    Opinions on bed liners

    Has anyone used Herculiner? Seems somewhat time consuming and laborious but I am young and am 100% confident I could do it myself. Plus, at this point, I would rather shell out $150 and some elbow grease rather than $500-$700. If the prep and application is done correctly, how does it...

    Opinions on bed liners

    I'm thinking about getting my truck bed sprayed soon. I just wanted to get some opinions on the different options out there. Rhino, Line-X, etc... Also, what is the going rate to get a long bed done? Prep, spraying, etc.

    Rear Main Seal?

    The valley is filling up with oil. Anyone have any pics or a good description of the HPOP lines? I think I will start there.

    Getting real tired of this!!!

    My windows and radio only work about 10% of the time now. The problem started about 3 years ago and it only happened once every 6 months or so. Now the radio never seems to power up. I used to be able to give the dash a thump and everything would come on, now I have to after it like Mike...

    Rear Main Seal?

    I did a search on the site and the concensus is that the leak is coming from the valley. I just sprayed the valley and topside of the engine with degreaser and I'm going to let that soak for a while. Once I get everything clean I will begin a thorough search and report back with any findings.

    Rear Main Seal?

    I have developed an oil spot on my driveway recently. I crawled under the truck to try to pinpoint the leak. There was oil film on the bottom of the oil pan that extended back to the bell housing on the tranny. I'm thinking the rear main seal is the culprit. Does the motor have to come out...

    My Summer Vacation

    I did see three pickups. They were all 05-07 PSD's set up as airplane tugs to move the F-15's that were sitting on the apron. The biggest cars over there were Jeeps and Ford Escapes. There was the occasional van thrown in but they were a pain to get down the roads. Not counting the major...

    My Summer Vacation

    My sister and her husband are stationed at Lakenheath AFB in England. We just got back from a two week vacation to visit them. While we were there, my wife and I decided to take "mini vacations" to Paris and then to London. Coincidentaly, the Paris trip landed on my wifes birthday and our...

    Gvw restrictions

    Have you weighed your truck fully loaded? I bet you are within 1,000 lbs of your 8,800 lb gvw before you hook up to your trailer. How much weight are you putting on the rear end of the truck? What are your tires rated for? I know that our trucks will pull the world, but steel is steel...

    balancing tires on F350

    I heard a trick once that may or may not help with your problems. Use two tapered lugnuts to center the wheel on the hub then install the remaining six lug nuts. Once those are tight, you can remove the tapered lugnuts and install the two remaining factory lugnuts. This, of course, is...

    Laptop charger EXTREMELY hot!!

    I didnt find any recalls. I modified the charger with some legs so that it would sit off the table a little that way i could get air flow on all four sides. We'll see if that makes much of a difference.

    Reached down to move it and the thing actually burned my hand! What is going on? It is an HP charger.

    How is this Constitutional?

    I just dont understand the legality issues of it. I have made the choice to live without health insurance for the past 8 years. Its just cheaper to pay the doctor out of pocket than to pay a huge health insurance premium, huge deductibles, co-pays, etc. I had emergency throat surgery 2...

    How is this Constitutional?

    I'm not trying to start a right wing or left wing debate here, but I'm just wondering how this is legal? Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage - Yahoo! News

    Question Surging at low throttle

    Anyone?

    Question Surging at low throttle

    It sounds like it might be the IPR then. It only has the stumble when the engine is cold or cool. It runs fine when it is warmed up. Next question, what is the IPR? What does it do? Where is it located? How do I go about replacing it? Thanks

    Question Surging at low throttle

    My truck started surging at low throttle at about the same time I switched to synthetic. I noticed it while sitting in traffic while I was trying to maintain 10-15 mph. The engine has many noticeable hiccups that dont seem to occur with any regularity. The surge does clear up with increased...

    Switched to Synthetic

    ***update*** Well I have slightly over 1,000 miles on the synthetic and I have noticed that my mpg's have increased by .2-.3 and the engine noise still seems to be less than with the regular Rotella. So far, I am very pleased with synthetic.

    lug nuts

    Keep an eye on your studs. There have been horror stories about guys breaking their studs off and the entire wheel and tire departing the truck. I ran aftermarket wheels for a summer but was scared every time I hauled a heavy load. Ford used the hub centric wheels for a reason on these...

    Dishwasher Quit Working

    I have been tinkering on and off with it, but never could get it to work. I took everything apart, cleaned contacts and called everyone in the book. Couldnt get any answers from anyone. Today I put some cleaner under the sink and noticed a plug that was barely stuck in the outlet. Pushed...

    Diesel less than gasoline

    Diesel is cheaper than gasoline around here. Had to post a pic for proof.
