    Missed a Thief - By That Much

    Had an interesting evening. :eek: A couple of hours ago I was dropping off a video at a local Blockbuster and ended up in the middle of a snatch and run theft. I was just putting my video in the outside return slot when this guy came rushing out the door a few feet from me with a big box...

    Question First time changing oil!!

    Someone a couple of months ago posted a link to this site that has a lot of good info on our engines. I'm still working my way through some of the videos. Check out Part 2 of the Fluid, Filters and Fuel video for insight on differences in the construction of various filters. This guy seems very...

    Question First time changing oil!!

    I believe the FL1995 was just for the 7.3L, the FL2016 for the 6.0L and not sure what the 6.4L uses that Snoxer has.

    Leveling kit

    What truck have you got? On edit, looks like you've got a 2003 F-250. I leveled my '99 F250 with a 3" spring hanger and shackle kit that was relatively inexpensive but you also have to address the trac bar to eliminate the resulting bump steer. I had the 285 REVOs on mine at the time.

    Contitrac TR 18"

    So I guess nobody here wants some used Conti's really cheap? :lmao I took a set off my '05 when I bought it in November. They did ride really smooth and quiet on the drive from CA to CO.

    Block heater - standard or option

    The cord attaches to the heater just above the starter on the passenger side. If no cord you'll be able to feel the connector it screws on to. Just put one on mine last month.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    50 degree weather in Western Colorado this weekend! I was finally able to finish up the install on my 5th wheel rails that I salvaged from my '99. Also wired up a new 7 pin connector in the side of the bed although I was a little hesitant to cut that big 2" hole in the side. :eek: Then, since I...

    '05 Level Lift

    What's everyone using for a front level lift on their '05 F350's? I want to do the 2.5" lift to make it sit better. I'd be interested in hearing the pros and cons of the polyurethane vs aluminum coil spacers that I've been seeing. The polyurethane seem to run from about $150 and higher but I've...

    Oasis report help

    After I bought my '05 a few months ago, I was at Ford getting some parts and I asked the service writer if they could run one for me. He told me that they weren't tied in to any national network where they could see what was done to it at another dealer in another state. Most likely BS :rant...

    Edge Insight help...

    The trans temp with the N/A may be the generic one. If so, look under the Ford-Specific PIDs for another trans temp.

    Edge Insight help...

    To change the backlighting color, go to Menu, Configuration, set LCD Display and it will let you set the % of red, blue and green (and contrast) to get the color you like. Just for reference my Insight is now at software version 2.2.0. I might try my alarms tomorrow! :)

    Edge Insight help...

    I haven't tried setting alarms on mine yet but will probably get to it this weekend. The trans temp you need is under the Ford-specific PIDs, not the generic. If it doesn't show up under the Ford PID's, let me know what version of software shows up and I might be able to help. There was an issue...

    EGR System Questions

    I was doing some research on this myself and found a huge thread on FTE related to EGR that I'm still reading. It started back in 2004 and is still going. Seems to have some really good info. Here are some of the main links. One of the best links is the one on disconnecting the EGR. Enjoy! :D...

    Question transmission tempeture gage install

    Caution! :eek: Pay particular attention to the comment in dboyw's link about "Install the new, shorter #2259 (shown at right of image vs. included & longer #2258) sender into this port. ** The reason for the shorter sender, is that the longer one may bottom out in this port. If you choose to...

    Dipstick!

    While changing my oil this weekend I noticed the plastic is broken off just under the T-handle on the dipstick. I've checked the oil a few times since I got it in early December but apparently didn't notice this. Has anyone else had the same problem with the 6.0L dipstick? Just curious if it's...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    First oil and filter change (for me) on my '05, sure like how easy the filter is to get to! :sweet Put on the bug guard I salvaged from my '99, painted the 5er rails (also from the '99) so they'll look good on top of the new Line-X when I put them in next weekend. And finally installed the EGT...

    Direction involving tuner and gauges...

    You should be able to get the EGT probe from several on-line vendors for $79 and there should be free shipping. :D

    Direction involving tuner and gauges...

    I just bought an Edge Insight before the holidays and got it installed except for the EGT probe which I'll install in the next couple of days. Even though it says 100+ parameters monitored, in reality it can only monitor what a particular truck ('05 F350) can broadcast on the databus. If you're...

    how many miles do you have on your 6.0ltr

    Only had it a few months so far. An oasis report shows the prev. owner made two trips to the dealer for EGR and one for injector o-rings. I loved my 7.3L but I'm really glad I moved up 6 years newer to my 05 6.0L! :D It's got 83K on the odo.
