    Rear brake caliper sticking

    The left rear, drivers side, brake caliper 'sometimes' sticks. I replaced the caliper several months ago, flushed the old fluid out and the problem stopped. This past weekend I was pulling my toyhauler and had to make a quick stop, a lady talking on her cell phone pulled out and NEVER even...

    2002 F250 Lift Options

    Also look at BDS lift kits. They have a 'no fine print' life time warrenty, if a part breaks for ANY reason it will be replaced. 37" will easly fit with a 6" lift.

    Removing a lift kit?

    Removing a lift on a PSD isn't a big problem "IF" you have the original springs and shocks. If not you may have a problem finding the parts needed to return to stock.

    FYI Competitive engine oil pricing ?

    Wish I could do that. The W-M here doesn't even carry Rotella 5W-40 syn. only the 15W-40 dino oil. They say it doesn't sell well...but their shelves are ALWAYS full of Mobile1 products and I just don't think that many people use M-1 oil... They may be getting some type of kick back from M-1...

    Traction bars

    As far as I know the only difference between the 350 and 250 is the height of the rear block. I just put an 'add-a-leaf' leveling kit on the front of my f-250. The stock springs had a 'negative arch', the kit really improved the ride, wish I had done it years ago. I'm looking for a used set...

    Lope on cold start

    Thats normal for 7.3's when it's cold. I started using Rotella synthetic oil and now I have no more 'lope'. I told a buddy that also has a 7.3, he changed to synthetic and it cured his 'lope'. You may want to try synthetic oil or just learn to live with the 'lope' when it's cold.

    How to get true 4wd?

    With over 20 years of off road experience I would advise you NOT to put a 'hard' locker such as a Detroit or EZ lock/LocRite in the front end of a street driven truck. You WILL regret it!! I would advise using a Detroit Tru Trac of a Dana electric locker, it can be turned on and off as needed...

    code 33???

    My airbag light is flashing "code 33", three blinks-short pause-three blinks, longer pause and it repeats. Sometimes the light goes out and sometimes it stays on??? What does all of this mean and HOW can I make it stop?

    steering stabilizer

    When I bought my truck, 01 F250 4x4, it didn't have a steering stabilizer on it. I've driven several trucks with stabilizers and see no need in adding one to my truck. If your tires are balanced and the truck is in proper alignment I see no need for one. Just MHO.

    My Blend

    My bio station stopped carrying B20. They said that it was more expensive than #2D...but they added, when the price comes down they would carry it again.

    Chip/programmer for towing only

    +1 for the 60 HP DPTuner. I pull my toyhauler with zero problems. Talk to Jody at DP and tell him what you want from a chip and he will steer you in the right direction.

    is this bad?

    My factory Ford u-joints don't have greese fittings. The only grease fittings on my truck are on the ball joints and tie rod ends. I guess that's Fords 'better idea'. My off road/rock crawling Toyota 4Runner has fittings on every u-joint and I keep'em WELL greased. She has over 234,000 miles...

    April mudding pics

    Were the jeeps locked on both ends? Is your SD locked on both ends? I wonder, why you drove off into the first mud pit...mud is no more than 'liquid sandpaper', I have no problem going through it when I have to but I don't go looking for it. If you do you'll eventually get a LOT more than you...

    Overhead console intermittent

    DaveBen is correct, there is no fix for the Lie-O-Meter. But, there is a fix for the dimming of the display. It's caused by the resistors comming loose. Just take it apart are re-solder the resistors and you'll be good 2 go.

    Help Needed Brake Calipers

    The metal line or the flexable line? If the metal line is pinched it may not allow the fluid to drain out of the caliper after the brakes are applied and the caliper may lock up. The flexable line should not stay 'pinched' so there shouldn't be a problem. However, my left rear caliper locked...

    Foil Delete?

    What these post don't say is that the 'foil delete' gives you an instant 50 hp boost! If you paint your pipes the boost jumps to 75 hp and with brighter paint it can be even higher... It's all up to you, how much boost do you want from the 'foil delete'?

    Brake Flush

    Why would one want to leave the engine running? Having the truck running won't make the job go any faster. I flushed my brake system a couple of months ago and never even considered using the "gravity flush" method, it takes WAY to L O N G!!!! Too get started you will need the following: Get...
