So what actually caused the fuse to blow ? Short to ground/chafed wiring for the HVAC panel during blend door repair at the dealer, etc ?

Hauled some groceries in it, all stocked up for the big games on the 1st.

Oil change, new wiper blades & freshened up the power steering fluid...

There's a few companies out there ( Mag-Hytec, PPE, Performance Automatic, AFE & maybe a couple of others, considered it myself awhile back but never bought one ). I remember seeing an older thread or two on here for the Mag-Hytec sold by Freedom Motorsports (or maybe it was for the diff...

Yep, just a good reminder to check the catch can at regular intervals. You'd think the sky is falling after reading some of the replies in here, SMH. Paging chicken little...LOL OP - It really doesn't appear too horrible; a little bit of "peanut butter" at the bottom of a catch can isn't...

Made a short trip yesterday afternoon (Fri 8/18) w/ the old trusty 1st gen to peek at some of the Ford displays along 9 Mile at Woodward Ave before the shitshow (actual Dream Cruise) begins tomorrow (er, later today Sat 8/19). They had a new "R" truck there amongst their vehicles. The Broncos...

^ Mt Saint Helens blew up again ! LOL

Changed the oil earlier this week - exciting stuff, whoo hoo. :) Passed the 9 year ownership mark recently as well...

$150 ?? Whaaaaat, no way. LOL I remember those were going for like $5 or so (along with "SVT" and "Cobra" t-shirts, etc) at Ford's 100th Anniversary Celebration event/party in Dearborn in 2003. I moved mine over from the snake to the raptor years ago. Ford had one of their officially...

So using 4x4 low on dry pavement is a bad thing? Uh oh !

Leave as is and consider it the "East Coast" version of "Arizona pinstriping," if you will...

^ Sooo, we can infer that the youngster hit the light pole...yikes !

As far as the parts numbering system goes, the "F" at the end (compared to the "E" ) just means it is a later "revision" of said part number (obviously the last revised part number would be preferred but earlier versions *might be* able to be used, in certain areas - YMMV ).

Nice write up, even if it is an "easy" job - will probably come in handy for some n00b one day. :)

Well, not today but in the last week: took advantage of the balmy weather and washed the truck, changed the oil & wound up buying a Harbor Freight "Badland" Off Road Jack (P/N 59136) to mainly use around the garage to help make tire rotations easier, etc (not as costly as a ProEagle & for my...

OP makes their 1st post on the board after 3.5 years - nice ! LOL It's just getting broken in at 250K ! What kinda maintenance stuff did the truck need ?

Still trucking along... Changed the oil yesterday. Rear pumpkin gear oil drain/fill last Sat as well (was a breeze w/ that LPW diff cover I installed a couple of years ago).

Changed out the air filter...

Please make them stop with all of the Magic Creeper or Dustless Blasting commercials - seems like those are the only products funding those automotive shows. LOL

Probably gotta wait for the air brakes to build pressure... LOL Might want to post up a short video clip if you can so others know what it sounds like ? G'luck 2nd Genner & may the force be with you !

@taitanium - May want to try using the e-mail that was listed for him earlier in this thread (read past the 1st post of this thread, his e-mail address was listed/mentioned a few times by other posters - I don't know him or his company, never bought from him but keep in mind that this thread is...

It wouldn't hurt to have an independent shop/mechanic give it a look prior to purchase just to make sure there are no "surprises" if you aren't comfortable checking it out yourself...g'luck !

Get you a case of Amsoil HDMP from Freedom Motorsports (vendor on here) and call it a day. :)
