    Injector Question

    The 6.0 injector is not like most other injectors. The can last 300k or 1k miles with no real reason. They are most sensitive to fuel and oil quality. I have always gone by the 50% rule with them. If there are 2 or more bad in one back, change four. If there are 4 or more bad on the truck...

    Motorcraft battery

    The higher the CCA the more plates. The more plates the thinner they are. The thinner they are the more fragile they are. Simple battery math! I have a set of the motorcraft 850's and can start my truck just fine on the coldest days here in NJ. Back in my younger days working at NAPA we had...

    Engine belt and radiator hose

    I did it that way on mine just once. Like posted above, change the hose. If you just go order a hose for the truck you will most likely get the one that goes behind the belt anyway since it fits both styles it has replaced the through the belt hose. Ken
