    bed plate oil leak

    While under my truck this past weekend doing a coolant flush, I noticed oil on the tranny bell housing. Since my powertrain warranty expires this week, I figured that I better get it in to the dealer and have it looked at. Dropped it off this morning and waited by the phone... finally got a call...

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    Howdy everyone - Who all here is using the Edge Insight? I've been wanting to put some gauges in my truck, and I much prefer the look of actual gauges, but the Insight is more cost effective, and it would take me 10 gauges to monitor everything that the Insight can, so I think I'm going to...

    Wiring up air horns

    Howdy everyone - Just got my air horns from UPS and hoping to get started installing them this weekend. For those of you who have them, who wired them into the factory horn system? Where is the stock horn, and where is the best place to tap into it? Thanks!! - Steve

    trailer wiring

    Does anyone know how the stock trailer wiring is set up? From the 7 pin connector, is there a plug somewhere by the back bumper, or is it just wires running up to the fuse box? The reason I ask is because the previous owner of the truck tapped into a bunch of the wires at the 7way to put...

    Fuel filter and air filter - where to get for cheap?

    Where can I pick up a fuel filter and air filter for the best price? I've heard that Motorcraft is the best for the fuel filter, but what about the air filter? Best choice for that? I'm hoping to be able to pick these up local (Austin TX) as opposed to ordering online. Anyone know the...

    trans, coolant, and amsoil bypass filters installed

    I got a little trigger happy with the mouse a couple of weeks ago and ended up with a coolant filter, transmission filter, and Amsoil bypass filter for my '06 F250. Got the last of it installed this afternoon. Check out the pics - Engine bay with new billet filter and filler caps -...

    ignorant Amsoil installation question

    Got all the parts in for my Amsoil bypass install today. Hoping to get it all hooked up this weekend. I do have an ignorant question first though.... when you hook the hoses up to the oil filter cap and oil filler cap, how do you tighten/loosen them? For instance, once it's all hooked up...

    Fuel additives - what are you guys running?

    Howdy - I'm relative new to the world of diesels and have just recently started to do some reading about fuel additives and the benefits that they offer. I figured I'd post up here and see what you guys are running, and why. FYI, I've got a 6.0. Thanks, - Steve

    Amsoil filter location

    Howdy everyone - I've got a 2006 F250 with the 6.0 Diesel motor. I'm getting ready to install the Amsoil bypass filter kit on it, and am wondering where everyone with this setup has installed the filter. I can't hang it off the alternator like other folks because my coolant filter setup is...

    gauge questions 05-07 interior

    What kind of gauges/gauge pods are you guys running in your trucks? I've got an '06 and am thinking of putting EGT, tranny temp, and volt meter gauges in my truck. I don't want to lose the handle by the door, so pillar gauges are out. What kind of gauges are you running, and where are they...

    Fuel filter drain - HFCM valve?

    I remember a post a while back that had a link to a drain valve that could be placed in the HFCM that would make it easier/cleaner to drain. I believe it was similar to the Fumoto valve. I've been searching for a half hour and can't find it now though... am I imagining things? Can someone...

    Tailgate squeak

    I've got a little squeak in the tailgate that is driving me crazy... I can hear it when i've got the back sliding window open. My dad's truck (2006) had the same problem, and the dealer adjusted something on the tailgate while it was under waranty. My truck (same year, 2006) is not under...

    Air Lift helper bags and compressor install

    Howdy everyone - I'm getting ready to install a set of Air Lift bags and wireless compressor to my truck and am wondering who else has already done this. Specifically, I'm looking for advise as to where to mount the compressor. I haven't gotten the compressor yet (slow delivery), so I'm...

    2006 F250 blinker problems

    Howdy - I've had a 2006 F250 for about 6 months now. Last week, I noticed an issue with the right hand blinker... the sound was there and normal, but the light on the dash was not coming on. I took note, but it worked normally the rest of the drive. Today, I noticed it again. Sometimes it...

    6.0 changing fuel filters - any special instructions?

    Getting ready to change the filters on my 2006 6.0. Is there anything special that needs to be done, other than draining the water seperator? Does the system have to be primed or anything?

    Injector flush and other service...

    I've got the truck at the dealer for some waranty work (turbo will most likely be replaced) and they suggested that I get the oil changed, the fuel filters changed, as well as a fuel injector flush. I'm going to have the oil changed by them, but I'm wondering about the filters and the...

    CEL question

    Quick question regarding the CEL and the codes that it throws. My truck threw a P0299 code last week and I had it reset at the local parts house. If I take it to the dealer, will they be able to tell that the code was thrown, or do I need to wait for the CEL to come on again?

    Ignorant tuner question

    Hi everyone - I've been toiling with gas engines for 10 years or so and have a pretty decent understanding of them. I just picked up my first diesel truck though, and am just starting to learn about them. I have a 2006 F250 6.0. My question here is regarding tuners and programmers...

    New (to me) 2006 F250

    Howdy everyone - Just thought I post a message and say hi. This past weekend I picked up my first Ford diesel... a 2006 F250 King Ranch with a scant 37k miles on it. It was too good a deal to pass up, and although I didn't need a big truck right now, I knew I wanted one in the next couple...
