    On 5.4l - Can't locate plugs, plug wires, etc.

    the coils are held on by either a 8 or a 10 mm mini bolt, hightly recomend spraying them, then slowly removing, if you hit a tight spot turn back in a little spray again and back out, or move to next one and come back to it, they break easy, you will also need a thin wall plug socket with a...

    Lift question

    i need to stay narrow to run the 36 inch in that style of tire or they will rub,and they are very aggressive tires it would just shred everything, I may be able to go a little wider, but not much, and the narrow tires help in the snow and mud, more spliting and less pushing, unless i do some...
