it. Are the 2021-2022 models really worth that extra $8 ..read more

I’m buying a 2016 f150. The screen on it is black. We tried to reset it by holding the power and track forward buttons. Doing this causes the Ford logo to pop up for a few seconds, but then nothing loads. The screen just goes black again. The backup camera works intermittently. I backed up 3 times during the test drive and the backup camera works 2/3. Initially the battery was dead on the lot and they had to recharge it to get the truck running, so I don’t think disconnecting the battery and resetting it that way would work. All my research only says to either reset it with the power/track fo ..read more
