Re: Oil Type Question
Not a fan of Quaker State. Not sure if they still do but several years ago they used paraffin wax as an additive. It would clog up oil passages and cause sludge buildup throughout.

Re: Ford Dealer or Stealership
Mainly the dealership didn't want to do it in case something would go wrong. They didn't want the liability.

Re: lift kit installation. Is it DYI
I am dead serious. I have seen trucks on the road that you could see the bump steer when they hit a pot hole.

Re: '94 5spd binding linkage ?
If you can hear some noise when you push the clutch down, you have a bad throw out bearing or pilot bearing. Time for a new clutch. I'd say that is why it is hard to get into gear.

You don't realize how easy it is to get bump steer and how dangerous that is.

I wouldn't. Lifts mess with steering geometry and make it unsafe to drive.

Re: Squealing coming from the front of engine bay
Usually a fan clutch just locks up and runs the fan at full speed all the time. Sounds like a big fan blowing air on full blast. I agree with tomboy about the water pump. Could be the bearings in the...

Re: Engine Temperature question
I think your thermostat is sticking closed and then opening late. I'd change it before it stays stuck closed and overheats your engine.

Usually you just replace the whole a-arm. It is a little bit more expensive but saves you a lot of time over trying to press the ball joint out of the arm.

Check all the fuses and relays. It could be the ignition switch is worn out.

JB Weld isn't going to work unless you drain the radiator completely dry.

Re: Scratching noise under load
This is a pretty good guess and makes sense to me.
Pistons don't make a scratching sound, more of a slapping/knocking sound when they go bad and compression would be dropping.
