    steering problem

    hah sure sounds familiar. I had the pitman nut torqued, replaced drag link, alignment, tightened the steering box nut as tight as it will go, ford gave up and sent it to the off-road shop. They said that's it drives like an f250 and it was the best driving one they had been in. Apparently the...

    steering problem

    dave, i took it to the dealer as i didnt feel comfortable working on it by myself. They tightened the steering box and the problem is still there. They are taking it to the local off-road shop to have them take a look. Anything else you can think of?

    steering problem

    Allright Dave, I crawled under there last and low and behold I found what felt like 3 bolts on top of steering box. I never really felt one that was longer than the other or felt like it had the jam nut setup. Whats next? I wasn't too keen about just loosening stuff up and tightening it up...

    steering problem

    Is this something I need a socket for or will pliers work? I will take a look at it tonight. Do you know how tight I need to get it? Sorry for all the questions. Im a newbie to a dana 60 and the SD steering setups.

    cab lights after the fact

    how much was the kit? did you just buy the cab lights from Ford? Do they run with the headlights, or do you need the upfitter switches?

    2009 f-250 14" lift????

    how/where did you get the crossover steering? I have a pro comp stage one on my truck and I have had problem after problem with the steering. Apparently, the doofus that installed my lift did not tighten the pitman arm to proper torque. I would just as soon like a new steering setup on it.

    cab lights after the fact

    Anyone know how difficult it would be to add roof lights to their truck? how big of a hole do you have to drill?

    Help! Belching White Smoke

    yea, they smoke when they regen. Most of the time you can't see any exhaust unless it regens. My smoking incident was a cloud, about 10x thicker than what you see when the 7.3 guys blow black smoke when they accelerate.

    Help! Belching White Smoke

    Yeah regen sucks. The one thing I hate about this truck. Yes it only has 5,000 miles on it. I will have the look at the egr cooler. my coolant level was lower than it should have been. i topped it off and havent had the problem since last week.
