Lol yeah... I'm kind of wondering if the stock tires are really just that bad or if it's just that much of a beast. Either way that is a bad combo for anyone on the street.

Insurance on those is going to be painful.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

Looks like FordTechMakuloco's Ford related videos have been pulled.  No longer available on YouTube.

I wondered when this was going to happen. His little videos are insightful, but Ford couldn't be to pleased with one of their own pointing out the flaws in the design.

Too true!  They must be reviewing them, because some of the videos were simple How-To's like changing spark plugs on the 3.5 engine.

Yup, couple key phrases got him I think...like, Ford knows of this issue but there isn't a fix yet...and, the ones where he reveals that cars coming in for certain TSB'S or recalls were getting this "extra" stuff done to all of them.

So what does this play with some people stating there will not be a 3.5 EB for the Taurus - the Explorer uses virtually the same engine no? Transverse mounted 3.5EB? Unless the rumored "stretched Fusion" platform is too small. I really hope they unveil the new Taurus at the Chicago Auto-Show I am jonesing a new Mustang, but REALLY love the 4dr performance sedan that is the SHO.....

Wife's 2007 Durango just got rear ended by a 2006 Chrysler 300.   His car is a total loss, will post pic later.  Sonofabitch!  Was about to trade this thing in or a new Yukon/Tahoe.  Don't think it will be totaled, bummer.  At least the kiddos weren't in the car.  Police officer told her the car seats need to be replaced.
 
Anyone dealt with diminished value before?  How exactly does that work?

Did any air bags deploy?  Possible chance of it being totalled.  You have to use there insurance company to give You the money for reduced value

How's the wife? Hope she is well!

How fast was the 300 goin?

Glad to hear no one was hurt. Best of luck getting some value out of it.

Diminished value laws vary state to state. You'll need to learn how the laws apply in your state of residence. Or just contact the insurer I guess.
