    Timing job complete!

    I rarely use a torque wrench and never had a problem. People think mechanics keep one in their back pocket but it's not true. A few lines on cams never hurt anything either. Andy; don't worry about breaking bolts, it rarely happens.

    Oil filter adapter gasket ... anyone done this on 4WD?

    I think that switch takes a 13/16" deep socket. What are you trying to do?

    Lug Nut Size?

    Not saying it's a precise method, just saying that's what many do to save time at the tire shops.

    Does a 2008 have wires for 7 pin trailer connector?

    Only if it has the optional tow package with the supposedly bigger radiator, trailer brake controller, 7 pin connector (obvious one in the back with the flip up lid), and the auto trans cooler.

    Alignment and dealer(s)

    I have been aligning my wheels with strings and bubble levels for about 50 years with NO problems, I can't remember the last time I had a shop do it. OK everybody squawk NOW!

    What take off rims will fit my 2010 EL

    I think the back spacing etc is the same but you would have to cut about 1/2" off your rear axles to clear the center caps.....what a deal! I have some PVD wheels that are losing "chrome" around the edge and I am trying to figure out the best way to repair them. I would use an angle grinder with...

    Operating 2014 Limited After Low Transmission Fluid?

    I agree, unless there is a ZF trans in it but that's not sealed either. The Ford "dipstick" is on the pass side towards the back and it's about 2"+- long.

    2014 Limited died on vacation yesterday

    I had AAA and used it one time when I ran out of gas but I had to wait an hour for them to give me exactly one gallon and I couldn't pay for any extra. That was the end of AAA.

    Operating 2014 Limited After Low Transmission Fluid?

    If you have the ZF transmission you will only have a fill hole but IDK if any of the Expys have that trans. They did put them in the Navigators for some reason.

    2015 - Engine cuts out going up hill with a load or pulling a trailer

    It's just that I don't believe in them. The Ford trucks already have a cold air intake and are engineered for the stock setup. They have more than enough air intake up to at least top RPM. The engineers aren't going to shortchange their own induction system. As for the plugs; the plugs can have...

    Is rotational play (excessive backlash) normal between wheel and cv axle

    A couple inches isn't much at 16" +- out from the center. I'm not seeing a problem here but I am tempted to jack mine up tomorrow to verify it.

    Is rotational play (excessive backlash) normal between wheel and cv axle

    And everything works perfectly? No clunks, 4wd problems, 4 auto problems, vibrations, etc? If you mark the tire, how far will it turn before turning the axle with just one side jacked up?

    I would change the plugs before going any farther and get rid if that K & N setup.

    Surprisingly clean sensors on Ecoboost

    The ones on my last 2 modular engines were clean at high miles too but I think it's common if you change your air filter on time and don't fall for that aftermarket cold air intake hogwash. IDK about the catch can advantage on your boosted motors..
