    Weather stripping for my SD

    I'm cleaning up and painting all the rust on the bottom of my doors and after looking at the weather stripping decided it would probably be good to replace it since it's pretty dried out and cracked. Cannot find it anywhere. Local Ford dealer here went out of business so that's no good...

    Repairing rust on my SD

    Okay, I know this was on here before, I did a search but couldn't really come up with anything so my question is, what is the proper way to repair the rust spots that are on the bottom of the doors and the bottom panels of my truck. I know the spots have to be sanded first but what product...

    for all you pitbull lovers in CT

    These breed bans are happening all across the country. It's infuriating that the dogs have to suffer because of irresponsible owners. I've got 2 pits that come here for obedience lessons and they are great dogs. In fact, I've got them retrieving my labs bumpers and they love it!!!!! :D...

    FYI In an attempt to protect and keep

    I recently did my truck with the Ice Paste Wax and the detailer---it has that "wet" look now. You put on the paste wax, then spray with the detailer, then take it off. The rain just rolls off in real tiny droplets. I used it on my fiberglass cap and what a difference!!!! Only need a little...

    Question re. steering damper

    Thanks for the info.....much appreciated. The lifts were put on right after he bought the truck so they are NOT new. As for the steering damper I'm guessing it is the original one as is probably the steering box. I will pass this info to him today--might be back with more questions...

    Question re. steering damper

    To all the great minds on this forum, this question is for a friend of mine who works on his own truck much of the time. He has a '99 7.3L Ford SD, auto 4x4 shortbed, 2" lift kit w/front leveled and recently installed new Bilstein shocks after I convinced him how great they are. He loves them...

    Found 500 ppm FUEL!!!!!

    I found one today not too far from me......US Gas........apparently just opened. Couldn't believe it when I saw it was 500 ppm. There were about 6 trucks lining up after I started pumping and it was $4.15/gal which is pretty good for around here. About $.30 cheaper per gal. than any other...

    Found 500 ppm FUEL!!!!!

    Man, I wish they had it around my area. Only time I find it is if I'm waaay out in the boonies--those stations that carry diesel all have the 500 ppm, probably because it's farm country and the farmers would rather use that in their equipment or so I'm guessing. :dunno

    Question on anti-theft re. tuners

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    I'd like to know this myself. How exactly does HHO work? Where/how do you get the hydrogen and how is it measured? Is it really worth spending $1500 on a kit? Does it really improve MPG? Inquiring minds want to know...........:confused:

    Whew.......I was afraid to look at this hoping you did NOT put those lights on the rear roof..........that would definitely be UGLY and probably confusing to some of the idiots that are driving today!!!!!.........:dizzy

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    It's interesting--I have people all the time lately asking me "when are ya gonna sell that fuel eating truck?". When they find out what I'm getting mpg compared to what they're driving they shut up pretty quick. NO WAY am I selling my truck.....I'll wait it out.......just cutting back on...

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    I don't see why not--it's a legitimate recall. I never got a letter, took my truck over to the dealer and it was done, no questions asked.

    Looking at doing a Zoodad mod....

    I've had about 10 people ask me about the Zoodad mod Bama--suprisingly they'd never heard about it before. I don't think the majority believed me when I said it definitely helps but when they realized that the hole is right in front of the air intake they decided it made sense. The...

    Looking at doing a Zoodad mod....

    Got the 2 rainspout scoops at Loew's....cost me just about $4 (includg tax) for 2. Already had the hardware cloth which is 1/4" holes--haven't had any bug problem yet. Already had the black paint and used a dremel with a carbide bit to cut out the hole for the scoop. Went together pretty...

    Ants

    Diatomaceous Earth aka DE. Great stuff, you can use it in the house, outside and it's harmless to pets and kids. The stuff kills ants and other bugs by destroying their outer shell and then they die. They also take it back to their nests where it passes on down the line. Very...

    White cab lights

    I'm thinking about replacing the yellow cab lights with the white ones. Been looking around but haven't seen any trucks around here wearing them. I seem to remember somebody on here installed them but after an unsuccessful search figured I'd go ahead and post. Like to know what ya'all think...

    Looking to install a chip, programmer or.......

    I've been communicating with Dennis at ITP and he's been really great in explaining to me how a chip might help my truck. He stated right away that due to the fact that I'm already getting good mpg that might not change too much but there are other ways a chip could help, i.e. acceleration...

    Looking to install a chip, programmer or.......

    Yup, I am getting pretty good mpg.....that's why I want to find out if it's worth spending the money on this particular mod.

    Looking to install a chip, programmer or.......

    whichever one will help engine performance and mpg. I've been trying to read up on these things but not at all sure which one would serve my purposes. I don't pull/haul anything, lots of over the road driving (at least for now but that could come to a grinding halt soon thanks to diesel...
