Yesterday I finished continued with my Maintenance, I’m embarrassed to say but replaced in the transfer case and front diff fluids took me almost 5 hours, it was arduous pumping out the fluid in the front diff. So I finished up the next day replacing the rear diff fluid, it was so easy with the Ford performance cover. It actually didn’t need it. The fluid was very clear, but check out the magnet. There was a lot of buildup. It gets me thinking that I should have somebody install the Ford performance front diff cover to catch this junk on the magnet.View attachment 484519View attachment 484520View attachment 484521
I am just going to say, that you are some what wrong with the statement "it did not need it"
Preventative maintenance is just that. done to prevent failure. you can't wait until your pinion bearings are singing like a prepubescent choir boy, to do maintenance.

You don't wait until you have a rod knock to change your oil.

Change all fluids often!!!

It feels a little sketchy over 100 on the freeway. But that could also be from 37s on soft King settings.
Have to be honest, although I threw the replacement endlinks back on when they got here, I didn't miss the sway bar I removed while waiting. Esp with the fresh TSW Bravo valved aluminum hatted live valve rebuilds. Just wasn't a crazy difference. These "new links" shit the bed and I'll likely be looking at a permanent delete.

I mean, it's almost a trophy truck as it is, right? :p

That's good to read. I'm really just thinking about removing the swaybar. What's the worst that happens, I don't like it and but it back on? I still need to take pics of these crazy swaybay end brackets.
