    Flying "J"/Pilot RV fuel card.

    Being a full time RV'er I find that most fuel stations right off of the interstate exits are higher than those further off the highway. While towing I generally use Flying-J or Pilot with the RV Frequent Fueler card. I am at about .05 off per gallon at this point, but it convenient they have...

    I feel your pain. My truck blew a hoe adapter just outside Des Moines, IA in October. Got truck and 5er towed to a local RV Park, then Ford paid to tow the truck to the Ford dealer.

    Need an Exhaust Gas Temp Gauge?

    I admit that I do need to add one for monitoring egt while towing. as far as cool down, when I stop I shut down the motor, exit, lock the doors and use my remote start to restart the motor. It runs for 15 minutes then shuts down.

    Engine Seized

    OK. So now I am asking for a definition. What is Hydrolocked? Aside from this thread (first time I've heard of this condition), I recently read an article discussing a hydrolocked cylinder.

    Noise when windy

    First; my truck is a 2008 F-450 King Ranch. When driving on a highway (60-70 mph) on a windy day I occasionally hear a strange humming noise kinda, like someone blowing into a kazoo. It isn't constant, it is occasional and short in duration. It sounds like it is coming from under the dash...

    Truck Guage Question

    A while back I remember a digital gauge that showed EGT Temp, Tranny Temp and I think Water Temp in a single rectangular unit. I don't recall the manufacturer. Does anyone know if that still exists and who manufacturers it?

    Factory Brake Controller
