    Ready Lift SST

    when you get the m/t tires, I would seriously consider a dual damper system. They are cheap(100$ on ebay) and will save your steering components.

    Ready Lift SST

    Yeah that bracket is aimed at reducing bumpsteer. I dont have any experience with skyjacker springs, but I imagine they are stiffer than stock, and will rattle your teeth out like the ones I have:dizzy I like the sound of the sst kit, especially if they put in enough thought to address some...

    Ready Lift SST

    The front end on the 05-current super duties can be tricky when lifting them. One inch or so and you shouldn't be able to feel a huge difference in handling, go with the spring spacers. 2 inches or more and you start to get bump-steer and "twitchy" handling if you do not correct the angle on the...

    Question 4x4

    That is awesome. did you ever see exactly where/ how the old one was leaking? cracked housing, blown out packing etc?

    no power at cold starts ...

    I was thinking about the problem you are having... have you checked the ebpv (exhaust back pressure valve)? it is on the exhaust output side of the turbo. Anyway, when the temp is cold this will close to help with cold weather warmup. It will close in a cold start and open when the engine warms...

    Question 4x4

    well I would say that is definitely a bad solenoid valve. It must be leaking vacuum right within the switch somewhere. I am not sure if there is a rebuild kit for the valve, or if you are stuck buying a new valve altogether.

    Question 4x4

    try putting your vac on the red side, plug the black side, pump it up, then cycle the switch, and see if your solenoid valve is leaking somewhere.

    Question 4x4

    Does the heater change from floor to defrost randomly? or only when swithing 4x4 on/off? If it only loses vacuum when you are switching the 4x4 on or off, I would be inclined to say that the solenoid switch is indeed working, and the leak would have to be after that point in the system. I was...

    Question 4x4

    so you have the hose plugged right after the solenoid valve? and you are still losing vacuum when you turn on the 4x4?

    Question EGT for each side?

    You can never have too many guages! I had also wondered that when putting in my tuner, what about the other 4 cylinders, right? I heard a story about a guy with a cumm-a-part with a fueling problem where the front 3 cylinders were fine, but the back 3 were way overfueling. The low egt from the...

    no power at cold starts ...

    how cold is "cold"? My 05 6.0 does just the same thing, has always done it. I just let it warm up (2mins or so) and it is fine. It only does it now when it is around zero or colder, but when I had 15w-40 in it, it would do it all the way up to 30 or 40 degrees. Also, it seems like every interor...

    Boost Leak

    You can take a trip to the plumbing department at lowes and make one for about half the price. A few pvc or black iron fittings, male air chuck, larger pvc bushing, 4" rubber hose, cheapo guage and a couple hose clamps and you've got it. Also remember you gotta make a cap for the other end. They...

    poor inside heat

    No, not the exhaust, the coolant... get a big old sniff of that tank-o-green stuff. if it smells like diesel or like burning... that would indicate a compression chamber to water jacket leak, forcing air pockets to form in the system and coolant to be forced out. sounds like what might be...

    Help Needed 04 F-250 Dead

    ether or "starting fluid" is a perfectly legitimate way to start a diesel...They even have a tube into the airbox to spray it in. and it says it is ok in the manual. anyway this will only fire up the engine for a second, long enough to throw a code in my case. explosion? r u talking a...

    Help Needed 04 F-250 Dead

    when my 05 6.0 died like that, it did the same thing, just died and would crank, but not start. it did not throw any codes either. I finally got it to throw a code for the dealer by getting it to crack over on ether...I think it was just the ipr, but the dealer replaced both the hpop and the...

    emblems

    I am pretty sure the tailgate emblems have holes behind them, I know they did in 04, probably didnt change for 05. but it is cheap and easy to filll and paint just a tailgate. maybe shave the handle at the same time? sure would look nice! I like the photoshop...
