    Oil Life - What would you do?

    A lot of good information. Stay away from "CHEAP". Most places that give the lowest price just use bulk oil and or just want to push other work on you. I would find a good local shop and ask if you could bring your own oil and filter and let it go the 5-8k before I let the barrel oil go a...

    Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000

    I love the expi and I am married to this beast plan on keeping her for atleast 10 years. I have a problem with power now that I am running 35" tires and figure that if I can get around 500ftlbs of Tq I will enjoy the ride that much more. May just need to talk with an engine guy and see what you...

    Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000

    11,000? You can sell the cores not pay people to work on you own vehicle DIY. And once all is said and done you pull the performance parts before you scrap the vehicle if your unable to maintain your own ride. 8150 for the crate BTW.

    Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000

    I was interested in the 10speed trans as a package not soldnon the ideql but it got the wheels turning. Still in the daydreaming stages but with a few mount mods and a adapter kit the new 7.3 Godzilla would probably put the biggest smile on my face. My 13 has 90,000 and doing fine I love the...

    Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000

    Yeah I seen that episode of Jerry springer.... Go big or trader in. I was looking at the new crate 7.3 Godzilla and everyone can try to say they can bulletproof the 5.4 there are some design flaws that this new 7.3 have moved into the new age level of quality from the blue oval. Then you...

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    Every other set of pads. I alos take the brakes apart everytime I rotate the wheels and make sure everything slides right and apply brake lube to the slides since the pistons only apply pressure from one side of the caliper. The piston sides always wears out with 75% left on the otbd side. This...

    FX4 front air dam

    I have a 13 with the leveling kit and up front I will be changing out the UCA and going with Icons front coil overs (tighter coils) for clearance when suspension is fully extended. Right now the UCA hits the stock spring. The raptor wheels (315/70R17) on this configuration rarely rub maybe full...

    Fan Motor Connection

    Just went through the whole process and it looks like the cause of the problem was the draw from the blower motor. I started with a blower motor resistor amd it worked great for 2 day,then I replaced the cannon plug and blower motor resistor. Once again worked like a champ for 2 days all speeds...

    Intermittent Burning Smell - Dealer can't locate source

    The seat heaters did this on my 2013 limited. Inadequate ground to the controller under the seat! Now the blower motor has a plug that looses continuity! Good luck keep us posted

    ReadyLIFT 3"/2" - Any reviews w/ tire size recommendations?

    2013 El limited with raptor factory take offs no mods no problem! Much stiffer ride due to the new angle of control arms but worthwhile!

    Exhaust system question

    Just adding my point of view. I currently park my EL in the garage and the gas from the side pipe is pretty nasty I am thinking of going straight out the back to reduce emissions in the garage! Anyone work with a shop for a custom fit and if so do they offer different alloys aside from the...

    18" wheels on a 2013 EL limited?

    I like the new off road series for 2018 I believe they are running 18" wheels now I need to see what tire size fits best with a 3/2 level kit. Not sure but 34" sounds like the ride will improve along with looks (due to the high profile), so now what about the roll? 2013 EL limited

    3rd gen with 4" lift

    Thanks for the post this answers some of my questions, and now I am going with the 3/2 setup. Now when I do this I am also thinking about doing struts, wheels and tires. Any recommendation for struts? I like the new off road series for 2018 I believe they are running 18" wheels now I need...

    Paint Bubbling, We need EVERYONE to register a complaint! READ FORDS RESPONSE!!!

    Aluminium is great and the industry that has made the best use of it is aviation. Auto manufacturers need to follow stardards that are proven and give the customers what they have over paid for. I recommend the engineers in Wichita drive accross town and ask Cessna why and how they do surface...
