Haven't you learned anything from your wife yet! Ask her, she will tell you that you can never have to big of a tool. smilietease

It appears you are on the right track Duncan. You could always peen them the old fashioned way by hand with a hammer & Bucking bar but you would have to develop your technique so you could work fast. Some have modified a ram from a hydraulic jack or press and made a c-clamp arrangement. As far...

This is an automotive discussion forum based on the sharing of facts, not the spreading of inaccurate and incorrect information as you have tried to do numerous times in this thread. Furthermore, it has nothing to do with American & European differences nor the Kyoto protocal, it has everything...

This is both fundamentally false and incorrect! The air pump does not have enough pressure to push air the opposite direction of the exhaust stream, nor will the air stream defeat the basic laws of physics. When the air pump is injecting air into the exhaust system the exhaust temperature rises...

Exactly, spot on. smilieIagree smiliewhathesaid

Well if he has a currently updated AE program he needs to sit down with a factory shop manual and run all of the diagnostic tests listed step by step for the symptoms & codes he has. There are multiple things that can be causing this from bad injectors, low fuel pressure, bad sensors, etc. The...

smilieIagreeA paint thickness meter is a nice tool to have but as Austin said they are a little spendy. DeFelsko is the gold standard but prices start at $500 & go up. www.defelsko.com/applications/paintmeter/automotive-paint-detailing.htm...

Well just re-painted the hood on my mom's 2006 Grand Marquis, paint was coming off in sheets, have a 1998 Ranger paint is peeling off the hood, cowl & roof. Painted far to many Ford, GM & Chrysler with clear failure & paint lifting & peeling.

I wish this was limited to one manufacture, but all of the big three suffer from this problem routinely, mainly do to the EPA restrictions and the factories trying to paint for the lowest cost.:headbang:

Todd, not wanting to rain on your mechanic friends parade, but if he does not have access to a Ford Dealer computer or own an Auto Enginuity package to analyze and test all the differnet systems both in KOEO & KOER plus pull all codes he is just going to be throwing parts at it. The days of...

Exactly smilieIagree And lets not forget that the 5th wheel rating on a 2011 F250 is 14,400 & F350 SRW 15,700 but these values are based on the lightest weight cab & acccessory configurations, as the cabs get bigger and you upgrade the trim package the usable weight goes down quickly.Also if...

Don't want to rain on your parade, but I am not sure if any F350 SRW is rated to tow your trailer. A 38' fiver can easily weigh 16-17k which will push you into an F350 DRW or F450.Have you weighed your truck & trailer on a multiplate CAT scale to see what everything (FGAW, RGAW, trailer weight...

First off welcome to FTFIt "may be" a "direct quote" from the FMC consumer "build it" website but it is an incorrect statment, probably mis-typed by $5 dollar an hour part time worker they hired to input data. The 10,000 GVWR package on an 2011 SRW F350 PSD is a de-rate of its standard GVWR...

Sent you the correct VIN in a PM.Thank You Vince
