    Recently took delivery of a 2008 F450, taking advantage of zero financing and incentives - traded my 2006 F350 6.0L. Thoroughly impressed with the power and refinement of the new truck, and the turning radius is beyond belief for a large vehicle. With only 1,000 miles on the clock, I'm not...

    2008 Upfitter Switches

    Just purchased a 2008 F-450 and plan on taking advantage of the upfitter switches. Question: I have the wiring information for the 2006 upfitter switches. Is it fair to assume it's a carryover for the 2008 model, or are new colors used ?

    New - Sound - As is well ?

    Noted an interesting sound while driving (radio must be off to hear), but almost sounds the same as the sound when the glow-plugs are heating - right before she kicks-over. Does that same relay that fires the glow-plugs continue cycling during normal operation ? Looking for some diesel...

    Block Heater ?

    I've search high-and-low for signs of a block-heater cable in all the obvious places - no luck. I believe this to be the first Ford I've ever owned without a block heater. Is there a chance that this vehicle has the provision (hardware) for a block-heater but not the cable ? :dunno...
