    Differential fluid change - do I need friction modifier?

    With Amsoil gear lube, you don't HAVE to use friction modifier in the front, because Amsoil gear lube already has friction modifier in it. Ford does recommend friction modifier in the front, so if it makes you feel better to follow their recommendation on that, use THIS ADDITIVE with your Amsoil...

Starting at the passenger side rear, with a buddy pumping the pedal, release the fluid through the bleeder manually during pumping the brake pedal.

    brake problems

    Yeah, the ones we've seen here that ruined the master cylinder, all had pretty much never maintained their brake fluid at all. Some of the worst we've seen in that regard, so my thought was the combination of previous lack of maintenance and then forcing fluid backward through the system just...

    2013 Roush Raptor misfire at higher levels of boost

    I would recommend pulling a couple of the plugs and making sure the gapping is right. They should be gapped around .028-.030 versus the NA .042-.046. If they aren't gapped right the boost COULD be blowing out the spark. I would also recommend changing the purge control valve on the side of the...

    A Ford tech's take on "THE CLUNK" (THE ONE and ONLY CLUNK THREAD)

    You say the clunk was in the front end? Were you in 4 wheel drive at the time? You could be hearing a CV axle popping under strain of switching from forward to reverse and back, especially if you were in 4Lo. If that is the case, it's actually a bit normal.
