Brakes

I just changed the brakes on my 01 F-150, and it was much easier then any of the early and mid 90's pickups I've had. I also like the dual piston front calipers, they're very beefy units. After the change, I took it for a spin and did a few hard stops; no shaking, sqeaking, or pulling.

Now for them spark plugs...

Use 1/4" breacker bar with 7mm on the number 7 coil. It fits just right under the fuel rail.
