    fuel filter removal question

    Added bonus: same socket as the oil filter cap. So one specialty socket does both. You may be able to get more turn-per-pull on the rail fuel filter by using a Crescent wrench, and flipping the wrench each time to get more distance.

    Help Needed 2012 cloth seats still as bad as they used to be?

    I'm converting to all leather in two weeks. All seats and center console. Got a decent deal for $850, but if my wife wasn't having hers done, and I weren't military, it would have been upwards of $1400. Maybe look for a local interior guy, Katskinz or whatever other brand you like, and...

    Who has the highest miles?

    My '05 just passed 133K.

    STC Fittings

    I never knew about that part, it's function, or possible issues, but when I had the same procedure as you, my mechanic insisted on replacement for preventive maintenance and longevity.

    Fuel prices

    KCMO dropped to $3.30 range two weeks ago. Over a 50 cent drop, and falling.

    straite pipe

    Mine is straight through, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Ready to do mine. What pads did you go with?

    Question Egr delete hose

    You can't just fix it with generic tubing from an auto parts store. The one end has locking tabs to keep it from blowing off. You'll need to buy the OEM part. About $40 from the places that sell delete kits, and $48 from Ford after tax in my area.

    Found this on another Forum

    The underlying problem here is that his co-worker is a dumbass, and is ignorant of his constitutional rights. The sheeple just really don't seem to care anymore about privacy and constitutional rights.

    boost fooler....again

    Unregulated boost pressure seems like a very bad idea on an unmodified 6.0. If all the upgrades have been made, maybe, but I'll wait for others to test it first.

    Question No Start Condition 05 F-250

    The only time I had something similar with my '05 PSD, was when the engine would not hot-start. Had to let it cool down for quite a while (hour or more) before it would start again. But when it did, it ran fine, so not exactly the same issue. My problem was a bad HPOP.

    New EGR Cooler Install

    Due to time constraints, I did not. Had to be able to drive it to work again Monday, and that mess alone took me too long. I know it's also bad, and I knew I'd be running on more borrowed time. Next weekend is all set for oil cooler, head gaskets, studs, head work and backflushing everything...

    rant Oh g*d d**m it

    When mine rusted out, my mechanic found this out and got peeved. Called someone he knew in the service center and was somehow able to get just the backing plates. So I suppose if you have a trusted mechanic who is in good with someone, they can be had.

    Alternator replacement (6.0 Diesel)

    One thing I found out after replacing my EGR cooler is that the belt tensioner was inaccessible for a ratchet - the radiator is damn near flush against it. Just have to muscle the belt up. Not hard if your rage level is high enough from the project...and be careful where you post your feet or...
