    04 F-150 driveline noise

    My 04 was making a bearing howl a while back and I changed the outer wheel bearings. Seemed ok. Now after driving a bit, I'll get a ratcheting noise in the front. I think I remember fixing one a few years back, but that was too many beers ago. Does it sound like the inner, four wheel engagement...

    Leveling kits

    I am wanting to install a leveling kit on my '04 F-150 lariat s-crew. I saw another post regarding a similar situation. However, There was never any mention of the size of the spacers used. I was thinking about going with a 2 1/2" in the front with the 1" rear blocks. Has anyone seen what the...

    Wind Chill

    The only factor that I could think of is if that wind was blowing sme snow and it somehow packed around some things. More than likely though this would give other concerns than a no start.

    codes 172,174; banks 1 & 2 running lean

    There are a lot of contributing factors to your issue. Without knowing what kind of scan tool you are using it is hard to say. If I encountered this problem with a customer vehicle I would be looking at o2 sensors, maf sensor, fuel trim and bare data to see why the ecu is correcting to lean...

    guys i realy realy dont know what the heck is going on.. Fuel (or something problem)

    Mr fixit is one the right track. Remember the basics here. The Kiss rule (keep it simple stupid). Any engine needs the basics, air fuel spark and compression. Whenever I run into a deal where I am told to replace the pcm I go back through my tests and make sure that is the correct conclusion...

    got some strange codes with engine off and key in Run position

    Right on. I usually just bypass the pump and find a different belt to fit, but do not like to give that advice. A lot of parts stores do not want to help you when it comes to finding the right belt, because they want to sell you a new part to fix your problem. F#%k them. Do what you gotta do.

    plug blow-out

    Again I am not trying to hate, but this week I am at the Minneapolis training site and asked about this particular subject without naming names. As I am told if Ford were to find out about this, with their TSB's being copyrighted, they would have the legal rights to sue you and ensure that you...

    Cant deside wich performance upgrade to get :( help me !

    The thing you have to look at here is if you are going to put a cam in it would be worthwhile to put in new bearings. A lot of parts stores will let you rent a cam bearing install for cheap and its not that hard to do. Just make sure you use assembly lube on the bearings. Do not be afraid to be...

    plug blow-out

    I am not trying to be rude here, but, as much as it is nice to share information with everyone, I am sure that Ford Motor Company would have some serious issues with anyone plagiarizing their tsb's on an unauthorized website.

    got some strange codes with engine off and key in Run position

    The cannister purge solenoid opens to vent the evap cannister. The thing that looks like a coffee can under the hood. If evap pressures get to high then you could notice a problem with fueling the truck. Most of the time the solenoids just get plugged with dirt or mud. Just replace and you'll be...

    Steering Line Up

    Fellro gave the right information but if you turned the lower drag link then you have set your toe, and probably incorrectly. You need to take it back to that shop and demand that they get it right. If they are a reputable shop they will do it. If they refuse, take it to a decent shop and file a...

    2008 Exhaust Tips

    They look good, but will they stand up to the heat. Also do they allow proper venting for the exhaust when the doc is in regen?

    Truth about tuners

    We don't see a lot of tuned trucks here but the ones we do see it seems like the customers loved what how the truck responded to being tweaked up until the time that something failed. I am not saying that all tuners are bad, I am just saying that I have never seen one that has not negatively...
