    5.4 L engine

    i asked because I believe dealers that act that way should be made famous.

    not a recovery point

    i don't understand why anyone is "not sure what my question is". I actually typed these words in my post: "does anyone know what the load limit is for such components? " how are you confused? I would have thought spacing it out on a line by itself and finishing with a question mark would...

    not a recovery point

    A specific question? how about what I asked in my post: "does anyone know what the load limit is for such components?" like that? that's a direct copy from my original post. Please don't reword my question; I wasn't asking the best way... for anything. I asked a specific question. don't...

    power block

    I'd like to build an isolated power system, with an isolated battery, and a power block for wiring accessories; including some kind of automatic switching that charges both batteries but keeps the battery used for starting from being drained. anybody done anything like this?

    Strange things are happening

    I'm still leery of turbo motors in gas engines. they should have fixed the problem by now, but I was there when turbo motors started creeping into the mainstream; they were generally short-lived. they weren't being built for the higher load, then. after so many years of 100K motors, it's just...

    headers

    what's your source for that? the only shorty header's I've ever seen were clearly not "remanufactured factory header," ... by any chance were you referring to an exhaust manifold? if not, which "factory header" are you talking about? in my experience factory headers are few and far between. I'm...

    if you're asking me, i haven't done anything with the lights yet. there are some side markers, but the FD pulled all that wiring when they de-milled it. all i know is that when i do get lights, they'll be inexpensive LEDs. inexpensive, because lights tend to get destroyed fairly quickly, in my...

    i have the OEM boards on it now - it's a second gen SSV - but when i replace them it will be with a set of rock sliders. I'll have to consider the side spacing in the design. I'm considering installing an entire exterior cage on it because one of my best friends is a master welder and refuses to...

    Dents, dents and more dents

    one of the first trucks I had looked like a frankentruck. it had been in a collision with a barbed wire fence, then abandoned. When i got it, i had to repair some light body damage to the front which involved bolting together a good size piece of the grille - my wife said it looked like the bolt...

    Dents, dents and more dents

    i wired a couple of claymores to the fenders, making sure the "Front Toward Enemy" wording is visible. I highlighted the lettering with my daughter's silver day-glo rave nail polish. seriously, twice last year people approached me as I was leaving my truck and accused me, in a PA way, of...

    after a lot of research, i decided i could go to a set of 285/75/17 tires without having to touch the suspension. these are 33.8 inches tall and increased ground clearance by 1.1 inches over OEM, taking me to right at 10" of ground clearance. i did that for two reasons - there are damn few...

    catch can benefit

    you are dishonest. the question has yet to be answered, so you cannot honestly claim I know everything. which catch can vendor do you work for? or are you just justifying the money you spent because I've made you realize you have no clue what you got for your money? I honestly wish you the best...

    catch can benefit

    Never mind. obviously, the catch can is yet another myth.

    catch can benefit

    you are ignoring the question: " want to know how many miles of increased engine life i get." if you want to talk about "measurable benefits" you claim, please don't pretend you are responding to me. FYI - I'm not spending any money now to "clean carbon". I've never spent a penny on that; every...

    catch can benefit

    I have not been clear, i see. I understand there is a potential benefit. I want to know how beneficial it is. If i’m going to pay x dollars, i want to know how many miles of increased engine life i get. That way i can determine whether it is a wise expenditure. If it’s too hard to understand...

    If this is the wrong place to post questions about recovering stuck vehicles, please let me know where I should be posting. I'm adding recovery equipment to my offroad kit. I can find a kinetic strap/rope with a MBS of over 200,000 pounds, which makes me wonder about shackles, etc. ultimately...

    catch can benefit

    I've seen the videos. nobody will tell you how many more miles it has shown in actual real world tests. i get that it catches oil. I do not dispute that. what is the actual, measurable benefit to my motor? it's a simple question, that nobody actually answers. makes me skeptical. actually, by...

    Should I change my transmission fluid?

    i thought the changeover was in '08?

    2007 Flush and fill? Anyone done it with high miles? PLEASE READ ASAP

    I've often heard that, but don't know of any real cases. FWIW, in the auto maintenance classes I've taken, I was taught that if a problem appears after a fluid change, it's because the old fluid was hiding it, assuming the right fluid, filter, etc. if a fluid change reveals issues, it means you...
