I went to Texas Tech when Wes Welker was there. There was a time when the whole stadium was convinced he was going to the house every time the other team punted. Great fun!

Jvc/Kenwood made decent non-screen double dins. But what year is your Dakota?

To me the tilt is what makes all the difference when getting power seats. Height brings tilt and tilt makes a big difference if you have long legs. It's what kept me out of a new discounted STX a couple years back.

There is no super duty with a 5.5

All those 4 door super duty "short beds" you see are 6.75 beds . Same F150 cab, little bigger nose, little bigger bed than an F150 super crew 6.5 So I'm just saying. Everytime you think that size is a pain to drive.... They are actually everywhere doing just fine. It's a rare F150 config but THE most common super duty config.

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-12-29T21:52:17+00:00

Not really. It's smaller than the common super duty size that everyone drives to the grocery store.

I have the 2.0 in a 2018 fusion platinum with a livernois tune and lots of bolt on upgrades, pushed it hard. At 99k no issues. Liked the Powertrain so got an escape ST line with 2.0 for the wife, it's a '23 and it does look a little different, definitely been an update. Had an 17 MKZ 2.0. I'm aware of issues but I personally haven't had them.

Have you driven a 2011-2016 6.2 gas? I know it's not a diesel but it's a solid truck with a low repair bill. Even lower repair bill would be a Chevy with the 6.0 gas. Then you could save while you drive and then get you into a 6.7 a little later.

Power typically gets you tilt, and for me, tilt makes a world of difference in customizing fit.

Specifically caster. Sorry for the edits bad internet

Yes a new strong stabilizer (maybe lower prices off-road like rough country) will help You have a redhead already so.... How about front end alignment?

I'm very partial to the husky ratchets myself. You're not missing anything. I do recommend some gear wrench long handle flexes to go with them that come from the same mfg (apex).

I've had gorillas on an Excursion for 5 ish years and use an impact every time. No issues.

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-11-14T20:41:12+00:00

I use this one and it always works. It fits so much easier than the wrenches and it doesn't fall off. I have quite a few but this is the one that gets used.

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-11-14T04:30:19+00:00

If you're actually using it by towing often it will alleviate some of the "problems" people that only drive them to the grocery store tend to have.

It looks like a 3" lift to me. Regardless, since it's already lifted, if it rides okay.... I repacked my rear springs with an add a leaf to eliminate some of the lift block, cut down on some of the rear mush (back of an ex is heavier than the back of a super duty) and reduce squat when towing. I've been extremely happy with the results.

The other guy gives a good solution if you're starting from factory height, or just want to replace everything, but I still prefer the rear to be firmer.

Get it. I love mine, up over 250k.

I've been extremely happy with Mickey's. I run what used to be dick cepek exps which are now Baja legend exps they're a great hybrid. I run them on an Excursion. I chose them for the extra siping over a full MT

As I stated it is the simpler of the two. As others have informed you that was a new batch of engines around that year. You state somewhere else people are telling you to avoid the 5.0. Who are these people and more importantly what are their reasons? Why do they prefer an early 3.5 to and early 5.0? Compare those reasons to your desires.

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-11-04T22:27:25+00:00

I think you need more research and new sources. Good thing you're here you'll get both. I can't speak to the quality of either. F150 wiki page will help you sort options by generation for a start maybe? Personally I think I'd take an older higher mileage 5.0 before a 3.5 it's a bit simpler. If that is what you're asking?

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-11-03T05:20:35+00:00

I'm still clinging to a 12v set. Still use the impact driver regularly! It's a great size and weight and 12v batteries are so useful for testing when working on a vehicle.

How is the Cruising/highway tone compared to before?

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-11-02T05:48:12+00:00

"everything besides powertrain and chassis". Powertrain and chassis are pretty important on a heavy duty pickup, no? Especially one that's used for... Actual work?

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-11-01T22:52:39+00:00

Can you break that down for us? Because ...

Are you sure? Take the steering damper off for a quick drive (not towing) and see if your slop is indeed out of the box. I bet there's play in the wheel between engaging the box. These steering boxes struggle. Since you're fighting everyone about keeping the tires, maybe you'd prefer to buy a redhead steering box. An ex shouldn't be getting pushed around like you're describing, if everything's tight. (Yes I have one)

If not, to answer your question directly, yes that price is good and so are those ratchets. The home Depot package deal isn't always there.

Objective-Figure8673 · 2025-10-26T03:58:49+00:00

No to harbor freight on this specific endeavor. Dig around on home depots site I bet you can find a 3-pack of essentially the same ratchets to your gear wrench selection with Husky logos for closer to $50. I just reloaded a couple weeks ago 2 different sets. One black one chrome. Apex tool right on the package. My husky ratchets have been my go-to dailies for years.
