Ordered fr/rr wagner thermoquiet ceramic pads from Amazon.

 

yesterday my tierod pulled out of the adjusting sleeve 1 hour from home and i happened to have a cordless drill and a nut and bolt to put through the sleeve and tierod, does that count? lol

 

Incase you don't know there is a rebate on ThermoQuiet pads from Federal Mogul.

about to go do some more buffing.

when i get to the bed should i take my 4x4 stickers off?

 

I would leave them, they look good on your truck!

 

i think they do too, but ive always been a fan of clean and debadged stuff. i love how this is coming out, im getting 95 percent of my swirls and small scratches out. i cant wait for the sun to come out so i can really look at it.

 

Changed the fuel filter. It was dirty brown fuel out the back end. Also cleaned some weird Goo out of the glove box from previous owner. Lol. And re-torqued lug nuts after about 500 miles.

 

delete it looks so much better, i may get 4x4 or fx4 decals from a super duty in the future haven't decided

 

I changed the passenger rear door window regulator today. While I've never changed one on this model of truck, it was far simpler than I expected. Took about 35 minutes for the change. Would have been faster but the clip that holds the door latch cable gave me a fit. I used a Dorman lifetime warranty part rather than the Ford. The old one broke the cable at the connector. If you have one of these break, front or rear, you'll need metric and standard sockets but it's not a problem labor wise. I used a 1/4" drive set. You might even consider putting in new door speakers while you have it apart. Four screws, unhook it and reinstall is all there is to it for speakers.

 

I want to throw some FX4 stickers on mine one day...

 

yeah the ones that have the red FX with the beige 4

 

Looks good. Can't wait to see it all finished up.

 

I think I read the doorman ones seemed stronger? So far I haven't had any issues *knock on wood*

 

thanks, i cant either.

it did wierd out on me once today. i was driving along on flat road, gryphon shows me common gear, i was in 4th with the tq locked, started up a small hill so it started to just chug along, slowly loosing momentum (always does) so i goosed it a little, usually it will kickdown to 3rd and unlcok the converter, but it kicked down to 3rd and left the tq locked, it was a little jerk, so i thought, hmm thats odd, so i goosed it again, and it went down to 2nd and left the tq locked. then it realized what it was doing and unlocked. hasnt done it since. im getting paranoid about my transmission over here. i hope i just freaked it out.

i do have the shift points for 3-4 changed in my gryphon, i think i have it at +6 mph, and the tq lock point i think i left alone, so sometimes, it will run through 3rd, then shift to 4th and lock the tq all in one fluid motion. gonna fix the tune tomorrow and see what it does

 

Putting stereo system in. Wow. There is plenty of room but that also means so much work. It takes a while to get all these panels off and run the wiring clean.
