    00 front clunking

    I have had a similar clinking noise in the frontend as well. I have replaced everything and believe i have in narrowed down to the leaf spring bushings.

    Help Needed How to remove F-250 Front Rotors

    I would recommend putting some heat where the bolts and threaded into the casing.Those bolts are tightened with lock-tite from the factory, andyou may need a little heat to help break them free. No needto get it red hot, just warm.

    no rear running lights

    I had the same issue on a 2002 F150 that i owned previously. It ended up being the multifunction switch (turn signal) in the steering column. I wouldnt have believed it if I hadnt seen it in the wiring schematic myself. I know it sounds crazy, but worth checking into.

    Suspension popping??

    Forgot to mention that I had also changed the trac bar bushings as well. The only thing left are the spring bushings, which im told are not replacable, and possibly the spring hangers.

    Im curious about the edge performance chip settings

    Call me crazy, but it sounds like a very good possibility that the "check engine" light may be comming on for an over boost sitiuation. Especially since he said it seem sto come on more so when he's driving aggressively with it on the top setting.
