    Oil Change Experience............

    The saga continues.........today I saw a few drops of oil on the driveway so I looked underneath and saw oil coming off the filter. I should have just put a wrench on it and tightened it myself but I didn't. Took it back to Jiffy-Lube and told them to give it an 1/8 of a turn. The 300#...

    HUBS...to lock or to unlock?

    To summarize........your front tires don't become a driven element in the drive train until two things happen. 1) You engage the hubs via the vacuum system or manually with the selector switch on the hubs(turned clockwise). This locks the axle to the hub. 2) The front drive shaft engages...

    HUBS...to lock or to unlock?

    You can......it will engage the axles, increase friction and reduce your fuel mileage. It will also put more working time on the rotating parts.....reducing their life span slightly. Tbar On edit.......when you turn the selector switch on the hub you are manually engaging the hubs. This...

    AFE Filters........

    Sorry.........I should have been clearer. This is going on a 2002 7.3L and the stock filter system is decidedly a very poor design which allows dirt to bypass the filter. Tbar
