    Sinister Oil cooler good? bad?

    Just checking in and thought I would add my 2 bits. When I changed my cooler out with the Sinister solutions kit in fall 2012, the oil cooler was a FORD oil cooler. It came in a Ford Box with Ford Instructions and seals..

    Sad Sad Day I traded the F250

    I still miss the diesel clacking but do enjoy the 19.4 MPG for the last 850 miles at 70 MPH. I wish they would come up with a diesel 1/2 ton with better mileage.

    I know the feeling. I traded on the EcoBoost on the 26th. Just couldn't justify the need for a Superduty. I went with the White and Gold. I don't like the front tag not in the center to allow the air flow.

    Sad Sad Day I traded the F250

    Drove by the ole Superduty this morning as I left Asheville. The tranny shop had it up on the rack. They said the torq converter was ful of clutch debris damage was worse than first estimated. I hated to leave it there but had to move on. On a brighter note the new truck pulled the Harley home...

    Sad Sad Day I traded the F250

    I got about 10K and they paid the shop bill. I probably could have gotten a little more on a private sell had the transmission been repaired but probably only a couple of thousand more at best. I think the deal worked out relaatively well considering the circumstances.

For the last 3 weeks it had bellowed black smoke 4 times and 2 days ago the transmission slipped. Transmission was shot as per the shop. Bad things...

    New Hub Unit Assembly Installed

    What size? My Regular deep well would not get to it due to the dust shield even when turning the hub left and right. A thin wall deep well would have barely gotten by the dust shield to get on the nut.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Put on a new Driver's front hub unit assembly. Old one was shot. I'm afraid the right one will want to go out now.

    New Hub Unit Assembly Installed

    Was hearing aloud roar from the driver's front hub. Jacked it up and checked for top to bottom slack with a gut shake. Sure enough it wiggled. Tried to take the hub off myself last night but culd not get to the 4 bolts that hold the unit on. I know you have to turn the hub all the way to the...
