    Comparing your hood protector compared to a video I saw on an older model, the older model appeared to have a lip on the trailing edge that forces air upward which would probably offer more bug and stone deflection.

    Great video! Concise and to the point. At 2:06 in the video, an easier solution for bottom panel removal is to slide the unit over the edge of a table. There are four slots along the bottom. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into each slot and you will hear a "click" and that releases the clips for that section. Once you hear four "clicks", the bottom is easily removed, and you don't risk breaking anything. I recently discovered this as I took my unit apart for the water pump replacement and a thorough deep cleaning. Also be sure to use distilled water and it should help with any excess scale build-up.

    2020 Forester sport here... The ac line is dangerously close to the wiring harness bracket on the driver side. Also, probably don't have to unplug the ECU at all if you can just move the harness enough. Furthermore, the driver rear ignition coil required undoing the harness clip with a flat head and DO NOT lose this clip, and then pulled out the coil towards the front and up of the engine bay. Your extensions are going be slightly too short and just too long to really inconvenience you as much as possible 😂. Good luck if you are taking on the good ol boxer spark plugs on.

Mine started squealing a few months ago, but I wasn't paying attention to it...end up year craziness. Then suddenly stopped producing ide and said "defrosting". Called GE and they said run it through with HOT vinegar 5 times. Did this, still NOT producing ice. GE "support" is worthless!!! $700 machine and 0 help! Could it be because that metal insert in the middle of the machine is gunked up? I am trying to find videos of how to fix this thing and yours is one of 3 that talked about "gunk" and "build up". I use filtered water because we have very hard water here. Any response and help would be very, very VERY appreciated!

    • @Lucrativesoldier
      @Lucrativesoldier Місяць тому

      So the winch is wired directly to the battery. Because it comes with a wireless remote control, there’s no need for any other wiring. It also comes with a wired remote control, but that plugs in at the winch whenever you want to use it. As for the lights, I did everything the hard way first time around. Now I’ve realized there’s a much easier and better way to do it, and that’s what I’m in the process of doing now. I’m installing this unit. amzn.to/3Vcerno

    Subaru dealer charges a fortune for this job as they will lift the engine up to make room. Even on regular (vertical) engines I have seen cross threaded spark plugs, done by professionals. I hate to think what they could do on a Subaru... I'll stay with Japanese made cars...but not with Subaru.

      Yeah the dealer is always trying to knock you upside the head. That’s why I choose to do my own maintenance. I love my Subaru forester, and would get another. But my parents have the ascent and it’s crap.😒

      @@samkitty5894 sounds like he has a newer Ascent, that is at least working like it should. lol. I agree with how you feel about the technology. I think it’s helpful for those who aren’t that great at driving. lol. I personally turn most of that tech off as like your friend said, I don’t like the vehicle controlling things. I prefer to rely on my driving skills, and I hate having to fight the vehicle. So I completely understand and agree with that. But I also think that technology is being put in all the newer vehicles.

    Thanks dude. One of my back windows stopped working maybe the first month I got my Forester in 2021. It doesn't matter which switch I use, front or rear. 100,000mi later, I still haven't fixed it. It's time. I was going to have the dealer fix it, but they couldn't even be bothered to replace my cracked coolant tank. Instead, they called me a liar.

      You’re welcome! Yeah I stay away from the dealer as much as I possibly can. It’s funny you said you just dealt with it being broken, because mine just broke again a few months ago, and I just decided to roll with it rather than fix it again. lol. If I find another switch at a decent price, I might go ahead and fix it again. lol👍🏾

    Do yourself a favor and only use distilled water. No scale buildup. Just sanitize with bleach once a week. Mine is 18 months old and tubes were like new. No slime or mold anywhere. Just needed to blow out the dust from the fans and condenser coil.

    My ice maker keeps saying Add Water. There is water. The pump only works for about 1 minute then stops. If I turn the ice maker off and on it will do it again, work for a minute or so then stop and the fan also stops. It's been doing this for a while now, I usually clean it and it will work for a couple weeks then say Add Water. Now it's not working long enough to make ice. A year or so ago it was making a horribly loud squeaking noise. It quit doing that, thank goodness but now it doesn't work at all. I've had it 2 years. So if the pump was the problem wouldn't it just not work at all? A lot of people have this problem. Please help Thank you

Is it supposed to do that? Now it is making ice. I think some of my problems are operator error along with the machine having issues as well. I did have a large piece of gunk in the hose which I removed this morning. Thank you for replying so quickly. As of now it is working.

    Good information but not good to hear. I just installed the same Ironman kit on my 2020 Forester Sport. I took it for the test ride to settle the suspension and parked it. Next morning I noticed a large puddle of oil below the rear strut. Looks like the weld at the lower ring cracked and all the oil leaked out. I contacted them and a new strut is on the way. I'll see if the bushings have been changed on the new one too. This is not good or confidence inspiring. Like you said "You get what you paid for". At least they are making good on the replacement and warranty. I also noticed that you are running the front stock swaybar end links. When I was putting the front together one side at a time I had to compress the strut to line up the end link and I didn't think this is good so I installed Ralitek adjustable links. The lift made the stock links too long. Watching your progress and seeing how it goes with Ironman honoring the warranty.

    • @Lucrativesoldier
      @Lucrativesoldier Місяць тому

      Thanks! Sorry to hear you’re having issues too. It’s nice that they honor the warranty, but in all honesty, who wants to keep removing their suspension to have it replaced? Not to mention having it realigned too. And then you have those who don’t do their own work, so those people have to pay for labor also. It’s just unfortunate that they can’t get it together.😒
