    2007 Super Duty

    I dunno - kind of like blah to me at the moment. It would be cool having "actual" gauges installed on the A pillar - long as they are not just idiot gauges. Hopefully though they would be standard 2" that could be changed out. As for the dash - I HATE the round vents - actually I dont like...

    Advice needed

    Welcome to SDD John :sweet Yes - I think most of the problems were with the first year runs - the 03's and some 04's - but you will still find a ton of them either problem free or have had the recalls done - mine included. And at that - most of the problems were not really with the motor...

    Red Fox - Healthy or Not?

    Well - you guys are good . . . and correct. It appears from the howling/yelping that there are three of them. Since we are not use to them - it's kinda neat hearing them back there in the woods. Next door called and asked did we hear "that" - I said yeah - it's okay - go ahead and put your...

    Red Fox - Healthy or Not?

    Okay - so as two of you think it's a coyote - I did some checking. Seems that coyotes have been on the rise around here since they are not native here. Now here is something funny from the State of Virginia: "LEGAL STATUS: The coyote is legally classified as a nuisance species and may be...

    I think they look neat - but would rather have the 650 - the International just sits to high in the cab - but still cool. Ron

    "Home Dehumidifers" Who uses em?

    You know - it can get 100% humidity here outside of DC - and it's not raining! Anyway - I don't run one in my home - the AC lowers it enough. But my company does install a ton of them. What we install is called a SaniDry - its a heavy duty unit with an air filter in it. Needs to be connected...

    DINGING SOUND @74 MPH

    Hey Shad - Welcome to SDD :sweet First thing is that you need to turn the caps lock off. When you type in all caps it means that your yelling - As for the dinging sound - got me at the moment. If she was older of course I would say it's your speedo cable - but to not ding at 72 and...

    photo radar??

    I've never been hit by one - but one of my employees (speeding) did and the picture included showed a rear view (Virginia). My daughter got caught in DC - (didn't clear the intersection before it turned red) pictures there showed rear and front. Ron

    Red Fox - Healthy or Not?

    Early this morning - daylight just coming up - looked out my office window into the backyard and there was this, what I have to assume, was this really large Red Fox. Sucker was a bit bigger than my one dog TJ who is a Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix - though he was thin looking to me. He...

    photo radar??

    Not in Virginia - got ya is got ya. You don't pay it and it's points and possible suspension. And suspension means having to go stand in line with birth records, pass ports, etc etc. Just pay it and forget it - lesson learned. Ron

    what angers me

    For starters, the EPA. The 7.3 would not meet the new regulations for clean air. In addition to also having to keep up with GM and Dodge - Ford does not make the 6.0 - International does . . . just like they made the 7.3, 6.9, etc - and are making the 6.4 Now - having owned both a 7.3 and...

    Filters

    And I agree as far as what kind of oil to run - use what ever your happy with. I should have said that I didn't post that list to try and push the AMSOIL - it's just a good handy list of what componet takes what weights/type fluid - Ford recommendations. Ron

    Tuning for max MPG

    Takes about that many miles for her to get broken in. On my 01-7.3 - mileage went up at around the 35K mark. On the 6.0 here - it really hasn't changed much since about the mid 20's - maybe 1 or 2 at the most. Have just a little over 40K on her right now. Ron

    Tuning for max MPG

    Hans, Your truck is no where near ready to get it's best fuel mileage. She is brand new and not even close to be broken in. That will come in another 30 -40K miles. But you can do several things. Don't overlook the basic's - tire pressure, lose any extra weight, use cruise control, use a...

    Filling oil filter

    Hmmm - I find that odd since the oil you would use to prefill is the same that your just dumping into the top of the motor anyway - And I would hope that the oil that I buy is about as clean and filtered as it's going to get :dunno Ron
