    OK, i did it.

    After an agonizing year of constant maintenance and repairs, I sold the 6.0 and got a new 2012 F-350 DRW. My original attempt to get a clean used truck cheap, has ended up costing me more than a new truck payment. So got my A-plan pin and went shopping. So far, this is a night and day...

    Outlook vs Insight

    Who is running these and what are your thoughts? I'm looking at gauges and I think I'm leading this way instead of traditional gauges. I have no want or need for a tuner, just monitoring capabilities. Both look like I have to add the pyro sending unit. Thanks.

    Plugging in your truck.

    I try to plug in my truck when the weather drops below 20. I have the cord hooked up to an outdoor landscape timer so I set it to my work schedule, that way I'm not wasting electricity. Currently I have it set up to warm for 5 1/2 hours. My question is what is the optimum time to be plugged in...

    valve core question

    Got a leaky valve core, the needle wiggles and is causing the tire to lose air. Question is are valve cores a standard size? A box of 4 is $1.99 at the parts store and they only have 1 size. I'd rather just replace that as opposed to taking the wheel off and going to the tire shop and dealing...

    traded in my 08

    Traded in my 08 yesterday. The dealer bought it back and gave me a good price + A-plan and current rebates for a new 2010 and its cheaper than my old truck, go figure. I will miss the 08, it was a great truck and I had no issues in the 3 years that I owned it. Hope the new one will serve just...

    2008 Owners manual incorrect

    Just FYI, the back up light bulb burned out, so i went to the store and looked in the owners manual and its incorrectly stated. It states the back up light needs a 3156, 3156K bulb when it actually needs a 921. No where even close. Just pissed me off that i had to make 2 trips to the parts...

    Warranty and a snow plow

    Would installing a snow plow void the factory warranty if the truck has the snow plow prep? the dealer said no, but i'm not sure i believe him. he seemed to over confident if you know what i mean.
