    Disaster Proof Kit

    Just curious if anyone has installed one of these? I recently found out about them and my buddy talked to a diesel mechanic at work that highly recommended one. I ended up ordering an S&S kit and it should be here in the next couple of days.

    Got bit by the batteries yesterday

    Drove to work fine yesterday morning. Then when it was time to leave I hit the remote start and nothing happened. Thought I messed up the buttons. Got inside and turned the key and was welcomed with the sound of a clicking starter. Thankfully someone came by and gave me a jump. Especially since...

    Low Rail Pressure

    I've gotten the low rail pressure code a couple times over the last couple months. It usually pops at the first start up. I get the low power message, but it goes away pretty quick. When it first happened I think I got a bad batch of fuel. The stuff that came out of the water separator was...

    Key Lock

    Has anyone ever replaced a door lock? Someone used a screwdriver to try and break into my truck. The lock works, but it's all bent up. Can I swap a new one in then call locksmith to have it keyed? Or does the locksmith have to key it before installing it?

    Put on some miles

    We took a family vacation for the 4th of July to visit some friends in Washington. We stayed just outside of Portland as they're not too far from there. We took the truck and of course it didn't miss a beat. Almost 2600 miles from Monday night to Saturday evening. We hit a few bugs on the way.

    Cracked Paint

    Has anyone had an issue the paint cracking on top of the cab? I noticed it last time I was waxing the roof. I've been thinking about getting the roof wrapped to help protect it. I guess this will push me to get it done sooner.

    Drivetrain Warranty

    I was wondering if the drivetrain warranty covers bad seals on the engine and trans? I was doing an oil change today and noticed the bottom of the bellhousing is damp. I'd rather have them fix it if possible. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    DTC P04DB

    I've had this code pop up there times now. The first time I cleared it manually. The second time it cleared itself. Third time it stayed for a couple days so I made an appointment to have the truck looked at. But naturally it cleared itself yesterday. I think it has something to do with the...

    Bluetooth auto connect

    Does anyone else have the issue where the radio will start playing the music from your bluetooth device automatically? Sometimes when I get in my truck it'll start playing whatever I was listening to on my phone. I've made sure to shut down the apps on my phone and turned off the auto start...

    Coolant Test Strips

    My Check Engine Coolant warning had popped up. I just wanted to check that these are the correct strips before I order them. http://www.acustrip.com/cgi-bin/proddesc.cgi?s=328-2050

    Snow Chains

    What snow chains do you guys recommend for a 4x4? I'm planning on heading up to Big Bear towards the end of the month. I've heard I don't need chains with a 4x4, but I was looking at Big Bear's traffic site and it says I have to at least carry them. Which brings me to my next question... Do I...

    Sync Radio

    Has anyone else had an issue with the radio randomly turning off when driving? I have the Sync system with the touch screen. Naturally when I mention it at the dealership they have no idea what I'm talking about and it never acts up when it's there for work. I've started using my GoPro while...

    Changing shocks

    What mileage did you swap out the shocks on your truck? Another forum I'm on says Ford shocks are done around 20k and my truck is almost as 21k. It seems that the ride isn't as good as when it was new, but it could also be in my head. I already plan on going with Bilsteins when I change them out.

    Insulating a Camper Shell

    Has anyone ever done any kind of insulation on their camper shell? We drive to Az a few times each summer and the dogs ride in the back. I'm going to get the windows on the shell tinted to help keep the sun out, but I was thinking about insulating the shell itself as well. It's just thin...

    Fifth wheel or Gooseneck?

    Since getting the 250 I've noticed I'm looking around at travel trailers a little more. I know eventually w're going to get a toy hauler. It'll be for a couple quads. Nothing to big. At first I was thinking I need to get a fifth wheel, but it seems that the fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches are...

    Gear numbers

    When I was towing my boat last summer somehow I made the gear numbers appear on the dash. It's not the numbers for when you're in manual. I liked it, but eventually it turned itself off. Last night I was driving around and they came back. I have no idea what I did. I looked through the manual...

    Got a head scratcher for you guys

    Once in a while when I start my truck there is air blowing from the vents. The thing is, nothing is turned on. The A/C, heat, and climate control is all off. The only way to stop it is to turn it on then turn it off again. And it's not like the air is blowing very hard. It's hardly noticeable to...

    When to get concerned?

    I towed my boat back to my house from my buddies last Saturday. Part of that trip included going over a small hill. I watched the oil temp and trans gauges. The oil got up to 219 degrees. It was 90 degrees outside at the time. The reason I ask is next weekend we're heading to Az and have a...

    Turbo Timers

    So it seems that getting a turbo timer for these trucks is a good idea. What timers are you guys running? I'm guessing it has to be tapped into the ignition circuit to work correctly. A thought I had, and I'm sure this will show how much of a newb I am, is using the remote start as a timer...

    San Diego Newbie

    Hello everyone. I've been an SUV owner for a long time. Kids and dogs made it a requirement. July 6th a lady decided to run a red light and slam into my Expedition. It ended up getting totaled out. The wife and I had some discussions about getting another SUV or getting a pick up. We're hoping...
