    Best Ford Dealer for 05 06 Parts

    Thanks Pete. The parts manager at Galpin Ford Don Worrell is a good guy but like a lot of dealer guys very much under pressure and not a lot available. I'll keep poking around. Fortunately I'm down to maintenance after a good size project - Dan

    Check those Rear Axle Nuts

    Built a lot of collisions as a tech over the years and prefer OE bulletins. Alldata's pretty good though. Couldn't believe how loose the LR nut was. Going to get new in any event and re-check. Thx.

    Best Ford Dealer for 05 06 Parts

    Thanks. My guy at Galpin Ford just retired. I'm looking for a dedicated advisor. I do own the vehicle and bought a lot from Galpin already. May try them again.

    Check those Rear Axle Nuts

    Hi - new to the car and the community. Just finishing a build on my own car. Checked the rear half shafts to hubs and the RR was a couple of degrees back from 258 Ft Lb / 350 Nm. The LR was OMG practically loose. Is there an updated higher torque? Only just aligned the car after...

    '06 Door Window Frame Nutserts

    I opened the rectangular wholes just enough to receive Mercedes drip rail plastic nutserts for the 4 OE Ford nutserts that I didn't have. The fitment of the door window frame molding is quite tight. I used 3M strip caulk to fix the position of the OE Ford nutserts as they float depending on...

    '06 Door Window Frame Nutserts

    I carefully cut around all of the old fastener mount landings and removed them from the old door. Careful squeezing from the back side liberated most of them. Some of them just broke though. Very fragile fasteners. Totally agree on the no part number found thing. Thanks for the input!

    '06 Door Window Frame Nutserts

    Hi, I have an account with Ford's OE Repair Link site. Spent long hours on my journey there and on the internet. No go. I've matched up similar with Mercedes drip rails on an older model. May have to modify the holes slightly to accept them. Thanks for the input.

    '06 Door Window Frame Nutserts

    Hi, I'm finishing up a re-assy after accident damage repairs I'm doing on my own '06 to keep. Anyone know where I can get the sheet metal screw inserts? They go in the upper window frame to the door shell to secure the window frame trim. Very odd hole opening 3X16 mm. Rectangle. Not in the...
