Pretty much! My '13 already had a small leak at 152k miles when I got it, and the previous owner clearly rode it hard and put it up wet. It wasn't enough to even leave a drop of fluid under the truck while sitting but more of a seepage from the seals that the bellows contain (mostly) and the...

Remove the outer tie rod nuts at the spindle (21mm, an impact will usually spin 'em off but you might need to use a wrench on the nut and a 10mm on the shaft if it decides to spin), once the nut is off smack the spindle with a hammer where the tie rod end connects until it pops loose: Remove...

Thought I would write up a quick DIY for replacing the steering rack on a Gen 1, recently did mine and couldn't find another thread on here so hope it helps someone. Parental advisory I'm not a certified or otherwise endorsed mechanic! This is as much a "what not to do" as it is just...

Sure! https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11447325&cc=3000983&pt=2288&jsn=13 Right side is $58 heh: https://www.rockauto.com/?carcode=3000983&parttype=2288

Dammit. That's what I get for waiting so long to be a supporting member...

:hmmm2: Welllll not on mine. I've seen quite a few of those "discard" bolts and nuts instructions in the Ford manual and...I haven't done that on any of 'em (CV 13mm nut comes to mind, and tie rod end nuts, probably balljoint nuts, had all of those off and on multiple times). I do use a lot of...

So I did get the rack swapped, Cardone reman from Rockauto along with all new lines, will post a DIY if there's not one in that subforum already. Pretty straightforward affair. Smoooooth steering now and no leaky... Cleaner new one:

How the hell do they reman a windshield???

Rear diff went smoothly: Found a place to wedge the bottle and not get a 75W140 bath: Found a torn boot when I rotated tires, replaced LH CV axle, like $59 from Rockauto: I got lucky from what I've read, it pulled right out after a couple tugs :manos: I dunno why you guys are cryin' about...

200k Service over the last couple weekends amid other projects. Had a kitty litter pan with a hole in it perched atop my drain pan thinking I could contain the transmission oil waterfall...no not so much. Garage floor at new house christened. Fluid is relatively clean and magnet not too...

Got mine from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014ZVSVK/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

I know haha! I got Mercon V everywhere, you wouldn't think such a small hydraulic system could have so much fluid o_O

Really difficult to pinpoint frontend noises, but I wonder if the tension adjustment on your rack would make any difference. I did go ahead and order a Cardone reman from Rockauto along with all new lines and one of their in-line filters. Will report back once it's back in one piece... Seems...

Sure! I should have mentioned that, center clear I have work/scene, outside ambers I have driving/combo lenses. Definitely what I was expecting, bright is an understatement heh (the Pros WILL blind you!!!) and the cargo clear throws light really far and reasonably wide. I would definitely...

I'm sure there's at least one if not a couple good Youtube videos covering the install. As far as lights, not sure, I think the general consensus was the S2 Pro is a little TOO bright but I went with them anyway (amber on each side and clear in the center, the clear is tied to the cargo light...

Motorcraft or Cardone? Now I'm curious about 'em. On rockauto the Motorcraft STG703RM reman is $448.79 (+core) and 24 month warranty, Cardone 22-2121 reman $164.79 and 36 month warranty, Cardone 97-2121 new $413.79 with lifetime warranty (although curiously on their website the reman lists...

I agree that update likely did it, I haven't tried to upgrade Sync (I still haven't even updated my nav maps hahaha!) but surely there's a setting somewhere for it, maybe Forscan?

Somewhere in Texas... Still rollin'.

@PD1744 ready for a 6R80 rebuild thread?!??

Locked up isn't it? Might be better off turning that block into a coffee table or something...

You just got a new one, I got dibs!

Oh damn, I’m moving to the area mid next month, will hit you up for a price on new KO2 35’s (gonna try load range C) and check this thread for any used you might have then…maybe those 37’s if still there, are they D or E?

They used to be like $45 from Tasca, I need both fronts, last time I looked they were like $80...
