    Ford gen 3 coyote spark plugs

    Well, I wouldent say they are cheap. The sp589 are just regular copper core spark plugs @ 4.21 each they should be about 1.-50 - 2.00. Nothing any different than a lawnmower plug except they are longer. Really, they are nothing special.

    Ford gen 3 coyote spark plugs

    Vehicle: 2018 f150 w/ gen 3 Coyote with almost 82k miles. For the last year it has had a low rpm misfire with no codes that always cleared up around 2k rpm's. During the winter it runs perfect but once warmed up with the engine hot and heat soaked the misfire was there. Watching live data...

    Rock Auto Discount code good till June 20th

    Their shipping is how they make money. It's a total scam. If you want multiple parts you are usually better off ordering one item a day. (usually)

    Choosing Bimini top color

    A pervious comment to this thread claims a dark color adds to the heat while you're under it. In the past I have had white, light grey, maroon and now a black Bimini. I can self attest the color makes zero difference in the temperature while under it. I will also add the benefit of a darker...

    Walmart online oil purchase has oil fees?

    Possibly state specific? Also could be the retailer as my oil was Walmart not one of the other companies that sell through their site. Who knows.

    Walmart online oil purchase has oil fees?

    I made an order from Walmart.com last night with a few hundred dollars of misc items. In the breakdown at the end of the cart was something I have never seen before. A 5 cent charge for "Estimated regulatory fees & taxes" and when you click on it, it says "oil fee" $0.05 I ordered two 5 quart...

    85w140 in Ford 8.8

    Nice! A very unique truck. BTW, when the rear door cable ends give you grief and wont open, they make aluminum replacement pieces to fix it without replace the entire cable system. Cheap, easy and a good, permanent solution. Been there done that with my 2002.

    85w140 in Ford 8.8

    Torque is the reason. From an owner of a new Coyote f150 that tows quite a bit I can say the 5.4 has better low rpm torque for towing. I have used my fathers previous 5.4 to tow and IMO it did better. Is it possible that Ford thought the older 28 spline 8.8 was not up to task and decided the...

    85w140 in Ford 8.8

    Yeah, it was interesting. Ford made a F150 7700 pkg. Think of it like a light duty f250 with f150 badges with a gvwr between the f150 and f250. I believe the f150 was 6500gvwr, f250 was8800 and the f150 7700 was, well it was 7700gvwr. Heavier brakes, heavier springs and shocks, and parts of...

    CRAP, yes I meant sterling. Those were standard with the HD max tow, 7700 or the LD250 heritage.

    Clunk when coming to a stop in neutral

    80k miles dealing with a diff clunk. Cured after changing the fluid to 85w140. You hear the clunk even in neutral because the transmission is still shift as you are slowing down. The rear ends are set up very loose and clunk.

    85w140 in Ford 8.8

    If you have the Spicer 9.75" diff you have the heavy payload package or the 7700 model F150. All 97-2004 Heritage F150's came with the 8.8 except the Lightning, 7700 or the heavy payload pkg or some other unusual package that required the Spicer 9 3/4 diff. Standard issue has been the 8.8 for...

    85w140 in Ford 8.8

    I might also add that I plan an using the 85w140 in the front diff when I get time to tackle it.

    85w140 in Ford 8.8

    It is the electronic locker and does not require LSD additive or friction modifiers. Personally, I would much rather have the LSD as I find the auto locker pointless and annoying.
