    im not sure if it is the same out there, but Ford here recomends 2 years or 48,000km for the tranny, but we fall under sever driving conditions out here so i dont know if it is that way there or not. And 96,000km on the transfer case.

    2005 F-150 lifts...anyone have one before?

    i thought about them but OMG they are expensive. The shock outside the frame will help with stability. I'm not sure why you're worried about flex when you're setting it up for prerunner style either. Also those brands aren't the best for prerunning anyways. i am going to set it up...

    Seafoam Dilemma

    also have to agree with this. the cummins diesel also reccomends a 5/40 synthetic oil from the factory. VW deisel require the 5/40 as well. i am all for the synthetic, i am just too cheap to pay for it with 400k on my engine. rear end is syn though
