    Harry … why wouldn’t you get tire covers that match the booties you bought to cover the rear view mirrors and windshield wipers?

    John,

    If you have a Cricket come look at what I did to get mine into the bay. It is a little tricky and it is easier if you see it rather than me trying to explain.

    I agree with Jon! Fuel filter wouldn’t cause the turbo not to work.

    And like Tom, Mine had been replaced under the recall also..

    The new one was different then the one I removed, so they must have changed the design again…

    Use an ohm meter and test the pins on the harness. Easy enough to do.

    That’s how I found mine was bad. I had replaced the sensor first and that didn’t fix it, so I tested the harness and found there was no continuity from end to end on one of the pins.

    I had this same issue last year on my spring drive to the shop. No bucking, just low boost pulling onto the highway and on grades. It was 100% the fuel filter. Just clogged enough to run lean under high demand. Relieved it was an easy fix.

    Granvil,

    My automatic F-150 is a cinch to tow.. Engine off key on, shift to neutral, rotate 4 wheel drive knob 5 times, key off and go.

    Dick,

    We use an HP Officejet 250 Mobile All-in-One printer. We are full timers and use it regularly, so ink drying isn’t an issue for us. WiFi, Scans to thumb drive, Copies, Color prints, and has a relatively small footprint with low profile.

    How many miles driven in each week? How is fuel economy? Any issues with temperature or oil pressure?

    By the way, I am not insisting on new replacement parts. I would like to get the breather assembly replaced before my next long travel in mid-February.

    We really have not used it in high congestion areas. We have both Sprint (FMCA) and Verizon. Verizon is by far better when on the road. Sprint drops out frequently, even on interstate highways. We like to stream music while traveling so Sprint is useless.

    Once we get to our location, we check to see if we have a good Sprint signal. If so, we will swap out the SIM card and put in the Sprint one. It is unlimited and we can stream up to two high-def movies at once, usually.

    October 2, 2018 at 10:35 am in reply to: Help with front leaking hub

    The hub seal is on the inner part of the hub and the inner portion rides on the spindle and sits stationary, the outer portion is press fit into the hub and rotates with the hub. That is what I have called a hub seal.

    The hub cap seal is just a gasket that sits behind the hub cap you showed in the photo. Usually once the gasket is installed and the cap tightened, if there are no leaks it usually does not leak until or unless it is disturbed. The cap comes off with six screws and unless the gasket has been bonded to the cap or hub it comes off as a loose part. If not you have to scrape the mating surfaces with a scraper or razor blade. Obviously regardless of which part is being replaced you have to drain the hub. You can drain it by loosening the cap and catching it in a pan, but if the leak is just the cap you will not have to remove the wheel and catching it is not as easy as with the wheel removed.

    After draining there is still going to be a bunch of oil in the low portion of the hub so if it is the inner seal being replaced plan on tipping the hub before it is completely removed to drain what is left.

    Is the rear of the wheel soaked with a black grease? If so it is likely to be the inner hub seal and not the gasket.

    The previous comment about the pin hole refers to a needle sized hold in the red center plug. That hole needs to be open to let the hub breathe as the oil heats up and expands and then cools down. If it is blocked the inner part of the hub can get some pressure in it.

    Not true… Give me a break, aren’t we talking present day? Yes it worked prior to the update, but not after. If you got an extra week, I’m glad.
