    Question Center Console

    Thanks for the picture. I may give this a try. My truck is an XLT so I should not have to do anything but take out the current jumpseat and put this one in its place. I received an e-mail from a guy that said he never bothered to bolt his replacement (console not a jumpseat) in and it rode...

    Question Center Console

    I am considering it since there are several that are priced reasonably well. I would actually like to get rid of the jumpseat and replace it with just a console. I want to make sure the console is tall enough to rest my arm on while I am driving.

    Question Center Console

    Thanks for the offer on the King Ranch console. Unfortunately my truck has a gray interior. I have found some aftermarket consoles on ebay that claim to fit and look really sharp. The price is reasonable so I may give that a try.

    2005 Heater Problem

    I think DaveBen is probably right. It sounds like you heater core may be stopped up. I had a similar problem with my truck a year ago and wound up flushing the coolant system. I flushed a lot of "dirt" from the system and after replacing the coolant and distilled water the heater worked like...

    Question Center Console

    My center console, on my 2004 F350, is in need of repair (person that owned it before me used it to pull himself into the truck instead of getting steps). Are there any aftermarket consoles that would fit in place of this one? This console is the kind that will fold up into a seat. I have...

    Anyone use Biodiesel?

    My apologies. I have a diesel tank and would be willing to purchase ~250 gallons of biodiesel at a time if anyone knows of someone in SE OK or NE TX that can deliver. I live on a 600 acre ranch and can use it in several trucks.

    mix conventional tranny fluid with synthetic?

    I have a good friend that helped formulate the synthetic fluids that are being used in several of Ford's transmissions and she advised against mixing the various fluids. Mixing fluids can drastically change the viscosities. This, in turn, can affect the way the components, of the transmission...

    Anyone use Biodiesel?

    I think getting hung up on semantics is a waste of time.

    Anyone use Biodiesel?

    I would run biodiesel more if I could get it. I have considered making my own setup but I work off and when I am home it seems like I run and run until it is time to leave again. The few times I have been able to obtain biodiesel my truck has run smoother and got better gas mileage than any...

    Aero Turbine???

    I talked to a muffler shop about changing my 6.0L's exhaust and he suggested removing the muffler and adding a unit he called the Aero Turbine. He said he had installed one in his brother-in-law's Dodge and it increased the mileage and lowered EGTs. The cost is significantly cheaper than whole...

    Slow Fuel Gauge Response

    I was curious if anyone else had this problem: my fuel gauge is slow to come up to full after I fill up with diesel. It does not occur each time I fill the tank, only occasionally. I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone had some ideas that might cause this.

    Scared of 6.o !!!!

    I have had my '04 for two years now and have had no more problems with it than any other vehicle I have had. Which have been all gasoline engines, by the way. Everybody that has driven my truck loves it also. I have not made any performance mods to it. X2 on the maintenance! There are...

    Oil for 2006 6.0

    I used the Rotella 15W40 for a while and then switched to Mobil 1 15W40. Never had a problem while using the Rotella I just prefer the synthetic. The engine seemed to run a little quieter once the switch to synthetic was made.

    Coolant System Flush

    I took off the fill bottle and flushed the truck, while it was running, though the fill hose. I cleaned the fill bottle and put it back together. I then drove the truck around, with the heat on, and let the thermostat open. I came back and drained/flushed everything again. Once everything...

    Recent '94 Purchase

    My father-in-law recently purchased a used U-Haul truck. It has the 7.3L in it. I was wondering what problems, if any, we should be expect. I have not driven the truck yet but he says it run well. Any "heads up" you guys can give will be appreciated.

    Coolant System Flush

    Just recently flushed my coolant system. Could not believe how nasty the stuff was I flushed out of it. Took me a while to get it all done but the system is filled with distilled water and coolant now. I am going to install a coolant filter pretty quickly.

    Which Tire?

    I have had very good luck with Dayton Timberline A/T. I had a set in the past and just recently put a set on my F350 SRW and they have a really smooth ride. These particular ones are 10 ply (do not remember the load rating). I had them mounted and balanced for ~$700. I have also had a set...

    looky here

    I change miine back in the summer and they looked just like that. It was the first time I had changed them since I owned the truck (~10000 miles). I had been having some problems when I changed them but since then it has run like a champ!

    Mobil 1 5w/40 Users.....

    I am using the Mobil 1 15W50 for the first time in my F350. So far no issues. I use full synthetics (Mobil 1 10W30) in my wife and daughter's gas trucks and so far they both have over 220000 miles with no issues. I have never had the oil tested though...
