You made me realize I forgot I have a gear wrench serpentine belt kit… im Fixing to go look at what’s in that.

so you ground a 27mm hex head on a round socket?

Not in Arkansas as much as I would like, unfortunately. Used to head out to Hot Springs quite a bit to hit up the lakes! I had a welder, but when we moved, my garage started to get a little packed and I sold it. Just didn't use it much. BUT, an exhaust shop down in town would probably tack...

Serious question… does anyone have anything fabbed up that they would be willing to loan with a deposit? I pay shipping of course! Or… capable of fabbing up something I can purchase?! Need to see if my rack slack can be adjusted before I go out and buy a new rack, tie rod ends and fluid that...

This is actually a good suggestion in most cases. Too many kids these days don’t know how to do (or want to do) anything on their car/truck, and not a lot of us experienced shade trees want to take the time and effort to teach.

In I have only lived here in this hood 2 years or so, it’s always been kind of a toss up. There are times I’ve done things like a wiper motor for free, or got his pressure washer running, because I felt like tinkering… but then I’ve charged him to do a water pump on his 5.0 f150, and some...

Generic question… how much would YOU charge, or be willing to pay, someone to swap out an entire rear axle assembly on a truck. Nothing fancy, just old out and junkyard unit installed. Edit: swap brakes back over to used assembly. Neighbors son lost all his diff fluid and burned up his rear...

What year was it? I didn’t know they changed styles

I’m starting to get used to “raptor” and “expensive” being in the same sentence LoL

Yeah, I figured it might, but once I got the deep well, and used some plastic to hold the bolt in, it wasn’t too bad.

Fixed

Got my drivers seat trim in the other day. Figured out how bad my PO jacked that stuff up. Went together okay, rear 7mm bolt was a slight PITA, but went behind the seat with an extension and got it in. The seat belt access cover is slightly off color, but so was the original? All in all, I...

So, is there a wire to tap into under the console to make those work?! Just curious

I wasn't even aware it was a thing. I guess the TASCA application information is wrong? And I bet there's probably not a good wire for the dome light circuit ran within that console, eh? LOL

I was playing around on tasca today, debating some interior trim purchases, and I saw this Rear Trim Panel: It said 2013-2014 raptor. However... I don't have those "lights" at the bottom of my rear panel? Are those lights?! My 2013 has THIS panel, without those light looking ports: But...

Yeah, that's generally what I thought... Like everyone buying their catch cans from Alibaba and re-selling them at different price points, or drop shipping items from their store, from another vendor and making a profit... the market is annoying to navigate sometimes for a consumer. I thought I...

I was prepared to do that, but once I put that expanding foam in there, I could shake it, tap it, move it all around, and it didn't make a sound. So far, it's been whisper quiet in the truck. The only noise I notice is when my left knee rides in that area and pushes the door panel a bit, but...

Shopping for some carbon fiber overlays for my console and dash to hide a few imperfections, I keep noticing a large price differential for what appears to be a similar product. Eastern Shore Retro's has a console kit for around 85, and then ebay has 2 kits.. one is around 100 and the other is...

I’m not out in the garage, but if there’s any exposed spring or mechanical part, I’d spray it with good ol lubricant, can’t hurt? May just make your interior stink, like mine after I sprayed the shaft where it goes into the firewall. It’ll pass LOL

Is that the noise it makes when it hits the floor?

Clock spring came in, pulled the wheel off, replaced the spring, put it back together… test drive showed no more squeak. I bat about .900 when it comes to throwing parts at things LOL

I fixed that steering wheel squeak, it was the clock spring. Just throwing this off track as much as possible at this point.

lack of anything else going on LOL My steering wheel still squeaks when I turn it... I guess we can talk about that? No one else responded to my thread LOL. The clock spring did come in today! So, I may take some pics and update my dead thread if it fixes it.

A whole other conversation that this made me think about: I could totally purchase an R, but spending that much money on a truck that I will never utilize the capability of, just doesn't make sense for ME. I will complain at times, but I still enjoy turning wrenches and figuring things out on...

I was going to comment on the power/torque curve when running a larger TB on an otherwise stock motor. From the dyno graphs I saw, it takes away from the low end and adds to the top end. Wasn't going to work with my needs. But... now that I see this is a Forced Induction conversation, I will...
