    ProComp tires

    I have had 3 sets of the X-terrains on my X in 6 years. The look awesome and dig like Taliban trying to get out of G-Mo. Road Ride in the beginning is great, but after a year, I started to get some balancing issues. Now they sound and feel like tractor tires. :eek: They last about 20-30K miles...

    Help Needed Altenator Problems AGAIN

    You do not have to loosen anything to get the belt off. If you are looking at the belt tensioner (from the front of the truck). There is a Silver pulley to the left of the fan. Towards the bottom there is a square hole that's a 1/2" ratchet will fit in perfectly. I use a 24" Long -1/2 drive...

    Will a bad altenator throw any Codes

    I will check the belt tonight and look for some codes. The belt looked good and didn't have any oil or anything on it when I pulled the altenator. The Tensioner had pretty good tension when I removed the belt also. But I am ready to try anything at this point! Thanks Brett

    Help Needed Altenator Problems AGAIN

    X is acting up again, looks like I will have to replace something, but what? I think it must be the batteries. The altenator is putting out voltage, but last time I replaced it they said that with the bad diode that it would show voltage but no amps. But I hope that the Autozone test would catch...

    Help Needed Altenator Problems AGAIN

    Yes, you are correct. It was battery water/acid from an old battery that I did not use. (They make you fill up your own smaller batteries at Walmart). Good catch CHP! They are Motorcraft batteries and I got them in Jan 2006. I believe that I seen 36months somewhere on them, when I had them...

    Help Needed Altenator Problems AGAIN

    Long story short, I tested the altenator, it was OK. Took out and tested the batteries. They tested ok (but the guy testing them, didn't know which color was positive:eek:). I filled the batteries with water, cleaned the post and charged the batt's and re-intalled everything. Said my prayer and...

    Milwaukee 18V Batteries

    Anyone using the Milwaukee cordless 18V batteries? I use mine 1 time a month and I am on the 3rd battery in 3 years. These do not last anything like my Makita did. It appears that something must short inside, because I can measure across the terminals and get 0 Volts. Has anyone seen a fix or a...

    Damn that does seem heavy. The X weighs in at 8440# with all of my added steel and suspension and I thought that was bad.

    Sway Bar for Lifted trucks?

    I broke the stock Hellwig adjustable bracket in 2. I went to 4wheelparts and they ordered me one from Superlift. I think it is part of their kit. Compared with the stock one from Hellwig, it was twice the size. Hey Bill, do you know if a stock F-350 4x4 end-links would work? I think it...

    Stiff Steering issues

    I don't have the paperwork, but I think installed it was around $300. Make sure you get greasable ball-joints. I think the OEM are still not servicable. you can probably get the parts for $150 or so.I want to say that the original ones were riveted in and you had to drill the rivets out. Maybe...

Would not start not, tried my key and my factory ford key, change program to stock, let it sit for hours, still no start...

    Stiff Steering issues

    I have went a little overboard when changing my power steering fluid. I add a little to much Lucas to the fluid, it made it so thick during the winter you could barely turn it. I had to drain off some and put in standard power steering fluid. then it worked fine. I also had my ball joints...

    stolen truck

    Your getting old like me Bushpilot:tounge . We mentioned earlier to leave the lock disconnected from the key/tumbler as a form of security. I said that they may breakout a window like they do on the other vehicle and there is not really a 100% way to protect it. One of the reasons they use the...

    Bearing Noise

    Jack up the side that is making noise and see if there is play/movement by grabbing the top and bottom of the tire and pull up, down, out and in. You will be able to tell if there are bearing problems. If there is a problem, I would not drive on the interstate for 35miles. When mine went bad it...
