    UNREAL

    Maybe - maybe not - what year is your truck? On some of the older trucks - 2002 and older - there are a lot of reports of the cable just snapping and losing the tire while driving. Ron

    PPE power enforcer

    Never even heard of it before - so I googled it. It appears to be a Quadzilla Xzillaraider that has had the labels changed to the PPE. Matter of fact the install instructions still show the "Xzillaraider" labels in the pictures. Personally if I was you - I'd just get the Quadzilla instead...

    Fuel Additives

    Okay - so it does get a little chilly there :) So the biggest problem then is that the station are not blending for the cold weather. In that case I guess I may add something. Up here they start around November or so with the blended and keep it through about April or so. It's been cold...

    Fuel Additives

    Question - does it really get that cold in Texas? Personally I don't worry about it until it's down in the teens - and even then I don't really do anything about it. Here it can get cold into the lower teens and with wind chill below zero - but not for sustained amounts of time - like a...

    Trip Preparation Need Advice

    One more item - chains and straps - take extra's. Tie that sucker down eight ways to Sunday. I constantly tow heavy - steel and excavators - and nothing worse that having a chain or strap fail and you don't have extra's. Heck I had a strap fail once - went under the trailer tire and blew it...

    7.3 vs. 6.0

    I currently have 40K miles on my 06. It's been on drugs since 27 miles - just long enough for me to get it home. I have the same transmission it came with. In my previous truck - an 01 with the 7.3 - by 40K I was installing my fourth transmission (a suncoast). The first three transmissions...

    Question about 2004 PSD

    Sure you can do it - it just doesn't come that way. New to diesels though, so here - Diesels are not designed to race - they are designed to work. And they do that very well. They will work circles around a gasser. Two things about pulling into traffic - one, the truck most likely was not...

    whats the best programmer for my 6.0?

    From what I understand - the SCT with the Extreme tune is about the hottest thing out there. It's making big numbers - Ron

    I don't know that it was your trucks fault - actually - but I'd have a stern talking to with that seat belt - :lmao :lmao :lmao Ron

    whats the best programmer for my 6.0?

    Soooo - do you work i.e. tow or haul with your truck or do you just drive around looking good in it? Give us a little more info about your truck and what you do with it - the better to recommend products. Ron

    2004 F250 PSD....Good or Bad??

    Welcome to SDD! Make sure that you get the VIN number and have a Ford dealer run an Oasis report on it for you. If you don't know what an Oasis is - in a nutshell, everything that was done to that truck at any Ford dealer is in the database. There were several recalls done on the 04's - all...

    what can i do w/out getting rid if the warranty

    When ever I have my truck in for service - I always get a call later either from the mechanic or the service manager. Question is always the same - "do you have a tuner installed?" - My answer is "no" - I do not have one installed. They don't ask if I had one installed - they simply ask if I...

    AC Shore Power Plug For Block Heater

    That may not save you, well at least it didn't work for me one morning. I had the big ole yellow cord draped around my mirror - got in the truck (my 01), started her up - idled for a few minutes then started to drive away. The mirror slamming into the window did wake me enough to stop. :eek...

    Lifts+Mpg=???

    I don't have a problem with his numbers - he is running the Edge - and most all of those products (Edge, Quadzilla, etc) will give you much better mileage over stock. I do better than he does - not lifted though. I'm guessing that I weigh in more due to the tools and stuff - 11K last time on...

    Engine runs weird sometimes

    For starters - run down to your local Ford dealer and have them run an Oasis on your truck and find out if the EGR recall has been done on it. It may not have. The EGR is covered under your engine warranty - so you could check on if there is a deductible you would need to pay depending on your...

    Ignition override for pitstops!

    Or you could go with the ISSPRO turbo timer and set the shut off temp all the way down. This would give you one, what you describe - and two, a useable turbo timer if you wish. Not positive but I believe the cost for the TTM is lower than the Sho-Me switch - I have the TTM, just don't recall...

    Finally....Tobacco free after 50 years.

    Good for you and hang tough :sweet After 27 years I gave it all up . . . cigs, cigars, pipes - and was good for 8 years - but my passion for a good hand rolled cigar never died and so my vice is that. Cigarettes on the other hand - can't stand them now and don't know how I ever did...

    Any chainsaw experts out there?

    Yep - I have a Husky catalog here somewhere - but it's best just to call Baileys. They will be able to hook you up with what will work - and they also carry capstans - kinda one stop shopping for you. In addition - most shops will sell you a stock saw and bar - with baileys you can pick your...

    Any chainsaw experts out there?

    Well I know it's all not what you wanted to hear - but there are several things that come into play. First is HP of the saw - will it even pull the chain without bogging down - if you continue to bog down a saw then you shorten it's life - and esp if you want to put a capstan on it. Then you...
