    sloppy gear selector

    I would be interested in that info too. I have an Excursion with the same problem so the autostart doesn't always work.

    Hatch struts

    Thanks for the replies. We now have to replace the struts AND the back window...don't ask. It's a little too cold here in Alaska to go without the back window.

    SES code

    My wife's truck has had the SES light come on twice over the last couple weeks. Each time it was the same code P1248 (failure to detect boost pressure). The truck does not run any different nor does it "act up" in any way. I have it cleared and the last time it came back in a bout a week. It has...

    Replacment grille

    We are slowly but surely getting used to beautiful Alaska. The kids think that it's great because there's enough sunlight for them to play oustside at midnight. I can't wait to go fishing. I do have something I need help with. When they shipped my wife's Excursion up here they cracked the grille...

    Need Help!

    Need Help!

    We are about to cross over the border into Canada pulling our 5er and my truck has developed a rough spot. At first I thought I just got a hold of some bad diesel, but now I'm not sure. It does fine under a load and anything over 2,000 rpm. When I'm just accelerating normally it hits about 1200...

    Tire size

    I have a 2000 F-350 dually with 235/85/16's on it now. I would like to go with a wider, not outrageous, tire like a 265/75/16. They come out to the same height, but wider. My major concern is the duals. Will 265's have enough room without rubbing sidewalls?:confused:
