    Help with cut wires

    red, black, blue, yellow: I think you answered your own question? Pass thru wires, with terminals interestingly stuck on in-hood side. purple/pink stripe wire...not so sure about that. Is it also thru the firewall?

    2008 f250 leaking at passenger floor when it rains.

    I'd be suspicious of the windshield seal; even though that spot you describe is forward of the windshield water flows down hill and along edges. You could test with a hose and an extra set of hands. And maybe a clothes pin for your nose. LOL Just a thought.

    Got bit by the batteries yesterday

    I use those pads. You know, this new truck ('17) has leaky stock batteries. Both clamps have corroded and I've had to strip and repaint. I noticed it's coming back after a year. I wonder if they're too full or if the alternator is just charging them too hot? Anybody else see that?

    Fuel Capacity?

    ...I'm back with another update FWIW. As noted above, truck had a TSB on the fuel tank and pickup assy for this problem. I convinced the dealer to get the new tank and pickup, but put in a Titan 55gal tank instead. They were only concerned about the programming (how odd is that) to reset...

    Looking for causes (ECM or Ignition Switch)

    My '02 had the same exact problem. Totally intermittent, it would go months w/o doing it then act up. I did have a short caused by a wire in the steering wheel base getting insulation rubbed off, but that would cause a dead short. Fixed that but this power window/radio thing never did get sorted...

    HPOP questions

    This is a bit different...but when I changed out the original OEM starter at about 200k on my 2001, I switched to a faster turning starter. What a difference that made. I had been experiencing steadily longer crank times over the 15 years I had the truck, and while the faster starter didn't...

    Removing EGR System & DEF

    This forum And this section on the 6.7 might be more helfpul than here...this site has about dried up and ready to blow away. I can't help on the delete vs warranty, since I've just gotten my new '17 end of January. But my opinion is either do nothing, or do the delete. The warranty is money...

    New to Diesel - Questions

    Yes, fuel conditioner/cetane boost keeps our fuel pumps...pumping. Like DaveBen says, follow manual for oil recommendations and change intervals. My new '17 has a much longer run time than I'm used to. Put 18k on it so far this year and 3 oil changes. Your mileage is as good or better than what...

    LED Headlight Bulbs

    I put HID lights directly into my '02 lenses. Loved 'em. New truck came with LED so I'm loving it. I don't know about any videos, but the HID was easy plug/play. Just needed room for the electrical voltage converter box that came with the kit. Lots of those kits out there still.

    tailgate seal kit opinions advice

    Thank you! Your '04 should be like my '02 was...tight! yeah, a bit of dust at the edges, but this new truck is ridiculous. I can't believe how much road dust I blow outa it!!! You can see daylight on all 3 edges.

    Fuel Capacity?

    Update fyi. Turns out early build 2017 trucks have a TSB out for this issue. They swap out the tank and sending unit on earliest builds, and sending units on the rest. Found the info on another ford truck enthusiasts website. oh, and my truck has burned through about 17,500 miles since February...

    tailgate seal kit opinions advice

    My old '02 tailgate and tonneau cover sealed up pretty well without anything else done...but this new '17 f250 takes the gravel road dust back home. I was looking at various seal kits, all run around $25-$30 for 10' or so. There is one sold by a sponsor on this site, I believe. Any experience...

    2017 Platinum ride

    6k miles and i'm loving the new ride. Except the stock fuel tank sucks. I have never stopped so many times for fuel! 17th stop so far, in less than 6 weeks... I think it was about 30 for all of last year with the 100 gallon tank in bed on my last truck....
