    Question Do they make gauge pod caps or fillers?

    I'm looking to buy an A-Pillar gauge set soon. I might want to add a 4th gauge down the road besides the standard 3. So I've been debating getting a 4 gauge pillar, but I was wondering if they make a cap to plug up the 4th hole until I'm ready to do it? If so, who sells them?

    Question Coolant question on the 7.3L??

    Again, I'm a newbie to diesels and I'm looking at doing a coolant flush on my 7.3L. I'm hearing different things about what coolant/additives to use. I called a couple of local shops and they said you just add 2 bottles of this DCA additive to regular coolant. Does this sound correct? I just...

    Question Who changes the oil in the top of the engine to prolong injector life?

    I've been watching the videos of Bill Hewitt on POWERSTROKEHELP.COM and I came across the one where he talks about changing the oil in the top of the engine to help prolong the life of the injectors. I'm very anal about maintenance. So I want to do this myself. I was wondering who else does...

    Help Needed Need help with a fuel leak on my '02 7.3L!!!!!

    I'm completely new to diesels, and I could use some input with a fuel leak I have on my 2002 7.3L. It is dripping fuel out of a metal hose going into my filter housing in the engine. The line is the one underneath the yellow, manual water separator drain valve. It looks like it is going into...

    Question Do '99-'04 CC Powerstrokes come with a solid or 2 pc drive line?

    I was just curious if the '99 - '04 diesels come with a 2 piece drive line w/ the carrier bearing, or do they come with a solid one piece shaft? I know that my '01 w/ the V10 came with a 2 pc and carrier bearing and caused some issues because I had a small lift on it. I just thought the 1 pc...

    Question What Changes Were Made In Mid Year 99's???

    I read somewhere that there were changes (improvements) made in the middle of the year on the '99 Super Duty diesels. I don't remember if it was on this forum or a different one where I found it. I was just wondering what those changes were again, how do you tell which one you have, and are...

    Question Can I swap my V10 for a diesel??????

    I have a 2001 Super Duty with the V10. The truck is in great condition and has been babied, but I've been debating on switching to a diesel.

    Question How does the 7.3L compare to 6.0L in maintenance/repairs??

    I'm still contemplating picking up a diesel if the right deal comes around. As far as Fords go, I'm limited to either the 7.3L or 6.0L due to $$$. I'm kind of the DIY guy and try to do as much of my own maintenance and repairs as possible, however, I have no experience with diesels. My...

    Question Excursions, Good or Bad???

    During my online diesel truck shopping, I've come across a couple older (2000-2001) Excursions w/ 7.3L that look pretty nice (at least online so far) and at a pretty good price IMO. Besides the obvious negative of not having a bed, is there anything bad about the Excursions? Do they get worse...

    Question Used Diesel Shopping and Have Mileage Question??

    I've been mostly web shopping so far, but I have a question. I've seen a few trucks online (not in person yet), but they have high mileage 170,000 - 215,000 depending on the vehicle. Should I shy away from these trucks and not even waste my time looking at them? Are they just asking for...

    Question New to diesels. What are signs of a problem motor??

    I'll be shopping for a used diesel soon, and would like to know what are some signs of a problem motor and even tranny (things to look for)? For instance, it has been mentioned that the 6.0's have head bolt/gasket problems along with an EGR problem. How would I be able to tell if the truck had...

    Question Salvage Title Questions????

    What exactly constitutes or determines a salvage title? I see a lot of trucks with a salvage title supposedly due to theft. Some of the trucks have very low miles and look in very good condition (already repaired). But how do you really know it was from theft and only minor damage? Is there...

    I'm having a problem with my ABS brake system on my '01 F350 and could use some advice on what it might be.

    Question Anybody have the Skyjacker Z-Link Suspension on your '99-'04 ???

    I'm just curious if anyone out there has the Skyjacker Z-Link suspension on your '99-'04 Super Duty? If so, what do you think about it? Kind of expensive, but gives you the option of having the coilover suspension like the '05 and newer. I'm wondering how smooth the ride is?

    Question Does the '05 and newer suspension ride much softer???

    I'm new to the forum, and as I stated in an earlier post, I'm thinking of trading my 2001 v10 Superduty for a diesel. My '01 does have a small lift on it and some 35's, but it rides like a tank. I was wondering if the new coil over suspensions introduced in '05 ride much softer compared to the...
