    Aftermarket IN-Dash Navigation

    AVN 6600 Try an Eclipse AVN6600. It's a double DIN so it fits exactly into the dash. It's pretty rugged, so it can take a bounce or two. The accessories that you can get are great. You can use it as an IPOD player, Sirius or XM radio, CD Changers, MP3s, MP3 DVDs, etc. It also plays real...

    05e16 emission recall 05-06

    Update Successful I had that particular upgrade on my 6.0 L 06 F250 back in the middle of summer. I was also a little worried about what I might come away with. Actually, I can't tell the difference. I did chat with the diesel tech at the dealership at length about it. From what he told me...

    glow plugs and the winter

    I've never had any problem getting her started either. However, I did experience what they call "surge" last winter when it was well below zero. It's basically due to the lack of oil flow to the HPOP when the oil is cold. However, I just changed over to the Mobil 1 Diesel Truck and SUV oil...

    Mobil 1 Diesel Truck and SUV Synthetic Oil

    Yep, there's a Wally-World close by. They're everywhere. They don't carry it, but they can get it on a special order. I just ordered 5 gallons. Should be surging through the vital parts in a week or so. Richard

    Mobil 1 Diesel Truck and SUV Synthetic Oil

    I'm gonna give it a shot. Mobil has just came out with their Diesel rated line. I know that some Mobil oils are rated both ways. However, this one just came out and got endorsed by Chevy, Ford, and Cummins. The only issue is that I'm having a bear of a time finding some. My local auto parts...

    Mobil 1 Diesel Truck and SUV Synthetic Oil

    Anybody use this stuff. I've read the bios on it and it seems great. I have run Mobil 1 in a gasser and loved it. This stuff fully exceeds Ford's requirements. Looking for a little better gas mileage and maybe better winter starting.

    ByPass Oil Filter

    Thanks Dave. I'm thinking of modifying it to put the Ford Blue Oval as the background. Maybe something along the "Keep On Truckin" theme. Not enough hours in the day to work and do all that too. Richard

    ByPass Oil Filter

    Thanks Much Thanks for all the replies. I am leaning towards the FS2500 myself. The major dislike that I had was the rubber hoses, which I would have replaced with SS braided units anyway. I also wanted to know if anyone had one installed and had any issues with it. I have a buddy who is...

    ByPass Oil Filter

    I'm close to installing a bypass oil filter. I like theFS2500 that's touted in all of the magazines. That seems tailored towards big rig guys, which means it's likely a good product. I also know that Amsoil puts out such a thing. Does anyone have experience with these? Which would you...

    LCD 'puter monitor?

    I run a Fuji Plus right now. Had an NEC, but gave it up to the girlfriend. Just so that you know the difference in a cheap LCD and an expensive LCD is the number of pixels (actual LEDs) which don't work. ALWAYS see the actual monitor you're buying. If there's a black spot or two in the...

    What comfort upgrades have you done?

    Alpine Navigation System I'm off to put in a new Sat Navigation Radio next month. Alpine W200 2-DIN package with a 6.5" screen. It will deal with navigation, it controls an IPOD, it is sat radio (either Sirius or XM) ready (I have Sirius), and it will deal with CD and DVDs. Pretty cool rig...

    Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 5W40 or Royal Purple

    Didn't mean to stir up any personal feelings or ruffle any feathers. I have run synthetic in a gas burner and liked it. I have seen posts where folks have said that they run Amsoil or Rotella Synthetic in their PSD. The two most commonly available to me are Mobil 1 and Royal Purple. I just...

    Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 5W40 or Royal Purple

    I know this is a popular subject and there have been lots of posts, but haven't seen anything about these two synthetic oils. Does anyone use them? If so, what are the results. Also, I only have about 4k on the clock, should I change over to synthetic now or wait until 10k or so? I know...

    Fuel Additives

    -14F and it still works I use the Power Services stuff in every tank. It was -14F here yesterday and she turned right over. It didn't enjoy it, but it did start. It was not plugged in. I don't know if I'll continue to use it in the summer time or not, it does get pricy when you use it in...

    St Valentine All good tips! Did you know that St. Valentine was beheaded on Feb 14 after writing a love letter to his jailer's daughter! Just goes to show that I may be the most trivial person that I know. ShraderMan:rolleyes:
