    Block Heater???

    Hammer, here in Calgary most of us are not plugging in until -15 or so. That is if it is a newer truck.

    Question Bullly Dog Power Pup Try Out?

    I have been running a Bullydog for the better part of a year now, mostly in the tow tune. I pull a 38' fifth wheel in and around the Canadian Rockies that weighs around 13k pounds when loaded. At first I didnt' have guages and yes, I know I was dancing with the devil, but recently I put on and...

    Cat vs No Cat

    I'm just about to put an exhaust on my truck and I was told by a Ford diesel tech that I will see some performance w/o the cat but may have more smoke than with. it I don't mind a little smoke when I punch the pedal, but I'm not looking for a smoker. Just wondering what other folks have...

    Upfitter switches..again

    Sorry folks, but I have been looking for an answer to this this question for several hours but haven't really found the answer that I was hoping to find. I have a 2006 F-350 with the upfitter switches. I have found the blunt cut wires under the fuse box and the relays behind the glove box. I...

    oil change intervals

    Fly boy, I agree with you totally. Being a former auto technician of high end cars also with expensive engines, I still see no need to do early oil changes just because or people thinks it is cheap insurance. However, as tech, sure come on down, I'll take your money. Bottom line, unless you...

    06 6.0 runs cooler than my 03

    It appears I had the same issue you are explaining not too long ago. I went to the dealer and asked to drive an identical truck and that truck also took forever to warm up. What I found worked for me is putting a screen front on it. Not a full winter front but the one with the slots in it...

    Remote Start

    Well thats not good. I however had not had any problems with the Ford one, and the range is outstanding. Two way remote may be nice to let you know it's running, but I can start my truck from within my locker room at work and without fail it's running when I get outside. I'm happy with mine...

    Remote Start

    I went with the Ford remote start. It was the about the same price as the aftermarket ones, and uses a Ford fob. The deal breaker for me was that I get the same 3 year, 60,000 km warranty where as the aftermarket ones only gave you one year.

    Block Heater ?

    I located mine behind the front bumper just to the outside of the right fog lamp. It was bundled with the wires for the fog lamps.

    6.0 Litre aftermarket chip???

    Here in Canada and I would imagine the states would be similar, authorities need to get a warrant to download that information. In order to get a warrant, they have to be investigating a criminal offense, so unless you were involved in a serious or fatal collision or some other serious driving...

    Engine warm up time

    Hahaha your right, I am originally from California and moved here with my wife after leaving the military. It took me a good 2-3 years to get used to the cool falls and cold winters. I guess I just got used to the cold.

    Engine warm up time

    Plugging it in no doubt helps with starting and faster warm up and no offense ment to the folks in the south, but here 40 is not really that cold nor is the freezing mark. I was a little off on my temps last night coming home, they were about 50-55 F. The truck starts fine at these tempatures...

    Engine warm up time

    In hindsight, I do realize I would probably need a winter front, but in the big scheme of things it really has not been that cold. It has only been around the 32 degrees in the early morning. Coming home tonight it was about 40-45.
