    How to stop front end death wobble

    Depending on the mileage I have found the 05 and up axles have better ball joint life. When I worked at a dealership I used to increase the caster on both sides by one degree. That used to fix them. Then Ford came out with a different geometry for the dampener shock and that fixed them without...

    Finished intake manifold. Dyno tests next.

    Sorry no results yet. Been a little busy and have not been able to set up a back to back dyno test. I don't think there is really any room to open up the ports going into the head. The intake gasket and port opening are the same size. Someone would have to make a custom intake gasket to...

    I plan on running the coolant from the oil cooler to the degas bottle. It will no longer go through the manifold. I plan to monitor the EOT to see if it causes any problems with the oil cooler's coolant flow. The bottom of the intake is welded shut where the coolant returned to the engine. I...

During the build of this manifold I found several things that I would do different and plan to change...

    Finished intake manifold. Dyno tests next.

    Finally finished my modified intake manifold. This is my take on modifying the stock manifold. I tried two different designs. The first one I tried was an "economy" version I was thinking about. I just bored down from the top to remove the columns. What I found was that it would leave a lot...

    Leveling kit biggest widest tire setups?

    I have 35x12.5x20 Toyo tires on my 06 truck with no rubbing issues. I have them on stock Harley 20in rims. I used rubber coil spacers on the front with stock F350 blocks in the back. I love the stock-like ride quality with out doing a big suspension lift.

    I've been cruising this forum for a couple of months now and figured I would join up so I can offer input on threads. I currently own my own shop. I served as a mechanic for 12 years in a couple of Ford dealers and local speed shops. I have always been interested in hot rods of all kinds...
