    batteries dead after sitting 2 weeks with newer diehard platnums

    The Diehard Platinum Batteries are AGM batteries. This means absorbed glass mat. You will not be able to hear them "sloshing". The liquid in the battery is absorbed, similar to a gel battery like optima. This is why these batteries are more resistant to vibration/ shock and can ge mounted on...

    remote starter

    I have an AstroStart system installed on my 7.3L. With the block heater plugged in, the truck starts in -25* F. Get the one with the two way remote so it sends you a confirmation signal when it starts.

    Those stuffed the wheel wells. Time for more lift. Looks nice though. How do they do in the snow. They aren't siped are they?

    trailer wiring

    I had the same thing happen, as mentioned above it was the fuse under the hood. It blew when I flat towed my parents jeep (no diode to prevent feedback).

    No Brakes

    Did you by chance compress the calipers without removing the master cylinder cap? If so you could have caused damage to the master cylinder. I would re bleed the system and make sure the master is creating pressure and maintaining it.

    is this bad?

    Synthetic Lubricants, Food Machinery Lubricants, Industrial Oils and Greases - Lubriplate They make alot more than just assembly lube. Im glad you got the part ordered. I had to replace mine this year as well. It was split down the molding seam. Not a hard job if your u joint cap screws...

    is this bad?

    If it was held on with zip ties, I would suggest going back to the metal band clamps like it had from the factory. Could have been part of the problem.

    Question Rear Dif

    Yes use sythetic. Both my front and rear have synthetic and are sealed with black RTV. They use a silicone gasket maker right from the factory. As far as I know, mine did not have a paper gasket.

    Stock tires and wheels suck

    I really dont think you should use concrete blocks to support your jacks. I know of more than one case where those cracked and the truck fell. I understand your need for higher lifting height, so i would build some steel bases to set those jacks on. Other than that I like the truck alot. And I...

    finished.. prob not

    I like it, its a really clean look. Did you use automotive paint and a sprayer or did you use a can of spray paint? Either way it looks great and I hope it holds up well.

    Checking the condition of the rear pinion bearing?

    Well I know it was not a Sears Auto Center (I work there). If it was it would have been free if you bought the tires there or $60 if you didnt (Rip off). Any way from my first hand knowledge, tire techs dont know enough to diagnose driveline problems. So by michigan law they can neither suggest...

    Question How Many Leafs In The Factory Spring Packs?

    According the metric to standard tire formula the 325 65 18 tires you have are 12.78" wide and 34.63" tall with the 18" wheel. So they are nearly equivilant to a 315 75 16. To answer your other question, pony express is correct the factory leaf pack only has 2 leafs. You either have a full...

    Rear differntial port??

    If the truck was on a level surface than the fluid level should have been even with the bottom of the threads. So if anything it was a little overfilled.

    01 F350 wheel spacers...where are they??

    I have the same rub with my 3157516 tires. The rubbing is very minimal. I say just run it and be careful not to turn the wheel to full lock. Another option is to add.weld a little material to the bumpstop.

    Front Grill

    The 05-07 grill will work with modification. Using your stock bumper will require you to trim some material from the bottom of the 05 grill. Or you can change the bumper as well as the headlights thats what i did on my 2000.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Got an alignment at work that ended up leading to a new driver side tie rod end and adjuster sleave. It was worth it, the truck rides nice.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Installed 4 Bilsteins and it rides great. Reduced road vibration and stopped the excessive bouncing ive been feeling the last couple years. I figured with the truck at 199,300 miles it was time.
