Next time you tune up dont forget the Hollow Spark pPug wires and the EXTRA retardent plugs.

Dont forget to periodically replace your clutch belt and your Forged Kuhneutson Valve, the number one sign of a Kuhneutson failure is reduced bored on your engine blcok.
Also remember to replace your Air Filter Bypass Kit with every Blinker Fluid change.
Other misc. things to check are
Piston Return Springs
Camshaft Rotational Dampener
Radiator Insulation Bezel
Motor Block Oil Bypass Kit
"O" Pipe (provides 100% back pressure)

I was told I need to get the Gyroscopic inertia dampner located on my steering wheel fixed. Can anyone tell me how much this will cost? Is it vital? Thanks. I also noticed that my brake rotors had rust on them after my truck sat for a while, so I called the local dealership and they told me that they need to be replaced!

Don't forget that you need a left-handed metric adjustable wrench to get that off. And while you're at the store getting that, you also need some liquid steam, some new level bubbles, and checkered spray paint.

And don't forget to periodically readjust the Peterson rod, and clean the Johnson valve while you have the framistat removed (it's easier to get to that way). And most important, remember to lube the doohickey that hooks up to the whooziewhatsit.

I cant belive ya all forgot to rember about oiling the belts. theyll last 3 times as long if ya oil em up good. also dont forget when waxing to put a good layer of elbow greese on before the wax. really helps the wax to come off quicker. also when changing them muffler bearings alwasy use a good dose of alwasy seize to keep em hard to slide off. with all the cold air going thro there they can come lose real quick.

I think Ford forgot to putthe wobulator shaft in the 04 150s thus causing the vibration
