    Gasoline smell, loss of fuel parked

    Mine was changed out when my transmission went bad (not related I know). After trans replaced it still wasnt running right so they replaced filter. Turns out the pump had failed but hey filters are cheap. One less 07 problem.

    Best RIM Size Selection for Off Road

    I agree with 17s. They are easier to find a good deal on just about any tire you choose and best for the reasons already mentioned. The general rule in tire size is less rubber in it means more expensive. Ask anyone who has had 20s and 17s.

    Picked up a Northstar X2 Power AGM battery today

    I have a battery tender 10w solar 12v charger and I like it. I use it on my optima yellowtop which is agm and leave it on the hood or bed all day. It has a charge controller built in and 10watts is kind of impossible to charge too fast.

    Is it worth downsizing the wheels and tires?

    I got falken wildpeaks on my GMC truck and they are E rated but its a 6" lifted old beast that rides like a stagecoach anyways so durability was my main concern. That thing hits river washouts like a champ.

    Is it worth downsizing the wheels and tires?

    E rated tires on an expy? Unless you are hitting trails hard where rocks are an issue they wouldnt be my first choice.

    Is it worth downsizing the wheels and tires?

    I guess I never liked the fact that the less tire you get the more it costs. A 22" wheel costs more for a tire than an 18" wheel. You already pay more for the wheel but at least its REALLY more wheel. Smaller wheels are also protected a little better against damage with more sidewall bulge. But...

    Is it worth downsizing the wheels and tires?

    Oldpaddy I dont think there is necesarily a link between the two in your case. Lots of factors involved. 17-18" wheels are generally regarded as the best all around size when you consider cost of tires, available options, rolling resistance(aka weight of wheel + tire), ride comfort, effect on...

    Yeeee Haw!! I've got problems...

    Cant go wrong with a 350. It'd be cool if they made an option like a 4.5' bed so it would be like the length of an excursion.

    Yeeee Haw!! I've got problems...

    Based on your situation I think replacing it all is a good idea. You are running "long, hard and wet" as they say on something that wasnt designed to do it 24/7. Also if it is covered under warranty make damn sure they dont use economy replacements or you'll be back soon. Last there is no shame...

    Yeeee Haw!! I've got problems...

    What year is yours? My 07 doesnt have a "rear upper control arm" it has like 4 little ones plus the rear lower control arm. Its like a spider holding that shit on.

    Light bar options in a 2010

    You could try these: http://www.4x4truckleds.com/30-single-row-light-bar-hidden-grille-mount-for-2009-2014-ford-f-150/ A lot of the f150 frame is shared and I believe someone in here already did this.

    Traction options?

    Adding a locker is a quick way to snap IFS/IRS shafts. Does the 2014 4wd not have control trac? i thought those worked decent? Anyways I would agree with choosing the right tire. Short of snow chains they are your best bet for traction on-road.

    Rear bumper guard hitch mount?

    I think I will mock up one with some cardboard to see if it activates the alarm. Im assuming the 07 has different sensor setup than a 17 but who knows.

    Protecting your rear end

    What about some dock bumpers bolted to some 2x4 square stock welded to a 2x2 hitch insert? Should give a little on impact.

    Key Programming

    Yeah I have an 07 and dealer wanted to charge $35 plus $160 for programming for a plain key. His service guy slipped me a card for a guy who does them. He had a programmer, tablet etc and 15 mins I was out for $80 total. I dont mind supporting local business if they do a good job and I tend to...
