Yes indeed. I found it REALLY hard to torque it the 150 Ft/lbs -- the last one I did was on my Subaru and the bolts were in such a way that I was able to stand up and use my body weight. Laying on the ground and twisting for these bolts was brutal, but they are in at the proper setting. And...

Okay -- let me say a VERY heartfelt and sincere THANK YOU to the folks on this thread!!! The M16 Thread tap came in (Thread Pitch 2) and....it....WORKED! It was scary (at least for me) and several pieces of small metal dropped out of the hole, but the bolt went in after the hole was threaded...

I'm hoping for a slightly better ending to this....I've got a M16 with a thread pitch of 2 (counted the TPI and converted to pitch) tap coming. So we'll see. I'll be back with a full report. That said, I really appreciate you helping me with these ideas!

Truthfully, I am usually THAT guy -- I've got tools for projects that never came to fruition, but I'm usually glad I have them for something further down the road. This project has been VERY frustrating, I was certain that this was one of those economical DIY things that even a non-mechanical...

This is great, thank you!!!

Thanks guys. I would love to find a thread chaser / restorer over a thread tap; but apparently this bolt which is 15mm and tapers to 14mm at the end is Ford's special brew. If the bolt were damaged but the hole was fine, I'd just order the bolt and be happy; but unfortunately I am completely...

Was installing a Draw-Tite hitch, and everything was going peachy, for 3 out of the 4 mounting bolts. I noticed that when removing the bolt it was slow and sticky, and now the bolt will only go in about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the way back in. I tried the bolt in the other holes, and it works, and I...

I'm looking at those as well. I'd like to get the halligan mounted, and Built Right does have some interesting solutions. As for lighting, I was just perusing the forum to see what others have done.

Yeah, I hear that....I'm not expecting anything close to a 100% solution, but I hope it puts a dent in the "problem". I had heard there was a "gap" in the corners between the bed and the tailgate, but honestly, it looks like almost a half-inch gap on both sides of the tailgate....and I didn't...

I just ordered that very product....great minds think alike (I hope).

Thanks, Tom. After installing the Diamondback cover last night, I tossed a lit flashlight in the back and was shocked and horrified by the amount of light coming out of the sides of the tailgate. Needless to say, tailgate seal is my next acquisition. Thanks again for your help!

Absolutely. I went with the Diamondback SE and couldn't be happier. I installed it last night and will come back to this thread with pics. Thanks for your help!

I know this thread is (or perhaps should be) long since dead, but having just driven my new 2021 Scab Lariat home with the wife asking, how come our headrests don't tilt like our 2014 Fusion's did (we traded the Fusion for the Scab)? And me saying, I'm sure they do.....I mean, c'mon, people...

First time truck owner and first time poster...I am quite literally picking up my 2021 Super Cab (4x4 Lariat) in 5 hours. The main purpose for the purchase was to keep my firefighting gear (bunker gear, halligan, saws [chainsaw, recip and K12]) in the bed and well away from us as we're using...
