    Where to buy 2008 differential cover?

    Its really not that bad to pull the cover to drain the fluid, especially when the gasket is just sillycone. Think Ill rattle can my cover flat black. It would be nice for someone with a temp sender to post some before and after temps with steel cover and aluminum cover.

    head gaskets

    Here is my feeble attempt at understanding..... In order for your truck to go faster than stock you have to change the engines operating parameters (there are many ways to add more power than stock This is extremely simplified.). To add power you must add more fuel and air than factory...

    Or you could buy the Dynatrac kit which replaces everything with the non-unit bearing style.

    High engine OIL temp

    Replaced it. Its under the oil filter. Apparantly its not that uncommon for them to clog up. The tech wanted to check mine while it was towing, since thats when it was acting up. It sounded like the coolant passages clogged, not the oil passages.

    Tranny trouble

    So, the snapring was a forward drive clutch snapring, nothing ever mentioned in any TSB or recall. The tech said it was just a fluke failure. He had'nt seen any before and said these trannys (torqueshift) are pretty tough. Oh well three grand worth of oh well.

    Tranny trouble

    Thanks Patrickc, I appreciate the feedback. It seems as though they found a defect, in their own words call it a recall. The thing that burns me is ; I never plowed snow with this truck. I figured when I bought it that I would be able to use reverse. I guess we'll see if they stand behind it or...

    New truck, which one?

    I cant do anything about it right now, but I found one with only 87K, but its a flat bed, for 16,500 wow low miles. Now I just have to get my tranny fixed and sell my truck before I can go get it. How hard is it to find a good short bed, are F-150 short beds the same? Just thinking aloud. Thanks.

    New truck, which one?

    Im kinda torn between the good looks of the OBS and the newer looks, also good. If the engines are the same, I think I would rather have the old body style, just because there arent as many of them around. Are the 250 CC's all shortbeds, and the 350 CC's all long beds? What Kind of power could...
