    Leaking Fuel Tank Vent

    I have a leak coming off my fuel tank when it's completely full to the top, like if I fill it up with 31 gallons of diesel. I dropped the tank partially the other day and found it to be leaking near the vent fitting under the cab. I put some hose clamps on the barbs because I figured that's...

    Oil Pressure gauge on 6.0

    I have an Isspro oil pressure gauge, 0-100 psi range, the electric sender is tied into where the factory oil "switch" is also mounted. Here's my issue. On a regular cold start up the Isspro gauge shows 0 psi for quite a while, maybe 45 mins or so (factory obviously shows okay). Then it will...

    Steering Slop

    I have over an inch of play in my steering wheel on my F250. I tried cranking down the adjustment screw on the steering box, it may have helped a little, but the play is still mostly there. I put over 2 turns on the set screw, and the most noticeable difference is that it steers a little...

    Cab Clearance Light LED Bulbs

    I'm going to install factory amber lensed clearance lights on my F250, and was wondering if it would make any difference to put LED bulbs in the housings, or if it wouldn't be an improvement with the amber lenses? Anybody have a part number? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

    Replacing Clock Spring

    How do I go about replacing the clock spring? My airbag light is on, the horn doesn't work, and the cruise is intermittent. This is the clock spring, right? I have an XLT, no steering wheel audio controls. How does 44.93 sound for a replacement? How do I pull the wheel and airbag? Any...

    Door Latch Adjustment

    My driver's door rattles quite a bit, noise coming from about ear level on the driver's side. Window up or down. When I slam the door shut, it doesn't grab like the other 3 doors do, it sounds kinda weak. Is this adjustable in the latch? I drive allot of dirt roads, fields, and get in and...

    2008 Center Console Swap

    I have an 05 with the tan interior, am looking to buy an 08 console. The colors are confusing me. Is the Camel closer to the tan 05, or is it Medium Stone? They both look tan-ish, and I'm getting confused with all the ebay sellers telling me they are tan but called stone, etc. Anybody else...

    Dash Panel Identification

    Does anybody know where I can find the part number to a blank plate to go in place of the 12V power port? A two wheel drive without power slider or backup sensors panel should fit, right? I would like to add some switches and 120V receptacle in place of the power point, just not having any luck...

    Power Steering Box Leak

    I took a hit to my drag link, which bent it, and I now have a leak coming from the powersteering box. It's not coming out where the pitman arm goes into the box, but somewhere on top. I took it off, and can't find any obvious leaks, no cracks, etc. I split it apart where the input shaft comes...

    Fuel Leak Under Bed

    When I came home a little bit ago, I noticed there was a puddle on the ground where I had parked when I came home for supper. It seems to be diesel, and a quick look with the flashlight showed it came from the outboard side of the fuel tank, and down the frame, and it looked like the underside...

    HPOP Fitting Failure

    I was towing a very large trailer without brakes into Great Bend, Kansas. I was slowing down for the first stoplight. The engine died (at 10 MPH, fortunately) and would not re-start. Turned over fine, just no fire. I put in an extra 2 gallons of diesel, changed fuel filters, all while...

    Reflashing For Tire Size

    I put 33's on my 2005 6.0. What are my options for getting the speedo to be correct again? I think an SCT only does tranny shift points, right? Dealer? Other people with a scanner? What have you guys done?

    Inverter Behind Seat

    Is it a bad idea to mount an inverter behind the rear seat of a crew cab? I'm looking at getting a 1000-1500 watt unit, not sure if it's a good place to mount it or if it will be too warm back there. Are the bargain units you see here and there a deal or do I need to stay away from those and...

    Boost Tube Leaks?

    I was riding in my truck with a friend the other day, and under acceleration he said his sounded a bit different, I might have a boost leak. I have thought this before, but could never find a leak. Today I took the air filter out and used some pipe fittings to create a fitting with a gauge...

    Tire Size vs Mileage

    I know this gets covered all the time, but.... I have an 05 6.0 4WD. 265/70/17's in need of replacement. The best I have ever gotten at 75 cruise is 19.4 MPG. Only once. Usually around 17 if I'm lucky. Farm/town type driving nets me 11-14 all the time. I keep records on every tank...

    05 6.0 Exhaust Odor

    I have a 2005 6.0 with 60,000 miles. The exhaust has always had a smell to it. It seems to be most noticeable right after start up and initial warm up, but it's there all the time. It's been this way before and after any dealer re-flashes I've gotten, but I bought it used, so not sure what it...

    Anybody running air bags on either of their axles? Not so much for increased loading, but for softening up the ride unloaded? Anybody have Kelderman Air Rides? Ford - Truck - Air Ride Suspension Systems - Kelderman Manufacturing Simple idea, is it worth the money. I am trying to smooth my...

    Auto Shut Off Fuel Nozzle

    I was filling up at a Murphy Fuel Station last week, waiting on the tank to be full. I heard it get closer to full, and then I heard the nozzle click. But it kept on pumping! I pressed in the flap the nozzle usually pushes up to shut the pump down. Less than a gallon probably spilt, I didn't...

    Low Speed Cruise Control

    Is there a mod that would make the cruise control work at any speed, particularly less than 5 or 10 MPH? When traveling over very rough ground, it's tricky to keep the throttle constant, as your foot is bouncing all over the place. Or how about wiring a switch to idle up while in gear...

    Upfitter Switch Look-alike

    Does anyone know of a switch that sort of matches the factory upfitters in appearance/operation? A paddle type switch of similar style? I really like Carling Contura II's, I push them all day in our Caterpillar loaders, but I want something that matches the upfitters. Or, has anyone replaced...

    Engine Coolant "Mods"

    I am going to put a coolant filter on my 2005 6.0. Am I correct that I do not want to run a filter with SCA's in it? Is the dieselsite setup worth the 120 bucks? How about 80 bucks for the SP Diesel one? Or just piece it together from the parts store? Where can I find a 203° thermostat...

    Aftermarket Engine Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    Where is a good place to mount an oil pressure sender on an 05 6.0? I've seen guys run out of the top of the oil filter lid, but that method doesn't appeal to me too much. Where else do people go? Does anyone use the test port on the filter base? If so, what thread is it? Also, does...

    Leaking Torqshift

    Hi guys. I have a 2005 F250 CC 4x4. 51,000 miles. My transmission was leaking, and I couldn't pinpoint it. I was in for some recalls and reflashing, so I had them have a look at it. Service manager called and said it was the pan gasket, so they were going to replace it, change internal...
