Long story...  but now I get wait again for them to put the correct oil in this car... 5W30 is what the car calls for....

I usually do my own oil changes.... but apparently the ted Britt for life requires them to do it but there is a catch... you must do their recommended services... check the costs...

Illegal.

Prohibition on conditions for written or implied warranty; waiver by Commission. No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this subsection may be waived by the Commission if—
(1) the warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and
(2) the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.
The Commission shall identify in the Federal Register, and permit public comment on, all applications for waiver of the prohibition of this subsection, and shall publish in the Federal Register its disposition of any such application, including the reasons therefor.

For clarity this is for their Ted Britt For Life dealership specific life time warranty that is outside of the normal Ford Warranty.

I initially thought it was a good deal but that was before I saw this maintenance schedule and costs.

I am covered under a 100K Mile CPO extended warranty.

Ted Britt isn't exempt from the law.

Do they call it a warranty?

I would make a report to the FTC, they have been ratcheting up compliance actions over the last few years.

Most recently it was ruled that a warranty cannot be voided because the "warranty seal sticker" has been breached. I'm looking at you SCT.

No more caffeine for YOU . 100% agreed.

Replaced my windshield washer pump.  Actually, I turned a 10 minute pump replacement into a 90 minute funfest when I accidentally pushed the rubber grommet into the fluid tank.  Fortunately, using a piece from an automotive stethoscope and my best foosball and bubble hockey skills, I was able to retrieve the grommet.

Finished the install of the upgraded CHRA's and Turbo Smart WGA's today. The car feels pretty good and no more smoke and burnt oil smell. Hope I don't have to mess with the rear turbo for a long time now.

Makes me feel wonderful about replacing my turbos next week.

It's a lot of work, but not the worst thing in the world. Only part I needed another person for was getting the rear's oil line hooked up and mounting bolts installed. You also don't need to lower the subframe to get it out of the car.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't think I'd have to lower the subframe when I was installing the downpipes. It looked like I had plenty of room. Actually the front turbo doesn't look to bad to do at all.

Installed The AFE Power Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacer P/N 46-33018

They say this Fits a Ford Explorer Sport 3.5L Ecoboost 2012 thru 2015

So I say 2011 for Sure (maybe a 2010) as well, Short "How To" to Follow.....

Power Gain, Jury is still Out, however for Less than 100 bucks, A No Brainier...

Dam that did not last long: SO  NOW HEBRONAUTOPARTS

yesterday was a good day for my sho at a 200 car show. won the 2000-14 class, of course mustangs & camaros had other classes but the mopars & rest didn't. well over 50 wins in the sho's career. she's not in bpd's class but did win gold award @'15 convention in chicago. here in st louis & surrounding areas, they have a committee that runs what they call the best of the best. only 300 of all the cars shown at shows in the area & there are usually atleast 2 shows a weekend from mid may to mid sept are invited to attend their show in oct & this weekend she was invited. i was hoping for a few years she would but usually even though winning my class often she had been ignored after all she is the only one around that shows so nothing to compare to. so will be representing ford's b*****d red haired step child in his show. we all know how good sho's are but only real fanatic car guys have a clue.

Congrats on another well-deserved victory, Mike!

Congrats Michael on the win!!!!

So very, Very, VERY cool!

Got the car re-tuned after the stock turbo upgrades. Pretty happy with the results.

Nice!  Please ... do tell!

Re-registered it and ordered it a case of Boost-Juice! lol
