People love to block in big trucks too. I was offloading heavy exterior steel studs at a shopping mall renovation, when this women parked behind me and block me in. Too bad for her, I had a zoom-boom that day. Me and my swamper went for an extra long paid lunch at the food court after that. She...

I'm sure the rise in compound bows/crossbows being used as hunting instruments goes hand and hand with strict firearms regulation. I'm into archery and my "arsenal" contains one compound bow and two crossbows. Rest easy folks I'm not about to take over the world with them.

In two months I'm putting the money down on a brand new $570,000 four bedroom luxury two storey home, built just for us. Me and my wife have lived very cheap for the past five years, renting and working furiously. We've managed to save a 25% down payment. In 15 years of bi-weekly mortgage...

You're right that is bizarre, and it doesn't appear to be leaking from the pinion seal. The only thing I can think of is the pinion nut may have loosened off due to vibration, and the pinion flange with it. If the pinion flange is loose riding on the pinion shaft that may be the source of that...

By "main seal" or "inner seal" you must be talking about the pinion seal. The pinion seal is the only oil seal in the pinion shaft/gear housing of a rear end, and it is merely pressed into the mouth of the pinion shaft/gear housing. A pinion seal is composed of both metal and rubber. The...

Looks good to me, and it has the infamous metal crimp too.

Wow, I'm just going to put this EGR valve on my spare parts shelf for now ... Clever catch on both yours and jrustles account, and it appears you have isolated the problem. It makes total sense too. The ECM needs to know when the vehicle is stand still idling in drive, which under normal...

'13 F150 3.73 gears, six speed auto and 265/70R17 GY Duratracs - 1800 RPM @ 60 MPH. '08 F150 3.73 gears, four speed auto and 265/70R17 GY Duratracs - 2000 RPM @ 60 MPH. Most of the RPM difference is because of the Detroit Locker (loose backlash).

Much appreciated, and thanks in advance for your time and effort.

Travlnman, I really got thinking about this problem. It may be possible we both are experiencing a sticking EGR valve. during a run, say cruising down the highway, the EGR valve opens up allowing exhaust to enter the intake manifold. Under idle the EGR valve is supposed to be closed. If the...

My 2013 F150 was under filled at my dealership on my last oil change. There was only about a 1/4 inch of oil touching the dipstick. Knowing what I know, I didn't panic or loose my head over it, as long as there is enough oil reserve to provide uninterrupted circulation to the bearings it is...

Interesting. I know my truck does the exact same thing you describe and my dealership assured me it was completely normal for a healthy 4.6L 2V. I'm off warranty too, and if there was a fixable issue rest assured they wouldn't hesitate to bill me for a repair. I'm only at 69,000km too I should...

My 2008 4.6L 2V does this exact same thing when hot and it is completely normal. I don't have AC either, this specific truck is a stripper model. The reason for the rough idle at higher temperatures could easily be attributed to higher ethanol fuels, are you using 87 octane?

I am a better driver in a boxy pickup plain and simple. The mirrors are typically better designed, I have full view of my hood and I can see the edge of my rear bumper indicating the very rear of my vehicle. Getting rid of my wife's old Chevy Cobalt was a blessing. Small economical cars get...

Running the sump level to the bottom add line isn't going to affect how the engine lubricates. Oil is still circulating throughout the engine uninterrupted, it's just the reservoir has reached a level that it should be replenished. More sump oil volume doesn't equal better lubrication, but going...

I cannot give you a long term observation, but I did experiment for the first time with a 5w30 in place of 5w20 in my 4.6L. The major difference I observed is a much rougher idle when the engine reaches operating temperature on 5w30. I'm not panicked over the rough idle at all, but I will be...
