    tailgate dent - repair or replace?

    not looking for perfection but i'd like to straighten this. i know nothing about bodywork but that pdr looks like it can do wonders. i looked at it from inside and it looks too tough to get straight enough to be able to just push out. on the other hand this is a very common part (2004-2008...

    replaced seat in 2004 FX4

    i bought this truck last year and both front seats were very badly torn up. i just got around to replacing the drivers bottom (both pad and cushion). i did not have to remove seat from the vehicle or disconnect anything electrical.

    mechanics in here - what's my next step to find an intermittent drivetrain noise on F-150

    my 2004 f-150 (fx4) was running fine until i installed a new cowl and wiper blades and now all of a sudden it's making a loud banging sound when i drive it. (no i don't think the two are related lol) although i did use compressed air and a water hose to clean out leaves and such in the inner...

    bought another one! 2004

    i've owned an '04 2wd regular cab flareside STX since 2009 and still love it, but it's a stripped-down version with no power windows, etc, so lately i've been checking out some upgraded versions of the same truck. i only like 11th gens (2004-2008) because unlike any other late model 1/2 ton out...

    auto a/c. pag oil question

    i am going to recharge the system in my 2004 F-150 with refrigerant (r134a). the system is currently empty. it was discharged by a shop a couple of months ago. prior to this, the a/c was working, but it did not feel like it was blowing quite as cold as it had been. cool, but not really...

    does this ground strap have a part number?

    my local dealer can't find it and thinks that it is a part of the now obsolete battery/starter/ground harness. it's about a foot long and attaches from the driver's side motor mount bolt to the driver's side bottom of frame. but i'm thinking that it's not cobra specific and that all 99-04 v8...

    best engine stand?? for modular/coyote

    i pulled my terminator's engine for the first time the other day. i had bought a cheap (but 4 wheeled) engine stand off of craigslist a while back for it, but when i tried to bolt up the mounting plate, the arms could not reach all the way around the bellhousing (could only get three)...

    are all 4.6 2v and 4v midpipes the same? stock manifolds

    some manufacturers such as bassani and pypes show different part numbers that are specific to years and sohc/dohc. for example bassani 03/04 cobra and mach 1 are a different number than manual gt's and the 96-01 cobras. pypes told me they don't think their gt midpipes (they have both an x and...

    ATV/bike carburetor questions

    My brother-in-law asked me to take a look at his Honda Recon ATV. I think it’s a 2004 or so. Cranks over but won’t start. I pulled the gas tank and carb and there was a lot of crud in the gas tank. The petcock will probably need to be replaced because the intake tube up inside the tank is...

    I "downgraded" my radiator... (long read)

    Last week, out of the blue, the radiator on my 03 sprang a leak from the core area. Kind of a weird event, and I'll be interested in finding out exactly where it's coming from. I will probably end up bringing it to a company that repairs aluminum radiators, because I don't think it's something...

    Should I do a leveling kit?

    Will it cause premature wear on the ball joints and tie-rod ends? Vehicle is getting up there in miles but currently has no suspension problems so I don't want to cause any. I ask because it looks like a leveling kit sort of makes it like you are driving around at full jounce all the time (?)...
