Anyone converted turn signal and brake lights to LED bulbs? I just add Sylvania 3157Rs to the back for turn signal replacement to try them out. I still have incandescent up front. They work but the relay is still sped up indicating a bad bulb. Which I can deal with at the moment as long as the signals blink which they do. Ive heard talk of resistors or possibly changing out a blinker relay. Anyone here done any of this with success?

Can coil packs be bench tested with a multi meter?

This is what is confusing Enigma-2. But if that chart is correct is does state it should be Yellow.

Thanks that lools like great info but its telling me Yellow.... or is it gold. Basically it makes it a little more confusing to me. Did I not read correctly that Ford came out and said the yellow/gold was not to be used and that green should be used as replacement? This is a low mileage dry engine that I am having swapped out. Supposedly out of a 2007 Edge. So no oil, no coolant.

I am getting mixed signals as I saw Enigma-2 post a link that shows the VC5. Then I see Fishx65 posts a link that shows them ordering the VC10. Is this a certain year thing with the different coolants?? I need to figure this out as I need to drop this off at my mechanics tomorrow morning to wrap up this night mare. I just called the dealer where I bought the VC5 and they are telling the VC10 variant is used for diesels. So I dont know.

What I bought is not diluted though as you have posted in that link. This is what I bought https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-VC-5-Concentrated-Antifreeze/dp/B000NUB132

Great

Yeah I guess I can get cash for them right? I had one stolen off of our 2000 Toyota 4 Runner a few years back.

I went to my local Ford Dealer and pick up some green concentrate. What they had in Green was VC-5.... so I bought 2 gallons. $17.00 a gallon. Its Green.... I hope its the right stuff. I find the price very odd for a dealership because Amazon wants 30,00 a gallon for the same thing.

Im having a conversation with my mechanic who is doing the engine swap on my 07 3.5 and he was going to go with Ford recommended coolant which I believe he stated was orange. Should I tell him to go wit green instead?

Well Im not gonna say within budget but Im gonna do it. What is the deal with the cheap ones on line compared to the speedy ones? Ive seen them from around 120.00 to plus 700.00.

So I need thoughts on Catalytic Converter Replacement. Im having the engine replaced and my guy is recommending replacing both converters that come right off the exhaust manifolds. He states that they are basically clogged. Ive seen them and yes they look dirty inside and you can barely be seen through. A pinhole almost. At least that what it looks like. But I am not a certified mechanic so I cant say for sure. Ill will say I have a good feeling about this guy and I dont think hes trying to screw me. Hes been recommended from a friend as well, He said he would throw the old ones back on but hes got me worried now. Id like to just have him do it because they are RIGHT THERE and can be installed very easily. Hes claiming it is quite a job to do if the engine and sub frame are back in the Edge Hes quoting 450.00 a piece for the converters and obviously free labor because he is going to have to install them anyway. 2007 3.5. Old engine had 120k on it Anyways just looking for thoughts. Ive looked on line and have found them cheaper but he is not really hip to me bringing him parts to install which I totally understand. Thanks in advance Curt

Hey Im going through this right now. Curious where you got your motor. I found one with 26k for 1500.00 through First Class Engines. I cant do the install though so Im having that done at a shop. Trying to do this without breaking the bank, Its adding up though.

So after some research we are talking 2 sensors right? TSS and OSS? Simple R&R with the engine out I think is what you are saying.
