What oil were you running? Hard to believe Mobil 1 or Amsoil, Rotella, etc. would fail that soon.

Atta Boy or gal!! That engine will last longer than most who baby and needlessly change their focking oil every 3K miles.

Fucking oil threads....my semi runs T6 Rotella and gets changed at 100K intervals - oil analysis is perfect every time. Y'all wasting money and crude on needless oil changes. Maybe if all your trips are 10 mins to the local ABS, than yeah, change at 5K - even that is too often with the modern...

I got a speeding ticket on the way to work ascending a nice higher speed section with some nice sweepers on my daily commute route. Passed a few semi's at 107, made the crest and there he was....Smokey gobbling his donut. I had it down to about 75 by the time the Valentine lit up but it was in...

Dude!! Really?! You're gonna fix THAT?! Just go hit an offroad park and add some more "character marks"! At the very least, go ahead and submit the claim, take the money and hit Vegas! Why fix such a little boo boo in a vehicle designed to thrash off road?!

Woolwax it and fughetaboutit

Get it from Ford, not third party. I bought the 7 year/100K package and I think it was a reasonable price. Especially since my rig is no garage queen - I abuse the shit out it - meaning, I drive it like it like I drove theirs at the Braptor Off-Roadeo. 14K miles in and no issues. These...

Great pics and thanks for sharing. Looks like an epic journey to say the least despite the suspension woes. Life is good most times if you make it so!

Think I'll keep hammering the living shit out of my 3.0, run Amsoil with FR3, drink beer while off-roading, rail the ol' lady in the back seat and use the extended warranty as a safety net.

All of a sudden I miss my '72 Pinto - at least in that you had to be rear ended before the fireworks started!

Carpet....bought off lot so it was there.

Warhorse!

Jesus H Christ, fellas and gals!!! Let's give the OP a little more love. He sounds like a pretty responsible kid - paid off his college loans when many in his shoes just skip out or let mom and dad do it. And, yeah, maybe right now, he sounds like a bit of a tight-ass with the spend, but, he...

Yawn. Disclaimers up front - Not a lubrication expert. No horse in this race and frankly to each their own. Also, I like to save money, so yes, I'm a cheap sonofabitch. Also, as I've gotten older, I've gotten lazier. All that said, I may be able to help some of you fellas and gals save some...

I married a stripper after waving at her while she was on stage. It was Detroit in the early 90s. Been together ever since.

Dude!!!! You clearly possess some "over-the-top" build talent. That, and, your energy level is THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!! I remember having two little kids at home and it was a job just to get the lawn mowed. Christ! You're superhuman. Good luck with it all....I'm exhausted just from reading...

Thanks for this explanation, Duc. I was just searching the forum for the same reason as the OP...noticed the VOM on the "My Gauges" screen jumping between 12 and 14 and thought for sure something was whacked. Crazy how complicated something as simple as charging a battery has become on the new...

I had Nexen's on my RAM 3500. Hated those damn things - I broke belts 5 times on the rears - PSI at 65 which is factory spec from RAM but any time I was hauling anything over 5K pounds, I'd bust a belt - varied across all four rears. I had the driver front also break one at 10K miles at...

That is some nice fix on the flares....thanks for the idea...I may end up going that way or just say "to hell with it" and ignore it now that they're scractched.
