I agree! If your really had 3 bad TB's go play mega millions!!! :D You need a better dealer. If you do have aftermarket tune you may want to check that. Most of the causes associated with that code is wiring issue such as short
You could just bout a SCT SF3 and you can compensate for your CAI, exhaust yourself, even CMCV deletes if you decide sown the road. I don't think many legit tune shops will turn off o2's anymore as per federal mandate.
I have the CHE unit and it's worth every penny. As for helping to shift...for some reasons many issues with the trans in the 08's. Get the CHE either way just for the way it makes the car feel over bumps and road ruts.
I think it will be very reliable. It says it runs low boost and 91 octane gas so I can see it spitting out connecting rods unless somebody start messing with the tune.
Re: NYM & Syosset Ford show
Looks like it's going to be a good turn out. I already have some local members from Mercury Marauder.net and working on some members from some Thunderbird clubs.
When you say the engine bay...........Yea you can drop a 5.0L in and I'm pretty sure the bellhousing pattern on the transmission will work but why? you're looking at $8K plus ehxaust, plus labor. $8 will get you a Whipple H.O. charger installed and 550HP vs 412HP. I like those numbers better. :D
I just installed the C.H.E. K-member brace with engine torque limiters on a customer car yesterday and I must say HOLY COW!!! You don't realize how much drive train slop there is in these cars until you install one of these. The vehicle is a lot more rigid and solid feeling over bumps and turns...
