Also replacing the power steering fluid with a quality synthetic will help since synthetic holds up to heat better.

I'm terrible with P/S maintenance. 

 

I changed the original OE fluid in my '86 Grand Marquis in 2015, lol! It's still on the original P/S pump and steering box, too! Only reason it got changed was due to a blown high pressure line. :D

I need to get rid of the one for my 2002.  I gave the old intake to the new owner of my Camaro.  The stock intake off my 2019 is currently in the garage attic.

Installed a console "safe" and an under the rear seat "safe." Sadly as cheap and weak as the console is having a locked box in it won't do much to deter a determined s***head, but it's something. Rear box weighs about 72lbs and again is more secure than nothing. More secure than the console at least. I've been wanting something more secure for road trips or when I need something locked up. Locker Down really needs more and better pictures on their website though. 20190823_171047.jpg20190823_171119.jpg20190823_171107.jpg20190822_173238.jpg20190822_173315.jpg

Went to the range this morning for some good stress relief and took a friend and his son.  First time driving since adding the rear seat box. Lid on the under seat box was rattling.  I hear enough rattles/noises so I stuck some extra foam from a case I had and no more rattle.  I'll either glue those pieces down or get some foam tape or something.  I need to go get the stupid tires road forced again, shake is getting worse again, hasn't even been 4,000 miles.  Wonder how many times I'll have to get this done on the current set before I can get Michelin to warranty them.

So those of us would like to know, how many miles on your engine and what oil/oil change frequency?

Every 3k miles after warranty. Prior to that dealer did all the oil changes.

160k miles on engine. AFM has been off since 100k due to miss fires caused by sticking lifter.

 

Never received the oil deflector on the oil pan and had no oil consumption issues.

 

Currently at a stand still as I got the wrong head bolts.

Received the correct head bolts from Summit today. Made some progress and should have complete tomorrow.

100,000 mile services.

 

I've replaced ONLY a pinion seal outside normal wear and tear items to date. She's had three recalls done. Still on factory tires and brakes.

Got around to putting fatty on a scale since there's one right down the road from my buddy. Had to go there to pick up my brake set and replacement rotors. Even running the rears at 50PSI I'm well above the inflation minimum. Chart only goes down to 35PSI and they'd still be above the weight listed per tire at current axle load. Not that I'd go that low anyway. Since their app didn't work that's w/o me in fatty though. Also found a nice little nope rope in my driveway when I got home. 20190921_194029.jpg20190921_212557.jpg20190921_212834.jpg

    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
