The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Exactly this. Yes, I start by hand and even lube it up. I usually do my maintance in a gravel driveway so I hate laying on the ground.

 

It's not that bad...just tighten by hand then might need filter wrench to break it loose but no biggy. Just loosen until you can do it by hand, have the pan underneath and loosen a bit until oil drains from it and let it finish then unscrew it off and dump rest of oil in pan from filter. Put old filter in new filter box. Done with messy part. Drain the pan, replace drain plug, fill it up and go. Simple. I fill the new filter with oil to minimize time to get new oil flowing thru motor on first startup. I also remove the skid pan under the motor (not the front one) for access and gives oil room to drain in pan from filter change.

 

Lemme look on their site or see if I can find the box. I measured filter area inside the Volant box and used the inlet size of the K&N tube to choose an appropriate universal sized cone.


I haven't measured but think it was

$75 21-30018 Universal Clamp On Filter

21-30018 which is 3" flange, 6" base, 4.75" top, 7" height

 

Thanks!

I'm looking into swapping out my K&N cone with a dry one.

 

Look into volant/donaldson. Best filter I have found through research. A bit more money but I have zero doubts in it.

 

Moment of silence...


On the other hand, this ford has been a life saver for a back up vehicle lol

 

Didn't a bunch of people tell you that a Detroit locker would eventually blow up in your face ?

 

No sir. I actually was told only good things about them lol

My little regular cab is finally ready to hit the dirt again.

 

I'm enjoying my 2.7L single cab. Picture taken at Balmorhea state park-West Texas.


Padre island wth my son digging a hole for the sole purpose getting me to finish digging it for him.

 

That's right! I like to take him to the beach so he don't dig up the yard so much.

 

I can diggit...........

 

Shop called. Taco is fixed. Locker did grenade lol back to open diff life and left with a $600 bill

 

Uhoh. One wheel peeling like a boss

 

She does pretty well for being stock.

I'm trying to get about 2-3 inches. Ive seen that the OME 883's are the way to go for the RC's Do you need to get 5100's to go along with it or can you run the stock shocks with them?

 

I'd say 884's or even 885's. If you've got the cash, just grab some 5100's to pair with them. I have the 885's, but the ride is really stiff.

 

I have 884's and after settling I have 2 5/8" of lift. They ride really good though.

 

Looks sweet... how's it workin' for ya'?
