You could use Motorcraft Air Intake and Valve Cleaner part number RU2J-19G295-C. (takes 2?). Follow the instructions on the can. Ford product, Ford approval?

I loved your post. I've been there and done that. I did exactly what you did w1th the exception of vehemently cussing myself out because I know better and I am a perfectionist. Fortunately my incidents are rare. And, hey, crap happens.

The ball joint is held in place by a threaded bolt that doesn't have a castellated nut with a cotter pin. Ford went cheap. Your life depends on the bolt never coming loose. I guess the torque needs to be checked at service intervals. Ford (and others) lowers their costs by transferring work and...

I like the color but the wife (boss) said no.:crying: I like to sleep comfortably at night.

The advisory says visually inspect. The TSB would be helpful. In the meantime, get one wheel off the ground and check the control arm at the ball joint. Grab the arm and tug it in all directions, up, down, sideways. Any movement you have a problem. Sometimes, there is no movement and the ball...

In case it hasn't been posted (tried to read all posts, this thread): https://www.toptiergas.com/#stations. This site will tell you which stations in your area are top tier. In my area its all Marathon stations and Costco. And yes, there's an app for that.

Coverage is based on what is written in your paperwork at delivery time. The dealership and Ford are not allowed to add a late interpretation or opinion. Ford can't change it. Give Ford credit for owning the shaft debacle that some dealerships deny. It's about customer satisfaction leading to...

BTW, That dealer is not your friend. The bumper to bumper warranty doesn't exclude weather strips or sun roofs, your dealer did. They should have taken your side.

Ford covers defects in Materials. Ask them how many of these seals have failed in less than 36,000 miles. The whole vehicle is "exposed to weather". They only excluded your weatherstrip and not the whole truck? Read the warranty carefully - I don't think Ford has an excuse. Present your case, be...

Non detergent oil was almost totally phased out in the late 1960s. On engine tear-downs, sometimes you could fill your hand with clabbered (congealed oil with the viscosity of wheel bearing grease) in the valley between the pistons. Note: nobody I knew, me included, wore protective latex gloves...

Raising the front end will render a greater approach angle but you can't see things close to the front of your truck because the hood is higher and obstructs the lower part of the view. It is harder to judge distances between cars and obstacles in front of you. I have raised the back end 1 inch...

Go for it!

Gonna look it up (for Mav). Thanks!

Tail of the Dragon. Bike set up for turn, me setting up for second turn, kickstand dragging. Gonna try Mav when I get a chance. Guess I will settle for drift&slide.

Two that I rode 1200 miles to Sturgis, SD.

On November 29, 2024, the salesman asked what I wanted on the Maverick I was searching for. I told him a '24 Lariat, AWD, EB, 4K, with moonroof, deep blue in color like the Tacoma I was willing to trade in (didn't have a moonroof). He found one at his sister dealership in Louisville, 100 miles...

MTC: A great place to share information or show your ass. Let the users decide.

What are ya? A Bora employee? BTW, my spacers cost $111.90, your price quote was off. I still have the invoice. Car Talk's Top Recommendations Best Overall: KSP Hubcentric Wheel Spacers » Best for Chevrolet Trucks: Flycle Hubcentric Wheel Spacers » Best for Colors: Rough Country Wheel Spacers...

Unfortunately, the spacer makers don't check their clearances and post the dimensions. Some warn you. KSP on Amazon shows a picture that their spacers are safe and show a graphic. I bought 1" spacers from them and they didn't have the thread engagement I required. I sent an email to them showing...
