My aluminum spacers came with specific instructions not to exceed 95 ft.lb. when tightening the nuts. Because of that, I always notify the tire shop not to exceed 90 ft.lb. just to be safe. I finish up the final torque settings myself. That's the only issue I've had in the 20+ years I've had...

I've still got mine. Rarely used.

I thought I saw somewhere in this forum, that the engine had to be pulled to replace the rear one. Is that true?

Similar to what I described?

I've been planning on replacing mine also, so I was curious. I plan to park a moderate distance away from my closed garage door and mark my current beam alignments on it with blue tape. After replacing the headlights, I'll compare the new beam locations with the old locations. Just wondering...

Do you have to realign the headlight beams after a swap like this?

I thought that too. Plus I think I saw that the engine had to be pulled to replace the rear tensioners; in this forum, I believe. Is that true?

Which head unit is that? I like it.

I've got an '02 with 150k miles. I've done all of the scheduled maintenance and a trans flush every 30k miles (in the early days of this forum, that was recommended with these transmissions). I think I had the pan dropped, instead of the flush, the last time. I don't believe I've ever had the...

35th Anniversary Edition. I think it was 1999.

I modified a Mustang hood scoop, and had it painted to match. It's attached with 3M double-sided tape.

Nice truck! I have a 2002 Torredor Red Trac also. Quite a few mods, inside and out. 150k miles so far. Had to replace the four body mount bushings under the cab last year. This pic was taken on our move to Oregon in 2015. (Excuse the little crunchie on the fender 😆)

Good suggestion. The tilt column will stretch against the wiring harness and pull some wires loose when tilted too far down. Usually, the turn signals are the victim when that happens. This is a common problem on Gen 1 Tracs.

I have garage envy. :D

Looks terrific. Hard to believe it isn't new. Congratulations!

It'll be more fun for you coming back, I'm sure. Good luck!

It's a secret. 😆

I have the same plug. As far as the oil filter goes, I roll the sides of a Ziploc baggie down and line it with paper towels. Once I've loosened it with a wrench, I grab the filter with the baggie in my hand, and unscrew it. The bag captures the oil without getting any on my arm.

I agree. Chips were popular in the 2000s, but a retune is better.

Wow, that's quite a list. You're going to have a pretty sweet truck when you're done. Care to share some pics?
