With a quick look at the fuel filter change thread it was off and new one on in just under five minutes. That's even with taking a few sips off the Bud Select!!!

Oil change w/6" lift was so much easier!!! Good thing the last guy didn't tighten the oil filter w/strap wrench or anything, came off by hand. If I didn't heat the oil up by running the motor I woulda been done w/fuel filter and oil change in under 30mins!!!

Decided to run some Prolong w/the engine oil just for kicks n grins. Even filled out the engine warranty card and will send it in. Next payday the differentials are getting new fluids.

 

Sweet! This site has helped me on a few things as well.

 

Way to go!

 

Congrats It feels good to get that stuff done yourself

 

Thnx fellas. Royal Purple gear lube coming in 13 days!!!!

 

Due to this site I just did that on my rear. I'm going to do my front next week......One thing I always go mixed reviews on is adding or not adding the friction additive from ford so I said what they hell and grabbed a bottle and added it with Royal Purple, guess it can't hurt.

I picked up Royal Purple from pep boys who carries it in my area. After the front gets done time to tackle the spark plug change...

 

Whats the thread to change the gear oil? I also have some Royal Purple gear lube ive been waiting to put in.

 

I just poked around the search section:

and also caught a show on my tivo, Motorz, which was helpful:

I used Red RTV for my gasket, applied bead around lip, circle screw holes, hand tighten till RTV came out of sides, let sit for 45 min then tighten down with ratchet.

 

You had better luck than me then.

I only got one drink in. Sit it down on the driveway and kicked it over when I crawled underneath to change my fuel filter. :o

 

Alcohol abuse is not tolerated on these forums!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Funny you mention that,,,,,,,I was gonna add a line at the end of my last post stating something to the effect that I want to tackle the plugs. However, I am skeered poopless to even attempt it.

MXracer: Sorry for your loss, I'll drink a cold one in your favor tonight for ya. Haaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

No problem. He had plenty of buddies on reserve duty.

 

FWIW, the Mustang gear kits we sell we include 2 bottles of royal purple and a bottle of friction modifier.

 

UPDATE!!!! Did some research after my last post and by no way am I using Royal Purple. I'll pay xtra and use AmSoil thank you very much. Certified tests show RP not finishing that well at all and this truck has to last me awhile.

 

that link on the forum didn't work.
