    Upgrading to a larger tire

    I have a 2007 SD that has the 20" tires. They're LT 275/65-20. Anyone know if you can go to a LT 325/60-20 tire on the factory rims. I don't know the rim width. Plus when I go to the larger tire will the Ford Dealer have to recalibrate the speedometer or does the computer recalculate it on...

    High Idle RPM control ~ Upfitter switches

    Purple/light green for the Battery Charge Protect which some people call High Idle. I made 8" jumpers for all of the wires I connected to the upfitter switches. And it was still a real SOB to hook up. I needed 3 hands because my 2 hands couldn't get in the right position to connect the...

    This will make you sick.

    I can only imagine what is required to remove the cab. Steering, cables. hoses, electrics. I had read elsewhere one owner complained that his cab had been removed so many times that his truck does nothing but rattle and squeak anymore. I thought he was only exagerating about the cab. I'd be...

    This will make you sick.

    Mine is a 2007 but after seeing this it makes me sick especially when the warranty is up. These manufacturers gotta come up with better ways to access mechanical problems. They know many of us like doing our own work and this sure would drive me away if I had to pay the expense. 08 F350...

    Wiring new alternator

    Well your first 3 complaints are not a problem in this state so don't try to equate those to your dislike for 11 meter. I hope your not a hypocrite that picks and chooses what laws, ANY law, he wishes to follow. Now when my amplifier becomes as lethal as an AR15 I will gladly remove it from my...

    NJ Area PS Get Together

    389 sixpack tells me you have or had a 65 or 66 GTO. Would this be correct?

    What is a topside creeper? Maybe I need one. I live under the hoods of our vehicles. I've never seen the front of an H2 open. My 84 Vette tilted and it was nice to work on. I think if the hood opened and it took the fenders and the fender liners it would give a lot of room. I have...

    Wiring new alternator

    I remember you Grease Monkey. Bozo booted me off because I questioned the voting outcome of the new Moderators. Those with the highest votes were not the new Moderators. I asked him if the "chads" got hung up or if Jeb Bush counted the votes and I was gone!! Butch

    Thanks Kleetus. And by the way last year I bought my ARRL books to study for the General and Tech licenses and all the local Hams told me to go 11 meter and they were changing over!! 11 meter is huge in NJ.

    The Hams in the area are the ones that got me into 11 meter. They said 11 meter has a better group of people and less attitudes.

    I don't know why it would be that costly other than replacing the front end if involved in an accident. And then the front end could be built in three different pieces that connect together. The cost to me would be in the mounting and hinging portion. You'd be looking at a hinge and a couple...

    Wiring new alternator

    Kleetus what causes the lights to dim? Is it the lack of batteries or the lack of the alternator trying to keep up. Would extra batteries help it? Thanks

    Wiring new alternator

    I have a CB radio with a 1500 watt amplifier. The amplifier can draw 100+ amps when using the radio. With nothing running other than the engine and headlights the radio/amp make the headlights dim when you key the mic.. This can result in damage to the stock alternator and I guess burn out...

    Wiring new alternator

    I just installed a new 200 amp alternator on my PSD 6.0. Should I upgrade the cables from the alternator to the battery? Must it go through a voltage regulator or can I run a cable directly from the alternator to the Positive on both batteries? What about fusing the cables? Thanks
