    7.3 fuel mileage question

    mpg's Have you changed the fuel filter recently? I have only been around diesels for a short time and have learned alot from these forums. I noticed my mileage decreasing at a steady rate. From about 15 to 11mpf. After the fuel filter change I am in the 16 to 17mpg range (60% city / 40%...

    Dallas public schools

    The suburbs. We moved out of Dallas to get away from the private school expenses, because there was no way my boy was going to DISD. Not only are the schools better, but home and vehicle insurance are cheaper as well. Once you get out of Dallas County, you start noticing the little things...

    Nice rig! Is that front end piece a home fabrication or a bought item. I could see how that would come in very handy out in the field when hunting. fgtex

    2001 f350 tranny issue

    I run at about 65-70 mph at 2000 rpm. What area do you live in? There are many "lower" mileage super duties available in the DFW area. As long as the vehicle has been well maintained it should not be a problem. See if you can get a Ford dealer to run an Oasis report on the VIN to check the...

    F250 vs. F350

    Both of theses trucks can be had with the 4x4 option. That is a matter of preference. The 350 comes with the single rear wheel or dual rear wheel option. The DRW has more towing capacity than the SRW. From a ride standpoint, I have a 350 SRW and it rides good for such a big truck. In years...

    Larger Fuel Filler opening

    I haven't had a problem filling up at truck stops before. The nozzles are bigger and the pump rate is faster. I like them better because it seems like it cuts my fueling time in half. fgtex

    Diesel Kleen + Biodiesel

    Hello All, I have recently started using Diesel Kleen from Power Service in my last several tanks of regular diesel fuel. I like the difference that I have noticed (either real or imagined). I will be filling up with bioWillie on a trip to Waco in a couple of days. Can I / should I...

    Auto Diesel vs. Truckstop Diesel Fuels

    Good question. One would think that it is the same. Maybe the truck stop goes through theirs faster, so you get the bottom of the tank sometime. I did notice in Arizona, if I remember correctly, that the tax on "commercial vehicle" diesel was like 5 cents more a gallon than "private...

    fluid change in axles

    Hello All, Question. I am crazy or are there no drain plugs on the stock 2002 F350 4x4 SRW front and rear axles? Do I have to take the covers off to change the fluid? I see the inspection/fill plug, but not one lower than that. If so, I will have to wait until I can get some new covers...

    Engine overfill

    oil changes me too! I took a previous V6 Chebby the local Quick Lube place. I asked the guy how much oil he put in and he told me "...6qts, all Chevys take 6qts." After I took out my manual and showed him it only took 5 qts, they drained out a qt or so and topped it off. Then they...

    Fusebox spot that is always on

    I am looking for a spot in the under the dash fusebox that is 'always on'.:confused: I can't seem to locate my factory manual right now. I have one of those add-a-fuse devices from AutoZone in the fusebox to power my satellite radio receiver, but now it only comes on with the key in the run...

    locator I don't know if any of the sponsors of this site carry the fumoto drain. I used to 'find a dealer' link on the fumoto website. The listing is of distribiutors, so you can call the one for your area and ask them who sells them to the public. This is what I did. You can also search...

    How are you disposing of old oil?

    used oil I take my used oil to the local Auto Zone. That is where I buy my oil. One time they asked if the oil was from one change. I showed them the receipt for a four gallon purchase and my truck and have had no problems since. In College Station the city runs a recycling center behind...

    Fumoto Valve

    I am betting that I will get good use out of it. That is why I love this site. :hail You get the straight scoop! The worst driving condition that my truck sees is a construction zone. I am still trying to justify the extra expense for the 4x4 to the wife.:rolleyes: fgtex
