    Manual Locking Hub replacement?

    A couple of years ago I was thinking about installing Warn hubs on my "01 dually and was told that they won't fit because of the hub extensions. I took a good look at it last week when I had the extensions off to replace the pads and rotors. I may be wrong, but it looks to me like the only...

    Interior Color Change

    OOPS! I should have read it again... I was thinking he painted the interior parts. I know covers are available but if possible I'd prefer not to go that way. Thanks!

    Interior Color Change

    Anyone out there ever do a complete interior color change? My '01 dually crewcab Lariat has a teriffic black exterior with gray interior. While I can "live" with the gray, I would really prefer black. I know it's gonna be a big job to change it, but with the right advice and "encouragement" I'm...

    need paint advise for rims

    Our Michigan winters are really hard on aluminum wheels - lots of corrosion especially where the weights are mounted. I tried everything to restore the wheels on my previous truck - a 99 F350 - and finally decided to have them sandblasted and painted with a satin black epoxy. The results were...

    2001 7.3 no start!

    Thanks Doug! Is see that you - like my wife and I - love camping. Over the past 50+ years we have "evolved" from sleep-on-the-ground backpacking and canoe camping to a large family-size Eurika tent to a popup to a conventional trailer to a fifth wheel to a truck camper and now back to a fifth...

    2001 7.3 no start!

    OK ladies and gents... WE HAVE LIFTOFF! after literally months of work, my "Humunga-Truck" is back on the road! Just in time to deal with our Michigan winter with the mud and road salt. The problem ended up being the PCM. Although the AutoEnginuity scanner picked up a few codes, for some reason...

    2001 7.3 no start!

    Yep...still down. The good thing for me is that I don't need to rely on this truck as my daily driver! That said, I really miss my truck!!! I'm trying to resist having it hauled in just to pay someone to stand around and scratch his - or her - head. I'm really good at doing that myself! Besides...

    I have a 2001 F350 with the factory fog lamps. Can anyone recommend a replacement bulb or a replacement for the lamp assembly with high output lighting?

    2001 7.3 no start!

    AH! Now I understand. I'll check it out. As I mentioned earlier, I did do a serious cleaning of the engine and underbody before I tore into it. And yes, I did wash the engine with a de-greaser but I was careful to protect the electronics. That said, it's difficult to avoid getting some water in...

    Big Joe... I need a little education. What is "PDB" and "IDM"?

    Replaced the CPS - no go. What about fuel or oil pressure or their sensors?

    2001 7.3 no start!

    Thank you gentlemen, As you suggested, I hooked up my scanner and it read "no codes recorded" but also showed P0603 and P0605. Nogthing else. I understand that the first code is typical anytime a performance chip is added - which my Banks system has. Otherwise I'm stumped. I should have added...

    2001 7.3 no start!

    OK 7.3 fans... I need some suggestions. I have a pristine 2001 dually that won't start. Since I use it to pull my fifth wheel camper, I added some new suspension and brake components. Also added a Banks Powerpack system, 6.0 trans cooler and a coolant filter. And as long as I had much of the...

    Need a Recommendation....

    Many thanks to all who took the time to reply. I will be looking at all the recommendations and weighing one against the other to try and come up with the optimum setup. In response to "F350 Superduty"s question about fuel economy, let me answer it this way... I had a '99 F250 7.3, 4X4...

    Need a Recommendation....

    I have a 2001 F350 7.3 long box, crew cab Dually. I bought the truck in Arizona about 2 years ago from the original owner. It had only 35,000 miles on it at the time! This is my 3rd 7.3 Ford truck and I LOVE them! I am 68 years old and, given the megabucks it takes to buy an equivalent new...

    mag hytec transmission pan

    Hmmmmm... Never thought about the HD valve body. Good idea! But why the "6.0 trans cooler"? Is there something unique about the 6.0 cooler?

    mag hytec transmission pan

    Thanks Doug. Did Brian ever say he wouldn't do it? My main reason for going to this pan is because of the increased fluid cooling. I carry a large, heavy truck camper.

    mag hytec transmission pan

    I am considering installing a Mag Hytec transmission pan on my 2001 F350 7.3 DRW. My trans shop advised me to make sure that there is a longer pickup tube included. I've read many threads about these pans and have never heard about this before. Any comments would appreciated!

    7.3 turbo bolts

    Anyone have any idea where I can purchase some new 12 point flange screws for the turbo on my 7.3? The head of the screw - or bolt - has the letters "H-K" and "B16" underneath. I assume that the manufacturer is the former and the B16 refers to the hardness. Any info or advice you can give would...

    Replacement door jamb sticker

    Anybody know how I can get a replacement door jamb sticker for my '99 F350? It's the sticker that has all the specs and build codes. I bought it used and didn't notice that it is missing until recently when I looked for it to get the interior trim codes.

    Starter problem... SAME OLD GRIND!

    Thanks Dave... maybe I'll consider ordering one next time around! Unless, of course, it's available on the aftermarket. If so please let me know. As to the continuing saga of the grinding starter... it looks lilke the starter solenoid was the problem afterall. That's the good news. The BAD news...
