Hard to believe you can't use a pair of calipers and measure the line yourself.Before going off on other people,maybe get off your ass and measure the lines yourself,they're easy to get at up by the rad. The internet is great,now go measure your tranny lines.

Who exactly did I "go off on"?... I dont own a pair of calipers and I work a desk job. I did "get off my ass" and measure with a tape, but I wasnt sure if I needed O.D. or I.D. This forum has literally hundreds of people that frequent it daily. Some of those people know every inch of these trucks. All I was looking for was a simple, "yeah, you need the 3/8'' filter."

The internet is great. Ive been researching for two days now on which in-line filter I should order, what pan I want, what fluid I want and where exactly I should place said filter. Im getting ready for a pan drop and fluid change, and would like to install this while im under there.

God forbid an ignorant person ask a question on an internet forum! Dont worry man, ill be much more hesitant to ask for advice or help again, so as not to **** you off, or anyone else around here who doesnt like simple questions.

Go buy a set of calipers,they aren't expensive,if you don't own the tools to do something as simple as measure the OD of a line,and don't have the moxy to go buy them,you probably shouldn't work on your own truck.As Grisstang pointed out you can use an open end wrench too. LOL I don't get pissed off,i laugh at guys like you,who won't buy the tools required,then use the excuse "I have a desk job" who cares what you do for a living,i know a few lawyers who have desk jobs,and have one hell'va collection of tools,lol.

Just judging by your post count and join date it seems you have alot of free time on your hands. I would assume (ass-of-me) that you are retired or dont work. That means you get to do whatever the hell you want all day. I dont have that luxury... And you shouldnt assume (ass-of-you) that I dont own tools or work on things. You dont know me. Why would I go buy a set of calipers when I can ask an extremely simple question on a forum dedicated to the subject? Would you treat someone looking for a book in a library the same way? Are you this helpful with all the questions that get presented to you?

Here's ya something to laugh at:

That new Ford F150
HIGH TECH SEATS IN A NEW FORD TRUCK...


I stopped by the Ford Dealership yesterday for a look at the new 2019 F-150.
Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive.
I wanted to sense that new truck "feel" before I get too old.
The salesperson (a nice looking lady wearing a 'RESIST' lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat next to me, describing the truck
and all its "wonderful" options.


The seats were of particular interest.
She explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat.


Feeling like messing with her, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.


Looking a bit angry, she asked why I thought it was a Republican truck.
I explained that if it were a Democrat truck, "the seats would just blow smoke up your ass year-round"!

I had to walk back to the dealership, but it was worth it.

Heres another nice story about the Republican Party... :cheers:


" I was talking to a friend's little girl, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were to be the President, what is the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow - what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my sidewalks and driveway, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food or a new house.'

She thought that over for a few seconds, 'cause she's only 6 years old. And while her Mom glared at me, the little girl looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party, sweetheart."

This one is a bit long winded, but well worth the read...


Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.

The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.

And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.

The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.

Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.

So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.

Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.

And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.

I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.

I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.

He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.

His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.

He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.

The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;

The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,
AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”

Entertaining does not always equal helpful or informative... The Kartrashians are also considered "entertainment".

The truth seems to have got your ass all wound up ,lol. Like I said if you can't buy the tools required for something as simple as measuring a steel line,you probably shouldn't be working on your truck.You sound like the guy who has a cresent wrench as his only tool,other then maybe himself,lol.Have a good day sir,and go get yourself a cheap set of calipers,you'll be amazed at what you can measure with them and how useful they'll be.
