    Bump Steer

    I have a 2018 F250 with almost 5000 miles on it. All of my Fords have had a steering stabilizer and this one doesnt. Bumps will move the wheel more than I am used to. Bumps my Challenger doesnt react to. I have looked at putting an aftermarket stabilizer on it but no one makes it without...

    2018 box lights

    I just got a 2018 F250. The box lights leak into the box. When I was on a dirt road looking for an old hunting cabin I had mud running down from the lights. I am putting a topper on and want to seal them so the box doesnt get wet. What have any of you done or suggest? Thanks

    Question 2001 Excursion transmission no forward gear

    I have a 2001 Excursion with 24K on the rebuilt transmission. The trani shop that rebuilt it has gone out of business due to health issues. History, I have manual lock outs due to vacuum leak in the system for the auto-hubs. If I run in 4x4 for long periods of time the heat goes to mix...

    Question Heater control

    I come to the guru's of Ford again! My 2001 X 7.3 is only blowing heat in defrost mode. Vac pump sucks but the heat module that moves when you change from defrost to heat doesnt. It will snap into defrost mode fast. If I manually pull up on the rod it will sit in heat but once I turn...

    Front end noise after hitting a bump

    Today my Ex started to make a terrible sound from the front left wheel area. I hit a good pot hole. Hey it's Michigan Roads! The Ex made this horrible sound like splines not enguaging. Not a gear grind. More of a loud medium pitched whir. Now it will do this when ever I hit a bump. I can...

    Rear End Whine

    Picked up a rear end whine recently. Comes on at about 65mph and gets softer the faster you go. Sound goes away if you find the right throttle position to float the drive train - remove presure. No vibrations. Gear lube is topped off. Axle bearings look good on each end. I'm thinking...

    Oil Anti-Scuff Compounds

    A friend of mine was saying that the oil we are buying will soon not have the same anti-scuff compounds in it and that the new compounds, that are more catalytic converter friendly, are not as effective. He was advising me to use power service's oil addative. Have any of you heard this...

    Front Axle's Not Engaging

    Hey guys! I need some advice. When I put my 2001 Ex in 4x4 the front end isnt locking in. The lockouts are automatics that at one time you could chose to manually lock, but they are stuck in the auto position. I popped them off yesterday and took the lockouts a part and they looked...
