    How do you "name" a link?

    O.K. Dumb question time...How do you name a link? Instead of it being "WWW.bghdsbavhb.fds" how do you make it say "Poke Here" or "My pics"? Also, how do you change that line under your forum name? The one that says "member" or "Administrator", ect.? Can I do it or is the name change for...

    Keypad resetting

    If someone changed it, does the default code still work? My dealer told me the only way to get it was from the PCM if it had been changed.

    Where do I find engine codes for a 6.0?

    O.K. I was pissed off when I posted thread the first time, so I'm almost ashamed to pick it up again, but I feel I should give everyone who is interested an "up to date" post. I called the dealership today and they said my truck is done. It only took 8 days including Sunday.:rolleyes: The...

    EPA is no longer our friend. They are now one of "Them"

    I like the reply. Very nicely done. I see your point, but I do have a question on the above statement. I understand that "[There is a]fallacy of assuming that good fuel economy is synonymous with low pollution emissions." But, the EPA has to look at it like this...or do they. Here is my...

    EPA is no longer our friend. They are now one of "Them"

    I have smelled some bad ones but... O.K.I agree, but... I don't think so. We have the technology to produce gas burners (don't know about diesels) that can get upwards of 60 to 80 MPG with out the assistance of elec. motors or hydrogen cells. I know of people who are getting 50 MPG out...

    EPA is no longer our friend. They are now one of "Them"

    What do you mean "no longer our friend"? I never liked them in the first place. Take off all that smog busting crap and the fuel mileage improvement nullifies the need for the smog-cutters.:sweet

    LED conversion of Dash and door switches

    I layed down an apology for hijacking the other thread. Now where were we...So you just paint the under side of your dash after removing the green coloring with fingernail polish remover? And for all the other switches its a matter of changing out the LED's. You mentioned a "hot spot" with the...

    Americas most un-environmentally friendly vehicles

    Hey, I have a Maybach, too. It only cost me $340,000. What a deal on a great car. I especially love the natural wood interior and the wine rack!:roflmao :sweet :roflmao :sweet

    I need a measurement.

    The Ford book says you only have to put 500 miles before towing. I put 650 miles on mine and then towed 12,000 lbs 1000 miles at 75 to 80 mph in two days. :burnit No problem.:sweet

    Turbo repair at dealer turn around time?

    From my experience, Ford likes to just keep replacing expensive broken things instead of actually fixing the design flaw. I wouldn't doubt if the turbos ARE going bad and Ford says..." Keep replacing them, most will be out of warranty in a few years and all this will be behind us.":burnit I...

    lift kits?

    What kind of warranty issues do people have with lift kits? Does it void your powertrain warranty (ie. engine/tranny) or suspension and axles? How about the leveling kit or the little 3" lift mentioned in this thread. If I put a leveling kit and 3" blocks on the rear, am I voided?:dunno

    Dodge cat on ford will it work?

    So you don't have a cat. In your last post you said you did. It's cool the dealer will replace your turbo if you have a cat. If the pipe is the same size put the Dodge converter on there. I think it will be mostly for looks anyway. Get some pipe and modify it to fit if it doesn't work exactly...

    Oil smell in cabin after highway driving--ideas?

    I had this problem, too. Mine seemed to start after I had an oil change. I though maybe it was oil burning off after some spillage. I have had it into the dealer for a injector replacement since, and they never said anything about a leak. Changing out the gasket seemed to alleviate the problem...

    Possible New Truck???????

    Sorry, lost in translation.:sorry If it's got what you want get it. It sounds like a good deal. You'll get a new rig, some more options , and a new warranty. (In my experiece it's a good thing to have on the 6.0.) On the other hand, if you rig runs like a top with no probs., you take the risk...

    Possible New Truck???????

    They can do way better. They aren't selling cars and trucks, so I don't see 10 grand off being unreasonable. Get the X plan deal. There are some guys on here who were offering the pins. Bought my 2005 in May of '05. Sticker 52,900. I paid 41,999 plus tax/title/lisc. Don't let them "tease" you...

    Warranty issue

    Your the Atty! But,(since I like to debate) couldn't it also fall under the "tie in" sales aspect? It would be like them saying they won't honor the warranty because you put a Midas replacement exhaust/muffler/cat on your rig even if it is the stock 3" size. The extra inch doesn't really make it...

    I just called Jasper Engines....

    Hey put a 6.0 and a Torque Shift in that thing.:sweet Here's the links: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4622447510&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4622462684&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    Whats the best airfilter kit?

    Here is a cheap weird intake on ebay. I really don't know what it is, but it is similar in design to the others in my last post and dirt cheap. Check it out at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8048320936&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

    Warranty issue

    One more thing. If you don't have a cat on there now. Put one on and take it elsewhere. If they already have your truck in the computer as being "voided" or the problem has been written up, I don't know what to suggest. I'm sure someone has an old removed stock 6.0 exhaust they'll sell you...

    Warranty issue

    Have a civil talk with the dealer and find out what the reasons are for not covering the turbo. If this is a common or at least a known replacement issue on the '03 trucks, then you should be o.k. Find some info/tech. write ups on the turbo issue and bring it to the dealer as...dare I...
