    Electrical/No crank problem

    And what does that 900 CCA get you exactly? Are you running a massive winch? Are you running a 2000W plus stereo? Do you have 200+ amps of LED on your truck? Spending less sure as hell does make me feel warm and fuzzy. Because I can put that money towards paying off my truck, or towards a...

    Electrical/No crank problem

    Just because you bought into the marketing hype and spent way more than the average person is going to on a battery doesn't mean everyone else needs to.

    Electrical/No crank problem

    Keep justifying your purchase. And pressuring people to spend money. Yes, batteries are made from lead. That's pretty standard. It better have a better warranty, since it costs 50% more than store brand AGM, and is a pain in the ass to get replaced if needed. All modern vehicle batteries...

    6.2 and nos?

    You don't feed the nitrous in off the line, that will destroy the engine. Your 100hp shot at 1000rpm is a 525 ft-lb increase in torque. You feed the nitrous to the engine somewhere after peak torque and let it stay through the shifts. The biggest problem for you sir, is consumption. Your...

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    Could be a few things, dyno variations, temp and DA, tuning issues, and of course tires/gears. Is this at the same dyno that was used last time? Dyno numbers can be 10% different just from a dynojet to a mustang. You should be running more RPM with the cam kit installed. If it is on the same...

    That's like claiming a raptor never needs servicing.

    GEN 1 2011 Rear window

    Good luck! If you do have to replace the glass don't sweat it. It is a really easy DIY project. If you find parts let us know about that too.

    GEN 1 2011 Rear window

    That pic is way more helpful. That's the slider seal. I don't know if there is a replacement unit available for it. It may be a replace the whole window type fix. Go with solid glass! These sliders seem to be seriously devoid of engineering for longevity. For the seal on that 3rd light, go to...

    High mileage owners please check in

    That's more than the warrantied shortblock costs direct from Ford. If you don't need the heads I would just go through Ford. Take the heads to your local machine shop for reconditioning, porting if your up for the cost and stick it on the short block. A set of heads is MUCH easier/cheaper to...

    High mileage owners please check in

    Once you've gone boost you won't think so highly of a "bigger" NA engine (a 6.6l is only 6.5% larger). You are going to spend the cost of a whipple to get the Livernois block, , then spend more money on cams, then again what the short block would cost you on head porting for a ~20% hp gain Put...

    Remove front cover, replace gasket, fluid is homogenous :).

    Electrical/No crank problem

    Looks like your on the right track OP. The top tier batteries from most manufacturers are an AGM. I don't buy into the odyssey trend, getting service on them is much more of a hassle than going to your local parts store and exchanging what you have. If you have an Odyssey supplier near by...

    torn axle boot

    You can also search CV boots by size. Just measure the axle diameter at the boot location, and the housing at the clamp location, then the overall length. Also, call NAPA. They will actually go to the effort of pulling the correct catalogue out from under the counter.

    Lee Power Steering help

    Do you have any leaks in the system? Go through and make sure everything is tightened properly, it is possible you are letting air in somewhere.

    Oil leak in the rear

    Bad muffler bearing seal. But seriously, nice job checking the underside of your truck out. That's good ownership!

    RATTLERS AND THE DESERT

    Strange how they don't die quickly.... I used to ball one up into a bail of hay periodically out in Moab, you would come down the next row and see the dismembered top poking out of the bail biting at the air.

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    That's a good question. My assumption is that it's something to do with the harmonics. Coyotes do pop OPG in turbo applications, my soon to be turbocharged gen 2 got nothing but OPG because of this, and I expect to run it around 700hp. Maybe it has to do with the speed they RPM with boost, I...

    RATTLERS AND THE DESERT

    I have had similar experiences with rattlers, I can't here them. Even in my teens I couldn't hear them. I figure natural selection wants my ginger body out of the desert. Leave the dang rattlers alone! Your in the desert miles from livestock and children, they warn you so they don't have to...
