    What seats will interchange??

    I have a 2003 XLT FX4. The seats are fairly basic, cloth, 2 tone. I would like to upgrade the front seats with something with more comfort, side bolster etc. I am even open to recovering the right seats with Katskinz leather. Are any of the F150 years/seats bolt in, especially the later years??

    rusted transmission cooling lines

    keep both lines disconnected at the radiator and aim them into a bucket, start the truck for 1-2 seconds, you will be able to see which line is pumping fluid, keep that line feeding into the empty bucket, put the other one into a container of all your new fluid to suck up as it pumps out the old

    2nd Gen rear lower control arm bushings

    I started hearing knocking in the back. Jacked it up, pry bar under the wheel and sure enough the rear lower busing is worn. Has anyone replaced just the bushing? Did you use a ball joint type c clamp press to press it in there?

    rusted transmission cooling lines

    if you are replacing the lines from trans to cooler and back and doing a service at the same time you will probably need more than 12-13 qts as I would drain the TC as well, if you plan on doing any towing a larger cooler wouldn't hurt. This whole upgrade is soon on my list as well as Jmod

    Anyone have the GoRhino grill guard on their 2nd gen?

    I am thinking of adding the GoRhino 3000 to my '03 FX4, I am wondering if you are able to retain the front tow hooks as it seems to mount to the frame using those holes although I did see one pic where they retained the tow hooks but was unsure if it was a goRhino or if they were fabbed on...

In that vid he recommends replacing the oil pump with melling M360 which when I try to search for a 2v (my truck is an 03) it says its the wrong pump and doesn't appear to list one of the...

    Procharged 24V 5.4 Expy?

    I was going to ask a similar question as the OP, did a search, this OLD thread came up so I will just bring it back from the dead. Being that the 03 has the 4r70w how would that hold up to the additional power? Also, when buying the complete kit, what is included? Procharger wasn't much help as...
