Got the Treadwright Guardians mounted up and put on. So nice to no longer have the annoying vibration from the BadYears.

Oil & Filter change. Replaced the O2 sensor that was throwing a CEL every once in a while. I replaced the air suspension compressor about a month ago and it's working great. I just need to find out why I still get a "Check Air Suspension" message when I start the truck.

Hey! Cool!

Usually it's the other way around and can never find those in Metric. I may have to buy one just for that very reason.

Are you in the us? There isn't many details on tapatalk... Back in my ricer days I would always have to settle for aftermarket gauges that were in mph because those were the only ones on eBay lol.

Tell me about it... Im in Manitoba and we have had the worst winter in 100 years, and every winter is bad so to be the worst one it's really really bad. It was-40 with the wind chill from November till about a week ago.

And when it did warm up a bit, we got hit with blizzard after blizzard. I've never seen as much snow as I have this year, and I'm Canadian born and raised. There's no where to put the show anymore, I'm so sick of this ***t already...

Gave the big girl a wash, spray detail and cleaner her up. This was a tough winter and the leading edge of the hood took a beating so I did some touch up paint work too.

The good news is that with all of the stone/salt chips and Ford aluminum paint issues, repainting the hood will take care of both issues!:winner_second_h4h:

Well, not today, but this friday last

Drove into work nice and early, had a good drive in too.

About an hour later the big boss stops by my office with some `really bad news` for me...

My PS rear tire was no longer doughnut shaped, but was now a D

Yay, dead flat...


So after work out came the plug kit and 20 minutes later was back on the road. Gotta love those kits...

I replaced the radiator(was leaking from one of the sides that are plastic) don't know why they make the sides of the radiator plastic. So while I had the radiator out I went ahead and replaced the water pump, serpentine belt tensioner and the belt. Radiator was $95, pump $35, Belt $25, tensioner $25 all off ebay. Not bad for under $200 :)) The only 2 problems I had was getting the damn fan off the pump. Had to use a tool called a belt wrench ( a tool about 8inches long with a belt attached, which I didnt own but I do now) to hold the pulley on the water pump from moving so I could use a huge adjustable wrench to unscrew the fan. And the other was the lower radiator hose of course. Twist lock hose with 2 inches of space to work on it. I think if the motor ever goes I'll put in a rebuilt because I've replaced just about everything else on her lol

Oh and for that lower radiator hose, I did as a couple guys on here explained to do. Carefully cut through the plastic clamp on the lower hose(dont cut the hose) and you can slide off the hose and then use a metal screw clamp when you reinstall. Thanks guys for all the help!

Changed the oil yesterday...royal purple...definitely felt a difference in engine with running...a lot smoother is shifting once the oil had a chance to really work in good
