Is there a way to adjust the feeler? I did not see anything in the I.T manual about that. Or is this normai for the piston to come out that far? This is the 3rd time I have had the lift cover of to repair my lift so I just wanted to make sure the piston was ok before I put the cover back on. Thanks Dave.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Follow the adjustment procedures and you should be good to go. soundguy   [Reply]   [Send Email]

I did adjust the linkage the way the manual describes without having the ford tools. The manual says to have the hole in the lift arm 1/2 inch above the gasket surface,I assume they mean the center of the pin hole, I hope. Dave.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
