Fixed my coat hook the guy who installed the power sliding back window stripped being a little over zealous with his power screwdriver. Then while I had part of the interior trim loose, I went ahead and switched the right side shoulder belts, the one in the front was a little too long since the floor attachment on the crew cab is about 1 1/2" higher than a standard cab. After that I relocated the CD changer a bit further to the left and forward to allow the wiring for the window drive motor a bit more clearance.

 

You'll be fine with that mix. Just a little heavy like that won't do any harm.

 

I usually go 70/30 on the coolant.

 

Thanks for the reply guys. I'd hate to try to calculate how to get back to a 50/50 mix

Steve if you have the diesel you need to run the Ford additive to prevent cavitation.https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-additive.html

 

I do have the diesel. I bought zerex G-05 antifreeze which is approved by pretty much every Diesel engine mfg'er I know of. I should have a year or so before needing to add sca's, but I will keep track of it, I hate to screw up a good running engine.

I added a water filter to mine. This way I can just use the pre charged sca filters. Adding a filter is easy and it keeps the coolant looking brand new yrs.

 

I'll look into those, but for now that's pretty low on the priority list. Next in line has to be new radius arm bushings and axle pivot bushings.

Steve

 

Oh yeah, that's a pretty major front end job Steve. I have to do that to the Bronco. I am going to do everything on the front end when I do it too.

 

I'm going to do the radius arms first, see what difference that makes. It's the easy half. There is a video on YouTube "FORD F-250 I BEAM POVOT REPLACEMENT" which makes the job look doable for an old man and his grandson. But mine will be done in my driveway w/jack stands, a floor jack, and a couple of bottle jacks. Should be interesting.

Steve

 

Be careful and especially with your grandson there.

 

I did a body swap...

Truck on Monday







Reason for body swap



Today

 

You had free ventilation in the floor. Great on a hot day....

 

Haha yeah! It's scary to think it actually held me when I drove it! It's worse in person

 

I think my cab looks as good as it does from the bottom because of the oil leaks. Kept the cab well lubed.....
