i know eh... We have a trailer i am doing the hubs on this weekend, and then the lights as well. What is your guy's reasoning? Balance? I'll probably put the sport bike on the trailer and dual sport in the bed. I have done two dual sports in back, at a total of about 800lbs with the helper...

Hey Guys, Any opinions on running on the highway for 400 miles with a 350 dual sport on a hitch carrier and a sport bike in the bed of the truck? I actually have helper springs that bring my level payload to about 800lb i think.

So, it has been almost a year and the problem has seems have "fixed itself". I think it is temperature or moisture related. I will keep an eye on the master and change as necessary, as it was leaking before. I still have a new Luk slave and Luk clutch kit sitting on the shelf. I am happy i...

As an update... the temperature has plumeted to sub zero highs and will stay like that for the rest of the winter. Shifting has got substantially better... perhaps temperature related. However, right when it got cold i realize by driver's side hub/bearing was totally shot (perhaps has been bad...

Just to confirm what some have said here: The new rangers can be adjusted via the Tbar Key/bolt. I got about 1.5-2" by maxing mine out. The reason I asked initially is because the articles about the pre-key modification makes it look like it can't be done at all on newer rangers. 2" is enough...

Yeah... i ordered some camber bolts, so perhaps i will tweak my Tbars and go in for an alignment.

4x4 with Tbars So, changed my upper control arms yesterday, and it didn't look much like the parts diagram at all... https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/suspension/chassis-parts/arm-assy-front-suspension-7816245-1 My bolts looked like normal bolts, there was no cam washer or cam bolt, and the...

Yeah i read them and it doesn't seem to explain why. Both keys are "adjusters" so one would presume they can both be adjusted.

just curious? why is it not just a matter of adjusting the bolt like it is in the earlier ones? Is the bolt already at it's max setting?

so should not affect shifting?

Did the test. the driveshaft spins freely when the pedal is pressed in about 3/4s of the way. So, back to pilot bearing i guess. Could it be throwout?

No, the opposite. Depressing mean "to press in". So when i press the clutch pedal, the clutch disc disengages allowing the wheels/driveshaft to spin freely.

Yes, i tried those particular gears because in first, if the clutch was dragging it would roll forward. In reverse, with the clutch dragging, it would roll backward. So those gears/direction help prove it is fully disengaging?

While running, it rolls forward while in reverse and clutch depressed and roles backward in 1st while clutch depressed. Momentum feels the same as when in neutral. I did an eyeball test with the clutch off it seems to move at least the distance of the collar. I am told the spec is 5/16th...

Would the throwout not be on duty while the clutch is engaged? I thought the throwout was at the end of slave and therefore get pushed up against the fingers when the pedal is depressed? Either way will have a listen

Yeah I bled it as per the procedure. It seemed to be bled when I put it on. Was real hard with almost no travel in the screwdriver/rod. I have not taken an actual measurement of travel at the slave, yet. Then again, it is engaging and disengaging fine.. i.e. my transmission seems to be 100%...

Update: Put in a new master cylinder today. Bled it as per Perfection Clutch procedure. The old one was definitely leaking as a little fluid came out of it even when i took it out of the firewall. The hard part was gravity bleeding the system after it was all put back together. Hardly any...

hey josh... Well, where i think i am at is I have either/both air in my line or a bad master. There definitely seems to be fluid on my master which at minimum is a sign air got in the line. So, i ordered a new master, it will be here in a week, I will put it in, bleed the line properly and...

Something tells me this should look more dry.... I don't think i'll bleed it until i get a new one. Of course where i live in Canada that takes a week. fingers crossed...

I was planning on bleeding the whole system tonight... If i do a "gravity bleed", will this bleed the slave? From my knowledge, it doesn't bleed the high pressure line between the master and slave nor does it bleed the master itself.
