    Intake???

    Leave the lid off the filter....you'll be pleased with the sound. Yes, you'll be sucking in some "warmer" engine air when you're not driving, but the sound is pleasant to the ears...:sweet

    Improved mileaged?

    I experienced an improvement in the fuel economy on my 2006 6.0L after approx. 15,000 miles where it improved from 15.5 mpg to 18.5 mpg very consistent on the highway. I kept the truck through 50,000 miles and didn't see an improvement any further. I'm hoping the 6.4L will react the same...

    Low whine at 40 mph????

    Need more info.... Can you determine where it's coming from (ahead, behind, beside, above, below) ? Is it resonating through the entire vehicle ? Can you always make it come-n-go at 40mph by coming on/off the throttle ?

    Block Heater???

    I typically plug in 35F and below. Short drive to work for me where I won't start getting warm cabin air until I'm 1/2 way there if I don't use it. Program for 2-3 hours before you need to leave. Much smoother start on the engine and helps oil get to the hard-to-reach area of the engine...

    New truck and your opinions and sugestions

    I think the "Trailer Prep Package" which includes the 7-pin wiring, the Tow Command, the Telescoping mirrors, etc...., is what this gentlemen was referencing.

    New truck and your opinions and sugestions

    I think you're correct; only the 4.30 is listed as the Tow Boss, which isn't available in the SRW version.

    New truck and your opinions and sugestions

    A few fella's have already hit some key points. The other things I like about the 2008 over my past 2006: 1. PTC heater - cold in Michigan and kicks heat immediately. Set in auto, remote start and you'll be happy. 2. Trailer tow mirrors 3. Audiophile system (impresses everyone who has...

    Intake???

    Gotta wonder if removing cold air intake (aka: snow collector on Northern trucks), and routing directly to the side vent wouldn't net a helluva lot of intake whistle ? :sweet Who's gonna try it ?:stir

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Ran a powerpoint to the backseat. No longer have to route a cable over my wife to power the kids 12volt power needs (DVD, Computer, etc...). It was warm in Michigan today (58f) a far cry from the (4f) last week - balmy ;)

    New to the site!

    https://www.fleet.ford.com/TRUCKBBAS/non-html/Q117.pdf For 2008 there has a change to the wiring colors. Open this PDF file and mid-way through you'll find the colors for the 2008. Good Luck. My current uses: 1. Air Horns 2. On Board Air Compressor 3. High Idle 4. Remove Start...

    note 6.4 snow in air cleaner

    I've created a write-up with pictures, wire colors, etc... The file is 3Mb and won't load to the forum. I've contracted Crumm to see what he can do to add as a DIY sticky. PM me your email.

    Another great use for upfitter switches

    You will need to find a power source (12volt) that is HOT only when the remote start is on (no key required). You can probably find this somewhere in the fuse panel. The risk of 12 volt (all the time) is going to fry or potentially burn something. Once you find this source you can tie into...

    Another great use for upfitter switches

    Another use for the Upfitter Switches.... Remote Start + Upfitter Switches + Heated Seats = Toasty ;tu Pissed that Ford took away the feature to leave the heated seats in the "on" position to warm up during cold Michigan mornings (my 2006 had it), I took it upon myself to trace the wires...

    note 6.4 snow in air cleaner

    A piece of information I found... Snow packing of air filter/air induction: If snow obstructs the air induction/air filter on the 2008 F-SuperDuty, there is a winter grill cover available to correct this problem. The cover is a customer purchase item, and must be installed as per the...

    Wiring Fault on Trailer --no trailer attached

    Something I found.... Message center displaying "Wiring Fault On Trailer": This may occur due to water intrusion/corrosion in the trailer connector socket or the connector behind the socket. If corrosion is present, replace the socket and harness and lube with silicone dielectric grease. If...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    Did you find it improved over time ? My prior 6.0L made a nice improvement after 15,000 miles.
