Have you gone through a car wash yet?

I just bought a case of Motorcraft ULV on Rock Auto and even without the 5% discount, it was a lot cheaper than $8. Now take a look at the product data sheet here Valvoline ULV Do you see anywhere on it that says it's either licensed by Ford, or even that it meets Ford specs? Nope, it's...

I figured I would rotate the tires and see if that helped.

I changed my rear end oil at 50K miles with Kendall 80W90 that had Ford's spec listed on the label. There was some shavings on the drain plug at the time but nothing I got excited over. I just hit 75K so I dumped the oil and this was on the drain plug. It has a chamfer on it so I looked in the...

You can use 3/8" fuel hose and a worm gear clamp on the engine side to replace it, reusing the clamp on the fan side. I did this to get by so I could get to work in the interim. It worked and I could have left it like that. I ended up getting a 3/8" molded 90 degree coolant hose from Napa and...

Sorry about your troubles. But just like the poor fella who installed an aftermarket turbo gizmo in another recent thread, your truck was a victim of an upgrade that wasn't needed. Hopefully no major damage was sustained from it.

I just the same fix as Ramong. I just happened to be emptying the Ford Performance catch can when I noticed the hose was in 2 pieces. I just put some regular old 3/8" fuel hose in it's place with the same clamp on the fan end and a new worm drive clamp on the anchor. I'm feeling tremendously...

So what're you going to do?

Amsoil and other oil companys word it so that they won't get sued by the OEM's. THEY recommend it for use where Ford spec ######## is called for. So you see, it has not passed any tests that are dictated by the OE but THEY can still 'recommend' it. If you look at a bottle of Mobil 1, that HAS...

If you read it in Stephen Hawking's voice it helps.

No spec for you!

Pretty label. Signature series? Whose signature?

I use Michelin in my fleet of firetrucks and I use them on my personal cars too. LTX is what I'm running on the Ranger now and I have no complaints.

You do you, Boo. If the oil was soooo good, wouldn't they want to wear all the factory certifications it has like a badge of honor? I've heard all of the claims from the Scamsoil salesmen that come to my shop; here's my favorite: ME: "Sure, I'm open to changing brands of oil. Just show me on the...

Amsoil refuses to submit their oil for OEM testing. But, they claim OEM compliance. Actually, they only appear to claim OEM compliance. They are very careful about the wording of their claims. "It is recommended for European gasoline or diesel vehicles requiring any of the following performance...

"He also mentioned that at their dealer they have not had any Rangers come in for the CDF drum either. He said the Rangers are very reliable overall." Wait, what? I'm calling BS on this one.

Any mods to the suspension? How many miles? Was the ball joint checked like this? Ball Joint Inspection Prior to inspecting the ball joints for wear, inspect the wheel bearings and wheel hubs. REFER to: Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) (100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness, Diagnosis and...

No. Just no.

Never heard of a steady bearing bushing, are they talking about the drive shaft support bearing?

The rule of thumb for how much crank case pressure is acceptable is 2" of water column which equals .07 PSI. He used 10 PSI through his paint gun set up. That's 10 times the pressure that's normal.
