Yep, OE stands for original equipment, like your thermostat. A part that came stock on your vehicle.Then there's OEM, which is the manufacturer of the OE part. So one is a part, one is a factory of some sort. Which would you rather install on your vehicle? Jeez, Eric, does it take a furriner...

Wouldn't that be an OE (thermostat) in English? After all, it's a part, not a manufacturer, right?

I obviously also have vehicles with many more miles on them, and even the older ones have never been subjected to dealer service. Like GNBRETT, a dealer would be about the last place I took anything of mine. That includes for recalls. Either I fix whatever needs to be done myself (paying for...

His world includes Furds. Sorry, I can't relate to it.

Here I thought that intellectuals don't speak these days. They're busy walking around holding signs at mostly peaceful gatherings.

demon, are you insinuating that 2nd resembles an intellectual?

Yeah, I know of one with 18 miles on it. No service records whatsoever, though.

Alright, looks like the Votex P/N for the diff is DP009. At least that's what I have the most empty bags of. And don't forget that there are other sources. You could always Google "Google", and once on Google you'll find several.

But of course, this thread is about an F-150 after all. Don't worry, I'll clean a spoon off and go to the garage tomorrow morning, get the part number (for one brand), so I can feed it to you.

That would depend on which manufacturer you decide to go with, and for what vehicle. There are several to pick from. For the FCA/Stellantis vehicles I use mostly Votex.

Believe it or not, but it takes a lot less time to check and fill up fluids as needed than to deal with the potential consequences. Plus, I hate noisy gear sets. Not that setting up new gears is rocket science, but it's not all that fun either. Still kicking myself for not changing the fluid in...

People sometimes give me crap for not driving a new (or new to me) vehicle until I've checked all fluid levels and that all fasteners are tight, or at least present. I pick the vehicle up, then it goes directly from the trailer to the lift. As I'm checking, magnetic level plugs go into...

You could easily put a pool in the back. The garage section is 20 feet long. For a sauna, just go visit DavidKFla and don't use the A/C. Breakfast? Sorry, you're on your own. Unless you become breakfast when stepping out and there's a hungry gator just outside the door. Then you're really on...

Would this be more to your liking?

I'm afraid I won't get your vote then. First, I don't like working on things that can't be welded. Also, the turning radius when pulling a gooseneck would be severely limited due to the narrow door. Nowhere near as elegant, but I did foolishly build a "camper tray" for mine so I could put a...

Hey, those are no longer bugs. And I'm really surprised I didn't find a second bird in the grille when coming back home. Wasn't going quite fast enough, I guess.

Fixed.

Only the '18. The other one doesn't have the tasteful stripes, and isn't running on all eight. Besides, I'm saving that one for a potential third entry now that I've noticed the flaw in the rules. So if I enter three each months for the next eight months, I have three times better chance to win...

After rereading the rules, again, I don't see anything that prohibits me from entering several times. So, with the taxi crowds' votes already secured, I now followed BULL's advice, sort of, and present the Challenger. Photographed towards the top of that same hill that's so often in my photos...

Like jonx96, I use Amsoil in diffs with good results. I try to get the break-in crap out at around 500 miles, then check the magnetic level plug every now and then to make sure things are still good in there.
