    Fox coilovers

    Since I've gone to ORI struts I have no use for these Fox coilovers. They're 2.0 x 10" travel. No leaks oil or nitrogen. They will ship with no nitrogen. Worked great on my Bronco which had great flex. One has a bent aluminum lower bolt mount. May need new shaft or just the end piece...

    Dana 60 price?

    Having a hard time locating a Dana 60 High Pinion king pin. Finally found one for sale. The owner said it's from a 1979 and it's called the "snow fighter" of all things. Probably cause of the high pinion. But any rate, the guy is asking $800 or best offer. Is this a fair price? Hate to...

    2004 5.4?

    Have a chance to buy a 2004 F250 with 5.4 motor. But what I've read about the spark plug problem makes me wonder. Read that prior to 2003 the plugs did not have enough threads and then after that the redesigned plug with the longer reach got stuck and broke off. Should I just stay clear of...

    Atlas flanged brake

    Anyone have or used an Atlas flanged parking brake? I'm thinking of additional braking for steep down hill descents as in pulling up on the handle. There were times that shifting into neutral helped in the braking dept. Do I need to fab up a handle and cable thing? Remember this is an auto...

    EcoBoost geographically challenged?

    Was possibly thinking of buying a new 2013 EcoBoost F150 but after hearing they could really leave you in a bad situation as in engine falling flat on it's face, as in passing, this ain't going to happen. That's unless you live in state north of the Mason Dixon line that has lower Due Points...
