    note Fuel mileage after some changes

    Recently I had to replace my turbo as the bearings went south. I replaced it with a Garrett BB unit. I added an oil pressure and water temp gauge at the same time. I also switched motor oil from 15W40 to 10w40. Before all of this I was only getting about 13 - 14 mpg. (with the DP-Tuner chip...

    Help Needed Turbo Down, advise on replacement unit

    Right, while I was accelerating yesterday (not hard acceleration) heard a sound from the turbo, and saw a puff of smoke from the tail pipe. Everything then was back to normal, aside from a whine from the turbo when giving it throttle. Checked it last night after things cooled down and found...

    AutoEnginuity

    What all can you do with it besides the normal scaning? I know it can do the buzz test/cylinder contribution tests. Can you change settings (EG tire sizes, and axle ratios) in the ECM with it?

    My Experiences and a few questions

    Greetings, Finally got my truck registered/taxed here in the U.K. about a month ago. Glad to be driving it again. Not being able to legally drive it for nearly a year was drving me mad. Part of getting the truck road legal in the UK is the annual MOT (vehicle safety check) part of which...

    Steering Box

    Are the steering boxes the same on a 4x4 and a 2wd or are they different. (99-04) Mine needs replaced, and a local boneyard has an 04 that just came in with less than 30k on it, but its a 2wd. If I remember I think they are the same, but I need to know before I go and buy it. Thanks in advance!

    Steering Box (99+)

    I have a 2000 F-450, and the steering has become rather loose as of late. I have adjusted the steering gear three times now, but it never seems to last more than 1000 miles before going sloppy again. The truck has well over 150k on it, so I am not totally suprised that it has worn out...

    Walker BTM. How loud is it?

    Greetings, I was wondering if anyone here has a walker BTM on an otherwise stock exhaust on a 99-03 7.3. I currently have a muffler delete, and the truck had no kitty from the factory. I love the sound, especially the turbo whistle, but have to have a SVA (vehicle inspection) before I can...

    6 Speed with a center console?

    Does anyone out there have a crew cab with a 6 speed that came with a center console? Or has anyone ever installed a factory console on a truck with a 6 Speed? Just wondering if it can be done with relative ease.

    Exhaust question

    Whats the difference between 304 stainless, and 409 stainless? My main concern is how well it will hold up to salt, as the truck is about to be in the UK. I'm looking at a 4" turbo back mbrp system. Thanks in Advance.

    Adding factory Remote Keyless Entry. Can it be done?

    I have a 2000 F450, that came with power locks, but no remote keyless entry. Would it be possible to add the factory remote keyless entry to the truck. (I'm not a big fan of aftermarket alarms and such.) I've also noticed that ford has a kit, but can't find any information about it.

    Hi-res Satellite pics of the devastation.

    http://ngs.woc.noaa.gov/katrina/KATRINA0000.HTM Click on the one of the squares, then on one of the smaller squares for the different satellite pics. The I-10 bridge going across the mouth of lake Pontachatrain did the same thing that the Escambia Bay bridge (also I-10) in Pensacola did...

    truck is down, please help

    The truck is a 2000 f-350 7.3 6 speed. I installed the return regulator mod about 900 miles ago, along with the pre pump and in tank mods. Went to the store tonight, and when I came out, truck started, but felt like it was missing. I checked my fuel pressure gaguge (which I believe is fairly...
