    2008 Bed on a '99

    Will it all be a direct swap out? (bed, bumper, etc.) School bus hit me and I need a new bed. Also ... do you guys think this (using a newer style bed) would actually decrease resale values?

    F-250 or F-350 Shocks?

    This forum is engine/drivetrain. I see no suspension forum. Forgive me if this is the wrong place. I can get a set of 350 Bilstein shocks for cheaper than a set of 250 Bilstein shocks. Any drawbacks or advantages to this? I know the fronts are the same ... but the rears are...

    Finally Replaced Parking Brake Cable

    Yeah, it broke on me Saturday and I needed to get my truck inspected. What a PITA this was. When I FINALLY figured out how the PCM came out ... then the tough part started. For those with manual transmissions ... I especially hope you never have to do this. I was tempted to remove the...

    Emblem Question

    I wanna get rid of the '99-'0? emblems on my fenders and tailgate so I can replace them with the newer style ('05-'07 i guess?). Anyway, what I need to know is if they are the same size. I don't want to take the old ones off and put new ones on if there will be a ring showing where the old...

    Grille Insert Questions

    I have one of the "part chrome" grilles on my '99. The top half of the honeycomb part on the passenger side is busted out. I plan to get a new plain grille and paint it white (color of truck). I was then going to get some of those billet grille inserts (horizontal one's) and have them...

    This Exhaust Any Good?

    http://www.tjdieselperformance.com/servlet/Categories?category=FORD+POWERSTROKE+1999-2003 Anyone use this? Does it sound good? Does it give the gains advertised? I'm looking at the 14ga. system for $279. Also, would this fit an early '99?

    Grinding 5th ... or 6th.

    Whichever one you want to call it. Overdrive is grinding almost every shift. I was reading a post that Hoss made a while back about it and he said that it could be the clutch. The P.O. supposedly put a new clutch in it. It is REALLY stiff. How can you tell FOR SURE that the clutch is...

    Power Locks Question

    When I try to lock/unlock the doors with the button, the locks kind of "twitch" but don't go up & down. I'm tired of having to manually do it when I know I'm supposed to have power locks, lol. It's been like this since I bought it. What causes them to do this? BTW, the windows work...

    Usable Grommet on Firewall?

    Doing an amp install. I can't find anywhere on the firewall to run the power wire. Any suggestions? Also, since they both read 12V, I suppose it doesn't matter which battery I tap it to, right?

    Which Air Filter

    Sorry for all the stupid newbie questions. I'm still trying to get all the little things done to this truck that I just picked up. No offense, but the search function isn't really all that helpful on this site. The truck is a '99 with a build date of 06/98. My air filter is NASTY & I...

    Coolant Flush

    Maybe I did something stupid. If I did, please don't poke fun, lol. I'm new to PSD's. So I read that it would take ~7 gallons. I drained coolant. Flushed with water. Went to fill it back up & it only held 4 gallons + 1 bottle of additive! What gives?

    The Dreaded Chime

    Just bought the truck a few days ago. '99 F250 7.3L. I still have that stupid chime. It decides to start dinging at random. At idle. While driving. Anytime. I have NO lights coming on. When going down the road, and I un-buckle, is the seatbelt light supposed to come on? (It doesn't)...
