What is this box on my air intake for?
That is a resonator. It helps balance the pressure waves in the intake smoothing the flow which makes it quieter and possibly improves power. I have seen debate on if this really impacts power or is just for a quieter ride.- JimR_TN

Is A/C cold at idle/around town in 2015-2017’s?
A basic suggestion is check your airflow at idle and also ensure your evaporator is clean. They can get dirty reducing air flow causing it not to work well at idle. They make cleaning products just for that purpose.- JimR_TN

09 3v power loss "cured" with 5w40
Interesting, could it be all the Arizona heat cycles and dry air destroying the plastic in the connector like that?- JimR_TN

Help with color code of exterior trim, 2007 Expy
A poster on another forum said it looked like Ford Dark Shadow Gray. It didn't look right to me, but then again I had sprayed it on a cardboard as a test. I painted a few square inches of space what was chipping and bingo! It is Dark Shadow Gray. Now to find a weather window to work in.- JimR_TN

Help with color code of exterior trim, 2007 Expy
Help! I'm ready to repair some minor front end damage, I have headlights, fog lights, a grille and emblem and the Oxford White for that portion of the front. But I'm stumped on what color the lower front bumper cover is. My door sticker only lists the main Oxford White and doesn't list the trim...- JimR_TN

O2 sensors again....
Agree that what codes you are getting would be helpful. As long as the codes are for the second O2 sensors it shouldn't cause drivability issues. And if you don't have emissions testing then the only concern is probably getting rid of the check engine light. In that case I'd probably go for the...- JimR_TN

New rattle, torque converter area???
To close this one out, the shop that diagnosed the broken catalytic converter was causing the rattle gave me an estimate of $5,000 to replace just the left catalytic converter and $3,000 to use an aftermarket converter! Yikes! So I found a Walker aftermarket converter on Amazon that was marked...- JimR_TN

New rattle, torque converter area???
Update: turned out it was a broken catalytic converter. I knew that cat wasn't working, but it started to break up inside. Way louder than I expected for a broken catalytic converter. Better than engine, transmission or even flexplate.- JimR_TN

New rattle, torque converter area???
It didn't seem loose, but it's worth a shot putting a clamp on it before taking it in to a shop. Thanks. At this point I'm leaning toward a cracked flexplate.- JimR_TN

New rattle, torque converter area???
So I picked up a nasty rattle on my 2007, 165k. No check engine light, my scanner could find nothing wrong, it ran and shifted smoothly on the way home. Checking it out the noise is from under the car, seems to be coming from the bell housing area. It was very loud there, not the oil pan. The...- JimR_TN
