    Start/No Start then Start/No Start. Not Fuel Filters...

    Sounds to me like your fuel pump, or something fuel related (fuel pickup, lines, blocked filters, etc.). Any of my experiences with my 6L filling the fuel bowl only took seconds, and ended with fuel everywhere, like you described. Normally I’d say check your fuel pressure but obviously the...

    Gearing options

    My Dually has 4:10’s. 6.0L diesel, automatic, on 35’s. I run right around 2100 rpm at 70mph, in OD. If you ask me 4:56’s are a little too much gear for 38’s. Backing her down to 4:10’s would be choice, should put you back in the 19-2000rpm range.

    2005 6.0 FICM(new Power Board)

    I had a very similar problem with my ‘05. Mine had no prior issues or warnings, until one day it stalled, and would not start. After multiple tests I found that the FICM module (not the power supply) had a partially burnt circuit board. The damage was hardly noticeable until I completely...

    death wobble

    I have a 2005 F350 DRW, lifted, on 35x12.5R17’s. Already equipped with a dual steering stabilizer kit. I had an issue with “death wobble”, replaced center link (tie rod ends), and drag link ends. Problem cured. Track bar bushings were still A-ok @250k km/ 150k m.

    Are the Optima's worth it?

    I'm firm believer in the motorcraft batteries also. I've seen them go 8+ years without any problems.

    Help Needed 92 F250 diesel hasn't been started in years...

    From experience the best bet is to buy one of the complete kits with the plastic return fittings/ covers, o-rings, lines, and some include little strap ties/ clamps too. The mechanical 7.3's are a diehard motor, man I wish I still had one!

    Looking for a bigger/brighter cargo light

    I also have several of the recon LED lights and LED replacement bulbs on my 05. They are much brighter than the OE units but if you really want to light up your bed there LED bedrail/ cargo lights are extremely bright. I have two sets of them mounted in my enclosed snowmobile trailer.

    Matching Parts

    The mirrors will work for sure along with all the stuff from the front doors. I'm pretty sure the rear doors (ex vs crew cab) are identical also.

    Question Trans fluid leak only when towing

    My bets are on the cooler lines, dipstick tube or front seal

    I need to regear my truck

    I had the same problem with my 2002 even running empty. It was a completely different truck after I installed the 4:56's. I would go with a set of 4:10's in your truck. They are probably cheaper too! Cheers, Patrick.
