Ever since I first used a Lubelocker I'll never use another type of gasket again if one of those is available for the application I'm working on.
As mentioned it's not unheard of the rear differential being quite a bit underfilled from the factory so you're probably good since you caught it pretty early.

Yeah, I feel bad putting all that old fluid back in, since it was in an old oil can when I initially drained it, but I’ll change it in a few days with fresh fluid so should be ok.

Well, these showed up from Fairway Ford Parts today. Absolutely awesome and the cutout looks way smaller than it does in person.

Only problem is somehow I missed it and ordered the park sensor holes and park aid (the holes on the sides) and my truck doesn’t have park aid. I have the park sensors though. So unfortunately I have to return these and I need Fairway to send me the other version. Still, not in a big rush as the SPD stuff is not ready yet.

I did an oil change yesterday evening, and I paid $46.35 for 6 quarts of Motorcraft 5w30 and a Motorcraft FL-500S filter at Walmart. Would have been double that at O’Reilly’s

Got a question for you guys. Where can I find Rapid Red Metallic paint?

I see some at Touchupdirect and they have the D4 paint code that my truck is. It’s like two spray cans of red paint, and one can of clear coat. Also they have a kit that has primer too, but I think the bumper pieces are already primered since they come black.
 
Some body and paint shops, not the repair ones, can put your color in a rattle can. They just need your door paint code. Then you need a can of clear also. I’d never do it this way on body panels but on small pieces it works fine and in my experiences it matched very well. I‘d do it on those bumpers.
 
Got this installed. I thought I had enough fluid, I had 2.3 quarts, but it wasn’t pouring out of the hole… Ford’s sheet says it calls for 4.6 pints which is 2.3 quarts. Am I screwed now? View attachment 202365
Matt, You appear to be rushed slightly. I only know you from what I have seen on the forum so no offense meant but the rear axle must feel left out. Give it some love.

In the meantime this stuff came. Oem black appearance package emblems (I painted my original ones but one was partially broken and the paint already chipped a little on the front, so I went with oem painted ones.

also some gloss black tailgate letters

Ok so there’s a hood latch notch on the BAP grille if you noticed, and in order for it not to show I’d have to have a BAP/Tremor hood. That is probably going to be in my list of mods.

Right now I’m trying to figure out if a 2021+ raptor hood will fit the F150. Does anyone know? I’m either doing a raptor hood if it will fit, or the Tremor/BAP hood.

You guys can see the hood latch notch I was talking about that shows since I don’t have a tremor/BAP/platinum hood. I like those hoods a lot more and they even have vents on them, so that mod is on the list now.

Kinda like my 13 year old grandson. He's missing a front tooth! KM

I can return that grille up to 30 days. I’m going to leave it on for a day or two and see how I feel about it. I like the look of it, but I’ll be honest, I am not getting a different hood.
