    Help Needed Even Ford figures fire is better than fixing a 6.0

    and that may be true but a dropped ciggy or broken/pinched/chafed wire during reinstall of the intake look a lot like care in possession also. but since almost nothing is recognizable and most wires are completely gone it could go either way. They called today first thing (7:15am) and then...

    Help Needed Even Ford figures fire is better than fixing a 6.0

    Took my truck to a Ford dealer in Tomball Texas for what I thought was another 6.0 diesel blown head gasket. I was pleasantly surprised when they called and said it was just a bad EGR cooler seal. Not cheap but cheaper than a head job. When I showed up to pick it up the service manager sent one...

    Water well pump died!!

    our little one is just over 500, five guys and its a 3 hour job. truck, A-frame, winch and two guys can do it in about an hour. our new well is 2300 feet of fiberglass 2 7/8 pipe. that one takes a pulling unit an about 1 hour. in the winter you can add two to 3 hours for either, in my line of...

    19.5, what should they cost?

    So your saying I should put them on my 350? Just kidding, I know the facts just thought looks and the fact that both trucks would run the same exact wheels/tires would be good. Yeah I couldn’t find adapters with the landings for the 225mm hubs so I offered him 300 so I had spares for the...

    19.5, what should they cost?

    finding that it looks to be a no-go. shame though, calling the junk yards i found dozens for about $70/ea on average. maybe i can have some made and just start selling them. the 10 lug wheels sell in the yards for more than double the 8 lug ones.

    Does DPF fluid freeze

    We have guys working in ND, SD, AK, Canada, Arctic Circle and WY that have all found out DPF does freeze. BUT, we have not had an issue other than needing to buy another jug or two (or 40 in one case, pallet left out at -40+). Where our guys work they generally keep a jug or two extra in their...

    19.5, what should they cost?

    I had a friend call today to see if I wanted his 19.5 wheels, they are steal and off his (I think) 06 450. They are 8 lugs not the 10. Two are new and have never had tires mounted, the other 5 have been used but have no damage. He just bought new tires for the steer tires but the others are...

    Dynamite does come in small packages

    Dynamite does come in small packages or maybe the little diesel that could. I could not pass up posting this. In most my travels I always find diesels as a major part of the automotive culture except here in the states. In the last 10 years Diesels have really proved themselves in the U.S...

    Question Tuning, any regrets.

    Got two friends with tuned 6.4's, one with an H&S tuner and 1 with a Spartan. Both made about the same on the dyno 550/1150 at the wheels with hot tunes. Spartan shows almost no smoke, H&S rolls the coal good. The H&S tuned truck has toasted one trans so far and both trucks have about the same...

    Now that things have settled down to a mild roar...

    wildblue would be the way I’d go. better support as I’ve found and cheaper. BUT and a big but is an air card from your cell service can work very well. We use one from AT&T in truck and in remote Wyoming we still stream netflix and Hulu+ all day as one drives and one works. We lived out an RV...

    Question turbo

    Even VGT turbos in oem use suck down low. The tuners are what makes them act like u think they should if u look at them on paper. Never understood that, every VGT ford puts on acts like a fixed unit that’s sized wrong from the factory.
