Just knocked out another oil change and installed 6 new spark plugs
Mileage is still up......but the constant knocking in the suspension or drivetrain is back. Worse than ever.
Coming up on 58,000 miles, so the Durtracs have around 41,000 on them.
I would guess by next summer they will need to be replaced........

Ball Joint?
Probably another one of the other Ball Joints failing. Try the #3 Dealer where you had your last successful suspension noise repair. Hope it is repaired much quicker for you this time.

I added a drain valve to the bottom of the JLT catch can, which will make draining the can so much easier
Just drilled and tapped a hole in the bottom of the aluminum can, and screwed on a mini ball valve
Works great.......I will get some pics up soon
I did have a rattle develop under the truck and found a broken factory exhaust clamp near the tcase. More quality parts from Ford?
63,000 miles........oil change probably in 3 weeks

Every 4 days............full
Adding a valve will make draining the junk a lot easier and faster
Drilled a hole and taped the threads........pleased to find the bottom was thick enough for some threads
Yes, I know the valve is "open"............I closed it after taking the picture

I had the same broken exhaust clamp. Do you get overly frustrated when changing your own oil? It makes a complete mess and that oil filter drain is DUMB!!!

The oil change isn't that bad, I just remove alot of the undercarriage shields, which makes for a longer oil change......but also alot less messy
I jack up the front of the truck to make the oil drain rearward
it's still a poor design, but it works

The clunking is back and it's bad again
I can only assume it's the driveshaft splines need greasing again
I am out of warranty come May 2019
I really don't want to pay a $100 deductible and the inconvience of a dealer having my truck for 8 hours
I might do it myself........or explore a one piece driveshaft option
