    Alternator output voltage

    400$ for a battery. No thanks. It’s 140 (220 retail or so) my cost for a tested 1100CA mtpHD-65 interstate. That will last 6-7 years. I’ve never even herd of a north star. And a warranty coverage at most any repair shop with interstate.

    4x4 lowering

    300 doesn’t sound good for a coil over kit. Sounds too cheep to me. Lift blocks are different. That’s what I did. 3” front 2.5” back. Sits perfect with the 33” tires.

    Tires - Any Experience With BFG Trail Terrain?

    Just put them on mine. So far so good about 500 miles. I took off the 275-60r20. And went back to stock. With the 3.31 ratios it didn’t work out was only getting 17 on highway. Back up to 19-20.

    I’d drop in a used engine. Same thing. Don’t complicate things. There’s plenty of low mileage ones out there.

    Transmission slipping/OD light blinking/Whining noise

    Scan it for codes. Multiple issues with those transmissions. If it slipping it’s prob too late. Overhaul it. Put in a shift correction kit at the same time. With the updated torque converter control valve. Locks up much faster with less slipping with a load. Mpg won’t change tho. Lol.

    ECM replacement

    Pull fuel rail and turn key on, don’t crank. See if the injectors are leaking. Could be time for plugs and coils too. I’ve had good luck with bravex ignition coils from Amazon. But oem are best.

    Drastic drops/returns of oil pressure (5.4L 3v 2009)

    Full Timing job and pull the oil pan and clean it out. But before you do that. Pull one of the cam bearings off and make sure it’s good. Also what oil filter do you use. I’ve had more ecoguard filters clog up in 2-3 k miles. They are junk. Stick with OEM, Mann or Hengst. My 05 I run with...

    Noisy 5.4 3v

    Sounds like a phaser My 05 did that. It will eventually fail and be catastrophic. They prob used cheep one in the rebuild. Pull the valve cover and put a wrench on the cam. See if you can turn it with out the gear turning. Request oem ones. More money but don’t fail. Make sure the chain...

    Moog front hubs any good?

    Do NOT use Moog they have a lifetime replacement warranty but you will spend a lifetime replacing them. I gave up on any Moog parts 15 years ago. I use WJB or SCHAEFFLER for wheel bearings from Rockauto. I’ve had 0 issues with them.

    5W-20 Ford recommended oil

    I put 5-30 full synthetic in my 05. It burns some so it helps in that. Started doing it at 140k. Now has 193k. Every 5k miles I change it. Add a quart about every 800-1000 miles.
