2008 F350 5.4l While I was removing the passenger side exhaust manifold I stupidly notched out the sheet metal on the engine mount bracket to fit my stud remover onto the bottom of #3 port. Is that a structural piece or a heat shield for the mount? I know I messed up but just need to know if I...

I have a 2008 F350 5.4l. It says 5/07MFG on the door sticker. I wanna change the plugs and the boots. 120k miles on it now.When I look up my vin# to check the OEM part I get 2 different plug numbers. 509 and 546.I have the black boots if that helps. Just wanna know which plugs to...

Just an update. The External filter that sits in front of the pan was easy peasy to replace. Took my time and cleaned off all the fittings and wire brushed them. You have to use 2 wrenches. One on the fitting attached to the filter and one for the line. I was worried that I would lose a lot...

Hello Forum, I wanted to make anyone aware that doesn't know, this is a potential killer.I stepped on the brakes to put the truck in park and I heard a pop and the brake pedal felt like it broke and went to the floor. Put it in park, popped the hood and saw brake...

I just kept the pan I had and changed the inner filter. Any idea how to change that external filter in front?

Update.... My driver side wheel hub bearing must have been on the outs and finally threw an abs code. Installing both sides with new Timkens.

dustybumpers - What did you do to remedy this? Could it be a vacuum leak somewhere else? I haven't checked all the hoses yet. strange how it started after installing the Rancho 9000 series front shocks.

I did the pedal press down test. Engine off and press pedal a few times till pedal was hard and kept pressure on it, then started the engine and the pedal went down. Any other things to check. I looked over vac lines which all seemed ok. Possible the caliper has just crapped out?

Hello Forum - 2008 F350 4x4 5.4l gasser I replaced all 4 calipers about a year ago and put on new pads. I also replaced both front rubber hose brake lines and flushed the system with new fluid. System has been operating great until recently. I added new front Rancho 9000 series shocks and...

Sparkey83 How can I tell what pan I have? As in my first post of this thread I find 2 different numbers and not on the pan itself. One number in raised characters on the case and a different number on tag tacked to the case. I understand Ford has an "Engineering number" as well. My 07...

Sparky83 Thanks for that. I fouund out from web surfing that some 2008 models are "Crossover" models. Mine is one of those. The external filter in front of the pan means you have the old style pan. So even tho I have a 2008 model I do not have the newer pan and filter. FORD!:guns:Ok now...

Sparkey83 Great info thanks. My transmission, according to my code on the door jam says I have a Torqshift.(TR=T) 05/07 MFD. Date Now on the Transmission case in raised characters it says: RF-8C3P-7006(the 6 may be a zero I can't make it out but looks more like a 6) Now also on the transmission...

So after watching a bunch of youtube videos on my transmission filter change I ran across a guy "upgrading" his Transmission pan and filter on a 2007 to a 2008 version. He said to get this filter as it was much better: FT-180-8C3Z-7A098-D When I went to Ford Parts department they gave me this...

I bet when I remove these they will slide like a trombone'badachang'..lol I'll post back...

Fellro, Thanks, I checked again and the auxillary spring is on top. It only comes into play when max weight is on and everything else looks stock. The crusty OEM shocks look very long extended without the bed weight on the back. Should I wait till I have the bed weight on back or can I...

Hello, I have an 08 F350 Extended Cab with 8 foot bed. The truck was set up for a camper from the previous owner. The front doesn't look altered but the rear has the "Auxillary" spring with a space under it. My question is, before I order new shocks, does this affect the shock size I need...

BKW thank you. I actually ordered it cheaper through Johnson City Ford in Tenn for $135. Go figure. ALL the "online" stores advertise they have it but they don't. I was told by 3 different parts places that Ford discontinued the part. Also: Ford parts are priced differently from...

So for the record:Check with Ford Dealerships for parts and price....and try different dealerships as they are NOT all the same price. I thought looking for the ebay price would be my best choice. Called Johnson City Ford and my part will be here in 5 days....and the cost is cheaper than ebay...

dustybumpers.....Thanks but same ole song and dance. They look in a computer at availability and tell me it's discontinued....even though they are still "Selling" it on their page.

Please Please Please! someone in Ford land HAS to have this part. 4 times now I have purchased this from ebay and after a week each time I have had my order cancelled due to the fact that most of these ebay parts companies use the same warehouses and they tell me it's unavailable. Now I am...

Sparky83.....The Droman Kit consists of ONLY the inner crossmembers and hardware. Depending on if you have a 6 or 8 foot bed you will get 3 or 4 piece kit. However the Front and Rear Sills DO NOT come with the kit. Here is a video I made of the rotted sills and crossmembers...

Tascaparts is another online parts place that deals from the same warehouses as many other online parts "stores".I have the rear sill but 2 times I have bought the front sill from others on ebay only to be told after a few days that the part is unavailable.Any other direction the Forum may...

polarbear thank you

All my crossmembers are rotted out but the bed is fine. Ordered the dorman corssmember kit for my 8' bed and there are no Front or Rear Sill offered by them.Here are the #s: 8C3Z-9910608-B Rear Sill 3C3Z-9910610-BA Front SillIs there some insider trade secret to why these 2...

Ordered the Dorman Kit. RA had it for $283 with the shipping. Only problem is that it doesn't come with the 'Front Sill or the Rea Sill'. I even called Dorman but no real answer or recommendation as to what to do about the Sills.Any recommendations for buying online?

My truck doesn't pull for junkfood but it did turn out to be one of the front brake hoses. My parts came and I installed them today. Turns out mine was the 22.63" also. Victory at last. Thanks for everyones input. Mucho Apreciated!

So the brake lines came in and I installed them. The 22.63" lines were the ones. Thanks for the help and hope this solves someone elses problem down the line. 2008 Ford F-350 Superduty 4WD 5.4L Supercab 8 foot bed.

I ordered them and will give a final input here once I get them on. Thanks again for your response and time. Much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. Are you positive about this. I mean it does make sense. Still on the O really web sight they have both lenghts listed as 4WD and the other stores don't even mention rear or 4wd. I am really amazzed at the research I have had to go through for something so common as...
