I am FINALLY getting around to installing the Morimoto LED fog lights I bought during the last group buy. Been a lot of work on the new homestead! For those that have installed these - please tell me I don't have to remove the bumper. There looks to be some brackets for the bumper in the way. I was looking at the OEM lights, and I'm having a tough time figuring out the best/easiest way to do this. Did any one do an install w/ pics by any chance?

Don't have to remove the bumper. 10 bolts on each side hold the fog light housing in. Takes a little twisting and muscle but not a bad job.

Correct. only takes about 15 mins or so to take all the bolts out and twist the fog bracket out of place.

 

Friendly tip though, when reinstalling the brackets, make sure to hold up your bumper bar to keep the lines and gap straight. I just bolted mine back on and it was off, so I had to loosen all the bolts, push the bumper back up and hold it there and retighten everything.

Yeah, thanks guys. Not all that difficult now that I got in there and did it. Like it was mentioned, 10 or so bolts, and check the bumper alignment prior to tightening everything down. I also found it helpful to remove the two torx screws inside the fender liner to move it out of the way to give a bit more room to wiggle the bracket out of the way.

 

MAN, are these things an improvement over the stock fogs!

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
