    AutoEnginuity To The Rescue - or - How I Saved $1500.00

    My boss - being the tightwad that he is - is in the habit of buying older trucks for our guys to drive around in (contractor). Anyway, our 94 F250 appears to have have dropped a cyclinder so he said to be on the lookout for a replacement. So I see this 97 F350 Reg Cab 4x sitting not to far...

    Welcome to SDD :sweet You are correct on the gauges - most popular selection. Which gauge maker you select is up to you - just depends on what you like and how deep your wallet is. On the boost - 0 to 35 is really all that you need. Check out the site sponsor's - anyone of them can help...

    AC Shore Power Plug For Block Heater

    Yeah - it's just standard electrical contact grease that I use all the time on everything so therefore - I can't remember the name of it. :dunno Comes in a small can with red cap and red/white label. Anyway - I use it on all exterior connectors. Keeps the corrosion and moisture out...

    AC Shore Power Plug For Block Heater

    I can't imagine that they would put a fuse on heater - far as I know the cord just goes straight to it. My guess is that they would rely on the home breaker to throw if there is a fault. Just to list things that you may have already checked - House fuse? - are you plugged into a GFI circuit...

    So ummm - Got Ding?

    Um yeah - but only once, twice, thirty times or so :eek: I think it was just one of those times that everything was lined up just to hear it. Normally I have the scanner, CB, XM radio (and toss in the radar detector) going - and when the wife/kids are in the truck I turn them up even louder...

    Age old questions about gauges and pods

    Ditto - every word. There simply is no case, not one - to support a fear of pre-turbo. If you insist on post then you are simply wasting money so don't even do it. A-pillar mount. Blind spot? Yes. But it's not unlike any other blind spot - you simply learn to tilt or move your head...

    Any cabinet makers/wood workers here?

    Thanks - looks like a good book. I'll try to locate a copy around town here - much rather own it than rent it. I'm no expert when it comes to building furniture - but can hold my own when I put my mind to it. And since this piece is going to be a center piece - I really want it to come out...

    Driving across our great land on Friday 17 feb

    Isn't that some crap - just when you thought you had seen most anything. There is a place down in Fredericksburg Va - some kind of auction house I guess - but we see caravans on 95 all the time going to and from there. But nothing like that. Most of them are say 10 crap car/trucks pulling...

    Any chainsaw experts out there?

    I have run Stihls all my life - only in the past three years did I switch over to Husky. Great saws - can't go wrong there. One common problem that I had on every Stihl was this. There is a small soft rubber hose that runs from the tank to the carb - when the saw starts to run ragged or...

    Tow Haul

    I don't know if I understand exactly what your asking for here. If your towing heavy - then yes - it's good to have the T/H mode engaged. It purpose is that of an engine brake to help with stopping of course. Yes it will lower your fuel mileage as it changes the shift points higher and runs...

    Where to buy power/heated/signal towing mirrors?

    I've used both places to buy parts from - Powerstrokeshop is not as fast and friendly since Dale left there - but I hear that they do get back to most people sooner or later. Overall I have gotten better prices from fordpartsonline and cheaper shipping rates. Ron

    Humor: A guy walks into a bar . . .

    A guy walks into a bar and sees a gorgeous woman working on a large glass of merlot. Walking up behind her he says, "Hi, good lookin'! What's up?" The hottie turns around, looks him straight in the eye and says, "Let's cut the small talk. I screw anybody, any time, anywhere, your place...
