    Raptor stuck

    The rope is working for him. However be careful hooking on a ball. I have seen 2 drop hitches break . Hook into a proper receiver mount, American made. Use American shackles, and never use a steel shackle to join ropes. There are good soft shackles out there. The raptor has 2 good loops, front...

    GEN 1 Cold Weather Tips? (Canada)

    Terrible advise. This is Relic "knowledge" from the 70's, and needs to die. Factory recommendation is 5w20, the 5 is winter viscosity and 20 is warm temp. These oils lose viscosity the colder they get so going to a 0 is exactly the wrong decision. You do not need to play with this, going to a 0...

    Yea and you have to get a cold package when you get shocks rebuilt. You cannot warm shocks or diffs up so you have to drive easy for a bit

    Quoted from above Nowhere in the Ford manuals, they say that you _have_ to use 5W20 synthetic blend. What you _have_ to use is the oil that meets Ford's specs. For the 20 grade oils, the spec name in the recent times was WSS-M2C945-A. For example, Mobil 1 AFE 0W20 meets this, as it is...

    https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3054835/why-does-ford-recommend-5w20-and-not-0w20 If you want to understand take a read. If you you want to be an internet expert, don't bother. Your chart does not have 5w 20 on it. But it does say that 5w is rated to -35 and 0w is...

    Have you ever used the dog dish hubcaps on an old ford to start them? You fill it full of gas and light it , and slide under the oil pan. On a heavy diesel you need atf and gas mixed together for a starting fluid. Wonder what engineer figured that design spec out, eh Ben.

    Oh whatever. If 5 w 20 is recommended then what is wrong with 0w20? Love your bold type. Makes you look smart. Should of used more of it doesn't matter to me but some of those 6.2 s took 5 w 30 , not 5 w 20

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Teflon tape is a lubricant. So be careful. Hydraulic valves with npt fittings have no warranty if you split and they find teflon traces

    The dewalt pumps to set point and shuts off. If manual gauge reading is out then reset compressor set point to compensate

    Do you guys air down offroad? What PSI for stock tires?

    That is what I was talking about Smurf. A hose to each rear wheel to a central point. A 2 inch round gauge with a ball valve . That way you open and close ball valve to inflate and deflate tires. Closed takes a reading and open puts air in and takes air out. I would trust it more than a 5...
