Part #/source request

Recently I broke one of the tabs off that holds the tool kit in place. I would like to replace the plastic only, but will purchase the entire support if needed.

I have looked around a bit and have found some items on eBay, but nothing new or that looked much better than what I have.

New is preferred, but fully intact amd functional is acceptable.

Thanks!

May I suggest fabricating one out of aluminum extrusion and spring clips? It will be stronger and look better.

Believe you have the two ton jack variant, which would put it as F81Z-17A038-AB. Available from Tasca for ~$8.

I knew I could count on you fellas!

I am not opposed to aluminum and robust, but for $8 I can be one and done.

Perfectly understandable Sous. I will admit I tend to overengineer things.

But it's not $8....You have the shipping/handling profit center as well. I sure FTN has a fancy 3D printer waiting...

That is true, but I may get the other side as well to equalize shipping a bit.

Or, if I refuse to pay more for shipping than the item, Leonard and I have discussed viable solutions via text.

Either way, I am grateful I stopped looking after coming up with nothing and came here for help.

I was using key words like lug, tools, wrench, etc... Couldn't find it...

A local dealer was able get those parts for me. All that stuff was missing on my truck except for the jack itself luckily. I hadn't had much luck digging up part numbers online either.

There is a Ford dealer in the next town over from us. I will drop in and see what they say.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is what happens when you clean your engine bay too often.

That guys hair is too short and so is his beard for that to be me!

I was using 2 thick blankets over the radiator when swapping the 363 SXE turbo and RR fuel lines in. I put my hand over there to balance and heard it snap.

I was hopeful the extension would stay in place, but that is not the case. The end of the extension was resting on the top radiator outlet.

So, I will replace at least that one and the other side too if it works out when we get home.

Sounds like you need a topside creeper! Or…I’ll need to bring mine over when we do our injector swap this fall 😳

I agree, I do need one!

But, there is no room to store it and maybe not room to use it in front of the truck when in the garage. The Ranch Hand is a great attached top side creeper.

I used to hang 2x bonded 2x12 boards from the tow hooks before I had the Ranch Hand. Poor man's top side creeper.

Although, I am all for using the creeper when you come up for the injector swap. There is plenty of room in the Ex for it to fit I am sure.

Sandra can come and you can either park the camper on our property or at the lake 3 miles away.

Easy day!

Store the Topside Creeper hanging from the garage ceiling with the aid of two cheap HF bicycle pulley hangers.


I could use one that lets me reach further into the back of the engine compartment though.

I take that jack stuff off at put it aside when there is going to be any extended leaning over the front of the engine bay, so it doesn't poke or scrape my forearms. And I keep one of those Harbor Freight foldable aluminum footstools with me in the truck which has come in handy before. In a pinch the spare tire also works and wont slip out from under you.
