Don't be welding stuff like that. What does flex mean?
Our 1996 P-up with 88,000 airport miles on an automatic transmission work truck had a tooth or two missing on the ring gear and a lot of metal was gone from the starter's pinion gear.
A new ring gear and starter at the Chevy dealer ran the county $1540.00
Shortly thereafter we traded her in on a 'best bid' 2013 Ford 150 with small 5.0 V-8 and six speed auto. I hope we did not screw up. The Ford was $3,000 bucks cheaper then the Chevy. Boy does that thing go like a raped ape!
Two things I don't like about the Ford F-150;
1~ Top-O-Box to bottom of box nobody can reach into the box. It's too tall.
2~Should have gotten the F-250. The F-150 tows our trailers like poop. Going to need some helper springs on those back leafs.
I recommended we stay away from the Eco-Boost engines. Too new and too scary. Tiny engine doing a big job might puke?
