    Valve body

    Be sure to report back what you think about the valve body. I did my own when I rebuilt the trans, sonnax parts, HD kit. I am actually not very happy with it. Shifts firmer than it should I think. took the plate down and made smaller holes to soften the shifts and still pretty rough. Been...

    Backup camera again

    Now just for a comparison while I had it all apart. Between the factory camera and the cheap ebay replacement. this cheap one was Soillar brand. It is $47 off ebay. I would totally use it. You can tell there is a difference, but I am not a hard core camera user like my wife is. The cheap one...

    Backup camera again

    That didn't fix my problem either. One place talked about is a junction box under the dash near the emergency brake. I wiggled everything under there with the Cam on and no change. So next I dug into the plug back by the trailer hitch. When I pulled it apart I didn't see any corrosion in...

    Backup camera again

    I ordered a backup camera and it did not change at all. So I dug into it finally. Commonly talked about is the ground wire in the harness running through the tailagate. I opened up the harness and it was intact but very corroded. I cut the wire at each end and spliced in a new ground wire...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    I ordered a fuel pressure gauge adapter. Be here next week. Pretty sure I am okay, But now I gotta know for sure.

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Exactly, I was hoping someone would see that and elaborate on it. That reading is taken off the high pressure rail. It is not the switch that triggers the LP alarm and puts it in limp mode. That switch is calibrated to 30K psi. So a little tolerance is understandable. Reading 42 psi on the...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    I keep thinking someone will pop in and say, hey when I hook my scanner up I show 59 psi KOEO or something like that. That 42 psi has always seemed weird to me. The low pressure switch and pressure sensor are two different things. I would think the Fuel pressure would have to affect...

    Wait, I have a deleted Tune in. Wouldn't a reflash erase that?

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Might not hurt. I think I read a TSB on rough idle that said reset fuel trims. Thought about doing that one too. Not like it won't re learn. Waiting on my upgraded cold side pipe and then go drive it some.

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    To the best of my knowledge it has never been to a Ford dealer since it was driven off the lot new. I am thinking about the low pressure fuel pump again. How that can affect starting. Maybe I need to put an actual gauge on it. But honestly not too worried about it anymore. That also would...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Just because I hate unfinished threads, I fixed my coolant leak and put it back together. Still disappointed, I know something is wrong, but I guess I will drive it until something actually breaks. Bright side, at least I know the CP4 is good right? I ordered a new seal for the hot side...

    Backup camera again

    So the factory camera on my 2014 is acting up again. this will be the 3rd one. I suppose the tailgate gets slammed 100 times a year considering that it is probably holding up well. Thinking about trying this one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314172483472 As opposed to another Ford one...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Found it, Any variance greater than 0.1gr (grain) or 6.4 mg. Depending on what scan tool you are using. Based off of that my injectors look fantastic. No idea where to go next. I am on the fence of throwing 8 injectors in it, or just leaving it. I know there is a problem. Extended...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Iowa. I read somewhere that variance could not be more than .6mg or 6mg. I can't find the article now. Also read there should be 45 psi back pressure in fuel return but not sure how that could affect my flow test to zero

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Ok finally started this project. Good news and more questions. First the obligatory cp4 check. All is well. I am disappointed in laptop and forscan. I can't do more that what I could with Bluetooth and phone. At least as far as troubleshooting information I need for this project. Expected to...

    Brand new moog ball joint rotates inside knuckle

    wow, I haven't seen that on any of these trucks. Are you doing one side or 2? I would grab the other lower ball joint and check fit, compare size. Probably even run to the store with a mic or dial caliper and get another new one out of the box. Compare it to the old one. hate to know how...

    TC tail shaft installation

    I usually use the "right stuff" Black in the cheeze wiz can. That should be a low pressure area so shouldn't take much to seal it.

    Death wobble, my turn!

    Your best bet at finding something loose is to leave it on the ground. Engine off. Have someone sit in the driver's seat and turn the steering wheel back and for 1/8-1/4 turn fairly rapidly. Crawl underneath the front end and look at everything. Tie rods, drag ling. Pitman arm. track bar...

    Death wobble, my turn!

    Does it have a lift on it? Adding any kind of lift can certainly screw up alignment, mostly caster specs. And does it have a steering stabilizer on it? adding one is a good safety measure. Whether it be a steering stabilizer or shocks, the more you work them, the hotter they get, the less...
