When I switch up down I lose the ground for up. Tried jumping motor and works fine. Tried new motor and still same. Heard...

    Seats

    Will the seat bottoms swap out side to side? The outside edge is wearing thin on the drivers side so I thought about switching bottoms around. I have the captain chair buckets

    Road trip for truck

    My son decided to switch back to Ford again because being a new father the infant seat would barely fit in back seat of his 06 Dodge. He found a 2012 F-350 KR in Denver. White with black Leather and plenty of room for baby in back. 12hrs to get there. 3hrs paper work and 12hrs home. He did get...

    Def

    Just wondering how much DEF the newer trucks use. Its not a Super Duty but my work truck has used over 280 gals of DEF. Its a 2012 Mack Granite dump truck with a 425hp Volvo engine. When its really cold and working it hard it drinks alot of it. It has averaged out to be around 195 miles to the...

    Easy haul

    Took mine and my sons Victory cycles down to the Vic shop in Adel Ia. For a little mod work and dyno tuning. Pulling a 12ft. enclosed trailer was easy on the SD compared to a big trailer.

    new rubber

    Just installed some new tires on the truck. Toyo Open Country AT II. Found the size I've been waiting for. 285/75-18 I have wanted a taller narrow tire for snow but heavy load rating good enough for towing. Balanced up real good with 2 taking 3 oz 1 taking .25 and 1 no weight. They measured at...

    Turbo sticking

    I'm on my 3rd turbo with the last one just rebuilt 20k ago with all the updated parts. Everyone has stuck closed while towing. You can get it unstuck by jabbing on go pedal a few times making it kick down a few gears. I'm sick of the stock turbo so has anyone tried the Garrett powermax. They...

    Front axle bearing

    If I grab by my front axle ujoint and lift the axle outer end up and let it drop down it seems to have close to a 1/8 inch play in it. Is this normal? I have no noises or grinding. Do they use a caged needle bearing like a Dana? doe

    B-10

    Minnesota now mandates B-10 at all pumps. I guess its good for lubeing up injectors but sure messes mileage up. I don't know what new truck warranty states for max Bio but my 2006 was B-5. Hopefully nobody has an issue and has to fight the state, dealers, and Bio producers

Then headed down to Willow Springs Mo. to pick up a wood burning outdoor stove. 1840lbs. in the box of the SD and it leveled it out and rode like a champ. Picked up the bike...

    Light load

    Left home Friday morning and got down to Little Rock, Arkansas 12 hrs later. Averaged 68 mph. Loaded a 2011 Victory Cross Country in box and headed home. Just the right weight to make the SD ride nice. 16 hrs home with a little nap around Kansas City. Low of 16.2 mpg and high of 19.4 so all...

    The drag truck is getting put away for another winters rest. Super Duty's job of pulling it has ended for this year. Now it just has to get me through snow for the next 5-6 months. Couple pics of last race. Was having issues with to much motor and to much traction. Drug rear bumper on second...

    NHRA nationals at Brainerd International Raceway

    Just got back from BIR after watching some great drag racing. Camped in the ZOO from Wed till Sun witch is probably the wildest campground in the NHRA circuit. Drivers and crews even came and cruised and partied with fans. The track owner was so hoarse he couldn't even announce at opening...

    Fuel pressure rise

    I have about 300 miles since I changed fuel filters. Now my fuel pressure gauge is peged at 100psi. If I put the engine under a load it goes down to 58-60lbs but at light throttle it jumps around all over the gauge between 60 and 100psi. I took spring out of regulator and cleaned flushed and...

    2013 Taurus

    Found a white platinum tri color Limited that the other half had been looking for. The 2006 500 limited just about was ready to roll over 100,000 miles and had been a real good car. Got 30's for mileage too. The Taurus has almost 300hp and all the bells and whistles. Hope I get to drive it once...

    7.3, 6.0 diesel and trans cores

    What is a 1999 7.3 eng and trans core worth. What is a 2001 7.3 eng and trans core worth. and a 2003 6.0 eng and trans core. Have a chance to pick up 3 F-450's. They all turned over but were not runners. If I can find a place that buys cores it might be worth the chance to make a couple bucks...

    Wicked wheel for 6.0

    Was doing a little internet surfing and came across these. Dieselsite has a wicked wheel for the 6.0 now. I had one on my 7.3 and it cured the turbo surge after putting on an intake and exhaust. I also found a Batmowheel that is basically the same but for more money. I don't have surge on my 6.0...

    First water filter change

    Serviced the truck yesterday and changed out my water filter for the first time since the install. I was expecting a filter full of casting sand but was surprised after cutting the filter open that it contained about a quarter of a teaspoon of sand in the bottom of the can and nothing in the...

    FICM tuner

    Got a ficm tuner from inovative diesel. It seems to make the drivability off idle to mid range more responsive. The mileage on the lie meter is 1.5 to 2 higher than it usually is so guess time will tell if it was a worthwile investment. The only problem installing it was low battery voltage the...
