    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...

    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.

    Anybody had any experience converting a fifth wheel camper from a conventional hitch to a goose-neck hitch? I just bought a "new" 2001 F350 7.3 dually with the gooseneck hitch already installed and am investigating converting my camper to use it. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Power Door Lock Problem...

    OK, fellow SDD enthusiasts... here's an SD question for you. I have a '99 F350XLT Crew Cab with the standard power door locks. For some weird reason none of the door mechanisms will cycle either full up or full down when either door button is pushed. It's like the system isn't getting enough...

    Question Motorized Runningboards

    My son is interested in buying some powered runningboards for his '99 SDD. The ones he's looking at are called "Bestop PowerBoards". I agree that they are really cool but the practical side of me makes me wonder how they will perform (and hold up!) in our harsh Michigan winters. Snow and ice -...

    HELP!!! I need to find a way to reduce the engine noise in my '99 f250. It is set up with the Banks Powerpack system including the Banks exhaust system. However, it's not the exhaust noise that's the problem... it's the engine noise. Please understand that "I" don't have a problem with it. In...

    Question Aluminum wheel "corrosion"

    Those of us who live in the midwest are used to complaining about the effect road salt has on our aluminum wheels - particularly around the wheel weights. My 1999 Super Duty is a prime example with peeling clearcoat and severe pitting. Since I am somewhat of a purist, I would really like to keep...
