A bad wheel bearing will normally make a roaring noise. A loose wheel bearing most times will not make ANY noise. Don't recall ever dealing with a wheel bearing that was too tight...

Looks really good in the new pics! Small things in the paint are pretty hard to avoid. Bear in mind that an excessive amount isn't acceptable, but a few little things like a speck of dirt in the paint is gonna happen. I wish mine looked that good! :)

You didn't specify what year or what emblem you wanted, but here is a link to eBay that may help. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ford+f-350+emblem

Well that just sucks! At least I have all highway driving, although there is 35 miles of it both ways (plenty of bugs). Washed mine last Saturday... had it looking showroom perfect. Then it rained Saturday night and all day Sunday and part of Monday. At least it had a clean exterior to rain...

@Timbootz: I know what you mean. I do own a torque wrench, just never use it for the wheel bearings. I use a pair of straight jaw channel locks. I know what you mean about the "feel"... that is why I don't use the torque wrench. My dad (lifetime auto mechanic) taught me how to repack the...

X2 on what Dchad53 said

I have never used a torque wrench to preload wheel bearings. Your procedure works fine and is the same as mine, only I don't use the torque wrench. Once they are set, you don't HAVE to go back and recheck them later... only if you want to. You can do it with the wheel on (actually, I prefer...

Posting a link to this thread is actually a really good idea! That way, people can see how you approached it and how the paint shop treated you, not to mention pictures! :)

My current truck is a 3.0L and it is "okay". My other truck was a 2001 EDGE and it had the 4.0L. MUCH better engine both in power and MPG.

I don't think I would keep quiet. I would write a review that tells it like it is. NO shop deserves to stay in business with BS like that.

Oh God... you really bought yourself a migraine there! LOL "Theres no dash so all the wires are hanging around everywhere etc." That would be bad enough if I could see and touch it... but trying to diagnose this is simply impossible (at least for me). I wish you the best of luck! :) BTW...

Yeah, not one of Fords shinier moments of design! LOL

Hataz they hate... Heataz they heat... Sorry... yeah, I'm THAT guy! LOL Seriously, Dchad53 nailed it. Happened to mine, fixed it with the resistor and pigtail. Easy fix.

I have not used this, but it probably works okay. I use a standard ELM327 (USB to OBDII) with my laptop and ForScan software (free). Does everything I need and then some. This is just a bluetooth connection to your laptop or ANDROID smartphone rather than the USB connection mine uses. $30...

Megan, you can find mod information right here as well as these other forums. They are all good sources of information: https://www.ranger-forums.com/ http://www.fordrangerforum.com/ (this one currently is being reported as a deceptive site by Google, but it isn't really a problem... your...

Don't know that the extended cab would make any difference. The seat will still only go back so far from the steering wheel.
