Will the oil come out when changing the oil pressure switch? Does the oil need to be drained first? thanks

ok thanks.

should the timing chain be replaced at the same time?

thanks Moose

Hi all. Last February I was getting a p1345 code. I replaced the cpas with a GM-part #12615873. Now the code is back. I am looking for some guidance on how to proceed. This is my wife's daily driver. 166k. I am usually on top of the maintenance, but I did go 5k in between oil changes recently...

I got one side done. The only question I have is about the axle. When putting it back in it didn't seem like it was in as deep as when I took it out. Will tightening the nut pull it back in tighter?

ok thanks. I am planning on doing it tomorrow.

this will be my first attempt at changing a ball joint. is this video good to use as a guide?

thanks for all the input.

one is a moog--$94, the other is a masterpro, $22--both say lower...not sure other than the moog is better. Autozone has 2 also, $19 (valucraft) and $46(duralast).

ok thanks. I looked on Oreilly's, they have 2--one is $22 the other is $90--big difference in price. Anyone know why?

the part that is right over the tire. It is loose.Is that an upper ball joint?

I can tell you don't buy a Ford with the 6.0......and not sure about the Chevy's but it seems the repairs for the Ford 6.0 is expensive compared to a gasoline vehicle. I've been driving an '06 F550 since it was new. It is a work vehicle, but I am the only driver and I take care of it like it's...
