    2017 Ford F250

    Our two lanes here in Idaho are usually 60-65 max. Typically too narrow or curvy to hammer around someone. They have put a lot of passing lanes in when roads are curvy. Only the interstate goes above 65 mph. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

    Question New Exhaust

    Update to resurrect an old thread. I just did a 4" Diamond Eye turbo back with muffler, aluminized steel. I got it installed locally for $475 plus tax. Sounds great. Throaty when you hammer on it and whistles enough I love to drive around with the right windows down. [emoji106] Sent from my...

    1993 IDI performance

    Since you're here, I ran a '94 for 14 years. Mine was the factory turbo model and I ran NAPA Gold Wix filters for fuel, air and oil. Be sure to get the fuel filter that reuses the water separator bowl. I also used the 1734 oil filter for the first gen Power Strokes. Holds more oil and filters...

    Storing my 6.7

    Give it a real good dose of Power Service or another good anti-gel winter fuel conditioner.

    Question Injectors

    I had all eight done just over a year ago. $600 in labor. My advice is when digging in that far you're money ahead to do them all especially knowing the others aren't far behind. I had to put mine on the credit card but it was that or pay again throwing labor costs away. I also went with Ford...

    Fuel Tank Hose

    No responses yet? Wish I had information for you. I'm still learning about my truck. If the line just reroutes back to the tank and nowhere else it sounds like a type of breather. I would think as long as the routing stays the same just replace it with a material that won't deteriorate with...

    Stolen truck, looking for replacement

    You already know about the 6.0s so don't be scared. I have an '04 and I am liking the 5R100 tranny. Always had manuals before and I miss it but not as much as feared. I tow and spend a lot of time in the mountains here in north Idaho hunting, ATVs and fly fishing. No issues with the auto. Is...

    2000-250SD body parts compatibility

    I agree. Non-diesel specific parts should all be interchangeable like body and interior parts. '99-'04 should be no-brainers and '05-'07 I would do some checking first depending on what it is.

    Head gaskets melted #3 piston

    The good news is now that you've done all of these things and did them right that truck will give years and miles of good service. You have addressed all of the Achilles in the is motor. These are the issues that cause big failures. Too bad you had to go as far as the piston and heads. Enjoy the...

    I have seen a bump stop replacement by Timbren. Might be a more economical option.

    Question 6.0 whistle/whine with white smoke at startup

    Some white on a cold start in cold weather might be okay but from the tail pipe. Could have an exhaust leak? EGR issue. Maybe pull and clean the EGR valve if it still has it. Not hard to do. White sometimes means coolant turning to steam but I would think other issues as well. Has it been...

    Question Ac woes

    They don't tend to cool things much without freon. Glad you found it.

    Question Ac woes

    First question is what's the temperature of the air coming out of the vents? Mine is around 40 degrees maybe a bit less when running down the road for a bit. Plus, as hot as it's been down there sometimes the AC can only do so much.

    2002 F250 parking brake circuit diagram

    Glad you found it. I hate chasing my tail on these kind of things. It's worse when it's something obvious and I'm too thick to notice, not implying you are.:D I'm speaking from my own experience!:rolleyes:

    Question Black Smoke Under hard Acceleration

    Since I'm the third owner and according to my mechanic the truck was babied so EGR and turbo was sooted up. I love the sound of the turbo spooling up so in spite of a$$ chewings from management for "exhibition of speed" from stops and slow turns I try to keep things "limber" as much as I can. I...
