DreamHorse, Yep those are additional lights, Ford says they are for off road use, but they are just like the other fog lights. - Stiles

Michael, You are welcome, I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Randy, Yes, It is very very likely the Head Gasket! - Stiles

Chakra, You're Welcome, I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Jsir, You said "Stainless Steel", I'd take a look at Summit Racing Equipment, there are a few companies making them. For the OEM replacement, that are Steel with a protective coating, look at Rock Auto (link below) and Ford Parts. - Stiles www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2004,f-150,4.6l+v8,1422740,brake+&+wheel+hub,brake+line,1820

Bill, yep you have to make space for the Bearing. Nylon Nuts are normally taller, you have to find a short one, but yes that would work. Thanks for the comment! - Stiles

Earl, This method doesn't check anything, it simply puts the Rearend back the way it was. I appreciate the comment - Stiles

@@StilesAutomotive Puts the rear end back the way it was???? Thats retarded, to ASSUME it was correct as it was before. Also it is stupid to mark where the drive shaft was bolted to the differential pinion flange, BEING the drive shaft is balanced within itself and was never balanced with the differential at all. The drive shaft is balanced in where regardless if you bolt it back on a complete half turn from where it was cannot make any difference at all. Why do people justify being retarded?

Robert, My Tractor has a bracket that sticks down there that protects the Deck Belt. - Stiles

Robert, Good tip! I normally just use Needle Nose Pliers. I flatten out the Cotter Pin, then (sometimes) put the tip of the Pliers in the Eye of the Cotter Pin. I see your point, my Needle Nose is often to big, and your Dikes would work better. - Stiles

John, You are welcome, I'm glad to help, I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Accidentally posted

Accidents do happen, but to reduce the risk, never drink and text! LOL - Stiles

Kaye, Yes, All for are the same Wheel, same size and part number. - Stiles

Kaye, U-Tube does this to me sometimes too! I got 2 of the same comment from you. I replied: " Kaye, Yes, All for are the same Wheel, same size and part number. " - Stiles

DarkMeta, I'm with you! I always thought the same thing, but this shouldn't really change your mind. Allow me to explain, this is a great tent, I love it. But, this tent is made to a Military Specification and has to meet the requirements to be sold to the Military. You or I can sell stuff to the Dept. of Defense as long as we meet the requirements. I don't know may be Eureka is doing better with their Civilian Tent also. I appreciate the comment! - Stiles

Jose, I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Minstarss, You are welcome! - Stiles

Cathy, It sounds your cable (or cables) got messed up, twisted or something. This hasn't happened on my Tractor, but without the Deck attached you need to help the levers move underneath where they attach to the Deck. - Stiles

Ariek, Color is simply a preference. As a Military Guy, I think, when in the woods be subdued. That's the only reason I like the gray better. You are welcome and I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Tactical, Ok, that may help someone in the future that reads the comments! Thanks! - Stiles

Lynn, 😮😅!!! I appreciate the comment! - Stiles

Evan, You are welcome! Let me know how it goes! - Stiles

Jeremy, Great Tip! and I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Gary, Nope, not necessary. You only get the Transmission Fluid in the Lines and Cooler, the Transmission pumps the Fluid thru the System. However, when doing this work, now would be a great time to service/change the Transmission Filter and Fluid. - Stiles

@@StilesAutomotive I bought a used car. 125,000 miles. Trans fluid was never changed. Got a new pan and filter. They replaced 6 quarts. I am now kicking myself for not changing the cooler lines. They are rusty. I will go in soon. I just don't want my trans to start slipping if they change too much fluid too soon. Parts are ordered and are going to the dealer. I guess everything will be ok. Thank you for your response.

Mick, At about the 10 minute point in the Video, I talk about 2 different style of Hoses. Does that help you? - Stiles

Evan, the first thing is ensure you have a good Battery and it is fully charged. My Stiles Automotive Video, Charging and Starting Systems Troubleshooting may help you (see link below) - Stiles Charging & Starting Systems Troubleshooting: Engine Fails to Crank or Cranks Slow, May or Not Click czcams.com/video/POAIX4QaEhA/video.html

Mick, I not sure what you mean, here. At the Caliper there is a Banjo Bolt. Its Head is like the Head of a Normal Bolt, but the Banjo Bolt allows Brake Fluid to flow thru it. Just remove it like at Normal Bolt. I have other Stiles Automotive Video, which show Caliper replacement. - Stiles

Faith, Yes, it matches the Bottom of the Tent which is: 8 feet (2.44 m) wide x 9 foot 6 inches (114”)(2.9 m) long. - Stiles

Tracie, Yep this video may help, there are other reason for the Fault Codes, like Hose and Line leak (normally) under the Hood in the Engine Compartment, but this is an easy place to start and something you should do periodically anyway! - Stiles

Enjoy, did you try using a jumper at the FPDM like I showed in the video? Did it run strong? Do you have 12 Volts at the FPDM? Did you ensure the Impact Switch is ok and not actuated? - Stiles

@@StilesAutomotive I did turned out my pump was bad

Terry, Yep, sliding the Deck on anything other than Grass is easier. I chose to show how the Deck was designed to be installed. I take my Deck off each winter to store the Tractor, I was taking it off so I could use the Tractor with a Snow Plow, but that sucks compared to a Snow Plow on the F-150. I appreciate the comment! - Stiles

And put one washer under the nut on top of the spindle, to make the nut spin easier on the I beam.

Bud, Yep, you are right the Bearing needs the Washers for a long wear solution. And also they are a wear out assembly, replace them together when needed. A Cotter Pin is better than Loctite as some people suggested, but a Nut should stay tight from the torque applied to it and not rely on the Pin or Thread Sealer. In this case, a Cotter Pin work work, Cub Cadet uses a Flat Washer and Cotter Pin to hold the Front Wheel on! I appreciate the comment (and the other one too)! - Stiles

Don, My Nut has a Counter-Bore on the Flange side, put a Washer there would make it even tighter. - Stiles

Bud, Yes, very true. Do you ever read automotive forums? Mostly they are great, but there is so much non-value added crap that it is hard to fine the information you need. - Stiles

Hector, Yes, Diesel Fuel is a good idea, it similar to WD40. But, Brake Fluid you have to be careful with, it is so hard on the Paint. I appreciate the comment, hope it will help other readers. - Stiles

Zarch, you are welcome! - Stiles

Denise, You installed a new Fuse Panel in your F-150? If so sounds like you need to verify everything is hooked up correctly. - Stiles

MadCow, I appreciate the feedback! - Stiles

Harry, I'm with you and those should last for ever! But, aren't they hard? - Stiles
