    Fd-4604?? Fd-4609??

    Ok thanks!! When I change the filter under the chassis, do I need to remove the fuel lines from the filter housing? Seems like they need to come off to access the filter. Any special instructions I need to know about?? Thanks! David

    trying to find fuel filters-- WHERE??

    Besides Ford, where can I find the fuel filters for the 6.4L Powerstroke (FD-4609)? Or, is there a Ford parts place online that offers discounted pricing? Thanks David

    Fd-4604?? Fd-4609??

    My owners manual for my 2008 Powerstroke says to use FD-4604 fuel filters. But online sellers show FD4609 as the proper fuel filter. What's the deal?? All the online sources I use show the 4604 as the proper filter for the 6.0 powerstroke.

    fuel filter change

    I'm changing the fuel filters next week. The one under the hood looks easy, but I'm not sure about the one under the truck. Is there a good write-up on the procedure (for the 6.4L)?? I can't find one. Not sure of what exactly is needed to do. Is it simply a matter of removing the old and...

    2008 6.4 liter mileage update

    Another update. I made a 3600 mile trip to California with a 1000 pound load. I got about 15.3 mpg with the load throughout the first half of the trip. I drove about 63 mph the whole way. On the way back (empty) I got 17.5 mpg. Driving the same speed. On a 400 mile leg in west Texas (from...

    need some help on upgrading my stock mirrors

    Ooops. I have an 08 350. Like I said I do have electric mirrors, but not the towing mirrors. If I buy the upgraded mirrors, I'm not sure of the proper part numbers. Can I intall the all electric mirrors and be able to extend them electrically? Fold them electrically? Or would I need to...

    need some help on upgrading my stock mirrors

    My other option is to remove the mirrors and simply bolt on the big "trucker" style mirrors commonly seen on the commercial vehicles. Anyone know of a place I can get these, let me know too.

    need some help on upgrading my stock mirrors

    My F350 came without the upgraded mirrors. I have the plain door mirrors. (with electric mirror control) I want to get the upgraded towing mirrors. When I went to the dealer they had many variations it was confusing. Which one should I get? Does anyone know the different part...

    6.4L computer glitch?

    It's been a week and the problem hasn't happened again. I'm not too worried about it. I didn't get a check engine light. Do these trucks have one?? I see the check engine when I start the truck, so I assume there is one.

    6.4L computer glitch?

    Yesterday I started up the truck (cold start) and it ran like crap. It sounded like it was running on half the cylinders. I tried to get going in it, but it wouldn't even accelerate without stumbling and nearly cutting out. I stopped the truck, restarted the engine, and everything was fine...

    Wide Open Throttle (WOT) problem

    over the past couple of days, I can't recreate the problem. Might have been something in the fuel.. Thanks!

    after 10K miles

    I don't really tow, but rather haul stuff on the flatbed. It sounds no different to me. David

    Wide Open Throttle (WOT) problem

    This has happened a few times and I'm not sure if I should take the truck in or wait to see if the problem clears up: When on the highway and doing about 40 to 50 mph I have floored the accelerator forcing the tranny to downshift and accelerate. At a certain point it feels like the...

    after 10K miles

    So far, the 6.4 has logged a bit over 10K miles since I bought it in August. In the past three weeks I put about 5000 miles on the truck (hotshot work). I've been getting better and better mileage. On most trips with a light load on the flatbed I can easily get 17 to 18 mpg. I usually...

    and keep in mind this is a dually, quadcab, 4.10 lsd, 6.4l automatic.

    making very good mpg

    No it wasn't hand calculated- I've found the difference in the two to be very minimal- enough so that I can trust the readout to within 3 or 4 tenths. I just turned over 5000 miles yesterday, so I guess the engine has more breaking in to do. Here's another thing I noticed. If you drive 70mph...

    making very good mpg

    Did about 330 miles today in the work truck (F350 6.4PS). I was able to avg 16mpg total. On the way home I was getting nearly 21mpg driving 58 to 60 mph. Not bad! David

    Spare tire!

    thanks, for the rear duallys, should there be a long extension to reach into the wheels? Seems like there socket drive setup you suggest may need the extension.

    Spare tire!

    BTW- I have the bottle jack, 12V air pump, plug kit, and block of wood to sit the jack on. What tool should I get to remove the lugs from the rear dually? Seems too deep for a 4-way lug wrench. thanks

    Spare tire!

    Hey, I need to get a spare tire quick. When I bought the truck it didn't have the spare tire. It was ordered without the bed and spare tire. I have the dually setup ( the base steel wheels) so where can I find something? I was thinking tire rack for a tire, but where can I get the wheel...

    Emergency tool kit

    I was at the pawn through and sifted through a large bin of mixed sockets and was able to put together a complete set of SAE and metric sockets (All Craftsman). I also got a SAE and metric set of Stanley combination wrenches for 20.00. I'm heading back tomorrow to try to find some more stuff...

    2008 6.4 liter mileage update

    Here's an update- I made an 1100 trip to Virginia to deliver a 2200 pound shipment. I got about 13.8 mpg (calculated) on the way up. I drove about 63 maximum and under 55 at times when the sped limit dropped. All interstate except for about 90 miles. On the way back (empty) I drove the same...
