Hey folks -- I'm trying to figure out why my truck has a 2-piece driveshaft WITH a slip-yoke transfer case... It seems weird for my driveshaft to have 2 slip yokes, especially because the carrier bearing is fixed to the chassis so the front yoke never really moves 🤔 Theory: this truck started as...

Hey folks smilieFordlogoAnyone aware of another buzzer/beeper in these trucks aside from the door chime? I'm getting an intermittent beeping that sounds like a continuity test on a multi-meter-- beeps vary in length from very short to sometimes drawn out, and it seems to be driven by driving...

Hey folks, I recall a long while back that one or more of you recommended buying ESP online as opposed to through my dealer (honestly it was probably Brad that told me this).I'm thinking I might buy ESP for the mustang, warranty is running out in a month. Is this a sound thing to do? Exactly...

Hey guys, anyone got a good source for torque specs on a 95 F150? I used to know where to find this type of stuff but it's been too long... I need the torque spec for the following items:- Spindle stud nuts (the ones that attach the spindle to the knuckle) - Spindle nuts (the 4-prong nuts that...

Bertha developed a squeak a couple months ago and since I don't drive it more than a few miles a week I've been slacking on tracking it down. This weekend I found it... Opened my hub and there were metal shavings EVERYWHERE. Not good...I rocked the wheel yesterday and knew I had found the...

It's been a long time since I have ordered truck parts and I've forgotten a lot of the good websites... I recall there was a site that sold NOS Ford parts but I can't remember the name. Something Restoration? It's not Green Sales company that I'm thinking of...I'm in need of wheel well...

Well after a long hiatus from working on trucks I want to try to get back into it. I helped my buddy Rick drop a motor back in his bronco last week and after talking shop about lifts and big tires I've got the bug again. Hoping an official build thread might motivate me a bit ;)First thing I...

Bertha is mad at me for buying the black truck...Went up to Newcastle late last night to pick up Bertha-- was planning on driving her home this morning. Well I drove her to get gas last night to ensure all was well before the trip -- go back near home and juiced it. Immediately smelled...

I'm not hopeful that I'll be able to sell such an expensive vehicle private party, but it's worth a shot after what the dealership offered me :headbang:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/2973562802.html

Washed the EB today and figured you guys were just DYING to see some more poser shots :D (humor me, huh?)Also drove Bertha, got her fluids good and circulated. I could tell Betty was jealous when I fired up Bertha in the driveway :rofl:

So this has been going on for several months and I was hoping it would iron itself out but it's not getting fixed. I can't reliably browse the forum from my iPhone or iPad... About 95% of the time when I click on new posts or Today's Posts I get this message:Sorry - no matches. Please try some...

So as you guys know, I put the BakFlip tonneau cover on my truck a few months ago. Well the BakFlip conveniently turned my entire truck bed into a giant locking trunk. But anytime I wanted to lock stuff back there, I had to manually insert my key into the tailgate and lock it. Not to mention...

Here's a video showing how it works: RXxkpprdKCMAwesome product. Got it for $744 shipped from worldwideperformance on eBay. Excellent seller-- fast shipping and it arrived exactly as described.My only complaint so far is the damned glow in the dark plastic emergency handle on the first...

Love it! :DHQGqt_tfi6Y

So I've got about 3400 miles on the new truck and I think it's well broken in. At 65mph on a flat highway I can easily achieve 20.5 mpg for extended periods of highway driving and I think if I could really get on a flat highway (bay area is fairly hilly) then I could probably hit 21 mpg no...

Took some decent pics of the new truck at my moms place so I figured I'd start a thread for what I so best-- Whoring pics :DShow off your gen 12s!

Bertha got a long deserved bath. I was punishing her for blowing that intake gasket :DSomeone's peeking in this one :D

I think I have decided what I want to do for the EcoBoost. Nothing super soon, but my eventual plans:- 2" Leveling kit (probably Bilstein 5100 ride adjustable shocks)- 275/65R20 Wrangler DuraTracs (Roughly 34x11)Other small things I need to do: - Line-X - Remove pull bar from tailgate...

Because SHE'S BACK FROM THE DEAD!WPlBf4dgN6g

What do you guys think about these?http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/lifted-truck-off-road/5100-series-ride-height-adjustable.htmlThey are Bilstein 5100 shocks that allow for leveling out my truck by preloading the coils and also providing more travel in the shocks. But that's the dumbed...

This happened on my way back from my mom's place last night (~150 mile trip)So it was kind of a funny story... On the drive up, I average my usual 17-18 ish... And I drove around a bit up there before turning back the next day, mileage stayed about the same. On the way out of town, I...

Looking into some exhaust for the new truck. I don't want it to be loud and obnoxious (read: fart-can muffler) but I do want some good tone. So far I've found 2 different systems being offered:Magnaflow: SIvooVYaTFsHeartthrob Exhaust: CKOb8mPYV2EAny opinions about exhaust on a V6?

Finally got a driveway to use so I can replace the lower intake gasket in Bertha tomorrow. She's been parked in the garage for I think over a month now :(Anyway-- shouldn't be a big deal but I've got one question to anyone who has taken off the lower intake before. The instructions from my...

The time has come guys. My new truck will be here in 2-3 weeks and I won't have room for Bertha anymore :( I haven't 'officially' put her on the market yet because I want to give first dibs to all the forum members. I'd prefer to sell it to someone I know, so I can keep track of her and make...

Tonight she's staying the night with another man...The window tint guy :D Yup! She's gettin a re-tint. The old stuff was getting real old and had turned purple and started to bubble (a recent development). Removing the old and putting on the new was an all day job so he locked my truck...

Brad and Bonnie will kill me when they see that I'm announcing thatIT'S THEIR BIRTHDAY TODAY!! bigdance bigdanceYes they do, in fact, have the same birthday. Brad is turning something like 94 and Bonnie is turning... erm... 28 (how am I doing Bon? :wavey: )Happy birthday you two...

At Apple that is... Talked to my manager yesterday and he wants to bring me back full time after I graduate this December. Wooo!

So I just got Bertha smogged and she did well except for the 15mph test on the HC-- passed by only 2 PPM. Here's the report:From what I understand, this means I'm running a little lean. Is this a telltale sign of any specific problem or do I need to start hunting? It shouldn't be that...

First off-- hi everyone! Its been a while since I've been posting, I know... The Apple internship is keeping me CRAZY busy. Hope all is well with all of you. I saw that Tex left so at least SOME stuff is improving around here :DAnywho-- I've been fighting a slight vac leak in my truck since I...

...at Apple and they haven't broken me yet :)I'm LOVING it so far, and making buku bucks to boot. Having a lot of fun but barely any free time-- that's okay though :)
