    Help please

    thanks to all. The tube tail gunner was talking about actually had a hole in it. I brazed it for a quick fix. Im going to make another one out of 5/16" brake line because a new one is fifty bucks. I still have an issue though. I am going to clean the sensor. thanks, again

    Help please

    I have a 2000 7.3L with 335,000 miles on it. My intake heater is not working. I changed the solenoid, but this was not the problem. I PCM is not telling the solenoid to turn on the heat grid. I changed the charged air intake manifold air temperature sensor but this did not work. There is...

    Question dpf removal

    5" exhaust back At the end of the stock down pipe, there is a flange. I made my own flange to bolt to the down pipe flange and made my own 5" pipe to hook up to the mbrp 5" system.

    Question dpf removal

    ok guys, i have done my share of experimenting. i will try to keep it short. if you see something your interested in that i have touched on, you can ask me about it. first things first, i think Ford screwed us with the 08. They told us these engines would be more economical than the 6.0 They...

    Chip, Exhaust, Intake, and Trans

    I installed an S&B air intake a while back. I just got done installing a superchips flashpaq with KEM Performance tuning in it. NO MORE REGEN! The programmer has two stages: 50 HP and 114 HP plus a trans tune. The trans tune is definitely an improvement over stock. Now i have an MBRP 5"...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I just purchased and installed a superchips flashpaq with tuning in it by KEM Performance. NO MORE REGEN! I got rid of the particulate filter, now there is a 5" MBRP cat back exhaust. Also, i installed an S&B intake. I havent really driven it unloaded, but i will post more info and pics later.

    Chip, Exhaust, Intake, and Trans

    I just ordered an intake from S&B. Should be here by Friday. Instead of messing with the flange on the particulate filter, I think I am just going to scrap the whole thing. MBRP is done with a straight pipe, but they are waiting on PPE or EFI live to come up with a chip that deletes...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    Let me know what you did, I'll be experimenting with my truck too. One thing I noticed was that on the vacuum guage on the air filter housing, it was more than half way down, with a brand new air filter. It is starving for air. I am also talking to MBRP. the 5" exhaust will be available...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I have a good one for you guys. I called my dealer, and he hasn't heard of anyone getting that low of fuel economy. Ha ha. let the games begin. He told me to bring it in. I told him that the transmission shifts slow, like it slips inbetween gears a lot. I am going to try to get him to up...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I have over 5000 miles on my truck now. I just towed an 8000 lb camper. This truck pulls like a horse. This truck pulled the camper much easier than my chipped 300HP 7.3L. The only problem was that my best fuel economy was 8.5 on the highway with perfect weather and no headwinds. This is...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I just turned 3500 miles. I filled up my tank and reset the fuel economy. While on the highway, I saw up to 19.6 on a 40 mile run. Now I have around 230 miles on this tank of fuel, and it keeps bouncing back and fourth between 15.8 and 16.3. That is mostly rush hour driving. I'll get back...

    Chip, Exhaust, Intake, and Trans

    Apparently jvencius is right. I called superchips back, and talked to a different guy, who I asked the same question about the warranty. He told me that ford does have the technology to detect reprogramming, but they do not use it. Yeah ok. Then he babbled something about You still have some...

    Chip, Exhaust, Intake, and Trans

    Just throwing a couple of ideas out there. The 08' down pipe kicks ass at 4", So that is not an issue. It Goes into the cat at around 3 1/2". The cat bolts into the particulate filter with a hugh flange thats gotta be at least a 5" opening. I havent measured this but it is big. The problem...

    08' super duty not so leather leather interior

    I purchased an 08' super duty with crew cab. The truck is great. I am just a little ticked off that ford calls the interior leather. It is only 30% leather. The front seats are only leather on the seating surface, and thats not including the head rest. The back seat is all vinyl in the...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    There is a good article in the July 2007 issue of Diesel Power Magazine about the 6.4L powerstroke v.s. the V10 gasser. The gasser has 362hp and 457 lb-ft. Multiple runs from 15-65mph uphill with 8,500 lb's were done. The diesel was 7 seconds faster, and almost 2 seconds faster in the quarter...

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I am going to buy an 08'. I currently have a 2000 crew cab, four wheel drive f-250 long bed, with 310,000 miles on it. I previously installed a new set of injectors in at 300,000 and had to put a new cam sensor in at 150,000 miles. Those are the only problems I have had. I get about 15-16...
