    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    I need to be clear about this engine swap. This is all being done at my friend's shop, in Junction City, Oregon. I do not do engine swaps at my home. My neighbor is paying him and I am showing up to help it all along. I am compensated by my neighbor and my friend. I was recently looking to go...

    Got the new Ford crate engine on the engine stand and the old engine out of the 2006 F150, my neighbor's truck. Doing a reman transmission and a Ford crate engine. Started swapping over whatever did not come on the new engine. Ford supplied cam and crank sensor and gaskets/seals and oil filter.

    Rattling front right wheel well

    If you lift at frame, the suspension in unloaded. You can jack under the lower control arm, close to the lower ball joint, and then the suspension is loaded, just like when driving.

    Battery Drain

    @B-train and @Donal are on to something. My interior lights shut down after approximately 15-20 seconds and the radio will play for 10 minutes each time, unless I open the door.
