Next up I think is a AFE DFS 780 filter/pump install on my truck to attempt to get my fuel system to last longer; i.e. rid the fuel of all entrained air in the fuel.
Stayed tuned.
This...☝😃👍

These are custom made Towing mirror gears for the mirrors only. These are not the telescoping gears but apparently they can be custom made if need be. I have a set of these in case but have never taken apart my mirrors. There are instructions on the webpage. Check it out.
GruvenParts.com is PROUD to release these SOLID BRASS gears, hardened steel center shafts, and high torque replacement motors for the Ford truck power folding TOW mirrors ! The helical cut brass gears exactly match the Ford plastic version and are MUCH STRONGER so they will not chip, strip, or break. The center shafts are machined in house from hardened steel to exactly match the OEM shape. And, our tried and true reliable high torque replacement motors have the factory correct wiring plug and come with a new motor-gear preinstalled as well - PLUG AND PLAY, READY TO DROP IN ! This is a GREAT WAY to save about $1300 per side, as Ford will not sell the gear or motor separately - instead, they make you buy an entire new power folding/telescoping mirror assembly (with more plastic gears and failure prone motors that will also soon break). Dont throw away your hard earned money!
FIX // STRENGTHEN // IMPROVE YOUR TOW MIRRORS AND SAVE THOUSANDS !!!
The replacement brass gear comes either pre-attached to a newly machined steel main shaft, or save a few bucks and easily attach a single loose gear to your existing main shaft via 24 hour cure epoxy, such as 24 hour JB weld. The pre-attached option is faster, if you dont want to wait for the 24 hour epoxy to cure as it will come with the brass gear section pressed onto a new main center shaft, ready to install. We suggest the pre-attached option as it may run more true (depending on how good you are at using epoxy).
PLEASE NOTE : When ordering the pre-attached option, there is driver side and passenger side option, so please choose accordingly.
The replacement high torque motor comes with its own motor-gear already pressed on and is ready to drop in - it plugs right into the Ford wiring harness. This is a stronger more reliable motor !
You will need 2 motors and 2 gears to fix 1 Power Folding Mirror. You will need 2 power extend motors to fix power extend on both sides as well. Chose your options from the drop down menu when ordering and note the package pricing to save $$ !!
These gears and motors carry a LIFETIME WARRANTY !
Please Note : The brass gears will not replace the power telescoping gears. If you need assistance with power telescoping gears, please hit "Contact Us" and let us know about it, we can build those too if people want them ! We already do offer the power telescope motors, which are not the same as the power fold motors.
This product fits all F150/250/350/450/550/650 Ford Trucks with the TOWING power folding mirrors from 2008-Present. The following list of part numbers is in NO WAY complete, we will be adding to this frequently.

This is great news for anyone that has broken a gear because they have auto-fold configured and the mirror froze. I don't have that issue here in South Texas, but those up north that deal with stuff freezing, this is a great find.

Thanks Overkill2 for the info!! Reps sent!!
Thanks! I actually sprayed Fluid Film in the cracks between the mirror mount and the arms. I then folded and unfolded a few times to get it underneath there. I then wiped off the excess. I had mine freeze a few times but knock on wood, nothing broke.

I gotta imagine you would be able to do it in FORscan. But I've never heard of it.

Changed my oil the other day. I'm organizing all the pics on my phone so I'm gonna post some here.
Here a pic of the MC filter that I've run since the truck was new. There's the EZoil drain valve on the pan. I'm an@l retentive so I run a clip on the bottom in case. Those are Filter Mags on my filter so If anyone has any questions, let me know. I've been running them since they d@mn near came out.
Bought a 3 pack of these awhile ago from Amazon at a good price, so since I didn't buy a FD2051S, I'll use one.
All set ready to go. Prior to putting the Filter mags back on. If that shock and the area there look wet, I recently had the truck sprayed at Carwell Products. It's a red oil product that spray on the outside, under the hood and into the door and body.
More pics later of my Filtration Solutions FS2500 oil bypass filter.
