Ah, it's the opposite here. Hard water from the hose (water spots) and perfectly soft and clean water from the sky.

Says the guy with free water injection.

Meanwhile, mine gets clean when it rains. No water spots, no alligators, life is good. Wish we got some more rain, though, even if it's too late to save the grass. But that's temperature related.

Two feet?? They would be devastated with two inches of snow. Red Cross would have to come help them out.

Hey, the gravy train is fully loaded. If you can't get your money now you'll never see it. And with high interest rates, this really is a good time.

It's a good thing that nothing else has gone up by 20-some percent in the past few years.

It's a simple procedure, really. Change the oil, put some Star Tron in the tank, park it, hook up the BatteryMINDer as usual, and call it good.

That may not be his castle, just his garage.

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...
