    Question Which Chip

    X2 with all these guys. I went with glowshift gauges since I was on a budget. A lot of guys don't like them because they're cheap, but I haven't had any issues with them performing. One of the led's went out, but they replaced the gauge no problem. I figured I could replace them with autometers...

    Tire and Wheel questions on an 00 Excursion

    Yeah, go with a wheel that sits out a bit farther. A buddy of mine is clearing 35s on a stock suspension excursion. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk

    Tire and Wheel questions on an 00 Excursion

    It's the width as well. A stock is 265 wide and his are 295. Even a 285 is close. Stock back spacing is 4.25 in, if you go with an aftermarket wheel with a 5.25 inch back spacing you won't rub on the leaf spring. I would consult a tire/wheel shop just in case though.

    Wrecked my 2000 F350 and need to sell

    Thanks for the link! I've found a few at the local scrap yards but they want almost as much as a new one ha ha. All I need is the trim piece by the door, the mirror itself is fine. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk

    Painted up my wheels!

    All the guys on the other forum I frequent use krylon, but the paint I used is an epoxy base paint. I did a test with it before I used it. On steel it was fingernail scratch resistant in 10 mins so it's some pretty stout stuff. I got it at Oriellys, but I'm sure you can get it anywhere that...

    Painted up my wheels!

    I love how they turned out, the wheel and tire packages I find on craigslist are at prices that can't be beat ha ha. But since I couldn't find any this time around I opted for new tires since I need then now so I'm getting those the end of the month sometime. I did this as a temporary fix but...

    Tires...

    I had the nitto terra graps on my 03 f150 screw in a 285 75 17 and they were the best tires I have ever owned. I had 35 inch Toyo at's on my lifted 03 scab 150 I and they were good, but the nitto tgs were as good, if not better and far cheaper. I drove the family from here (washington) down the...

    Painted up my wheels!

    So my aluminum wheels weren't kept up too well when i got my truck, and I didn't do much to help them along the last few months. I was in the market for a wheel/tire combo on craigslist but couldn't find much for my year. So I opted to paint them and get new tires here in a month or so. I...

    Question Alvarorgs

    I hear the 6.4 is having some issues. I don't know what specifically, but I've talked to a few guys who bought them and traded them for 2011's with the 6.7 as soon as they came out. Said they had too many problems. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk

    pyrometer

    I guess inaccurate is the wrong word ha ha. But I am reading a cooler temp than pre turbo, should I be monitoring the pre turbo temps instead? My temp doesnt go over 700 as it is. I don't want it misread while I'm running temps closer to 1200 without me knowing. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk

    pyrometer

    I drilled mine after the turbo according the instructions that came with my gauges. Here's the video I used. It's from glowshift, even if you don't have their gauges the install on the pyrometer is basically the same Will there be an inaccurate reading if it's drilled afterthe turbo...

    Battery Drainage?

    Could be a shot in the dark. Do you have keyless entry? If so how's the battery on your key fob? If the key fob battery is almost dead it will send a weak signal and "confuse" the receiver and the relay will drain the battery over night. Found that out the hard way ha ha. I had my batteries...

    Power mirrors are dead

    x2 on the switch I just replaced mine. Picked it up and a junk yard while i was looking for some other parts. 5 bucks is worth the risk of it goin bad soon I think. At least i know that's what the problem was. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk

    Purchasing High Mileage Super Duty

    I know there are many diesels on here with well over 200k. But i think a lot of them have been purchased at lower mileage and rolled up that high. At 190k most ofthe 6.0 problems have probably been cured. But I've found with buying used cars you can do all the homework, scans, and inspections...

    new truck new member. mileage question?

    That will start all over when you tune it ha ha. I went with the dp tuner on my 7.3. The guys on this forum were right, once you drive a custom tuned truck, you will never want to drive anything else ha ha. I hear good things about sct. Sent from my iThingy using Tapatalk

    new truck new member. mileage question?

    13 is good. 11 is normal. Since you have the intake and exhaust already, get some gauges (EGT, trans temp and boost) and a tuner. 600-800 dollar investment dependin on the gauges and tuner you get. Improved my mileage by a good 20 to 25% if I'm nice to the gas pedal Sent from my iThingy using...

    Question 37x12.5 tires???

    Yeah, I don't want it to rub the leaf, but at the same I don't want them to stick out too far. I have aftermarket flares on it already and I like the stance of my truck. I'm also worried about turning a 37 with stock gears. I plan on re gearing eventually but my plan was to do it before tires...

    Question 37x12.5 tires???

    I am running a 3 inch leveling kit and I am looking at wheel and tire packages on craigslist. There are hardly any 35s that are a good deal, but there are several wheel and tire packages with 37x12.5 wheels and tires. I know it might be a long shot, but is anyone running 37s with a 3 inch level...

    They're great! Nice and quiet. It's a little tough to tell because my rears are slightly warped, but still have some life in them. I plan to ebc's in the rear aswell. But for 70 more than ford motorcraft you cant go wrong. But so far I am very satisfied and I hope they stand up to the 100k mile...
