    new set of tires for F250

    People will probably laugh at me but the factory Pirellies that came on my 03 are about the best on road tire that I have ever seen. They are unbelievably quite, get great mileage (They still have 75% tread left and have over 25,000 mile on them) and are pretty good on snow and ice. They do...

    Plugged Cat? Slipping Clutch?

    I don't believe so Kleetus. I have been filling up at the same station. Same stuff when mileage was bad as when it was good. Maybe they slipped some in on me but I have not seen anything different on the pumps. Trapper

    Plugged Cat? Slipping Clutch?

    Well, don't know what the deal was but it apparently is gone. Went on a 1300 mile excursion this last weekend and averaged a little under 19 mpg hand calculated. The reason I was asking about the cat was because this muffler guy was telling me that these diesel cats plug up really fast and are...

    Plugged Cat? Slipping Clutch?

    So, my 2003 has been real good to me. Never been in for anything besides the hose replacement and the new belts. Bone stock right now, right down to the tires. It has 52,500 on it. I took a long trip, 3000 miles in a week, pulling a 24 foot utility trailer. Total load with the truck and...

    4.5 V6?

    Very interesting. That seems like it would be a great power source for the 150/expedition line. I wait with my fingers crossed. Thanks for the site. Trapper

    4.5 V6?

    I can't get the search to run for me right now, my computer is sloooow. Anyway, saw a cab over food service truck at school today and it had badging that said powerstroke 4.5 V6. Is this a new engine, possibly for use in 1/2 ton and expedition packages? Wife drives an expy and I hate the 5.4...

    Converting Diesel Engine To Run On BioDiesel?

    The article was talking about 4 or 5 different guys, it was really hard to understand who was who. One guy does car retrofits for older diesels and wvo, one guys makes bioprocessors, one guy works for Sequential Biofuels, one guy owns a gas station that supplies bio. It is all very confusing...

    Converting Diesel Engine To Run On BioDiesel?

    I live about 10 miles from Corvallis and this guy does not make his own, he buys it from Pacific Biodiesel. It really is quite expensive for him because of the limited quantity that he buys and having to have it delivered. Those guys retrofit older diesel engines with new hoses etc so they can...

    Should I or Shouldn't I

    So, I should not. If I have problems with things in the future then yes. Will my ebp be covered under warantee or are they going to tell me that I need to get flashed if it goes bad? Once I run out of engine warantee at 100,000 will I still be able to do the recalls free or will I have to pay...

    Should I or Shouldn't I

    I have a 2003 6.0 manual tranny bone stock. My truck has been flawless (knock on wood) for 42,000 miles. Has not puked coolant, does not smoke, gets around 17 avg fuel economy, no drips, leaks etc. Outside of having to have the lower radiator hose and belts replaced along with a rear pinion...

    Which truck to get - 03 F350 DRW

    I have had zero, knock on wood, problems with my 03. Love it, it has never been flashed nothing. It is a little slow in the morning until it gets warmed up but other than that has been perfect. Trapper

    Which truck to get - 03 F350 DRW

    I think the $31,000 is pretty high. I paid $37,000 for my 03 6.0 crew cab 4 wheel drive srw lariat brand spanking new. Just to give you an idea I owe $20,000 on it still so you have some sort of idea how much money somebody is making off the sale. Hope it helps Trapper

    $0.12 diesel jump?

    Went from $2.49-$2.73 in two days here. I think it has something to do with rebels in Nigeria stealing oil. The govt tried to stop them and they are waging war on the oil industry bombing pipelines and rigs. It has only slowed the production of Shell but you know how the industry is, someone...

    Window tint

    Make sure you check the laws in your state. In the great state of Oregon you get ticketed for having your windows tinted. Brother bought a car in Washington, which has different laws, that the windows were tinted. Officer did not care one bit as he wrote him a $350 ticket. Trapper

    Help with weird occurance

    Well, thought I would give an update. Got the tires switched back to the stockers. Truck looks like a sissy but the wobble and bump is all gone. Left front tire was mush. Could not see any belts on the inside or outside that where showing on any of the tires but the weight of the tires would...

    PLUMMERS Please

    Pretty sure the people that had my house plumbed before we got it used CPVC for both hot and cold, as a matter of fact I am almost positive. Have not been under the house for a while but both pipes are plastic. They used 1/4 in pipe on mine and water preasure sucks. Trapper

    Help with weird occurance

    Thanks for all the responses. I will get the tires changed. I think the belts are giving out in them. I got 30,000 out of a used set of 315/16 BFGs for $250 so I think I have got my moneys worth out of them. I will look into switching the oil. The only reason I have been using Penzoil is...

    Pinion Seal

    I am not going to be a whole lot of help but maybe a little. Mine was leaking in my F350 but it was under warrenty. The mechanic that fixed it said that unless you are real carefull putting the gasket in it can get pinched and cut pretty easy and then you have to do it all over again. I have...

    Help with weird occurance

    The Penzzoil is Diesel rated and is all that I have ever used, never had a problem with it before. I will try getting new tires and checking out the ball joints. What should i look for in the ball joints. Any idea on the computer stuff? Thanks Trapper
