    A few questions about the new powerstroke?

    If you have not bought the Ford yet, DON'T! Wait for the 2011 Chevy Duramax to hit the dealers and then go get you one. The 6.4 Powerjokes are junk!

    Question Almost an owner of a 08 F350 DRW, other owners pls read

    First, if you have not bought the Ford yet, DON"T! You will be disappointed and will be wasting your money. These are the biggest pieces of crap to ever wear the Ford badge. Mine only has 54000 miles and has been in the shop no less than 30 times. So if you like being without your truck because...

    Why'd they dump it?

    Ford dumped the 6.4 because it is the biggest piece of crap that has ever been under the hood of a Ford! I have an 08 F350 King Ranch with 54000 miles on it and it has been to the shop no less than 30 times! What a disappointment! Ford has driven me to Chevy... I will never buy a Ford product...

    Fuel Filter(s)

    You can do this yourself in less than 30 minutes The prices you listed are what I see here in NC for the filters and for labor. What I found is that if you ask a couple different parts departments, you will eventually find one that will sell you the filters for less. Here is what I buy mine at...

    Best oil for 6.4

    I have 32k on my 08 now and for the past two oil changes I have used Shell Rotella T 5W-40 full synthetic. The truck likes it... Anyone else using synthetic?

    Question Check engine light on again!!!

    Word from dealer Well, the word came in from the dealer, it appears that when the DPF was replaced 5,000 miles ago, they were supposed to reflash the DPF, cam and the tranny to get them all in sync again. Apparently that did not happen, so they did it for me yesterday and told me I was good to...

    best way to improve fuel economy on 6.4L

    Intake install Total time for the install was less than 30 minutes. I ordered my intake from Dieselmanor.com, got it two days later. It really is a simple install.

    best way to improve fuel economy on 6.4L

    What's worked for me I put a S&B cold air intake on mine about 1500 miles ago, my mileage has gone up 1.8MPG. I have 24k miles on mine. I'm getting ready to change my oil as well and I'm going over to full synthetic, I expect mileage to improve slighty from that. My overall average MPG is 16.5...

    King Ranch Leather care recommendations?

    I found mine on the King Ranch website, it sells for around $9 a bottle. It is the only conditioner that is recommended for our King Ranch leather. Hope this helps.

    Anyone running the k&n cold air intake??

    Thanks for all the feedback on the K&N intakes. I have started looking on the Diesel Manor site at the S&B intakes. Looks like the filtration they have down, I should see a slight improvement in fuel economy as well. Any thoughts on this system? Is anyone currently using this brand of intake...

Prior to this my truck was entering REGEN mode about once every 600-700 miles, now it goes into REGEN every 300-400 miles. Bites on the mileage... But,,, I have noticed that I...
