    2007 Clock Spring Replacement Experience

    2007 V8 Exhaust Manifolds: Tips When Replacing

    Like many others, I had 1 broken stud on Cylinder 4 and 2 broken studs on Cylinder 8. Cylinder 4 stud came out easily with an extractor, studs on Cylinder 8 had to be drilled out to 21/64" and tapped to receive an M8x1.25 HELICOIL. - Bolts instead of studs/nuts are an option, consider...

    Power Steering System Replacement 2007 V8

    After 235,000 miles, the OEM steering rack had play and was leaking. Most references I have seen suggest replacing hoses if more than 5 years old. Incremental cost for all new parts is minor compared to the labor for this. I installed a new reservoir also. This is a tough job that I don't...

    Steering Shaft Gen2

    Just replaced the steering shaft with Dorman 425-384. Old one had some play in it and the boot was destroyed. Easy repair, two bolts. Remove the left front wheel for better access, undo the steering rack bolt first before the upper one near the firewall.

    Backup camera install

    The tailgate latch with camera that I installed ~ 2 years ago recently broke. New one ordered to replace the broken one, Econut Backup Camera . The new one is from the same mold as the broken one, so it will likely break if not reinforced. It breaks in the location shown on the attached...

    Well ...a little over 307,000 miles on my 4.0L SOHC and I've gotten the infamous start-up chain rattle.

    When starting, press the accelerator to the floor and hold it, then crank the engine. After a few seconds, oil pressure will build while cranking without starting, then let your foot off of the accelerator. The engine will start normally with no rattle.

    Gen2 4x8 Panel Support

    I put this together to carry 4x8 sheets in the bed. A pair of 8' 2x4's and some scrap 2x6 held together with PL Premium and screws. It can be easily rotated back into the bed when not in use.

    07 ST Hitch

    I don't know for sure, the shop that did it likely used a torch or a plasma cutter. Their workmanship was excellent, perfect welds. No reason to cut another hole in the rear frame member, mount the connector underneath.

    Grille

    I used one of those grilles and painted it body color. If you take off the upper chrome piece on the hood, you can strip it and paint it black or body color also.

    Rear Bumper Winch Power

    Here's what I did to get a power tap to the rear bumper for a 3,500 lb electric winch on our boat trailer. I am using the truck chassis as a ground, with new 4 AWG ground straps at the battery and rear bumper. Fastronix top post battery terminals are excellent, highly recommended. Power is fed...
