    Question How would you rate Performance & Reliability of 6.0 Powerstoke to Cummins, Duramax

    I have an 06. Like you, use for daily transportation and towing a light trailer. Trailer is about 9500lbs. I keep up on basic maintenance at the dealers. Have only 26K miles on it. Thus far truck has treated me well in return. Fuel consumption isn't too bad when you consider the beast...

    Heat & AC Controls stop working

    Thanks. I believe you are right about happening primarily in summer months. Has not happened for a good while now. Next time it happens I'll have to bring it in and see if any codes have registered.

    Heat & AC Controls stop working

    Does not happen often, maybe 3-4x in the trucks 26k miles. Display goes out on the ac/heating/fan controls. No amount of mashing buttons can make it come back to life. Does not work until after turning vechicle off to power cycle. Have not taken to dealer, as I figure they won't do anything...

    Question Does anyone use Z-Max?

    I wouldn't use it. Car maintenance bibles: Oil Additives Seems like SnakeOil sums it up well.

    Dash Mat Recommendations

    Thanks for the reply. The Dashmat ones look good, just wish there were good pics to to get a better idea of how they look. I see you are from Richardson. I get to travel down there every once in awhile to attend Nortel meeting or conferences. I usually have a good time there. I love the Texas...

    Dash Mat Recommendations

    Hey there, Looking to get a dash mat, want something that fits like it belongs, doesn't look cheap and cheesy and stays in place. Anyone have any recommendations or comments on brands to consider or to stay away from? Thanks.

    I'm offically a Power Stroker now!

    Thanks again guys. I see gauges seem to be one of the main must haves? They factory boost, temp & oil pressure gauges are that far off? Also, will new chips and exhausts void warranties? 2005Diesel - Recall you are pretty close by to me in the Concord area. Is there a shop around here you...

    I'm offically a Power Stroker now!

    Ford Power Stroker that is. Thanks to you fellas that answered previous posts of mine. They helped with my decision. I just pickup up an 06 Lariat 250 4x2. Can't wait to try towing with it. Ford has some pretty good incentives right now so I think I got a pretty good deal. Got about $1350...

    Tow Command / Controller Question

    I've been using a Prodigy brake controller on my current vehicle. Still looking to get into an F250 with Tow Command. Does the TC have boost settings and manual power settings? Do you need to go through a setup procedure while towing to get the power output set? Just curios, thanks. One...

    F250 vs. F350

    Maybe a dumb question, but I don't seem to get enough info off of the Ford website. Still investigating possibilities of getting me one of these awesome trucks. What are the primary differences between these? In comaring the both with the 6.0L diesel all I can really tell is the payload is...
