Installing sound system today. Maybe a bit overkill with removing everything but it makes it a lot easier

Brutal amount of work.

Installed sync 3 to go along with the new system. A crazy amount of wires all hooked up just to test before final installation and routing everything where it should go to make sure everything works.
Downside to it all is adding about 100 to 150lbs of weight, maybe even more.
I'm gonna attempt to make the sub quick release to get it out to track days it's at least 70lbs less.

FYI routing speaker wire through the doors is a major pain in the ass... Never again.

All about 80% done but so far it sounds amazing.

Has anyone updated to sync 3? I'm having an issue with ambient lighting it doesn't work... It's supposedly came preprogrammed it does show my VIN under the settings but it won't work. Everything else works.

Any tips ?

Hawkeye helped me out as Z mentioned. That said ambient lighting won't work with your lights off. I thought mine was broken as well after I upgraded, but I had moved my headlight switch to the off position during the install and that kept the ambient lighting from working. It seemed so obvious afterwards I felt ridiculous. Maybe not the issue for you but thought it was worth mentioning.

Doing a trans drain and fill. I did one probably 10k ago, but figure since I only got out 4.5 quarts the first time around it wouldn't hurt to do it again after how many times it's been down the strip and through the summer in some hot hot hot temps. Looks a lil bit dark but still has a red tinge to it so it's probably still in good shape, but I got 12 quarts of mercon LV motorcraft fluid for free so can't hurt to do it!

SHOdded · November 03, 2018, 02:03:37 PM

For free? I need that kind of hookup, LOL.

Jordan · November 03, 2018, 03:03:35 PM

Ha! Yeah my parts guy is one of my good friends so I can get the hook up on most Ford parts/fluids

Jordan · November 03, 2018, 03:04:56 PM

Also found a bit of oil on the bottom of my rear turbo oil return line... Hoping it's just the gasket due to the fact that the turbos were replaced this year.. I did use new gaskets so here is hoping at least. Going to get that $2 part and slap it on before I go full send and replace the whole turbo

BoostfoSHO · November 03, 2018, 10:58:11 PM

So day 4 done. About 90% done tomorrow is just hooking everything up and hiding all the wiring. It has been a hellish amount of work. Lots of man hours.

I have been having some wheel hop on WOT shifts from 1st to 2nd. Starting doing the research, and came to the conclusion it was my trans shuttering. So I went and got 6 quarts of Motorcraft Mercon LV trans fluid and did the 5 quart swap. My trans fluid was pretty dark, but it didnt smell burnt. Put the new 5 quarts in, and the shuttering as gone away. Going to pick up another 12-15 quarts and cycle out the old fluid with new over the next couple of weeks.

I noticed a big difference in just the 5 quart swap. I am heading back to the track on Friday with a couple more ideas on how to go faster lol.
