If it was replaced during recall, it will be grey. |

I also have a superchips tuner available for that truck. Will help with power and economy while towing. 70 bucks and it’s yours. It is currently on eBay but I can pull the auction if you are interested.

We'll see how it does pulling a 8,000 lb trailer home over 5 mountain passes first before I say the Chip word. _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S. Thompson |

It's not exactly cheap, about $500, but a boat load of retirement money cheaper than a rblt trans an tow bill. Why Ford put an anemic cooler on a truck built for towing has always been a mystery.... |

Dad took good care of his stuff. We picked up the 5th wheel and truck Sunday out of his barn. Got it "wet" @ sisters house down the road and getting ready to make our way back home.

Yep, I see some miles in that rig's future now that you're in the Age of Retirement.

That's assuming it was a recall. Anyway I'll throw the spare in the glove box with the 10mm wrench as recommended above and call it good. _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.

Sounds like you got it all taken care off. I had a small issue with mine a few days ago when there was fuel accumulating on the cap. No idea why. WIX has a real nice one piece filter and cap I installed last night. Huge upgrade in simplicity and seals next time you have to do a filter change.

Yep, if it's grey, it's the new and presumably improved and done under a Fed recall. Back before Ford/International got their pee pee slapped, those sensors were almost $200. You can get them today for around $30. |
