    Question Differentials just changed with Mobile 1.. input??

    I have been running Mobil 1 in my differentials for 14 years. I only have 80k miles so it will be a while before I know muck about longevity. I do know the truck rolls much better at -40 with the synthetic.

    comment Smoking and a choking

    Not looking good so far. Tank before adding the treatment consisted of a 240 mile highway trip grossing about 14,000lbs and the rest around town running empty. Mileage was 12.0 when I filled it up. With the additive I made the exact same highway trip with the same 14,000lbs and then drove around...

    How many volts will a alternator put out

    This is on a very old SuperDuty(1975 lol) with a external regulator. Everything keeps blowing including light bulbs and electronic ignition modules. I took the alternator to a reputable electrical shop and they said it tested out OK. They figured it was the regulator so I put a new one on it...

    How many volts will a alternator put out

    I am diagnosing a strange problem on a Ford truck but instead of going into a long drawn out explanation of the problem I will try and keep it to one simple question that will help me in the diagnosis. If you disconnected the main lead off the alternator then checked the voltage at the...

    things you can do to mess with the driver

    Once programmed it will move the seat to a preset position when you hit unlock. Handy when two different people drive the same vehicle.

    You seem to be putting a lot of effort into something that will just get you thumped upside the head.

    things you can do to mess with the driver

    Our 05' f150 has to be in park for the remote to select seat position. The buttons on the side of the seat work anytime but not the remote.

    Torque ??

    The engine is pretty much the same but from what I recall in most 97' models the injectors are different than previous years.

    Big Brother and GPS radio/nav systems

    I have no doubt that they could track you if they wanted to but I bet they have more pressing matters to tend to.

    10-20 hp depending on tranny, 55 torque and different tailgate trim.

    Torque ??

    I remember now - the 97' has more than the 96' and older models.

    I'll Try synthetic oil next time

    You are going to like the quieter engine. Switching to synthetic is fine for a permanent switch but switching oil brands/types on a regular basis is a bad practice. While they are somewhat compatible many people find that oil consumption and leaks occur after switching. If you don't have plans...

    comment Smoking and a choking

    I have used Howes Lubricator for years but this is the first time I can say that it showed me what it actually does. It failed me as a anti-gel several years ago but I figured it was still working as a lubricant to I continued to use the case I had until it ran out this spring. For the last...

    rant NO FISHING in Kalamazoo River

    These oil spills are getting to be way too common. Seems like it may be time to start updating things a little. This leaky pipe is 40 years old and I bet it wasn't designed to be there over 20. The Alaska pipeline up here is way past its planned lifespan. Seems like the oil companies would start...

    strange surprise under the hood

    Looks to me like a chemical reaction. What you been cleaning under the hood with? Oil additives? Set it on the battery upside down when adding oil(battery acid)?

    Track Bar Bushings

    I don't know about the part numbers but I do know when you install them use lots of grease. The energy suspension bushings like to squeak and they will drive you nuts.

    Garage Door Remote

    If you are parking outside then don't program the remote. No need for it if you are parking outside. That is unless you are like my wife and wear out the opener along with letting all the heat out of the garage just to walk in(very inconvenient to open the man door). Better idea yet is to...
