Hello I am new to the forums. I love all the information I picked up off you guys already. I did have a couple questions though.
1) When replacing a block heater, what fluid do i have to drain (oil, antifreeze), do i have to drain any fluid?
2) I believe i have factory cruise (never know if its just the steering wheel that was replaced) but nothing happens when I try to turn it on. Is there any way to trouble shoot things in a row till i find whats wrong.
3) In my picture i have a custom intake i just did today with a hack saw and a 4" u pipe. Would a 6637 sideways work better?
4) Where can i get polyurethane bushings ford this truck instead of rubber ones that really are for this truck (Auto Zone and the rest have given me a million that don't really fit)
5) I run 60 MPH at 2k rpm what rear end would that be?
Quick story: I bought this truck in Oregon. The next day me and my wife started our drive across the country to Jacksonville NC. Pulling my wife's little SUV and everything we owned with 3 mutts (estimated weight 8,000lbs). It made it over every hill on I-80 in January, with no problem. If it down shifted i would start to re accelerate on the hills until i hit 60 again and OD kicked in. We made it 4,000 miles in 3 days (driving all night and day). At one timed i estimated that i hadn't shut her off in over 24 hours. I have never driven a vehicle like that. I love the power! I drive like an older man and every car including the grandparents in the Cadillac's will pass me off the line. But i love that my truck will make it 2 or 300,000 miles past their's. We made it within 30 miles of our new home and the idler pulley vanished (plastic) 4 auto shops later after returning the wrong one 3 times and she fired right up and took off like nothing happened. I think that pretty good for literally having her for 1 day. Since being here i have been trying to maintain and renew as funds allow. Not looking for coal or smoking tires just MPG and longevity. I have done rear diff oil, cabin lights, oil, filter, idler pulley, belt, and a good wash. There is not a spot of rust on this entire vehicle frame and all! I hope to continue to learn more from you guys! And any suggestions on what i should do, need to look out for just tell me and i will get on it. (already know about cavitation) Thanks again guys! Anyone who could answer some questions will be more then appreciated.
