  1. not a bad one brother. good piece of solid iron.
  2. For Ford FG models, the timing cover issue you mentioned is notable, where incorrect bolts cause oil leaks. Ensure a thorough inspection of this and consider using appropriately sized bolts. Additionally, check for transmission shudder, a known problem in some FG models; addressing it under warranty may involve a transmission fluid flush or torque converter replacement. Keep an eye on power steering pump failures, and be vigilant for any signs of suspension wear, particularly with the front suspension bushes. Regular maintenance, such as checking the cooling system and addressing any electronic glitches promptly, will contribute to a reliable and hassle-free ownership experience.
  3. When facing difficulty removing solenoids to access the rocket valve cover, first, ensure you've removed any securing bolts or clips. Apply a penetrating lubricant to loosen any corrosion. Gently wiggle and twist the solenoids while pulling upward. If they remain stuck, consider using a soft-faced mallet to tap them lightly from various angles. Exercise caution to avoid damage. If these methods fail, seek advice from automotive forums, consult the vehicle's manual, or consider professional assistance. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage, and patience combined with methodical attempts should help resolve the issue and allow you to successfully remove the solenoids.
  4. The compatibility of the new and updated FGX ICC (Interior Command Center) with a Mk2 model FG remains uncertain without specific information. Enquire with the vehicle manufacturer, consult official documentation, or seek advice from automotive forums and enthusiast communities. Compatibility depends on software, hardware, and wiring configurations, and manufacturer support or third-party solutions may provide insights. Checking with experts or those who have attempted similar upgrades can offer valuable guidance for ensuring a seamless integration of the new FGX ICC into a Mk2 model FG.
  5. Determining whether your Falcon XR6 FG Upgrade Utility has a factory-fitted 6-speed or underwent a 5-speed swap requires a detailed inspection. Check the vehicle's documentation, such as the owner's manual or build sheet, for transmission specifications. Additionally, the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can provide information about the original factory configuration. If unsure, consult a certified mechanic or contact the manufacturer for precise details. They can examine the transmission, identify any modifications, and verify whether the 6-speed is factory-installed or a result of a previous upgrade or swap.
  6. While hollowing out the catalytic converter may improve exhaust flow, it's not recommended for several reasons. It can lead to legal issues as tampering with emissions control devices is often against regulations. Additionally, it may cause your vehicle to fail emission tests, negatively impact engine performance, and result in increased air pollution. Instead, consider consulting with a mechanic to address exhaust concerns in a way that maintains environmental compliance and the overall functionality of your vehicle.
  7. Experiencing a rev-hunting issue in your FG, where the engine revs inconsistently between 1,000 and 2,500 RPM, accompanied by hesitation during acceleration, can be indicative of several potential issues within the vehicle's engine and fuel management system. One possible culprit could be a malfunctioning sensor, such as the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) or the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). These sensors play a crucial role in delivering accurate data to the engine control unit (ECU), influencing fuel injection and ignition timing. If any of these sensors are faulty or dirty, they may provide inaccurate readings, leading to erratic engine behavior and hesitation. Another aspect to consider is the fuel delivery system. A clogged fuel injector or a fuel pump that is not delivering a consistent flow of fuel can result in uneven combustion, causing the engine to hunt for the correct idle speed. Inconsistent fuel delivery can also lead to hesitation when accelerating. Vacuum leaks in the intake system can contribute to these symptoms as well. A leak can disrupt the balance of air and fuel entering the engine, affecting its performance. Check for any cracked hoses, loose connections, or gasket failures in the intake system. Issues with the electronic control system, including the throttle body and idle air control valve, may also be responsible for the irregular revs. The throttle body could be dirty or malfunctioning, affecting the air-fuel mixture and engine speed. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing air filters and spark plugs, may help alleviate these symptoms. However, for a comprehensive diagnosis and resolution, it is advisable to consult with a qualified mechanic or technician. They can perform a thorough inspection, use diagnostic tools to identify specific issues and provide the necessary repairs or adjustments to restore smooth engine performance.
