    Looks like all it takes is a little ingenuity to make it work. Thanks!

    Thanks! The tool is a great idea, not only for the Warn hubs but for the stock ones too!

    Manual Locking Hub replacement?

    A couple of years ago I was thinking about installing Warn hubs on my "01 dually and was told that they won't fit because of the hub extensions. I took a good look at it last week when I had the extensions off to replace the pads and rotors. I may be wrong, but it looks to me like the only...

    Interior Color Change

    OOPS! I should have read it again... I was thinking he painted the interior parts. I know covers are available but if possible I'd prefer not to go that way. Thanks!

    Interior Color Change

    Anyone out there ever do a complete interior color change? My '01 dually crewcab Lariat has a teriffic black exterior with gray interior. While I can "live" with the gray, I would really prefer black. I know it's gonna be a big job to change it, but with the right advice and "encouragement" I'm...

    need paint advise for rims

    Our Michigan winters are really hard on aluminum wheels - lots of corrosion especially where the weights are mounted. I tried everything to restore the wheels on my previous truck - a 99 F350 - and finally decided to have them sandblasted and painted with a satin black epoxy. The results were...

    Thanks Doug! Is see that you - like my wife and I - love camping. Over the past 50+ years we have "evolved" from sleep-on-the-ground backpacking and canoe camping to a large family-size Eurika tent to a popup to a conventional trailer to a fifth wheel to a truck camper and now back to a fifth...

    2001 7.3 no start!

    OK ladies and gents... WE HAVE LIFTOFF! after literally months of work, my "Humunga-Truck" is back on the road! Just in time to deal with our Michigan winter with the mud and road salt. The problem ended up being the PCM. Although the AutoEnginuity scanner picked up a few codes, for some reason...

    2001 7.3 no start!

    Yep...still down. The good thing for me is that I don't need to rely on this truck as my daily driver! That said, I really miss my truck!!! I'm trying to resist having it hauled in just to pay someone to stand around and scratch his - or her - head. I'm really good at doing that myself! Besides...

    I have a 2001 F350 with the factory fog lamps. Can anyone recommend a replacement bulb or a replacement for the lamp assembly with high output lighting?

    2001 7.3 no start!

    AH! Now I understand. I'll check it out. As I mentioned earlier, I did do a serious cleaning of the engine and underbody before I tore into it. And yes, I did wash the engine with a de-greaser but I was careful to protect the electronics. That said, it's difficult to avoid getting some water in...

    Big Joe... I need a little education. What is "PDB" and "IDM"?
