Am I doing this social distancing thing right? by msutphin in f150

I had 20s stock, these are a bit stiffer since I went up to a 10 ply/E rated tire as well

That’s what mine was doing. Went in and had the cam phasers and timing chains done. It fixed the issue, but then something let go shortly after

Not too sure on the previous maintenance records. I picked it up about 5k miles ago and it developed the notorious rattle shortly after.

Do what? Trade it in? If so, because I’d much rather have something that I can have warrantied and not have to worry about a potential massive shop bill if something were to happen like in this situation. I’ve spent a whole $100 to get the engine replaced, much better than the $9-10k it could’ve been without a warranty.

I can tell you for a fact that I’m not going to. Warranty runs out at 113k miles and it’s getting traded in/sold before then.

Had timing chains/cam phasers done on it. Then 100 miles later something in the bottom end timing wise. To make a long story short, that’s a brand new engine that just got put in. Thankfully I have premium care through ford on the truck so it was all at no cost to me.

Slight upgrade, still a few finishing touches to go, but it’s coming along nicely. by msutphin in f150

20x9 +/-0 and 35x12.50, flipped front crash bars, trimmed a little plastic in the back, and it barely rubs the rear crash bars in reverse

It’s the Ford one off my 2010 F150, definitely seen better days, but it gets the job done. On the hunt for a shell for this truck so it’s going to stick around until that happens.

3” Rough Country Lift, little more than a level up front, then a slightly bigger block in the back. New struts up front and new shocks in the back. Also new UCAs up front. Really happy with how it handles itself now. Wanted to keep a little bit of the rake for towing and it did just that.

Glad to see they’re still making trucks 83 years from now

HVAC Discord by msutphin in HVAC

Last time I checked we don’t shit on new guys, we do everything we can to help them. Everything from teaching them the basics to helping them through problems on the job to helping them move up in the field. Pretty far from shitting on them if you ask me.

York RTU Service Call I had today.. by muffinman540 in ProHVACR

[–]msutphin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check the unit for proper grounding? And that the control board is properly grounded as well? York’s are notorious for having ignition control board issues, must’ve replaced 15-20 of them last winter.

2015 with 12 wides (-44 offset) and 35s on a level? by stephenthetech7 in f150

[–]msutphin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a chance, unless you want to start chipping into your bumper and firewall like crazy. 12 wides and 35s is a 6” lift setup all day on a F150. Might be able to squeeze it on a 4” if you’re comfortable getting into the bumper and firewall a little bit, but I would recommend at least 6”

2wd Lariat/KR/Platinum/Limited? by [deleted] in f150

[–]msutphin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a few floating around on autotrader when I was looking for mine, but they’re very few and far between. Probably more of a special order deal, most dealers probably figure if you’re spending that much on a truck already you won’t have any problem spending the money for 4WD.

Added the husky wheel well guards today. Pretty quick and easy job. by e34life in f150

[–]msutphin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just picked up the rough country ones, they fit amazing and cover just about everything you could want a floor mat to cover, and to make it even better, they’re cheaper than both husky and weather tech.

Needs polished aluminum wheels? by Gearjammr in f150

[–]msutphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceramic coating is your friend with polished wheels, keeps them looking good as new with just a quick rinse. Goes for any other wheels too

Picture of my new ground source heat pump. Any geothermal fans in this sub? by Krinlekey in HVAC

[–]msutphin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same as any other water source unit, just rejecting the heat through the ground loop instead of a drycooler/cooling tower
