    Question Who either has switched or been tempted with Ecoboost?

    Yeah, looks NEW you can either get Ecoboost 150 with lost of *stuff* or a rather plain F250 with the 6.2L gasser. Having a 3/4 ton gasser may not be so bad. I AVERAGED @14-16 with my PSD with FX4 package. Gotta have 4WD where I live. Still need to percolate on this for a bit. I don't want...

    Question Who either has switched or been tempted with Ecoboost?

    So I had a 7.3 crew - I rather wish I hadn't sold it. BUT...I don't miss calculating the $$ spent on each trip to town and overall running costs. I did very much enjoy the pulling power with 8k lbs on the bumper. That being said, at the time when I had the truck I was pulling 8klbs probably...

    Looking to buy..

    Bought my truck when I was towing a lot. Now I'm not. Would prolly get a gasser if I had to do it over again. That being said being able to pull 8k pounds of trailer at 70 mph in overdrive and be able to have a conversation with your mates in the truck going uphill was really nice. It's...

    Passing up on Ford b/c of body removal???

    Tech at the dealer told me the book charges 8 hrs for cab removal. Do the math. If folks here aren't worried about it maybe I shouldn't be, either. But it just kinda seems like the new trucks have taken a couple of steps back from the previous models. Maybe I'm wrong and they pull a HELL...

    Can't believe it

    Ain't that a Donaldson filter? I remember poking around on their web site and finding the part number for the AIS Ford filter but didn't print it out.

    Nice perf - but don't want a lot of noise

    So I take it the AIS filter from Ford is really a Donaldson filter that I can get from Napa with that number?????

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    I USED to tow. That was back when I was racing motorcycles. So it was a 6 hr+ drive one way once a month or so with a 7,000-8,500 lb trailer. Now....we have kids all over the place and I don't get out so much. But I'm hoping to get back out there - I still have my bikes. I do drive a lot...

    Can't believe it

    Not at my joint by the house. They charge OVER MSRP.

    Nice perf - but don't want a lot of noise

    WOW. These guys have it for $198. My local dealer wanted $110 just for the FILTER, and for the intake kit wanted over MSRP of $295. They wanted $320. This is Crain Ford, and my reply was "I guess Mr. Crain can keep his private plane with those prices." Yikes! Your Premiere Source...

    Nice perf - but don't want a lot of noise

    I saw where someone had posted where to get those for like $200 or less...anyone have a good source? ITP nor Diesel Manor have them it appears.

    Nice perf - but don't want a lot of noise

    Guess since I have a K&N in the stock box I'll change that first then get an exhaust.

    Nice perf - but don't want a lot of noise

    Alllllrighty. SO I see you dropped 200 clams on the ford intake deal vs. doing the 66whatever filter. How much louder is it and do you still feel like that Ford intake is worth the $$?

    Nice perf - but don't want a lot of noise

    So I've been reading up and soundsl like besides guages the tymar intakes and 4" exhaust are first things to do to get a bit more HP and better running truck. I'd like to tweak my truck a bit, but I don't want it to be much louder in the cab than it already is. I had a Durango with 6.6L and...

    New guy looking to buy an SD, what to lok out for?

    Keep in mind, that's only for DEALER service. If the truck has been maintained/worked on by independent shops it isn't going to show up.

    Thanks, Big Joe. I may need to check out my plug/cord.

    Super Duty Brake Rotors

    I ran Hawk pads with stock rotors - nice difference from wore-out OEM brakes. I had a brake pin stick on my front rotor and needed new pads, rotors etc. In the interest of getting it fixed quickly I'm back with all OEM parts. I like the Hawk pads much better. Haven't towed much since...

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    *bump* Interesting to pull this back and read our comments. For me, I wound up keeping my PSD and buying a Denali XL for the fambly hauler. I don't pull my race trailer as much as I used to, so I really just commute with my PSD anymore. I'm keeping it because I figure the acquisition...

    Question Cold

    So if I plug in the heater when it's warm (relatively) will it work nonetheless? It's in the 40's right now and not making any noises... I put my OHM meter on the plug and it's jumping around all over the place. Not sure if it's my meter or the plug. But when it's connected and steady it's...

    Block Heater

    OOOOooo WEEEEE!!! Yeah, good thing I asked and didn't get to pulling on freeze plugs. Sure enough, there is the electrical plug-in: was in front bumper behind driver's side driving light. Easy to get once I got off my duff and traced the wire and knew what I was looking for! I've had the...

    Block Heater

    Dave, that true on the 7.3? Yeah, I've searched around. Directly above the starter is a metal plug, then a little forward (grill side) of the starter is another freeze plug hole. It does have metal in the middle but has what appears to be plastic laid in the with plug and a bit of oil...

    Help Needed 4 wheel drive not working without hubs turned

    My hubs would stick in locked. I have an '03. Take the circlip off and the whole hub assembly just comes right off. Check the inner hubs to be sure they turn ok. Prolly do - sounds like a vacuum leak, though. But worth looking at. Is your defroster working? :) If not, you may need a...

    Passing up on Ford b/c of body removal???

    Thinkin' I'll wait to see what the 2011 truck brings. :D They are really making a big deal out of designing the engine themselves, aren't they?

    Passing up on Ford b/c of body removal???

    Hell, I don't need a truck that bad. I think I'll just keep what I have. I'm having trouble justifying the expense for a truck that gets worse fuel mileage (on average reports) than what I have, is more complicated, and can potentially cost me an arm and a leg to repair. Now if the trucks...
