    I have never cycled the key multiple times!?! I always just started as I normally would after a filter change, no problems.

    tire transmission question

    Your final drive is determined by the outside dimmension of the tire, not the 16 or 18" rim. So look at, or actually measure the outside perimeter of the tires. If the size is bigger on the 18's you may gain some mileage. (but the #'s may be so small you wouldn't notice) If you already have the...

    What is the deal

    Maybe it's just because I live in Michigan and only frequent a few surrounding states? But I don't see Ford losing the truck battle to any Japanese automaker. F-150 owners are a very dedicated breed, they keep buying the same truck every 3-4 years, occasionally losing a few owners, but I would...

    think I'm losing my mind

    I've heard the standard response to the unexplained can all be covered under one umbrella response. "GLOBAL WARMING IS CAUSING YOUR TRUCK TO RUN POORLY":eek: So you can face the fact you're loosing your mind or blame it on global warming. I use it a couple times a day! :D It helps keep...

    Easy killer, did you notice the question marks (6 of them) They generally mean someone is asking a question. If I was stating something I believed to be a fact the "???" would not be there. What I was asking is, (notice the ??? at the end of this sentence) Could the extra smoke, incomplete...

    symptoms of today

    I second that, 4 years of history with this motor now, they are aware of all the possible problems, all the dealers have access to the same info from FMC and should be able to correct any problems. You have a tech that doesn't care or doesn't know the motor. ??? Couldn't an exhaust issue like...

    is it worth changing oil brands?

    I would ask myself: How long will I keep this truck? will you keep it long enough to justify the increased cost? Are you a person that dumps trucks before 100K? Or do you drive them until the motor needs a rebuild/ replacement. What will the increased cost be for the ams syn? just do the...

    cold weather psi...

    This was after it reached normal temp. Running for about an hour at highway speeds. Could the cold denser air just make more noise on the intake side?

    cold weather psi...

    Anyone else notice their turbo being more audible in the cold? (it's been 10 below -15 above the last couple days) I can hear the thing screaming:sly No loss in power, actually feels like the it's running better than ever in the weather.

    Fuel gelled this morning...

    Only living things feel the wind chill. To your truck -10 is just -10. As much as some of us beleive our trucks are living things, that's not the case. :sly

    Turbo failures due to aftermarket exhaust

    I'm on my third for the 03. Mine is stock. One of these days they'll be saying "Sorry sir, FMC has instructed us to void your warranty because you weigh more than 200 pounds and that is causing more stress on the left battery"
