Maybe only on the 17+, but running 94 Petro Canada, which has
ethanol in it, the crickets have actually stopped after some time. I mean ACTUALLY stopped. I was previously using Shell which is the only option for no ethanol in my area, decided to use 94 Petro to test it out, crickets slowly went away...... I've even tested it going back and forth, crickets come back after running shell then swapping to 94 Petro again, but only for a little while, maybe a week or so.
Fix one rattle, and another rattle will appear.
Kids LOVE my car.. Absolutely adore my car. Bunch of kids that play near my house always wave at me; had some kids watching me wash my car once as if a TV show. The even funnier thing is these kids don't discriminate cars based on their price, like adults would. Next door sits a F-150 Raptor, Mustang GT (with some mods), Lexus IS-300, Acura TLX(pretty sure A-spec) and a C7 Vette Sting Ray, all of which are brand new or very recent MY.
