Hey everyone! Picked up a 2011 Screw a few weeks back. All black full load! Love it so much so far!
Currently has 96k on it, bought the extended warranty ( just in case ).
Bought it to be a tow rig for my 91 mustang drift car I can no longer stand to street drive. I'm finding though that with the things I would like to do to my truck I don't know how much drifting I'll be able to afford.
Currently the truck is 100% stock. Well has an AFE drop in filter but that's a stock replacement in my eyes.
With it's 100k service coming up soon I purchased 16 plugs, trans oil and a pan filter, and will do that with my oil change. Hopefully the truck fits into my garage or I'm going to a shop....
I have taken it to a friends farm already and played a bit. Jumped it once on a nice rolling hill out there haha.
Question for everyone though. I'm not sure if it's the colder weather or maybe my working the suspension at the farm but it seems a little bouncy now in the cold. I know my kms are up there so I'm looking into rebuilding the stock shocks. My job at work is essentially rebuilding 300T haul truck suspension so I'm confident I can rebuild them myself (even have nitrogen at work to charge them) but I'm having trouble finding tech specs and the part numbers to get the tool to charge the shock. Is there a sticky I missed regarding rebuilding the OEM shocks yourself?
Or would I be better off taking it to a local shop? I'm a week on week off work so I can plan around some downtime of the truck but it is my daily so it can't be down for too long.
Id like to just splurge on the icon 3.0 kit and bumpstops but that's a big chunk of money for a truck that needs to tow my mustang at least 6000kms a year.
Plus I'm not some older fellow with the finances to do such a thing. Just a regular joe blow kid who's finishing up his heavy duty ticket.
Well that's about it. I plan on driving my truck off-road like it was meant to be. There an off-road park near where I live that I plan on going too next weekend to get dirty.
And f anyone can link me the Oem rebuild specs and if any special tools are req'd I'd appreciate it! It's going to get cold soon so I'd like to get it done.
Thanks everyone!
