Well, upgrades ordered. There goes goosetune/FMIC for a little while.

All my friends tell me I need to start making videos. To busy driving.

It was a riot. Was trying to set a record and make dinner reservations. (Look up newfoundland mountains to Wendover Nevada). I knew the landing was going to be questionable when the hood lifted about 3/8 inch on the way down because we were weightless.

Like you would not believe.

Krazy house customs, here comes my next order!!!!!!

Soooooo, it isn't until 100k warranty expires that PREVENTATIVE maintenance is a concern?? Sure hope something doesn't fail at 115k that could have been prevented.

Lastly, 95% of the time the ring and pinion gears can be reused on a pinion bearing failure. Although we did just have a Ram pickup that required a new gear set.

Well your friend did follow the service manual it appears. So Ford has gotten lazy. I don't see how you can lay any of this on your friend. (Although we remove and reseal diff covers on our services). My money says that pinion bearing was going to fail regardless.

Eph me!!!! Couple of things. As a mechanic this shit sucks. We get blamed for everything that happens after a repair. We call it "ever since syndrome ". Two weeks ago we had a customer the we replaced rear brakes on his truck, the next day he calls the shop and say "my battery is dead this...

Understood. I have some questions for you. I 100% do not want to come across as rude. These questions are questions out of curiosity. So if it in deed needs more repairs what are you going to do? To me from the outside looking in, you are pregnant, meaning you own it, what other choice do...

Lol My shit works, but you do you!!

Oh my god NO. If you get a compatible used harness, replaced the entire harness.

I believe it is the wiring going to the blue connector. The wire isn't a true coax cable. Which just has one center conductor. This is a shield wire with I believe 5 conductors. Extremely small. I would say near impossible to repair. If you purchased correctly (at less than 1/2 book...

That is a coax cable. And buying a salvage vehicle has its risks.

Adding fluid is probably pretty slow, and has been reported as such. It is a small tube. As far as checking fluid level it is a dipstick, couldn't be any easier. On my transmission the dipstick does NOT touch the fluid cold. Which kind of ticks me off, it could be an inch longer. But hot...

Keep it up, you will never make it as an engineer thinking like that. Oh the worst one is Honda (maybe nissian also). They want you to check transmission fluid at some weird temp like 115 degrees. YET!!! The transmission cooler is a heat exchanger on the side of the transmission with 3/4 inch...

So many mods into my 2020 I will have to be buried inside it. Even if I did get another rig in the future, 2002 F350, 2020 Raptor ain't going anywhere.

First, do not brake torque it much or for very long. The main heat source in a transmission is the shearing of the fluid inside the torque converter. Fluid doesn't leave the torque converter real fast (if it did it probably would not work), if you brake torque heavy for a length of time you...

You can get pan off without removing Tcase. I have the BM dipstick. Set your fluid level with your original baby dipstick first. Then install the BM dipstick, check level and mark the stick. The BM doesn't have any fluid marks on it.

By 100k all fluids besides oil should have been changed twice at a minimum. Trans, transfer case and coolant 3 times perfered Oil 20 times. Plugs 2 times. Hoses and belts seem to last for ever now, but seriously look over everything well. Plastic cooling system parts degrade and let go at...

I think the average person worries more about their paint, than they do their drivetrain. Which is actually a testament to how well stuff is made vs 40 years ago.

7500 miles is nuts. 5k max. I doubt oil had anything to do with the crank cracking though. But ask yourself, does the manufacturer (this is not a Ford only thing) have any incentive for your engine to last past 120,000miles. If oils are better than they were 15, 20, 30 years ago, (which...

Drove from Ogden UT, to Oakley ID. Spent the night and went to City Of Rocks. It would appear if you are a rock climber the place is heaven (I am not a rock climber). The place is full of history, regarding the American expansion west. At the visitors center they had a display of the...

Well that might be worth carrying around.
