    Having some electrical issues!

    i'll get the batts checked then. But that sucks to hear. I bought the motorcraft batteries on the basis they were one of the best out there. I read a story on here where one guy in Alaska had two different trucks and had one set last 14 yrs and the other one lasted 18 yrs. Needless to say, that...

    Having some electrical issues!

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I will also run the checks mentioned above. My batts better not be going south as I have the motorcraft 850 that are about 2 yrs old. Well, I think I may have figured out the culprit. I recently installed a set of retrofit headlights with HID's from CT...

    Turbo ring snapped

    So tonight i snapped my turbo ring. I was in the process of loosening my entire exhaust because it was sitting on a bolt on my tranny crossmember. I previously had done this, stuck some wood between the exhaust and the frame to pry it away from the bolt and tightened it back down and it solved...

    F450 lift

    Hey guys, This question is for my dad. He would like to lift his 2008 F450 king ranch 6.4 2-4 inches with a quality product. He has looked at the kellerman air lifts and likes the thought of being able to lower and raise the height to suit his needs. Only problem is, he cant seem to find a...

    Sound Deadening build log

    Tonight, I had planned on running all my wiring for my amps, but the kit didn't arrive on time. So, I took some of the left over MLV and added a layer between the back of the seat and the seat cover. As I went to put the back seat in to test fit, I noticed that the MLV layer the I applied to the...

    Sound Deadening build log

    Finished the rear deck and back wall tonight. Here is what I ended up doing to baffle the rear cabin vents. Probably not the best way to do it, but it should still allow air to escape while blocking the rear sound. I had enough CCF leftover for the floor pans, so I treated the...

    Thanks for the tip. An that makes me wonder, where are the cab bolts for the front located? I have been trying to keep things like that in mind as I go along, and not hinder any future maintenance. But I didnt see any for the front as I did my install. I see the ones behind the rear seat and had...

    I was able to do the front half of the floor tonight with the MLV/CCF layers. Here are some pics of the MLV laid out with the CCF before I stuck the two together. I went ahead and made large combination sections since I would not be using the velcro on the floor like I did with the doors...

    Well, I managed to remove my seats and carpet today. I also did some test fitting with my new jumpseat. I did find that there are two extra holes for the rear mounts in the floor for the jumpseat, but they are not threaded like the others. So, looks like I will pick up some hardware to for it. I...

    Well, I didnt get to work on it tonight, but I did manage to find a gem on craigslist today and will be installing a center jumpseat(paid $100 for it!!) in place of my center console when I'm done. And picked up these fender flares off of an 06' Lariat for $75 as well. What do you guys...

    I managed to finish the other rear door tonight and remove my back seat in order to do the back wall and start on the floor. Hoping to be done with everything but the roof by this weekend. You can see the stock CLD tiles installed here. They are much thinner than the Audio Technix CLD...

    I did one of the rear doors tonight. I was going to try to do both, but discovered that my 6 yr old water heater in the attic was leaking and bulging at the seam!! So, had to put the other door on hold. Anyway, I took a few photos of the materials I have been using. I know this is kinda in...

    Hey guys, So I recently got back into car audio and I am in the process of installing an SQ(sound quality) system in my truck. I always wanted to do some type of sound treatment to my truck, and upgrading my audio system really energized me to do so. So, I have spent the past few months...

    Brake dragging?

    Ok. Thanks daveben. I figured something wasnt right there. Just did a price check here in town and oriellys had the best price at $56 with a lifetime warranty. I usually like to go with fomoco when i can, but i need it now and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

    Brake dragging?

    I just took the caliper off and had my buddy press on the brake slowly while I watched the pistons. Only the piston closest to the fluid inlet came out. The other one did not move. Does this indicate any type of malfunction?

    Brake dragging?

    So I recently replaced my brakes and rotors with parts from frozen rotors. Today, I noticed a smell coming from my truck right before I got it home. I also noticed before the smell, it was pulling to the left. And when I braked, also pulling to the Left. I think I may have a brake dragging. I...

    Ball joint replacement question

    Okay. I'm getting my passenger side ball joint upper and lower replaced. I got a quote from the Ford dealer for 700 including parts. Should they be charging me for an extra hour of labor to replace the seals since they're already going to have everything apart?
