    Help Needed Used Truck Values

    Does anyone know of a resource available to the general public where I can look up the value of a Super Duty Chassis Cab truck? I have a done search but can't seem to find anything related to these trucks and Kelly Blue Book and NADA don't seem to have anything for the general consumer without...

    No start

    Is it possible that once the oil is warmed up the HPOP system can't build the necessary pressure to fire the injectors? Maybe the oil rail plug o-rings have failed. This is a complete shot in the dark. Good luck and let us know.

    New 2011 Super Duty Diesel...............

    I must admit the styling is a bit disappointing to me especially when I think back to how blown away and awestruck I was with the 08 styling. The F-450 revisions are a major disappointment, since I had high hopes of upgrading to one in the next few years. I can't understand why they got rid of...

    Let it run or not?

    Diesels are less efficient at idle becasue they are not running at their optimum temperature. They also tend to be louder at idle because they are not burning the fuel efficiently. I saw a sticker on a company work truck one day that reminded the drivers to shut their trucks off...the sticker...

    2008 F350 hits 112,000 miles

    Is the drip coming off the framerail just behind the bumper or is it dripping off the engine somewhere? On edit: I see in your original post you say the drip seems to be off the engine. Just wondering because a drip off the framerail behind the bumper seems to be a good indicator of the...

    Diesel Cetane Ratings

    BlueOneTon, there is a Sunoco station up in Timonium that has the Cetane ratings posted on their diesel pump, but it is one of just a few I have seen in Maryland.

    2008 F350 hits 112,000 miles

    Thanks for the info David, and glad to hear the truck is treating you well. I'd be interested to hear where the coolant is coming from. Have you evey had a radiator replaced due to the recall?

    Help Needed Little throttle response, very sluggish

    I'm just throwing this out there....is the truck blowing some black smoke when you are trying to acclerate? If so, I think my first check would be the boots on the air tubes from the turbo to the intercooler and the intercooler to the intake manifold. It's possible one has slipped off or is...

    New head studs

    Fordoor is right this is fraud and I doubt very much that anyone that spends anytime on this forum is going to be supportive to this practice of trying to commit fraud. If you want to try to intentionally break your truck do so at your own risk, expense and humility, but there won't be much...

    Question Rear spring block

    Ford actually has a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) about this very issue. As you have asked you can lower the back of the truck by installing the shorter 2 inch spacer blocks. FYI, the TSB regarding this issue, mentions that many other rear components must be changed in order for the truck...

    Question f250 pulling 11,000lb 5th wheel

    Well it sounds like you understand what numbers you need to work with to figure out your capabilities with the truck as it sits now. I can't remember the rear axle rating for a 2004 F-250 but I'm guessing that 5,400 lbs. is probably getting close. And notice that each rear tire is rated at...

    X2...Sounds like a dirty/sticking EGR valve to me.

    Question f250 pulling 11,000lb 5th wheel

    DennyF, I have a few questions for you: 1. Is the 11,000lbs weight of your trailer the max gross weight of the trailer (ready to go out and play with all your gear loaded) or is this the empty weight of the trailer? There is a sticker on your trailer (usually on the tonque of the trailer or...

    Question Middle seat swap for '00 Lariat?

    Yes you can swap out the console for the center seat. Don't forget to get the seat belt assembly for the middle seat. As you have already figured out, you will have to remove the armrests on your captains chairs to get the seat to fit in between. Out of curiosity do you know the reasoning...

    Trailer Help

    This seems like a good location for your question. So if I'm understanding the description of your trailer correctly, the ramps are held in the vertical position for moving the trailer? If so, you could try to find some chromemoly steel flat bar, or maybe just some mild steel angle iron so...

    Type of Fifth wheel i should get

    Glad the info I passed along was helpful. Be sure to snap a few picutres of your new setup when you have it so we can see the results of our suggestions.:)

    Type of Fifth wheel i should get

    A gooseneck will give you more articulation for your offroad travels. A fifth wheel setup usually does not provide more than 10* of tilt from center to one side. A gooseneck ball will pivot over to the side like a bumper pull trailer hitch until the coupler binds on the underside of the ball...

    time for a new clutch

    A friend of mine has a South Bend CON FE (not sure if that's the model name) clutch in his Dodge 3500 cummins. He has a tuner in his truck (but no other mods) and I'm sure the clutch was upgraded to match the power levels his truck is capable of. HOWEVER, the clutch is very agressive and very...

    Help Needed Looking for info on backseats

    The seat EmptyDub has is the split fold rear bench that you are looking for and it is called the "Flex Fold" rear seat and was available on 2004 and newer crew cab trucks. It was standard on all XLT and Lariat trucks unless optioned with the rear bucket seats in the King Ranch or Harley Trucks...

    Can you identify who makes this grille?

    That grill was part of the Chrome Package on 2005-2007 superduty trucks. It is a factory Ford piece.

    EGR Baffle kit

    I think your best answer will come from the service advisor at the dealership that originally informed you of this situation.

    New guy to the site... Researching for a purchase!

    It'a an option that was available on the trucks from the factory. It upgraded the alternator, had a special engine fan clutch, higher capacity front springs and possibly a few other things that escape my memory right now.

    4 miles to empty

    Believe it or not the PCM is programmed to develop a "rough running" condition when the fuel level drops dangerously low, and yes it is intended to make the driver check the gauges and hopefully see the truck is dangerousely low on fuel. It is actually outlined in the Powerstroke Diesel Engine...

    Dual 5' Firestik tuning issue

    My understanding is that you are not supposed to alter the length of the coax cables. They are manufactured in lengths of 9 and 18 feet due to the tuning requirements. The extra cable that you were worried about can be annoying to find a spot to bundle it up out of sight but you do need it for...
