    I asked this on another forum and got no responses, so maybe better luck here.....Lately I have been debating getting a bigger lift, or just trying to cram bigger tires under my current Fabtech 6" lift. While doing research on the 8-10" lifts I have noticed that every company has different...

    Wear & tear from short trips

    Like most diesel owners that plan to keep their truck for a long time, I am trying to adjust my maintenance and possible upgrades to make my truck last longer. Given that majority of the superduty owners buy their trucks because they use them for hauling heavy loads and long distance travel, I...

    Help Needed Dead in the parking lot

    My new Wheels and Tires

    Decided to stick with 18's to save money and 35's since the people at 4wp said 37's would rub like crazy. I still think there is enough room to fit, but they are the professionals. Before After

    Opinions on AFE stage 1 system

    For my birthday my wife bought me the aFe stage one system. I was wanting an air intake, so the gift was awesome, but I am wondering if this is a good system. All it appears to be is a replacement of the filter, and the oval housing.

    MPG change with weather

    Does MPG in diesel change quite a bit when it gets cold? I was getting about 17, and since the weather got cold in houston I got around 15 on two different tanks. Is it the weather or should I be worried something is wrong.

    "grin" post icon

    Anyone ever notice that the "grin" post icon used next to the title of each thread, does not really look like a grin. I dont know about any of you, but to me thats like the face I make in the morning when I have not had enough fiber. Just a thought.

    Things to come

    Found out a few good things that will probably lead to more upgrades on the truck. First, I found out that my uncle-in-law owns a diesel repair shop(mostly medium duty trucks) and can get me the superchips programmer for cost. My wife is still on me about not buying stuff for the truck, but...

    I am debating between running 37's on 18's or sticking with the 35" and running 20 or 22" wheels. 1) How much faster will the steering components wear out running 37's compared to 35's? 2) How much is the ride affected by running 20+" wheels with 35's. Ive had 20's on an SUV and they...

    05 truck with 04 seats?

    I never noticed until today, but my 05 f-350 has the center console from the 04 SD's. I checked the door sticker and it says 2/05, so I was not lied to about it being an 05. I cant figure out why it has the wrong interior.
