    Broken Superlift Add-a-Leaf

    Same thing happened to one of my rear add a leafs. They replaced it free and sent me two new ones. I was happy to say the least.

    Question 7.3 loaded or unloaded

    In the summer or even when it is about 80+ degrees, if I run about 75-80 MPH for about 15 minutes as soon as I stop at a light the fan comes on. It will go off after about 2 minutes once I'm moving again. This is unloaded also. I consider this very normal.

    '08 fender vents

    Well, if they are that expensive it can definitely wait. There are other engine mods I would rather do first. It was just a thought. Ever since I first saw them I figured if I could get a pair and make them functional they would aid the cooling effect in the engine bay.

    '08 fender vents

    At first I didn't like them but they are starting to grow on me. I would just like to keep the engine bay a little cooler for just a few bucks and a little work. Yes, I would cut through the fender so they would be fully functional. I just think it would be a cheap, easy to do mod that would...

    '08 fender vents

    Has anybody installed the side vents on the fenders from an '08 onto an older SuperDuty? I would think that it would help evacuate a lot of heat out of the engine bay. Especially down here in Lower Alabama where I am. A few cuts with a pneumatic saw, a little clean up, and maybe moving some...

    Exhaust Brake

    Do you guys think that the advantage of the ability to assist in braking outweighs the benefits of removing it entirely? I have read pros and cons both ways. I have trailer brakes which help out a lot so I really don't absolutely need the assistance I just thought it would be nice. If things...

    Exhaust Brake

    I thought I had seen one in the WIKI also. I couldn't find one though. Thanks for posting that document. Maybe I can get around to doing it over Christmas break. I assume it will work on an '01 since Big Joe has it on his newer SD. Thanks again.

    Exhaust Brake

    I would also like to do this mod to help when I'm towing our boat. I clicked on that link but it has been removed which doesn't surprise me as it was in '07. Time is money to me so $100 is do-able. Anybody have any pics or instructions???

    HP Crossover hose

    Mine is a little quieter but that's all I noticed. I'm happy that the oil is flowing in the heads better than before though which is really what I was after.

    Screwy speedo after disonnecting battery

    I still have a similar issue with my '01. My batteries went south about 5 months ago and ever since then my speedo doesn't work at all. Cruise works just fine so I'm thinking the VSS is fine. All the lights in the dash work as advertised. I have just been driving without the speedo and using the...

    Question Why is it...

    6 speeds in any year are very hard to find used. I searched for months and had to travel 2.5 hours to go see it once I found it. I have a friend looking for one right now. Getting very frustrated......

    spray in liner

    I know several folks that have Line-X and are very happy. Once I get around to it I'm getting mine done also. I like it better than Rhino.

    Powder coating!!!!!!

    I agree that 99% of the time parts only need one coat. However, if you put too much powder on a part initially, once it flashes it will run just like applying too much paint. Runs in powder are way harder to fix than paint runs. I have done numerous coats on stuff but only of the same color...

    Powder coating!!!!!!

    I've had the best luck by letting the part cool completely and then starting all over again. No prep is needed as long as you don't touch it with your fingers or contaminate it in any way. You will always have a bare spot to attach a hook to. I would just leave the hook on it from the first coat...

    Powder coating!!!!!!

    I've been doing my own powder for about 3 years now and love how well everything turns out. Since you have painting experience you will appreciate my next comment- it's all in the prep. It is probably even more critical than paint prep because it's not like you can just sand it down and re-coat...

    Rotella T 5W-40 price?

    I'm getting ready to put an Oilguard Bypass filter on mine this weekend and I am going to run Rotella T Syn 5-40. I have found it here at AutoZone for $19.99. The Evil Empire is $22.95 a gallon. However, if you have a Rewards card at AutoZone you get a stamp for every $20 and I'm buying 6 so...

    08' mirrors

    I put 08's on my '01. Love them versus the old flag mirrors. I can see substantially better. Mine are manual without the lights. Would like the lights but I only paid around $175 for them new so I can't complain.

    Exaust ?

    I bought the 4" turbo back from Summit racing. Mandrel bent and real easy install. I am VERY happy with the results. I paid, I think, $295 for it. Made a big difference in performance. I am using the muffler that came with the system as well. You can really hear the turbo now. I would rather...

    Question unit bearing time....

    I used a pneumatic cut off tool to cut a portion of the bearing away where the studs go thru it. They came out real easy with zero damage.

    No power to the PCM

    I have a friend that has a 2000 7.3 that won't start. He put two new batteries in it. Fuel is getting to the bowl. Fuses all look good. He had a friend come over that hooked up his laptop to it and was running a program from Ford he said. The 'puter said the PCM wasn't receiving any power...

    water4fuel

    I'm looking at the 11a Dual Brick model for $599. I know after doing a lot of research that all of this is easily made. However, I think having one delivered to your door that has already been designed and used on a diesel truck would be better for me as time is my most precious commodity. I'm...

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    Just google HHO and you'll be swamped. You tube has some good videos also. I'm looking at a $599 kit from tnhybrids.com. I'm trying to find all the nay-sayers so I can get the other side of the story also. It looks very promising to me.

    Help Needed Speedometer failure

    My speedo is stuck under the peg after a dual battery failure a few days ago (see 911 thread). I'm assuming my VSS is still working as my cruise works just fine. Any suggestions??
