    Loud Clunking noise when awd or 4 wheel High

    No noise on mine from 2wd to AWD, sometimes a clunk from AWD to 4H, but not normally, and a clunk when going from 4H to 4L - just did the transfer case fluid so hopefully a bit of the clunk goes away - I too typically only go into 4H at a stop, or going very slow. It's funny I typically only...

    day isnt starting well

    simple pound a smaller impact socket on the stud with the lock - they come right off - I don't even bother after loosing mine and learning how easy the locks are to remove - really - a 3 lb hammer and a impact socket all your wheel locks are defeated - try it

    towing?'s

    oh just thought I should add - I guess I am a fairly old man - at 37 I've been there, drove lots, I even have my air brakes - used to drive firetruck and large RV's - so I have a bit of experience - I think the Expy is great but know it's limits, because my family and yours are sharing the highway

    towing?'s

    I'm going to say - I have a 23 foot hybrid RV trailer - no toys - only weighs in at 5200lbs max and the 5.4L is working - but tows it fine - with the HD tow package - cooler/3.73, but I would NOT want to tow the maximum for these expy's - my old man has an F350, diesel, dually, quad cab - so...

    the Gotts mod?

    I'll tell you one thing after a few years experience with the Expy - I don't care what you do to it, it is NOT good on gas - I don't think I saw ANY improvement in mileage, so who cares - a 5.4l V8 is going to drink gas - I accept that - but I do think throttle response is a bit better - I have...

    So has anyone found an R & R thread in relation to rebuilding this shift motor - mine keeps pissing me off, I carry around a nylon head hammer in the truck because it is unreliable - might just have to remove this thing and document it myself - even tried to look on the F150 Forum - I'll keep...

    Best Oil

    you know they are all pretty much manufactured by like 3 companies... so even cheap shit is the same as good stuff, now I agree there are different synthetics, but watch bob the oil guy - maybe synthetic isn't better... just saying - watch it climb - oh ya it doesn't... so is that better...

    How many watts?

    Don't forget you can run in series or parallel so depending on if the amp can run lower ohm ratings you can double your power in essence... 350 watts means nothing what is the RMS ratings? 100 watts of clean power and efficient speakers can make you go blind! LOL and deaf - sure you won't win...

    made myself a hitch platform.

    Just figure out your metal gauge and weight rating - probably schedule 40 or 80 if steel - simple stuff - you can always build them up with a gusset

    I think I am confused about wheels

    I agree with JD - it's your life and MINE that you are passing on the highway - DO NOT put home made drilled rims on your rig - especially a 6000lbs rig!!! That is why insurance rates go up - and it doesn't look cool - really
