RacingHCR - I do my own fuel filter & fuel/water separator changes right in the drive way. It might take 20 minutes total, Ford has really done us justice in how this system is serviced. Watch the video here http://youtu.be/yQqUogqzoEc, just make sure to release the fuel filter canister the 3...
I almost wish I hadn't jumped in on this discussion, cause wouldn't you know that I had to put new sneakers on the Big White Beast today. The low tire indicator came on and when I found the nail it was in the sidewall of the passenger rear. Mrs. Gunner isn't one for having things mismatched so...
JRJ. how'd you do on your purchase? I drove my $60,760 truck off the lot for $41,700. The dealer knocked $13,000 off the sticker price because of a rival dealer having a crazy sale and then gave me $9,800 more for my truck than what I owed on it.
I know this is an old thread that hasn't been replied to in a while. There are 3 separate issues that can aid in the buzzing sound around the doors:
1st - The body seal at the edge of the door has a secondary seal that lays on top of it. People have sealed the 2 together to aid in limiting or...
My only mods to date have been to fill the fuel tank, drain, repeat.....over and over again. Well, I do have to do oil changes, def-fills and fuel filter & oil-water separator changes as well.

I think I need to start saving so I can buy a Ravelco myself. Looks like a great anti-theft device, couple that with the Jimmie Jammers and your truck should be pretty well protected.
Thanks Dave, that picture is "Old Truck - New Truck". My dealer thought it was cool and she asked me to shoot it to her so she could show her clients.

You can count me in as well. I love the forums and hope that this one takes off like a shot. I've been here before and hope that this resurrection brings in new ideas, projects and builds. Sharing of information (aka bragging) is always fun too.

The signature pic is my "Old Truck - New Truck" picture of my 2007 F-150 King Ranch 4x4 and my new 2011 F-250 King Ranch 4x4 with the legendary 6.7L diesel. The other pictures are of the "Big White Beast" with my darling bride of 31 years in the bed and then with the Westin Ultimate Bull Bar...
I've had mine come on twice and took it to my dealer both times. The first time the service tech did the test strip and reset the light. This last time, the service tech checked the coolant reservoir and said to top it off and reset the light which I did.
