Default Ford Failiar Down to a Fine Sience

Today I noticed a puddle of transmission fluid under the truck on the floor of my garage. How do they get so accurate with failed parts 2 weeks after the powertrain warranty expires?

There must be a lot of R&D that goes into these parts to fail soon after the warranty expires.

We must of went to the same school! Pulled this from your other post.

I actually do have the stock bumpers... for now (spring project will be new bumpers front and rear - made by yours truly - 30 years of certified welding better start paying off! But for now I use the hitch receiver at the rear or the push guard at the front. Even though I have a chain grab from HiLift, the oem bumpers woild just crumple I fear.

Made my own mounting brackets. I hate that not many F150 accessories are available. Like I made a "dead pedal"; what a great thing to have for long drives or off roading. If I want something, I just have to make it myself.

Really? I and U are next to each other. On a smart phone it'd be pretty easy to miss one and hit the other.

Just like you could have done with failure.

When at work I see coworkers **** the bed and do the wrong thing on an install. These same mother ****ers claim you should never buy foreign. Sorry for my language but you guys who think North American built means anything well I got a surprise for you, there are lazy mother ****ers here at home to.

Sorry for the language but its true.



One thing for sure is I wont buy a China vehicle but they dont sell those here.

Why would you want to turn a wrench anyways when you can make 15 hr flipping burgers?

I won't disclose what I make but its far higher than 15 an hour.


I turn wrench because I love it, and I love the satisfaction of fixing equipment.

That was a bit of sarcasm bud, not a poke at you. I was generally agreeing with us having lazy people with no give a **** attitudes here in North America.
