It's really worthless for anything other than concealing what you have in your cargo area. That's the only logical reason to have one. If I didn't have to park downtown I wouldn't have put it in. ...

The shade is made in China. They sell the same one in different widths for many different vehicles on eBay. I should have taken a picture of the 'instructions' if you will. They were entirely in...

Ebay Retractable Cargo Cover Install

So I couldn't find much on these ebay cargo covers, but due to the high parts cost of the factory retractable cover ($800ish) I decided to try one out. I've got a 2002 4.6is, so it has tracks for...

Strictly said mileage was all over the board, which is why they think age is the common factor. I would guess it's issue of engine hours more specifically. Too bad we can't track them like a diesel...

Yep, there was almost no warning other than the whining sound the day before, which sounded like a failing power steering pump.

Strictly BMW said last year they've done like 3 or 4 of these jobs...

After bouncing around to a couple different shops and seeing estimates from $9600 to $15,000 we finally settled on Strictly BMW in Bellevue. I've had them do some diagnostic work for me on other...

Haven't found a single one! And I don't have time to swap this motor right now. I'm already in the middle of a Duramax swap on my other vehicle, as well as painting my truck and rebuilding the rear...

It's got around 140k miles on it.

They drained the oil and pulled the pan to recover the plastic bits of chain guides, which also revealed the metal shavings. Not only are the guides toast, but...

Well, I took it down to an indy I have used in the past to inspect everthing. They got the oil pan and valve covers off and found the guides were chewed up. Unfortunately because about 45 miles...

Is that due to continuing issues with engine codes, or noise issues? I get about one second of rattle upon startup if the engine is cold, but its (well it was) smooth and quiet otherwise. Gotta...

Can you identify this tube?

I'm normally really good at documenting a disassembly process, but I can't find a shot of this one. I had the valve covers blasted and powdercoated to fix oil leaking past the gaskets.
