    For all the fans of my ancient death-inspiring leaf springs on the truck; who's the go-to for replacement leafs for these things? The previous owner said the truck has a 6 inch lift.

      General spring is whar I go through for all my leaf spring needs. You, having a significant lift, may have to go through Rancho or Rough country. Check general spring first. Replace ALL u bolts, shackle bolts, and leaf spring bolts. Do not try to save them. Up north, they are single use.

      @@jamesbasye2362 typically with cars I've owned the parts have equal miles on them. So for example if my left wheel bearing with 150,000 miles on it starts to become noisy I personally wouldn't just replace that bearing and keep the old right side bearing. Some people will try to squeeze all the blood out of a penny that they can. Time is money so I choose to be preventative when possible. With your mindset would you replace 1 of say 8 ignition coils or 1 spark plug if it started to misfire? If they all had the same age and mileage I'd replace all of them. Too each their own.

    Instead of putting your camera under your truck there is a a tool that would pinpoint the noise. A multichannel clip on sound pickup tool can let you hear exactly where the grinding is coming from. These are usually 6 to 8 pickups per kit and plug into a receiver that has an headset and a dial to pick which pickup is being listened to. I have used these tools to make a dealer take responsibility for a bad bearing on a new car. You can rotate the dial and listen to which ever part of the car you have pickups attached.

    I had this same issue and was worried about the shaft being damaged too. If you have issues after this because of the wear on the shaft, you do have options. Ford will tell you that you can't buy just the new axle shaft for one side, but you can find it online.

  • @scottycrippin2126
    @scottycrippin2126 25 дней назад +1

    It would seem like common sense to me that whenever your truck develops a humming/grinding noise in the front end that you not drive it a mile more than you have to before you can pull it apart and fix. Driving it around like that is what wrecked that stub shaft.

    There's a hack where you can put additional grease in these "sealed" hubs. They are minimally loaded with grease from the factory. I did this on my F250, but I live in a snow and salt-free climate, so hub work is easy here.

    lol dude this is elementary ford/ dodge/ older Chevy solid front axle stuff!
    You can save yourself a lot of trouble and hassle by using some PB blaster and anti seize! On everything! Your live in a corrosive salty environment. As a mechanic, when you see a truck with that much rust on the frame and chassis, you Charge double! Rust bucket city. And it sucks, they out to outlaw and ban road salt in the way north east. It ruins everything. There’s a product call fluid film! Use it! It will prevent undercarriage rust! It won’t 200% prevent it, but it helps, the stuff really does work, it’s in a spray can, spray it on once or twice a year and it protects your frame, under carriage, body, wheel wells, steering and springs, hose it dow n all under neigh! Also you know what helps? Washing your under carriage once in awhile! I’m in Colorado, Colorado don’t use road salt, it’s to expensive to get it here. Things don’t rot away here like they do east of Kansas lol. But I still give the under carriage of my ‘02 24v cummins HO 6 speed truck. Like get the rain coat out and climb underneath with a rain coat on! I like to buy a case of .99 cent gloss black per can spray paint and thoughtly hose all parts of the frame and suspension, axles, all the nooks and crannies! Not the body! Just the frame, axle and suspension parts! My trucks 20+ yrs old and the frame is still shiny gloss black! Clean enough to eat off of! Washing that salt spray off is the biggest part! I’ve seen people out east that have full on wash racks they drive their 2 ton truck up onto at a 45* angle up in the air so they can easily wash the entire underside of it with a hot air boiler! Your truck dosent have to be a rust bucket! I would loose my marbles if I saw even the tiniest rust bubble that formed on my ‘02 dodge Cummins truck! In Colorado here we don’t do rust! It’s not a thing here! lol. Heck it hardly even snows anymore here on the western slope except at higher altitudes.
    I would never ever buy a truck that spent any considerable amount of time up in the north east or east of Kansas. And if I did it better be really really cheap!
    Grease grease grease! Anti seize every bolt, nut and 2 pieces of steel that contact each other! By anti seizing everything your least making it easier for the next guy down the road that takes it apart!
