    Transmission refill capacity

    Ok, I drained the fluid and got 7 quarts. I went ahead and installed the Moroso pan and it took a little over 9 quarts to refill. I like the pan, it came with studs instead of bolts so its easy to get it and the gasket lined up. I had to change the filter to a Motorcrafr FT113. The new pan...

    Spark plug blew out today

    I've never taken my truck to a car wash, but I did today. The drivers seat was a little dirty and the Hand Car Wash advertises on TV that they shampoo the seats. So I thought I'd have them clean it. The truck was in perfect condition and has never had any problems. I leave my truck running...

    I was going to buy a new Trans oil pan with a drain plug, but they are all deeper than stock and could be a problem with a lowered truck. They also cost $150+ I have used B&M's add-on drain plug kit on other vehicles but the nut always seems to back off on the inside of the pan when you...
