if im not mistaken, the belltech kit is rear adjustable and i dont think the axle swap is 6 inches. youd have to measure the thickness of the leaf springs which i think is closer to just a couple inches.
after reading the belltech install instructions, OEM shackle and a flip kit gives you 6...
hmmm ill keep that in mind. i do like the fact that the mishimoto doesnt use the stock gasket but instead a highly superior oring design. i hate gaskets. like a lot.
Actually, yeah. A little. Lol
I forgot how loud it was too. 3" Straight pipe cat back... next mod will be trans pan with a drain plug though. Then back on track for the catless dp and tune.
Well, officially got the truck back last night.
5800 flat out the door. Didnt try to nickle and dime at the end, which was nice.
Truck feels great. Shifting is nice and crisp in "sport" and soft in standard dive mode. Havent done any spirited driving yet but even my Average mpg is back to...
The 11k quote was for a full new unit.
The original rebuild quote was close to 6500 iirc. I bitched and told them I needed ford to step up and stand behind their product.
Also bring up the fact that the 1st time the manual mentions a trans fluid change is 150k.
Ok everybody.
Finally got a real number from local dealer.
5800 for rebuild out the door.
It's not horrible. Local shop was just a couple hundred under that and I'd rather have the work documented by the dealer so when it dies again they already have the history... lol
Ill be swapping the pan...
good luck.
mine was fine until juuuuust past 100.
as long as yuo have the CDF drum done i assume that youll be better off but my valves were sticking too. caused underpressure at clutch and steels and they ate themselves.
I do oil changes regularly and use at least a synthetic blend.
If I could go back and do filter every 30k I would in a heart beat. I'd even install a pan with a drain plug and everything.
