    95 F250 hd transmission to transfer case seal-

    Hey guys, been a while since I have been on here. I just dont have pickup problems anymore since I got rid of my 6.0 and bought a 6.7. My spray pickup (95 F250 hd) has been leaking between the transmission and the transfer case since I got it, and I might actually do something about it this...

    Said goodbye to the '05 today...

    Got the '05 F250 sold today, and welcomed a new member of the family. A jetski of all things LOL. Thought the ski might be fun, got cash plus the ski. Didn't quite get the dollar amount I was asking but it was close enough and the truck went to a guy who seemed to appreciate what it was. Now we...

    Sync usb losing power?

    Usb works fine if I connect the phone/ipod while the truck is running, but if I have the phone/ipod connected already when I start the truck, I cant get power until I turn off the truck and restart it with the phone/ipod disconnected. I am not sure if this is a built in overload type feature or...

    Just got home with the new truck.

    Just got home with the new truck. I love it so far. A quick review: Ford really got this engine right. It has tons of power, but is very smooth. Where with the 6.0 you could step on it, count to 5, then get your neck snapped, the 6.7 has almost instant power, and is very predictable. Tranny...

    Pulled the trigger on new truck!

    Just put a deposit on a 2012 f250 lariat crew cab w/ diesel, pretty loaded up, 20's etc... I didn't think I would buy another diesel, but the end of year rebates are INSANE right now! The diesel was less than a very similar gas! Plus I had a $2500 certificate for owning a ford truck before. The...

    Bad Injector..... Again

    I had some problems cold starting my truck yesterday. It acted like it was almost hydrolocked on one cylinder as it went around, but It did start. I drove it 340 miles today, and was about 10 miles from home when I got that "wheel out of balance feeling" at highway speed in overdrive. When I got...

    Help Needed 2012 cloth seats still as bad as they used to be?

    I have been looking at new trucks lately, the 6.0 is slowly going to bleed me dry I am afraid. Question is about the new interiors- is the cloth as cheap as it has been in the past, specifically like my dad's 2004 250 xlt? I really like the leather in my lariat but for the kind of money these...

    steamy tailpipe.

    The truck has seaped coolant at the cap for a long time, even after changing the cap, but not too much. this weekend I noticed when I started it up I I had steam coming out the tailpipe. smelled like antifreeze, but once it warmed up it went away. coolant level was good. right away I suspected...

    rollin on dubs!

    Just bought a set of 08 factory 20's and wheels on craigslist, not too bad a deal, 20's and almost new tires for the same price as 17" TIRES! I also bought all the stuff to put it back to stock height, because I hate the way it rides with the lift kit, as well as some oem nerf bars. Thinking...

    wheel offset

    real fast I just need to know what the actual difference is in wheel offset from a 99-04 to an 05-07. I am looking at some 20's and they are off of an 02. I wouldn't want them to stick out past the fenders too much, or be too far tucked in. Thanks guys Krist

    Steering box gear mesh

    I am sitting in my shop at work, with absolutely nothing to do. I think I want to adjust the gear mesh on my steering box. I understand the process, but does anyone know the best way to attack it? Take the airbox out? Fender liner out? Thanks

    This guy is REALLY ready for the fishing opener.

    I know, probably a dealer transfer or something, but I thought it was pretty cool to see an old f150 pulling a fifth wheel with a boat and trailer on top of it, as well as a boat and trailer in tow behind it.:D

    Ford stock is looking damn good!

    I am investing in ford stock! They are the only one of the big 3 that has not needed tarp funds, settled with their unions, and has a halfway decent plan to get out of this mess. Their liabilities are comparatively low, and they have a decent amout of capital. Selling for 2.80 right now, has a...

    Bubbling Degas Tank?

    So, last night I made a 120mi round trip to my grandpa's 91st birthday. On the way there and back, I kept hearing a tone sound when I was under acceleration and for just a second after I let off the throttle. It sounded like the teakettle noise discussed by rgdillon. I thought this was a little...

    Amsoil Bypass installation

    Well... I just finished installing an amsoil bypass kit. Everything went great, I bought the new billet filter cap that is tapped for the pressure side, and the new billet fill cap for the return side. Those saved me a ton of time, and they look pretty sweet. For the filter mount I fabbed an...
