    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    ATS TC = SWEET. ATS TRANS = EXPENSIVE GARBAGE. Sorrry. I couldn't help it. I managed to tear up an almost $5000 ATS trans (I distinctly remember expressing my emotion about ATS products a few months back). When we got it took apart, we found out it was nothing more than a a thicker drum, some...

    Is there a "better" starter/7.3

    x3 Dave. yep yep, rammertide. I only know this becuase I spent like 5 hours daydreaming and building my own custom F-350 on the Ford website, and I saw all of the available options :D :D

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    I rebuilt my whole trans (it was scorched) plus new billet TC for just over 3000. Would've cost a lot less if I knew how to do it myself :(

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    Are you referring to that FUBAR video, when he said it'd be like a $3000 job? Seems pretty high to me, but for parts + shop labor nowadays, maybe he's right :dunno Here's what I found after googling it. Decent photos of the R&P and extra stuff, and prices. Pretty much just the first ones I...

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    FUBAR hahahaha Agreed. x47. idk about you, but throwing a couple thousand into a new TC doesn't sound like much fun to me. Speaking of purty trucks...I found a good laugh for ya. Check this chit out for them perty trucks. I caught my TEXAS neighbor (OF ALL PEOPLE) when I was home on...

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    X2!! I've already had to rebuild my trans because the programmer got a little TOO much fun ;) Back to original topic: I would say that if money isn't a huge issue, I'd get the bigger lift. That way if you decide you want to do more than just drive (i.e., off-roading, etc) the extra space...

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    First time I ever inquired about my gearing, I called the dealer and just asked what they came with stock.

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    Re-gearing will improve mileage and relative power when using larger tires compared to the original tires. Right now, you'd be losing power as it dissipates in the drivetrain, as the larger diameter tires take longer to get started, and rotate less at the same speed. This causes the engine to...

    Is there a "better" starter/7.3

    Hey hey hey...in my defense, I said I didn't know if they were alllll set up like mine was. With 2 batteries. :D The only thing I've heard about other SD electrical systems is that you can get the newer ones with 2 alternators, which would mean 2 batteries. Other than that, my SD is the only...

    Is there a "better" starter/7.3

    Mine are. I gotta ask also, do all of our trucks run 2 batteries? Someone asked me about mine, and I honestly didn't know if they alll did. :)

    Question Different tire recommendations for same size lift?

    Like Dave said. Doesn't really make sense. 6 inches is 6 inches. I'm sure you could get away with it. I really don't know why they don't fit all the same tires. A friend of mine said its because they're trying to get people to buy their bigger lifts for those tires. I dunno how to validate...

    2008 Super Duty tow mirrors

    I just noticed the link didn't work. The mirrors I was looking at are OEM replacements. I just wanted to know if I could fit the 2008 mirrors on my 99, if they'd mount the same way my current ones do.

    Is there a "better" starter/7.3

    Connections are pretty sensitive, from my experiences. I too have a bunch of wires coming off my terminals (subs speaker cables, train horns power, winch cables, LED strobes aux power, etc.), and I spent a full-out month diagnosing the truck's intermittent start problem. I knew it had to be...

    major malfunction help

    I had this EXACT same problem, until about a a month ago. I found out that the battery terminals on these trucks are pretty sensitive. Mine was just a tad loose. Not enough to draw my attention, but apparently enough to give exactly the symptoms you explained (dome light blinking, weird clicking...

    Question Max Tire size for 2005 F250

    I'm actually running BF Goodrich 38's with just a 4 inch lift. Only mod I did was upgraded my steering stabilizer to aid in turning the extra weight. Check out my pics.

    Update Before and after!

    Just felt like sharing my progress! This is the truck a couple months after I bought it. I had just bought brand new tires for it. *IF YOU CLICK THE PICS, YOU CAN SEE THEM BIGGER. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THEM BIGGER ON THE PAGE* Unfortunately, some punk...

    Gt38r

    $1,500-$1,800 Check the site's sponsors first. I know eBay has kits available also. Personal opinion: GT38R matched with AFE-stage II is a very good setup, arguably the best entry-level mods for our trucks. I love mine, and I'm sure you'll find someone on here who can answer any of your...
