thats the other flip side i kept reading... originals put on at factory would last forever... but it was the replacements that just didnt seem to last.. most the reports i kept finding people said they were going after 20K miles.. few of them saw 50K but no more...

 

Sad thing is, I think I trashed the factory ones not long ago or I'd put them back. They didn't clunk but "seemed" loose. Grrrrrr

 

i dont know if mine were factory ones on the truck or not... but they would "clunk" cuz the bushings were so far gone...



new energy suspension bushings


also had to drill the sway bar bolt holes a little wider as i had to change out the bolts too for wider ones... but was no biggy...

 

I really like energy suspension stuff. Been using it for years.

 

Shawn, those look factory, at least the one is.

Mine are blue or red now and after 15k, still no clunk yet

 

Sat here on my couch missing it while it's in the shop getting a a donor trans installed.

 

Celebrated Boxing Day by going for a drive - took the wife to hospital - nothing too dramatic, she's out again after a small op, followed by picking up and some hay and straw. Impressive what you can haul when you use the roof as well.

Once the wife was back the beast (F250) got a good clean. Second time this year, turns out its black underneath the mud.

Then got the front brakes finished. the brakes have been a never-ending story, starting in August, completed 2 days ago, new disks, calipers, pads all round. Now able to brake without 2 hands on the wheel

 

Just ordered oil cooler kit, 2 intake manifold gaskets, HPOP seal kit, injector harness, turbo reinstall kit and FICM relay

Now to sit here and try not to press place order for a $950 HPOP...

Im going to start reading write-ups on HPOP and oil cooler replacement. Any tips/tricks/special tools for this job? It seems like its fairly straight forward...just want to get it right the first time

 

fixed a vac hose on the front axle and replaced the valve on the fender have working auto hubs now, so i don't have to drive around all day with the front end locked in for the 3-4 times a day that i need 4wd for 30 seconds.

 

Sat at the house waiting on parts to show up so I can finish the truck and get it back home before I go back to work next week.

 

Installed the Mishimoto 200 degree thermostat and housing. Very impressed with it so far. Responds fast and temps are running ect 197-201 with EOC running 203-205 at 65mph for first run. 25 degrees today. Easy install for a rookie.

 

me too.. when i did the s10 i replaced everything with them...

the ones i pulled off you mean??

coming up on 30K with the energy suspension in there.. no clunk so far... still need to change the ones that mount to the axle though... been wanting to do energy suspension there too but my bars an odd size that they apparently dont do a kit for but have been trying to cross reference to see if i can go that route like i did on the s10..

 

Well I just went for a drive and picked up some parts for my "New to me" Plasma Cutter
and a new holster

But on the 6.0 side of things I did some rooting around and finally decides to sell some things I don't need.
I posted them over in the classified.
The things that might be of interest here are the Snap On Solus,Torqueshift core trans and a set of 5" rear blocks.
