    Help Needed 2003 6.0 Died on the freeway

    I have had this happen twice. First time it was the injection control pressure (icp) sensor and the second it was the fuel injector control module (ficm). They both cost about the same, $1200 or so. Both happened away from home so I had to let someone else work on it. The icm had more parts...

    Question Favorite brand of paint polish (not wax)

    X2 on the meguires being hard to remove. I have used both the swirl remover and the medium and while they work good, a little spatter on a mirror or even on interior panels takes forever to get cleaned up. Mothers is just as bad. Right now my favorite is Evercoat, and I highly recommend it. I...

    Help Needed 2012 cloth seats still as bad as they used to be?

    I have been looking at new trucks lately, the 6.0 is slowly going to bleed me dry I am afraid. Question is about the new interiors- is the cloth as cheap as it has been in the past, specifically like my dad's 2004 250 xlt? I really like the leather in my lariat but for the kind of money these...

    steamy tailpipe.

    The local ford shop estimated around 1100 min labor to take it in, like 800 in parts. I ordered a bulletproof egr cooler and a new oil cooler today. It was the same price as ford and the guy I talked to there said he has yet to warranty one. It came with all of the seals for 795 + 85 for...

    steamy tailpipe.

    The truck has seaped coolant at the cap for a long time, even after changing the cap, but not too much. this weekend I noticed when I started it up I I had steam coming out the tailpipe. smelled like antifreeze, but once it warmed up it went away. coolant level was good. right away I suspected...

    weird transmission fluid leak...sometimes

    I had a ranger that used to do that. It was the worst feeling ever the first time it happened! The vent dumps right onto the exhaust so all I saw was a huge cloud of white smoke in the rear view mirror. Thought I popped the engine. It never had any (other) tranny problems though:dunno As soon as...

    rollin on dubs!

    Just bought a set of 08 factory 20's and wheels on craigslist, not too bad a deal, 20's and almost new tires for the same price as 17" TIRES! I also bought all the stuff to put it back to stock height, because I hate the way it rides with the lift kit, as well as some oem nerf bars. Thinking...

    p0402 code (egr)

    I also used a tiny brass bristled wire brush, and a dental pick, both for the valve and the hole in the manifold. I used a vacuum to get the loose soot out of the manifold. Most of the crap was in the top port of the manifold. you could probably soak just the bottom of the egr(the valve part)...

    p0402 code (egr)

    yup the cleaning did it. the egr was a little sticky to get out, so I ended up using a 2 jaw slide hammer and it popped right out. it was super sooty, I cleaned it up and changed the o-rings/gasket and away I went. thanks Krist

    Looking for a Pontoon Boat, Questions?

    I see people pull skiers and tubes all the time with 90's and 100's. It seems to work good for them. Might not pull up a big boy slalom skier.... If you want to get serious about watersports I would get the 150 or better, but I think if you were that serious about watersports, you would be...

    wheel offset

    I can answer my own question- -.25" on the 99-04, +1.3" on the 05-up

    wheel offset

    real fast I just need to know what the actual difference is in wheel offset from a 99-04 to an 05-07. I am looking at some 20's and they are off of an 02. I wouldn't want them to stick out past the fenders too much, or be too far tucked in. Thanks guys Krist

    Looking for a Pontoon Boat, Questions?

    If I was looking at a pontoon I would be lean toward something around 24ft., with a minimum 90 horse. 30 year I dunno if a bank would go for that, I would think the depreciation would be too high, maybe 5-8 year would be more attainable?

    Question Salvage Title Questions????

    my truck has a salvage title, from an accident and I got it dirt cheap. I think most insurance companies will total out ANY stolen vehicle. If you need the details, (besides theft, accident, flood, etc.) a carfax is no good. I would suggest getting a look at the title and see if you can get a...
