Here's my recipe for making an adapter so you can use a standard 3/8 drive
ratchet to lower your spare tire.  Get a 5/16 apex tip holder (like a Sears
Craftsman p/n 44369).  I can't remember if the holder comes with any tips,
but you'll need a tip (like a #2 philips).  You don't actually need the
philips tip because what you need is the 6 sided part that slides into the
holder.  Take a file and file down 2 opposite edges of this tip so you end
up with a square shape that will fit into the bar that goes into the spare
tire winch assy.  Attach this to your ratchet and slide it into the bar you
removed from under the hood of your truck and crank away.  Works like a
charm.  If I didn't communicate the directions very well, email me and I'll
try again.

Hey Superduty List.

I have been enjoying my new (for me) truck for about a month now.

I want a cap for the back.  What should I be looking for.
Any brand recommendations.  So far I know of Leer.
Any advice on profile - raised roof, sliding windows etc...

How secure are caps.  Is a tonneau cover better?
Will a tool box still fit in the box with a cap on?

Thanks In Advance

Nope. Sorry. I've got a V-10 and I put the Banks PowerPack on it and a K & N
FIPK(Fuel Injection Performance Kit) and a Granatelli MotorSports MAS(Mass
Air-Flow Sensor). Mileage around town increased between 10-16%. From about
8.8 to 9.7 - 10.2. I don't baby the gas pedal either. Recent trip from
Mission Viejo, CA to Datil, NM & return average 13.05 (highway, hills, dirt
roads, etc.).

I DO know that fuel requirements for a gas engine change from regular to
PREMIUM. PS's have no such requirement, obviously!

Subject: 5w-20 motor oil


       Anybody try to find any 5w-20 motor oil? My 2001 F-250 (5.4 gas)
owners
manual calls for it (yes, this grade is also marked on the oil filer
cap, so no mis-print!).

       I tried about 5 places around Houston, but no one stocks it.
Altho it
could be ordered.

       It looks like Ford is revising their oil specs for the 5.4
engine and
the retailers haven't caught up yet.
