    Sad, Sad Day......

    Well fellas....After two great years with "Ol Faithful #2, it's time to get rid of this monster. After the the wife took all of my money(literally) and filed for divorce, I have no choice but to trade her in for something I can afford. I hate to let her go, but it looks like I have no other...

    Tuffcountry lift

    I hear that the Donahoe lift kits are the one's preferred for the SuperDuty's. The dealership back home uses those lift kits on the "Regency Conversion". Looking to put one on in my truck once the cash starts flowing in. Looked around, and basically everyone told me that Donahoe is the way to go.

    New Fuel

    Good point there, Roy. Being that this is the only vehicle I use, it would be pointless to have somebody help me to drop off the truck at the dealership and find other forms of transportation. I guess I'll just have to keep my eye on the 'ol gas gauge and see how much I can really fill up...

    New Fuel

    Dang, it looks like I might have to make an appoinment to the dealer to check my truck out. I have been getting some crappy mileage from my truck. Aren't diesel's supposed to get good mileage. AND, I don't even haul anything. I use my trucfk as a daily driver. I have read on some posts that...

    New Fuel

    So, should I think about trading in the truck for a Ford P.O.S? Just kidding guys. I guess I will have to make an appointment to check to see if there is a leak somewhere or maybe I'm just running a little rich, which in diesel terminology is bad, right? Anyways, I'll just have to keep a...

    New Fuel

    Most of my miles are highway miles. 50 miles a day round trip to work and back. I'm not real heavy on the pedal, though once in a while I like to put the hammer down to get in and out of traffic. I'm using diesel #2 over here and once in a while I put in a half-bottle of stanadyne(treats 30...

    New Fuel

    So how many miles to you all get on a full tank? I really don't calculate how many mpg I get. Not really sure how to do that, yet. I just go on how many miles I get on a full tank. I usually get around between 250 and 300 miles for a 29 gallon tank. Does that sound about right, or would I...

    New Air intake elbow for 6.0

    So, would the banks high-ram intake accept the factory boost tubes, or would you need to buy the whole package. (intercooler w/high ram intake)

    Oil -- Which one to use???

    I used Delo on my first oil change. After that, I switched over to Rotella T Synthetic. It's readily available at Wal-Mart. Another reason why I switched over. Seems to hold up pretty good. It also comes in 15w-40. As far as the diesel fuel additive, I like to use Stanadyne. Found it on...

    Oil Dipstick Broke

    I had the same thing happen to my dipstick. The handle part just came off. Had to pull the rest of it out with a pair of pliers. I thought maybe it was due to all that heat building up inside of the engine compartment or maybe they just don't make them like they used to. Anyways, took it to...

    Extreme frt. end shimmy TSB

    So is there a TSB on the front end shimmy? If so, what is the name or recall # of it? That way I can get it done and not worry about driving over any potholes. Besides, I thought that was one of the reasons in buying a 4WD truck, so you can basically drive over anything.

    I JUST KILLED MY TRANNY!!!!

    Sorry to hear about the news there, Bama. Of what I have read in these posts is that you put the truck in 4WD on pavement. Doesn't that mess up the driveline? At least that is what the manual says. I thought doing that was a no-no. And on the drag strip? Dang!!! Somebody needs to explain...

    Da Boss and Fluid Change

    Mmmm...It's been a while since I've had some Amber Bock. Now that is some pretty smooth drinkin' dark beer. Ziegen is pretty good too. Almost tastes like Shiner, but not as stout. Think I'll try some this coming weekend.:)

    Extreme frt. end shimmy TSB

    You know, I've been having that same problem with my truck. I figured it was due to the new suspension when the '05's came out. Steering is kinda sensitive. Corners very well though. Kinda caught my attention while going over a bump in the road and not having my hands on the steering wheel...

    Replacement Caps....

    Actually, I change them every 10,000 miles or whatever the manual requires. I guess I must have got my numbers wrong. Like I said, I'm about due on another fuel filter change and I needed a new cap. I have put a lot miles on my truck since my last filer change.

    Low Rumbling Noise/Vaccuum Leak ?

    That's exactly the way it sounds. It is more muffled inside the cab. I'm thinking maybe it's just the sound of the air passing through the intercooler or something like that. Just wanted to see if this was a problem that needed to be addressed or if that is just the way these engines are...

    Low Rumbling Noise/Vaccuum Leak ?

    Thanks for the response there Red. Actually, there aren't any thumps or any kind of noise when I turn on my heater. To me, my a/c system seems to be running fine. The 4WD engages/disengages like it's supposed to. The weather down here is wonderful. Between high 70's to the low 80's. Could...

    Low Rumbling Noise/Vaccuum Leak ?

    I was wondering if any of you fellas could help with this question or maybe I'm just being paranoid. Lately I have been hearing a low rumbling noise from inside the cab on the driver's side. I opened the hood and checked around and the noise seems to be coming from around the intercooler area...

    Replacement Caps....

    Doesn't Lisle make those kind of sockets? I believe they sell them at Advance Auto Parts. Would those work just as well?

    Replacement Caps....

    Thanks for the replies fellas.....I guess I'll be heading on to the 'ol stealership to get what I need. Wish me luck!!

    Replacement Caps....

    Does anyone know where I would be able to find a replacement cap for the fuel filter on the driver's side railing?(HFCM) I "kinda":doh: tore it up when I changed fuel filters, about 2,000 miles ago. And it's about that time to change them again. Is it only a dealer item, or would I be able to...

    2004 6.0L King Ranch (Need Suggestions)

    First off, welcome. King Ranch would have been my first choice, but I really don't need all of that leather. Nice interior though. Second, make sure you keep that wallet tucked away or you will be spending more than what you really need to. As far as exhaust, MBRP is the choice that most...

    Banks Techni-Cooler??

    I guess if you look at the specs from bankspower.com, I think you will find what you are looking for. I have read good things about that intercooler and I am definately going to put one in my truck once I get the money for it. Keep digging around and I'm pretty sure you will come to a...

    Water drain plug

    Sweet deal. You might want to read up more on the Banks Six Gun. Kind of pricey compared to other programmers that are advertized. I would go with the the SCT or Quadzilla. It seems that most people here would agree on that. In my opinion, the only thing that I would purchase from Banks is...

    Gauges or monitor w/ SCT

    Has anybody heard of stepper motor gauges by autometer? I haven't really seen anybody post anything about these type of gauges. Any good? I can see how the pillar pod might get in the way of your line of sight, plus I would like to keep that handle to help me get in the truck once I lift it.
