UPDATE: The new pulleys just arrived directly from Ford Parts in Memphis Tennessee. The one I ordered previously as a spare seems to have slightly more play in the bearing. It spins easier and moves in and out. The new ones are definitely tighter. I’ll have this swapped out with a newer one at...

I ordered a couple spare pulleys and I just received a notification the part number changed. Hopefully that’s acknowledgment of a problem and a fix.

Thanks. They’re Innov8 G600 in tinted clear powdercoat with ARP stainless 12 point bolts.

I may have to look into that as well. I think the bearing is garbage and in a short period of time creates an excessive tolerance. Or it’s not sealed properly and the slightest moisture creates hell.

I was thinking it might be something out of alignment but who knows. I think I’ll have them replace the belt the next time too. It’s literally a $30 part that makes it sound like a 2003 Maxima with 247,000 miles on it lol

I’m on my 3rd idler pulley since new, I keep having the same reoccurring issue. When it rains out and the truck sits outside or if I wash the truck, I get a squeaking noise from the idler pulley on start up. The tech that always works on my truck said the bearing on the original was pretty shot...

The AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery has had some issues. Mine did the same thing, no crank, brake pedal pushed back. I had the truck towed to the dealer. They replaced the battery and did a software update. No issues since. I think Ford either got a bad batch of batteries or the parameters for...

Use the adjustment screw on top of the headlight housing under the hood. It’s a No.2 Phillips head. Just count your number of turns up or down and they’ll retain the factory position, just higher or lower. I have 1.5 front collars and with about 400lbs in the bed you feel like you’re high...

I don’t regret ordering the truck in that color at all.

I did a few posts ago

Probably because they were never offered. 801A is the old 802A.

The speakers in the headrests and roof are meant to act as “fill” not a source of sound. If they emitted a louder sound, the entire soundstage would be thrown off balance. Just like the rear speakers being louder than the front speakers, do you sit at a concert with your back to the stage? Is...

I’m trying to decide if I want to add 3/4” rear spacers to go with my Foutz 1.5” collars up front. I get a slight amount of squat with a spare and off-road jack in the bed. I’m concerned adding the 3/4” rear will make it too high in the rear unloaded. I’ve noticed the rear springs seem to have...
