Had something similar happen in my 99 f150 with the 5.4L. The mechanic was able to thread it for a larger threaded spark plug. I think he said it was something out of a Bronco... Regardless I didn't have it long enough to need to replace the 7 and 1 spark plugs so I didn't worry too much about...

The ones The one on the body was what I was aiming for. I will hold off for now, thanks!

Looking for the cab side seals (both sides) near the mirrors for 2011 F-250 (pictured). I've heard they've been updated. Looking to get rid of wind noise.

Sounds like a bigger engine mounted block heater. Also doesn't fit my year truck. Solid idea in aiding truck in getting up to temp. For the cost, I would rather wait and see if my DPF is having issues and replace it. To each their own. Side note is also pick the right oil. Finding out...

That's a good looking smoker. I had been trying to figure out a cheap replacement for my rusting out firebox (that requires a fan to maintain 200F) on my cheap grill/offset smoker. I might try to find a cheap file cabinet and see if I can bastardize your idea into something to limp me along...

This seems to be the way of the world anymore. More and more its cheaper and easier to just throw parts kits at the problem or throw away and buy a new one. Time is more and more precious to me so I do end up doing more "What else should I replace preemptively while I am in this deep? I don't...

The CCV filter lives in this weird limbo of is it or isn't it a maintenance item. Ford doesn't give an interval for the box (for certain the box one without the filter). Ford got away from the filtered design and went back to the baffled box. Either way they can still gum up/plug up and cause...

Just got my oil change in. Overall both new and used the Schaeffer's felt thinner than the T6 both at 5w40. I suppose that would be a benefit for less parasitic loss for better performance and supposed fuel economy but may be worse for wear. I didn't feel any difference in power or see any...

I feel ya. Depending on what turbo you have under the hood, Pusher might be a good option. I have confirmed they do not work with the SST turbos found on the 11-14 trucks but they supposedly have something in the works for these trucks. https://pusherintakes.com/pusher-powerflow-2015-2019 I...

No personal experience on this item, but looks to be more focused on bling IMO. From what I can gather they took their upper intake from their piping kit and added a couple pieces for it to work with the stock lower intake manifold. Inside diameter may be larger but to me the flow looks worse...

Yessir, 2011. Currently going to keep on the extra weight but I have seen that as well. Would love to compound but can't seem to make it make sense for me currently. Perhaps one day. Glad to hear they don't powdercoat the inside. From the pictures it looked like they might. Any concerns of...

Truck looks good! I've been curious about the piping kit from pusher (my truck ain't new enough for it). How are you liking it? Any issues with install or check engine lights? Can you notice a difference in sound, spool, power, mpg? I am hesitant about powder coated steel intake piping myself...

I know it's only a temporary fix, but I used electrical tape and wrapped it around the striker where the door latches. Has eliminated door rattle for the last few months now. I figure I can do this a few times while trying to wait and see if the strikers come down to a more reasonable price.

I have two and a half semi-educated guesses. To bring down exhaust heat, to bring down an engine bay hot spot, or a bit of both. Stainless manifolds and cooled turbine housing may allow for higher sustained EGTs while still meeting OEM reliability standards of the exhaust system. I don't know if...

I heard turbo housing in that video. The turbos on the 6.7 Powerstroke already have water cooled bearing housings on them so I'm almost certain they are talking about turbine housing cooling. https://otsturbo.com/water-cooled-turbine-housing/

@RascalMafia I kept running into reviews of the Ridge Grapplers being unsatisfactory in winter and wet conditions. Most people tried to steer towards the Exo grapplers for those climates. The Exos were apparently loud and heavy. Not sure I got a good idea on how they wear either. Neither tire...

@lincolnlocker I won't say that I am dead set against Cooper or their sub brands. But essentially not coming with a warranty is a mark against them that make other tires look like a better deal. It is hard for me to think back to something that I have had to use the warranty on, but defects...

There might be some resources from the 7.3L Godzilla swap community. I believe they use the same transmission in these trucks and for a while there was no real support from Ford for programming in the aftermarket. Safest bet would be to swap all the electronics, which at that point just...

Quick PSA on this. Determined there was a boost leak combined with just bad timing of regens occurring while the wife was driving without a monitor to know when a regen might start or finish. Had it happen to me again here recently with not being able to watch my monitor due to the insurances...

New development on my tire search. The in-laws tire shop that I get some good deals through has had issues with Cooper tires standing behind their warranty for them. They believe it to be something to do with not being a direct Cooper dealer and getting them through a distributor. I was told to...
