    Died in the middle of the road - no warning

    Looks like the CPS died, make sure to carry one with you. Had no place to get off the 3 lane road before it rolled to a stop. Found one on the web for 49.99, dealer wants $165. Just took a 10mm socket with a 3-in extension. I needed a few more joints in my arms to make it easy..

    getting around to a couple minor maintenence things

    It doesnt need to warm up that long. Let it high idle for a few mins and then go if it is really cold.

    Good Sam

    We canceled our AAA to use it. Too many folds saying that with a large 4x4 truck that AAA didnt have the equipment to tow. I only callled them once, but I got out before they got there. They werent that long to get there and had the right equipment when they did... Probably would have had a...

    99 F350 questions...

    You will also hear a hissing from the exhaust when the engine is cold. Until it warms up you will have some exhaust restriction to aid the warmup process. If you have hard starting, or lots of white smoke on startup then you may have glowplug issues. Until the trans will shift into OD...

    Magnefine filter questions

    Dont have it flushed, do it yourself.. There are too many folks that have had trans failures after a flush by some oil change place. You dont need them mixing up all of the debris with some back flush and chemicles. i think there is a "how to" on doing it yourself, all of the fluid flows...

    Loud noises

    If th noise goes away once the TC locks up then it is the TC.. BUT.. I thought that was the 99.5's and not the 2000's.... I have a late 2000 (mirrors extend) and it is not suposed to be a problem with them. Are you sure you have a 2000 and not a 99.5? Do your mirrors extend out longer...

    opinions: F250 vs. F350

    My sortbed/CC fits in my garage. If you have kids, or plan to, then you need a Crew Cab. Garaging the truck really saves a lot of wear

    asap how many quarts oil?

    With the quarter car wash you will blow water into all of the electronic connectors. Then you will probaby have some real problems, now and later. More than a qt in 1000-miles is what they concider a problem. Even under warrenty they wont do anything unless that is met. Many have found that...

    asap how many quarts oil?

    Take a look in the Powerstroke manual that came with the truck. It states very clear that it is normal for some oil use. This line is on the page that says how to check the oil. Over filling the oil can be worse that have it a little low. Add 14qts and then see how it looks. Manual states to...

    Anyone still sell the in-tank kits?

    Need another kit to removing the mixing valve. The kit had the filter for before the fuel pump, and the fittings to remove the mixing valve.

    truck wants to be difficult in the morning

    What weight is your oil, some have found that thinner oil works to stop the romp. Me, well I just tap on the fuel and it clears up. Truck starts right up even when really cold, so mine isnt the glow plugs. I figure mine just like to complain, so I just tap the fuel. If it starts easy when...

    Whoops! ran out of diesel, what now?

    You are lucky if you dont have a bent rod or didnt blow a head gasket. Big no-no with a diesel.

    Fuel Economy Changes

    Biggest milage mod is to just slow down... I try to keep the TC locked, and not go over 2000 RPM. Keep it at or below 65-mph. Get almost 20MPG on the fwy. If I go 60-mph I get 21.5MPG, but it is too slow. Pulling 10K trailer I keep it at 59 vs. 63. This gained me almost 1-MPG, which is...

    Pre-pump and in tank mods

    Should have taken that mixing valve out while at it. It is one of the main causes that if you do get air that it cant get out. Also, if you get lower that 1/4 tank that duck bill valve can leak air. Mine was much quieter when I made the mods and seems o get more all the time. When I installed...
