    Big Drop in Fuel Mileage

    So My mileage has dropped from a consistent 17 to 12-14. I havent done anything to the truck, except installing a BTS trans about 6 months ago. I maintain my tire pressure monthly with little need for adjustment. I also know that a drop in mileage is expected with the heat in summer, but this is...

    Weak starting

    Ok, I crawled under the truck and found a broken starter housing bolt. They are the really long bolts that run parallel to the starter. I backed both housing bolts out to observe the inside of the starter and there was a lot of soot. I ran and got a new starter from O'rielly's Auto for $189 with...

    Weak starting

    Weak starting

    After my truck had been sitting for an hour after being driven, i got in and tried starting it and it took abnormally long to start. It started real slow in the beginning and then sped up and started. I checked all my switches and such and nothing had been left on. Mind you I have two motorcraft...

    Alignment or ball joints?

    Well, i climbed under the truck and watched him check them and the passenger side was tight as a whistle. I was kinda thinking that too that they should wear out together, but no need in replacing the passegers sode when they are tight right?

    Alignment or ball joints?

    My drivers front tire is wearing pretty bad on the inside. My tires are still in great shape despite being two years old and having 25000 miles on them. I had an alignment done right after having the tires installed. How can i tell if its an alignment issue or ball joints?

    Thanks. BCLA? yeah, i'm looking online as well and $300 is about the cheapest i'm finding. Might just say screw it and pay the $450 installed. But i'll keep looking.

    Replacement Shocks

    I have looked at both Bilstein and Rancho. I am looking at getting new shocks soon and can't decide which one. I see the great reviews on Bilstien. I like the thought of Rancho ride settings and remote. Does anyone have any input on whether Rancho last like the Bilstiens?
