    Hate to say it, but coolant loss issue

    My 05 Stroke has been a great truck for me...I bought it new almost 7 years and just over 70k miles ago. I have never had any issues and it only went to the dealer once for the new degas bottle decal. The first thing about my truck that I found odd was with the coolant filter. I had read...

    Max Dahl/ Canvascraft winter front

    I've been talking about getting a winter front for the Duty for a few years now. Finally, I am actually going to go ahead and get one on the way. Does anyone have a picture of Max Dahl/Canvas Craft winter front on their truck? If you do or did have one, any comments on fit and quality of...

    Any guesses?

    Got busy with a little bit of "Government Work" at work the other night. It's fun to play with the mill when I get some free time, especially when I get paid to do so...even better. So here it is...

    I got tired of rowing the ZF6...

    ...So I made myself a new shifter knob. I really wanted to put my Hurst T-handle on there, but there simply isn't enough leg room. So, I bought a cue ball off of Evilbay, threw it in the lathe last night at work to bore out the hole, then warmed the shifter up with the propane torch and...

    The muffler fell off...

    And it landed right next to the little kitten that fell off a while back when the MBRP went on. It's not much louder in the cab, not as much as I expected honestly. However, when in the upper RPMs, it makes a cackle sound almost like an older truck with duals and glass packs racking one off...

    oil tube repair - 6.0l filter housing

    I am not done with this write up, I do want to get it posted up just incase someone else has the same problem as I did, I would hope that the job would go much easier since I got home schooled on this one...As soon as my pic hosting site allows, I will add some pics and delete this narrative...

    Oil filter change problem

    Just trying to beat the real cold and get the oil changed today...pulled the plug and drained the pan, then pulled the filter cap.When I pulled the cap and filter up, I noticed there was a small spring and a plastic plunger sort of thing sitting on the larger spring that stays in the filter...

    Help Needed radio/window failure?

    One of the very few problems I've had with my truck...It's happened only a few times in the 3.5 years I've owned it, and most times it is when it is cold. I turn on the key and neither the radio or the power windows will work. The lights to the window and lock switches are also not glowing...

    Not the nicest thing, but funny anyway...

    A few weeks ago, I figured out how to get my truck to send out a good cloud of black smoke. I know that the street and Looney tunes both blow more, but I've been running the tow tune for a while now and came across this by accident. Anyway, on my way home from work the other morning, there...

    Air horns...finally done.

    I'll start by saying that I HAD a set of the cheapo style Wolo horns on the truck for a while. To put it nice...they suck. I've been getting parts lined up for a good while now. I finally got around to gathering everything up and putting it on the truck. It is probably one of the cheapest...

    Home built coolant filter

    The filter head was from Napa. It is the same p/n as the aluminum one that most kits have...not sure why this one was steel, but it works fine regardless. I did shoot it with some paint though, I just couldn't stand looking at the ugly green that it was when I got it. The filters are also...

    Block heater questions

    Not the usual one though... I've already added the cord to my truck since Ford didn't think I needed it. Anyway, after talking to a couple buddys that both have Cummins powered Dodges, I'm wondering if my block heater is working/working right. I have not had any start issues with it...

    MBRP Offroad installed

    I got the MBRP Offroad XP in 409 installed yesterday. Here's my thoughts of the exhaust and the install. Install went well. I used a lift...I'm glad that I did rather than try it on the ground. The kit fit well, the down pipe is CLOSE to both the frame and the tranny, but no leaks and no...

    single gauge A-pillar pod

    Does someone have a single gauge pod that they could measure for me? I am getting ready to order a pyro, but want to keep the factory A-pillar grab handle. I heard that the singles would fit under the handle, but I would like to measure it before I order.

    Sub/subs in an extended cab

    I'm not looking to have an audio comp truck...I really just want more bass than what it is factory. The other problem is that I really can't loose any interior space for it...cake and eat it too, I know. I've seen the boxes to put the 6" or so subs under the seats, but I have my strobe power...

    gauge pod question

    I'm going to be getting a pyro soon, but I am needing to figure out how I'm going to mount it in. I am unwilling to loose my A-pillar grab handle, so the only options to put a guage there is either a single pod mounted below it, or a guage cup. I have a guage cup already, and am considering...

    coolant filter thoughts

    I've been thinking about adding a coolant filter for a while now, especially after seeing some of the pictures that were taken of the used filters. Most of the kits look to be fairly simple, and that got me to thinking. I have a remote oil filter kit that I had bought for my play toy truck...

    Question about building LED sets

    I bought a flashing LED dash light for my truck last year (volunteer firefighter) and I like it , but I miss having lights in the rear like when I had a roof mounted rotating light. However, I do like the cleaner look of no light on the roof. The problem is the fancy LED stuff isn't cheap...
