    What color does this need to be?

    Just below the chrome portion of the bumper, the plastic has faded to a light gray color. Does anyone know what color this normally is from the factory? I thought about painting it the same color as the grill (the dark metallic gray color). Any input would be greatly appreciated. The truck is...

    Where to buy a fuse block?

    I just found a spot where rain was leaking inside my truck and dripping directly onto my GEM module and fuse block. I found my fuse block to contain rust/corrosion inside. A few days ago I took apart the fuse block (one layer at a time) and bead blasted it to clean up all the rust. The rust...

    Question Elecricial bug

    Mr. Slate, On my 2000 F-250 (yours may be different), I just found a spot where rain was leaking inside my truck and dripping directly onto my GEM module and fuse block. When I unplugged the two wire harnesses from the fuse block, both had water in them. I found my fuse block to contain...

    Windshield leak

    I found the windshield leak!! It was on the driver's side, top corner of the windshield. The seal was sticking up just a little bit. As water was poured in the area, we could see water come inside the truck and run down the a-pillar. We got it all sealed up. I didn't find any leaks in the cowl area.

    Windshield leak

    Does anyone have a picture of where their windshield leaks on the 2000 F-250s? I definitely have a leak that is allowing rain to drip into my GEM and fuse block. Drew

    How to remove only a quart of oil?

    Update: I removed the oil pan drain plug and kept it partly covering the hole. This allowed me to control the amount of oil coming out. I filled a measuring cup up to one quart then put the plug back in. This was actually easier than I thought it would be. I did the same thing on my wife's Honda...

    How to remove only a quart of oil?

    I would like remove only a quart of oil in my truck. I have a quart of Lucas Pure Synthetic Oil Stabilizer that I would like to add. I recently changed the oil in the truck so it will be a while before the next oil change and I don't want to wait until then. I don't put many miles on my truck. I...

    long cranke time

    My guess would be the Glow Plug Relay (GPR). Check the voltage drop across the two heavy terminals when the key is turned to the on position. They should not be more than 0.1V or 0.2V different. Also, check the resistance of each glow plug at the valve cover plugs. I believe they should be less...

    oil additive

    Tom350, I just bought my first quart of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer for my PSD. I haven't put it in yet, but I'm anxious to hear what others say about it on here. A neighbor of mine works for International. They use Lucas oil and fuel additives in all their engines. Drew

    Where is the fix for dim overhead console?

    I've seen online where guys can do something to the overhead console and make the display not be dim when the park lights or head lights are on. I know adjusting the thumb wheel makes it dim/bright, but mine is still dim on the full bright setting. Does anyone know what the fix is for rigging...

    DP tuner questions

    I have a DP tuner on my Powerstroke. I have: 1-stock and 2-80hp econo. I called Jody and told him I just wanted the best mileage possible. I installed it about 3 years ago. It is an excellent tuner. My truck shifts quickly, but smoothly (if that makes sense). It doesn't jerk like its tearing up...

    Where to buy battery cables?

    Where is the best place to buy replacement battery cables for my F-250? The terminals on mine are just about wore out from being installed and removed so many times. Thank you. Drew

    Injector advice

    If an injector is reading 10+ ohms, does this just affect power? MPG? I'm assuming it is somewhat functional, just not optimum right? Thanks. Drew

    Injector advice

    I just checked resistance in my glow plugs and my injectors (checked my injector resistance to the center pin on the valve cover plugs). Each of my glow plugs showed 0.9-1.0 ohms. Each of my injectors showed 3.4-3.6 ohms except my passenger side rear injector (Haynes manual says this is the #7...

    Does anyone own a battery load tester?

    I thought about buying a battery load tester. I've seen some as cheap as $50 or so. If you own one, please tell me what kind and if you like it. I would like to find one that I can test my batteries and alternator. Drew

    How many amps to charge?

    Just checked both batteries a few weeks ago. They both checked good. The alternator (including the diodes) and starter checked good as well. Thanks for the input. I will leave the batteries on 10 amp overnight and will probably have the batteries rechecked away. Drew

    How many amps to charge?

    Both of my batteries ran down over night. I have one charger that is 12V and will do 2, 10, and 50 amps. I have both batteries disconnected from the truck. I have the charger hooked to one battery and jumper cables connected the two batteries. My question is: Should I charge them on 2 amps or 10...

    Help Needed Electrical power won't shut off!!

    Well, I found about 5 drops of water on the fuse block plugs when I unplugged them. The GEM module looked clean and dry inside. I couldn't get the fuse block open (even though I released all the plastic tabs). I could pry it open some and it looked rusted and corroded, but just a small amount. I...

    Where to buy a fuse block?

    I got a quote from Ford for a fuse block. They said around $220. Also, I priced the GEM for fun and they said $350-$400.

    Where to buy a fuse block?

    My fuse block looks completely rusted and corroded inside. I haven't fully opened it up yet (scared its going to break it). Where can I get a replacement fuse block? How much? Drew

    Help Needed Electrical power won't shut off!!

    I think this problem is tied in with the dome light problems from another posting of mine. Any time it rains, my truck acts like the key is still turned on. I came out this morning and my blower motor for the A/C was running on low. It was enough to run my batteries down really low. The ignition...

    Question What gives the 6.0L a bad reputation?

    Scott, Thank you for all the great info you provided. I think that your reply will be useful to my Ford diesel owners. I've searched this website for the major 6.0L problems, but I didn't know for sure what the "main" problems were. Again, thank you so much. Drew

    What kind of mileage from 6.0L?

    I'm interested in replacing my 2000 F-250 7.3L in a few years with a lower mileage 6.0L. What kind of mileage does everyone get in their 6.0L? I currently get about 16 mpg in my truck. I have no cat or muffler. Also, I have the 80hp econo DP tuner and a K&N filter. Other than that, the truck is...

    Question What gives the 6.0L a bad reputation?

    What is the problem that gives the 6.0L a bad reputation? I have a 2000 F-250 with the 7.3L with 166,000 miles. In a few years, I would like to replace it with a little bit newer truck with less mileage. I figure a 6.0L would be a great truck, but I've just heard so many bad things about them...
