    What brand of o2s did you use? I'd stick with oem or denso if not oem

    More in depth high mileage maintenance

    I usually change out brake fluid at the 100k point, during whatever brake service occurs near that point. Replacing the rubber lines is good preventative as well.

    What size tires should I get?

    I bought a set of their e rated dextero tires a couple trucks ago. Worked out far better than I had hoped for. But I was a little more cost sensitive for that purchase than I am now, if that helps with perspective.

    Source for black plastic fasteners with screw in middle on top of radiator that holds that big black plastic piece...

    Harbor Freight has a nice assortment of these types of retaining pins. Pretty cheap, I have used that set a few times on different vehicles.

    What is this box on my air intake for?

    Something to keep in mind, the paper filters keep out smaller particulate than the oiled cotton media does. I have not looked into the reusable dry stuff.

    What is this box on my air intake for?

    It's just for noise. Swap the 07 kit on and see how it sounds, if it has provisions to mount your maf meter.

    What size tires should I get?

    Eh, think there was a 18 and 20 inch wheel option, with each of their respective tires ending up with the same width and od. If you want to keep your current wheels, that will drive the tire size to begin with.

    2010 eating wheel bearings

    How are you tightening the halfshaft nut? An impact will do damage, as will under or over torque by hand.

    Documenting: 2014 5.4l 3 valve early oil pump and tensioners upgrade

    I did mine at about 100k. Very lite occasional noise on startup. Both tensioner seals had failed, so I think your making the right choice. Added high volume pump at same time.

    MOVED: New member from Michigan

    I disabled that on my 2013. Just disconnected the connector to the sensor, then you have full control over wipers. The auto feature rarely seemed to get it right for me. Either too slow or running at high speed.

    Catalytic Converter code and white smoke

    Burning coolant can kill a o2 sensor, and foul a cat, and provide some white smoke from the exhaust

    No crank/no start after oil pressure light

    If it's just in the cap I wouldn't worry. Natural spot for some condensation to collect.

    No crank/no start after oil pressure light

    Maybe see if you can wrench the engine over from the crank bolt. By milky oil are you saying it appears to have coolant whipped in it? Could drain the pan, let it sit and see if you have any separation.

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    I've never had a in tank pump fail when the tank is empty. Weird how that works. Heavy, and always dirt and rust falling in your face. At least up here in the rust belt. Id be tempted to off load that job.

    AC Pressure High before filled to capacity

    Your correct, pressure should equalize across the system with engine off. Must apologize I never looked at your Pic, just went with pressures listed in your post

    AC Pressure High before filled to capacity

    What's ambient temp? Those numbers seem ok for about 60 f. Guessing it's hotter than that. Look for a pressure chart and that will help. Bet it needs the extra 10oz. And I'd stay away from the magic additives and sealers. And verify electric fan is on of so equipped

    How to stop upper control arm from hitting springs after a lift

    I've been thinking about these from rough country. My 2013 uppers hit the springs with just a little downward travel.

    330k miles without engine work

    Did the timing set, with followers on my 2013 this past winter. Used melling timing set, can't recall who's followers, and the melling high volume pump. Think I was into about 650 with parts and the stupid special tools to compress springs and orient crankshaft. Runs fine now, noise gone...

    Turbo Boost causes CB buzz

    Possible alternator noise that's based on rpm? If your making boost engine is typically underload and climbing in rpm. Just a thought

    Cam Cap possible mix-up 5.4 3v

    At this point I would just run it. Os the cap at least on the correct journal? If so, just fire it up.

    Recirculation water heater

    A remote start would help too. Give the engine some time to heat up before you get in.
