    Question If you have HID's..in here please!!!

    I got mine from "HIDKing" on ebay thanks to a reccomendation from Keano! :sweet I had a good experience with him- good communication and fast shipping. I had a small problem with mine because my truck required a digital harness, so I purchased a second harness (which came in handy later). The...

    Anybody ever do any dutch oven cooking? :stir I belong to a couple of dutch oven cooking clubs and we go camping about once a month, just to get together and eat, visit, eat, try new recipes, and uh- oh yeah EAT! :sly

    Looking for trip ideas...

    If you're gonna be around OKC, you might consider checking out the OKC Bombing Memorial downtown. My sister lives in OKC and she took me to see it. It's not exactly like going to Disney World, but VERY moving. Just to see the power and destruction caused by the bomb is amazing. I would recommend...

    Whatever happened to Diesel of the Month?

    I think it sounds like a great idea- especially separating them into different categories. Might could even work out a deal with some of the sponsors if you wanted to give prizes out- maybe give the winner a list of willing sponsors to choose from that would donate an extra 10-15% off the...

    mileage info

    Ckamp- I can get between 14-15 mpg average out of my truck. I don't have any mods, and drive 30 miles round trip everyday to work (all interstate). I just get in the right lane, set my cruise to 60mph, then sit back and relax! In my owner's manual it said something about try not to go over 10lbs...

    IS THIS RIGHT?

    Sorry to hear that Fulltilt. At least it ended with you getting a new truck (let's just hope that you have better luck with THIS one!). It's a shame that you and your family had to go through this and ruin a vacation too. It angers me when a business screws the average person that puts their...

    Anyone running these Recon Big Rig running lights?

    Thanks Ken! Yeah, sometimes I get a little case of clearance-light-envy. I made up a wish-list of options that I wanted, and this truck had all of them, plus more! .... except clearance lights. :( I figured if that was the only thing missing, I was doing good!

    Dubya dropped in for lunch!

    He was swinging through here for a $1,000-per-plate fund-raising luncheon for a fellow republican here in town. He was only here for about 4 hours and traffic was stopped for 3 of those 4 hours. If you had an appointment or somewhere you needed to go.... SORRY!

    Dubya dropped in for lunch!

    Just thought this was pretty cool- it's not everyday that the Prez cruises in front of the office anyway! Dubya flew into town today for lunch. Shut down the entire city for a couple of hours, then left! All interstates, highways, and city streets that were anywhere NEAR his route were...

    Anyone running these Recon Big Rig running lights?

    I've had a set on my truck for a couple of months now. Really easy to install- just three wires: one ground, one for running lights, and one for turn signal. Really bright and look good! The only complaint I've had wasn't so much with the lights, but with people kicking and stomping on 'em when...

    Scared to death....

    It's not the fact that my wife DOESN'T wanna drive my truck that's the problem, it's the fact that she DOES! :eek: ....And to make matters worse- it's an automatic which makes it that much more tempting! :sly All joking aside, she's a really good driver- it's just the fact that your adding...

    Difference between 08 F250 and F350?

    Ditto! TXEX- I was told the same thing when I bought my truck. I went to the largest truck dealer in the state to get a SRW F350, and they didn't have any??? The SALESMAN said that Ford had all but stopped producing them because there was no demand for them. I was actually looking at picking...

    Question Powerstroke Break In Procedure?

    Break In Procedure? What's that? I bought my truck in March and kinda wondered the same thing about a break-in period (this is my first diesel too)? The salesman owned a PSD himself and said "just drive it - it's under warranty". Mine had 19 miles on it when I got it, and I drove it pretty easy...

    Question for diesel techs

    X2 Fine69! My father always told me, "There are two things in life that you never let other people borrow: your vehicle and your wife, 'cause they just might throw a rod in either one!" :lmao

    HID light conversion?

    You may be right Keanoknick, but I READ that if the vehicle didn't come with HIDs from the factory, then it was considered illegal to install aftermarket HIDs. Nobody around here sells them OR installs them? :dunno You know if it's put in print, then it's the gospel truth! :lmao That's the way...

    Spray-on coating for aux tank?

    That's one NICE tank/toolbox combo BigBlock! :clap: I really like the color-matched look. I'm not sure I could afford to fill up THAT tank, though! It's all I can do to keep my truck full, much less the little (36g) tank in the bed! :dizzy One thing to consider if anyone is planning on...

    Hello Texas

    When we first moved to MS, we still had the house in TX too. We ran TX tags for a year or two after we'd moved, but eventually MS troopers began cracking down and required you to show proof of residence, etc. There's no way I'd actually try and do that now. The initial cost savings might be nice...

    Hello Texas

    I'm guessing this is done for cost savings? If so, maybe I need to check into doing it myself. I was born/raised in Texas, but my family moved to MS back in the late '80s when the TX economy crashed. I just purchased my truck in March and tags cost me over $1,000 :wow

    HID light conversion?

    I FINALLY got the lights installed! Had a few mix-ups with getting the correct harness for my truck, but it was worth the wait (turns out the '08 trucks need a DIGITAL harness). The next problem I had was finding room to mount everything under the hood. That brings me to the only complaint I...

    Spray-on coating for aux tank?

    Thanks for all the compliments! I figured that spraying it black would make it hotter in the summer- in fact, I was kinda concerned about it getting TOO hot, but the guys at the shop "assured" me that it would be ok. I was more concerned about it rusting than anything else. Now if I could...

    Spray-on coating for aux tank?

    Got the tank installed yesterday! I talked to a few shops and asked about spraying a aux tank black and letting it sit in the hot summer sun. They said as long as your carrying diesel and NOT gasoline, it'd be ok. Here are a few pics - I think it turned out nice!

    Trip Computer

    Just a thought - I used to work at a local college in the electronics repair department. People were always bringing in stereos, TVs, etc for free repair. The teacher also loved it 'cause it gave the students a wide variety of practice material and repair scenarios. You might try your local...

    Spray-on coating for aux tank?

    Does anyone have any experience and/or suggestions on coating an auxiliary tank with a bed liner-type spray-on coating? My dad has a tank (with elec. pump and hand nozzle) that he took out of his 1-ton dually when he sold it. It's a white steel tank which wouldn't look bad 'cause my truck's...

    HID light conversion?

    Well, I went ahead and ordered a set of HID Bi-xenons (high/low beams) from HIDKING on ebay (Thanks Diesel for the recommendation). They should be in sometime next week. I'll try and post some before/after pics when I get 'em installed. Thanks again guys for your help!

    Camping Help

    Another important factor to consider is how many people will be traveling with you? If it's just you and your spouse, you'll have many more models & options to choose from. If you'll be carrying 5 kids and 3 dogs, you'll be a little more limited to some of the bigger (i.e. more costly) models...
