Cross-country for a Crossfire
Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Here is mine, on a 6 speed manual, with brand new 285/35R19 's
I know what you are thinking, I was used to rpm between 1,600 and 2,200
There is a 2.88 differential from a forum member.
Also a 3.07 is in the srt
We have a 3.27 in our N/A
The little bit taller tires drops rpm a scosh.

I "do believe" I have to replace the connector because of a slight leak. I still need to investigate first the source.
Thanks again.
Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Tires are about 60% tread. I'm planning on rotating them tomorrow, so I'll get a closer look.
Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Tires look good. Cleaning the wheels a bit more as I have them off for the tire rotation but, still lots of brake dust to remove.
Fronts are Goodyear Eagle Sports (All-seasons). Size 225/40R18 with 7/32" tread remaining.
Rears are Goodyear Eagle Sports (All-seasons). Size 255/35R19 with 8/32" tread remaining.
Rear brake pads and rotors good. Rear shocks good, no leaks.
Front shocks good, no leaks. Steering stabilizer good.
Front brakes worn, will be replacing as I continue on the tire rotation job.

Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
And if so, how do you KNOW it is always on?
ANd if it is on because the trunk lid switch is indicating that the trunk is open, then your top won't go down by design.
Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Good to know I could find an answer to the top not working.
Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Brake job done.

Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
In all my years of doing brake jobs I never heard of warped rotors caused by ceramic brake pads. Warped rotors have many causes, some of which are lack of proper torque of lug nuts/bolts, calipers needing service from sticking pistons which cause uneven pad wear (and when a brake job is done the rotors were already warped and not checked/replaced), damaged hub/caliper mounts or loose (to name a few common causes). Glad you got the brake job done!
I tried searching for warped rotors caused by ceramic pads, but did not find any results that people wrote about. If you have a source, can you post the link so I may educate myself some?

Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
I have found this forum, to be the BEST forum I EVER belonged to. I have belonged to quite a few in the many years of trying to help friends with their vehicles. Not so much lately, but I get @ 14 annual birthday wishes from all the ones that keep me in their databases. Many I don't remember the PW to! I hope this forum lasts way beyond my parting of my XF, that's for sure! Most valuable, it is...

Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Got hit with the "Crickets on Crack" Monday (3/27/17). Twice on Monday and again on Thursday.
My "quick fix" - remove siren/alarm from cowl windshield area. After doing this, the dash switch for "anti-tow" now blinks when the Crossfire is locked from the door. Remember, the fob does not function (yet).
I think this is normal, is it? Switch did not flash prior to me yanking out the crickets.

Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
Yeah....
Re: Cross-country for a Crossfire
New chores completed. Did the "Sticky Key Mod" and the "PizzaGuy Trunk lock Mod". Had to do this PizzaGuy mod after attempting to work on the top again. Had to pull the left licence plate light to gain access to pull the emergency handle.
I also removed the seats to "really clean" under the seats. Previous owner loved Doritos and french fries. Found a $1.38 in change, so it was a profitable day.
