    4x4 hubs not disengaging

    Morning Ladies & Gents, My front end has recently stopped disengaging from 4 high. When I use the switch on the dash, it goes in to 4 wheel drive. When I switch it off, it doesn't disengage. This recently happened, and I didn't notice it until about 20km of travel on the freeway at about...

    Having a problem

    mine did the same thing about 200km over the full warranty. I took it to my local dealer and they scanned it. It was the EGR valve. The service manager honoured the warranty and replaced it. Cheers

    Question oil on boost tubes

    Thanks Big Joe, I did actually notice smoke when I was stopped at a red light the other day. It looked to me like unburnt fuel (black) but it might have been a little blue. My fuel economy has dropped off a little bit as well.

    Question oil on boost tubes

    Why do i have oil on my boost tubes? When I was changing my air filter today (could they make it any harder to get at??) I noticed a small puddle of oil on the engine side of the filter housing. I went to my Ford dealer, and he told me that unless the truck throws a code, or has...

    Question Smoke @ Idle

    When stopped at a light today I noticed smoke. It looked like normal diesel smoke, just that my truck has never smoked. I had the EGR valve replaced about 5000km ago. Any thoughts on what is causing it? and can it be fixed relatively cheaply? I would assume that it is from unburnt fuel...

    Deep Cycle Batteries

    Well, Im sure this has been asked a million times, but what are your reccomendations for replacement batteries. I have been talked out of Optima's due to warranty up here in canada, and I heard that the vibration of the diesel is not good for them. I do a lot of work on my laptop running off...

    dash vent on passenger side

    Has anyone removed this vent? The little plastic bit that controls movement of the vent has fallen off on the inside. I tried lightly prying it out, but began to mark the dash. Does anyone know how to take this one out? Do I have to unbolt this side of the dash? What about the air bag...

    Alternator Toast

    The underdrive pulley for idling loads is a good one. I do idle a little more than usual, because I work out of my truck, and in the cold. According to the Ford diagnostic my alternator does not output in idle situations. They are not going to warranty it, so I will be putting this together...

    Alternator Toast

    I have just been informed by my mechanic that my alternator has packed it in. My truck has 64000 km on it. Seems a little early to me. Has anyone else had one go this early? Of course batteries are now toast. Those need to be replaced also. Has anyone added the second alternator, and...

    Factory Tow Command wiring diagram

    BIG TEX CRAP WIRING Thanks hal, It turns out my dealer is going to warranty the wiring on my trailer. I can't believe Big Tex would actually sell that junk. The trailer is very beefy, then they install some crappy small guage wiring. It also had about 4 or 5 butt connectors within 6...

    BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM Tires

    I just bought the Toyo Open Country MT. Very happy with them, a little louder than stock but they are supposed to have excellent tread life. They have awesome traction in the snotty stuff. I have a friend who got 80,000 km out of them.
