    Super Duty Less

    I have sold my F-350 King Ranch Dually and 5th wheel. Bought something just a bit bigger............... I have a smaller truck now which is hard to get used to. Specifically a Ford Ranger 4X4 automatic which goes where it's told!

    General Ameritrac

    The tires are General Ameritrac TR LT 235/85R16 Load Range E. I noticed something unusual on the outside of both rear outside tires. It looks like you peeled a thread out of the sidewall area, about just outside and above the white lettering. This groove runs all the way around the tire...

    Is this Turbo Surge?

    Three hours into towing my 14,000 trailer, I felt the truck jerk a couple of times. When it happened the 3rd and 4th time, I noticed on my Turbo Boost gauge it sweep from 15 lbs to 35 lbs very quickly. There was not noticeable power decrease because it happened that quickly. It did it a...

    Anyone Got Instructions To Remove/Replace Steering Wheel

    I just got a visit from FedEx with my new Parchment leather and Oxford Burl inlay steering wheel. I need instructions for how to take off the old one - without getting a face full of airbag. Anyone want to walk me through the procedure??

    Do You Diesel Guys Test W/Blackstone?

    I just had the second one done on my 04. The first test at 3,000 (give or take a few) showed >4 percent fuel in the oil. After running it hard towing I just had it tested again at 18,000 miles. Yeah I know! I need to put more miles on her - but I do at least have about 10,000 towing on her...

    I'm Really On The Fence With This 06E17

    The truck runs fine the way it is, even though I had the EGR valve replaced late last year. I don't want to jeopardize towing from the way it is now - for possibly worse performance with the flash. On the other hand, I know the EGR will foul eventually again - then what? What do you...

    I Hid My I-Pod and now use a Remote

    About six months ago I hard wired my I-Pod to the truck 6-CD radio and rear seat radio controls. It was a pain to either have to cover the I-Pod which used a Belkin cup holder, or have to disconnect it and hide it. Yesterday I had an idea. Went to Home Depot and bought a 1" wide piece of...

    Rear Radio Controls/Power Port Instructions - Volunteer To Proof-Read? Anyone??

    Hey everybody! I have finally finished the installation and part instructions for the Rear Radio Controls (center console) and Captain's Chairs only - for the F-250 and F-350. Anyone interested in doing some proof reading for me? I took my truck apart to make sure the wiring connections...

    Excursion Overhead Console

    Any of you Ex guys/galls got a picture of your overhead display console. I think I may have found an overlay that will match my dash kit. I just want to make sure it's the same design as the 04 F-350 Thanks.

    It Figures!

    I swear! Oregon TV and radio weathermen MUST have a prerequisite that they graduate from Meteorologist School LAST IN THEIR CLASS! Weather said it was supposed to be nice - and no rain Wed/Thurs. So on my days off, I decide to wash, then clay bar, wash and Zaino the snot out of the truck (3...

    I POD Mod With Rear Radio Controls

    Previously I installed parts from an Excursion to add cup holders and rear radio controls to the center console of my King Ranch Crew Cab. Today I installed a P.I.E. - Aux adapter that runs my I Pod through the stock 04 6CD stereo. As a bonus, I was able to plug my rear radio control wires...
