[QUOTE="TomDirt, post: 1988137, member: 57425"] Here's the short list of new/rebuilt parts I have on my 2011. In no particular order, all parts were installed here; so there's no labor cost except a front alignment. [I]The engine oil, rear diff fluid, & trans fluid were lab tested as well. Purchase price: $33K.[/I] Rebuilt 6r80, $2500, rebuilt steering rack, $225, rebuilt alternator, $200. Steering knuckle was gusseted, $900. Suspension: (Gen 2) 3.0 Foxes, KHC coil buckets, New LCA bushings & balljoints, New Blitzkrieg UCA's, SVC 1/2 Tie Rods, new alignment cams & hardware, new Torsen front diff, new high angle CV axles, new rear diff cover. That's at least $4500. Engine parts: new injectors, 16 plugs/plug wires, new coils, water pump & thermostat. New ac compressor, ac hoses, & condenser. New power steering pump, hoses, steering sector shaft, Mishimoto radiator & trans cooler. New trans cooler lines & linkage. New serpentine belt, pulleys, tensioner, There's another $2500-2800. New oem brake rotors, pads, stainless steel brake lines, rebuilt calipers... call it $1000 (6) new Method wheels, BFG 35's, & lug nuts. Prolly another $2000. Add another $500 for quality fluids & filters. And another $500 for "genuine" Ford hardware. Add another $600 for Ravelco theft deterrent, and $400 for proper gages on the A pillar. That's at least $15000 invested, (plus the $33K truck), just to have a reliable 2011 Gen 1 SCREW, with zero rust and a spotless interior. Don't get me started on the ridiculous registration, sales taxes, "fees", & insurance. Is it worth it? I fu cking hope so; (and I plan on being buried in it), but I would NEVER commit to 5.5 years of interest on top of the purchase price for something 10+ years old with 209XXX miles. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
