So just a few things here if I may to hopefully help everyone:

 

1. We recommend getting new clusters from Greg at Pace Performance. He will work his tail off to make sure you get the right cluster at the best price with zero hassle; he's the man.

2. We get a ton of these in with cracked lenses (likely on the trip in). We do our best to note this on the shipping notice from the website. 

3. Many people are not packaging these appropriately for the trip and we will not add more packing (we don't stock packing material) so make sure your cluster is packed for round trip use not "just barely making it there".

 

Packing instructions:

 

- Make sure you have an adequate sized box for around 2-3" in each dimension of extra space for packing material; don't go crazy on box size 2-3" is plenty with bubble wrap I assure you just make sure its packed TIGHT when sealed :)

- USE BUBBLE WRAP ONLY - NO STYROFOAM PEANUTS. DO NOT USE A METRIC TON OF TAPE SO WE HAVE TO CUT IT TO GET THE CLUSTER OUT; THIS WILL KILL THE BUBBLE WRAP LOL

-Air bladders can be used for secondary protection around the bubble wrap but not a primary means of shock absorption; these get punctured by the edges of the cluster and deflate in transit.

 

Basically just dont toss these in random boxes and ship them in, seeing a lot of that lately and the peanuts are also out of control. Almost to the point we are going to have to start charging a cleanup fee if you use them LOL 

 

We are almost through our backlog and on track to reopen tomorrow sorry for any inconvenience this has caused but its been a bit of a shit show lately with people waiting weeks to send their stuff in rather than right after they place their order hahah 

I called pace and they were unable to get me a cluster. Thats why i got mine from spemco

Man that has to be a first. We send basically everyone there and never once have they told us they couldn't get the part; you talked to Greg directly? Hes the guy that makes it happen even with the goofy export clusters we do.

If you order from Pace, makes sure you ask for Greg. Greg will then load the part # on their website and will then make it “available” to order.

I don’t even see a contact number on their eBay page. Just text Greg?

I was looking for the plastic cluster lens.  Greg can’t get that. The eBay page that had it was a different company.

    • If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..
    • Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process. 
    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like 
    • Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
