    7.3L vs gas motors

    You seem fixated on the fixing and maintaining the 4X4 system and pulling the trans. How much maintenance is there besides fluid changes? I haven't done that much. Maybe once in a long while, change fluids. I only changed the 4X4 unit because somebody crashed into me and cracked it among other...

    7.3L vs gas motors

    Here is a question for you. Will you be able to even trade or will you have to come out with cash? IF you have to come up with cash, figure it with interest to see how much it will cost as though you financed the deal. Now decide if that extra money will save you at the pump. This is...

    7.3L vs gas motors

    I'm not convinced that it is significant enough to be meaningful in the long term. I agree there is some savings but will that make up for later resale? Somehow I get the feeling that 2WD is cheaper because it is less desirable. That might make it harder to sell in the future. And that is...

    7.3L vs gas motors

    How much mileage do you lose with 4X4 if you only engage it when needed? I have only had to repair my 4X4 once. When some drunk hit me and broke the case. No real problems except take the hubs out once in a while and lube them, change transfer case fluid and front fluid when necessary.

    7.3L vs gas motors

    4X4 isn't just for off road. I haven't gone off road but I do appreciate my 4X4 capability. Just pulled a guy out of the ditch for cash. A few years ago, I got a lap dance from a stripper for pulling her car out although it was a bit damaged from the impact.

    What are you pulling? I felt the 5.4 were underpowered for an more than an F150.

    What to look for.

    Oil? Maybe the glow plugs were going out or no being energized?

    I wouldn't mind. That is the old Jenna Jameson in her prime

    What to look for.

    I suggest you get an independent tech to look it over. By independent, I mean get a dealership tech with the proper scanning tools that knows how to do it. Most important of all, this tech CANNOT have any knowledge of owner of the truck.

    Diesel prices

    This happens every winter. Heating oil goes up in price because of need or perceived need and fuel oil goes up in price.

    I think this is due to the winter coming

    I think my PSD has more than 5 or 6 quarts so it would cost more in volume

    I bought the connector end by looking at the brand name and it came from Sears but was the same part

    Towing

    Banks is basically a fooler because it hooks in line with the ICP sensor and fools the ECM into thinking that it has lower pressure than there is so it cranks up the pressure. A lot of the others like DP-Tuner, Swamps, TW, etc, etc, have a chip that hooks into the J3 port and overrides the ECM...

    IIRC, they recently ran a test of several programmers so I don't know how they came up with the fooler idea.

    How did you figure that out? I know that is the opinion of the guy in the Powerstroke magazine but how did you come on that idea? A lot of the custom programmers have chips that override the program on the PCM. Now, if you are talking about Banks and his resister mod, sure.

    Towing

    I think the DP-Tuner version is nicer. Push button and you are in a different mode. No need to load, reload, etc, etc. I have 2 tow tunes, one for if I am at a higher altitude and it gets too hot (real handy when I had a leak) and one regular tow tune. Both tow tunes have softer shifts than the...

    Time for new batteries?

    I bought a set from Batteries Mart, I think. Made it 3 years. Forget that. Went back to Motorcraft. The only reason I bought them was because it was a Sun and the parts guys at Ford seem to want the weekend off.

    Time for new batteries?

    I think you can buy them at Wal*Mart. Has a can of spray to coat the terminals and 2 felt pads
