Fuel filters are $55 from advnaced auto for motorcraft, or $35ish from International dealership.
You need to fix that coolant issue ASAP. I'd still use the Ford stuff too, I wouldn't shy away from it, it's good coolant. The Cat is good stuff too. The $16 a gallon from Ford is not diluted either, so you need a gallon of distilled water to mix with that, so just keep that in mind when shopping prices on coolant, most of it comes 50/50 blended already. Walmart sells Motorcraft oil filters for like $18, and Fram version is $1 cheaper, and it's the EXACT same filter, same PN's and everything. Tranny filters I'd probably still get through Ford. Use Motorcraft filters for this stuff, but you don't have to get them from Ford. Try and find an international dealer for your fuel filters though! |
thanks ranger518 and mdub707 for all the info,:tu:
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- just got back from the dealer each quart of transmission fluid was almost $12.:scare2: ($12x10 quarts=$120.00) and the coolant was $19 a gallon ($19x3gallons= $57.00 $170.00 + tax |
just found ot im getting 7 mpg city
the truck runs great, the only thing is that my tires are 35x12.50R 16.5 LT but i think i should be getting more than 7 mpg city im getting 16.5 mpg highway what do you guys think |
Something doesn't sound right there... My buddys running 37's on stock 3.73 rear ends driving like idiots avg 13.5. 16.5 highway is about right, but 7 city is NOT right...
Also how are you calculating this? If you have the readout above the rearview mirror, it's wrong no matter what it says. it's called the Lie-o-meter for a reason. |
i filled the tank and drove 63 city miles then filled the tank again (9.165 gallons)
63 divided into 9.165= 6.873 the only thing i saw was that the air filter was extremelly dirty. i would say it was never replaced(60,000 miles). i went to walmart and got a fram air filter for $72.00:scare2: and replaced it now im praying that the milage will go up what do you think? ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- im going to start a new thread for the gas milage so i can get everybody to read it to |
