HI All,

This is my first time ever Posting my build, updates but I wanted to share the things I have learned on here and give any tips on what I have done to hopefully help the next owner.

I have a 2013 Platinum with the 3.5 and has about 155,000 Miles. I bought this from a guy in Maryland and have started my TLC of the truck. Here are the mod/work I have completed so far.

8/1/24- Bought it, changed oil to Pennzoil 5w-30 Ultra Synthetic with Motorcraft Filter.
8/24- Found a Truck Cap on FB Marketplace for 300 Bucks and threw it on there! No keys and needs re-wiring. (To do list)
9/24- Changed Transmission Pan from Stock to Dorman - This sucked. Rusty Bolts stripped and gave me a hell of a time. Pics of the Rounded Bolt, New bolts from Home Depot- M6x 1.0 25MM and the new Pan and Gasket.

Rounded bolt that I had to beat a 7MM onto, chisel and ultimately got it off with a 8MM after hours of hammering over my head.

Leak at this Bolt....don't know what it is.

Rusy Pan

 

New Transmission Pan on!
