If I had extra cash, I'd have it done at a shop, preferably at a Ford dealer rather than an independent transmission shop. But no way would I spend $500 on something I could do myself in an hour (or two). My '19 has 63K on it now, I'll be doing the filter and fluid change soon.

No number whatsoever so that rules out an aviation fastener. No concrete anywhere either except underground beneath the supporting posts. I'll keep an eye out for a Norton in the neighborhood.

I did the google image search and many bolts came up that looked similar. New Holland, Yamaha and Norton were some that looked close. Probably the closest match was this spacer for a Cessna. Certainly possible, as several small planes fly overhead every day here. The other option is finding out...

I live in central Arizona where nearly all the houses have "desert landscaping", so I don't own a mower and I dang sure don't own a snowblower. :sun: I think I'll just ship the part to Boeing.

That would seem like the type of fastener that a garage door pulley would use. But my garage door doesn't have a roll up door, it's a set of old fashioned wood doors that swing out on hinges.

I'll chalk it up to a passing plane that was shedding fasteners, I guess. ✈🛩🚁🛸

It was lying just inside the frame, on the ground where nothing was before. No one else has ever parked there since I bought the place, so I'm sure it's not from another vehicle. And too far from the street to have been thrown from a car passing by. After I found the bolt last year, I crawled...

I found this under where I park my truck last year. While I was at the dealer for something else, I happened to see a tech standing next to the service advisor, so I showed him the bolt and asked him if he knew where it was from. He said he didn't have a clue. Of course the two rude & smartass...

I have been using the 400 as much as the 910. The only difference being the 400 is slightly longer with more capacity. Also the FL400 filters 80% of the particles 20 microns or larger, whereas the FL910 filters 50% of the particles 35 microns or larger. So the 400 seems to filter junk out of...

I used some fiber reinforced hose I got from NAPA. Easy fix and should last a lot longer than the crappy factory hose.

Even though I have stock shocks, I rarely get going fast enough in a Sedona or VOC roundabout to experience roll. Most tourists don't know the difference between yield and stop, and will sit there at the yield sign instead of going, even when there is no one coming around the roundabout.

I went into Forscan right after I got my truck and changed several things, mostly the annoying chimes. I didn't disable the Auto start/stop because there are some times where I like it. I live in a very small town with zero stoplights. But if I go to Prescott (or Phoenix like I did yesterday)...

Ahhh. Makes me glad I'm in Arizona, where it might only rain a few times a year. And that my Ranger is under cover when I'm not driving it.

How does water even get around the spark plugs unless the hood is left up for long periods ? Hitting puddles at high speed ?

While I've enjoyed the 9 pages of highly technical discussion (which mostly went over my head), I believe that some tend to overthink this. It's a crap piece of rubber that deteriorates quickly, it's possible that it's just that simple. Replace the hose with something better, and check it's...

Let me know what store that is, I wanna get me some of those hoes !

If my hose failure is being caused by a failing fan clutch, then my "band aid" won't last very long. We'll see, but I'd bet that the new hose will last much longer than the 2 years the factory part lasted.

I had no interest in having the dealer replace the hose with the same inferior rubber that failed in the first place. Surely (Shirley ?) Ford could have chosen a more suitable material for the hose. Interestingly, most failures of the hose seem to be at the same end, the end away from the fan...

Maybe the hose could be heated to make that bend better ? The one I put on has a more gradual bend but isn't really cranked over much. The close proximity to the front of the engine means that rubber hose gets hot, maybe that contributes to the deterioration.

No, everything rotates freely. There must be some torque on that hose though for it to fail eventually.
