    spartan tuner

    When downloading a tune to the ECM the touchscreen on the tuner states that it requires 32 minutes, but usually goes a bit faster than that. There are literally dozens of safety parameters built in to the tuner. Some of them are preset and almost all of them are adjustable to your liking...

    Results of the Spartant DFP tuner and delete kit.....

    The transmissions on '08 and later 6.4L equipped trucks, seem to handle power upgrades pretty well, from what I've read. Spartan diesel has one of their 6.4L trucks making way more power than I am, and they've had no breakages so far. At least that's what they claim. Also, Diesel Power...

    Results of the Spartant DFP tuner and delete kit.....

    Hello all, I've got an '08 F350 SRW Crew cab SB that got about 15 mpg when new and totally stock. Put a leveling kit and 35's on it and mileage dropped to 13. I made the call to Spartan to see what all the hoopla was about. They were very friendly and helpful, so I decided to order...

    Question Keyless entry (door pad)

    Just one more thing. I realized after posting that the Bulldog Securities model is the one that has a module inside the vehicle and then the touch pad mounts on the outside of the vehicle with 3M tape. Communication is wireless, and no drilling required. The a1 electric model is a permanent...

    Door Handles Painted To Match

    Hello all. Is there anyone looking to sell a set of four black body color (gloss black) door handles for a crew cab '08 Superduty? My truck is a Lariat with black paint, but has dull black textured plastic handles. I have tried Ford's website, and the dealership, but have been informed that...

    Recon Lights

    Hey POWERSTROKEMS, I have the same truck that you do, and when I installed my AMP research power steps I had to tap into certain wires under the edge of the carpet near the door sills. These wires are the factory "door ajar" wires that warn you when the door is open, and also turn your dome...

    Spartan Diesel Tech DFP kit fully recieved & installed

    It's funny! I was just searching Spartan's website, and noticing that they've revamped it somewhat. I have a lot of questions about the dpf delete system, so I decide to go and check out SuperDuty Diesel since I hadn't been over there in a while. Lo and behold the first thread is White Yacht...

    Tpms fix

    The TPMS sensors must be carried over from the factory rims when new ones are installed. The following message may help someone who, like me, installed bigger tires on the factory rims. I have an '08 F350 with the TPMS and the factory front tires were rated at 65psi, while the rears were rated...

    best way to improve fuel economy on 6.4L

    Fuel Economy Hello all, I was in Iraq in '07 when I first got bit by the diesel bug, and subsequently became a member. Now here we are in '09 and I'm back to the sandbox again. This time its Afghanistan though. I just wanted to throw in my two cents about fuel economy for those who...

    Wiring Fault on Trailer --no trailer attached

    Try spraying a little bit of WD-40 into the connector as it displaces water and prevents corrosion. That's an old trick used for water inside of a distributor cap. If that helps, great...if not then I guess it's the dealers problem.

    Stalling or hesitation problems at WOT?

    Hello to all. I'm not sure if this has been addressed already, but I've heard a few people complaining about this issue, and have even experienced it myself a few times. The new trucks occasionally stutter or hesitate when launching hard from a stand still or at wide open throttle. I had...

    trying to find fuel filters-- WHERE??

    I just recently changed both of the fuel filters, the oil filter, and the air filter on my '08 and the price from Ford was pretty darn high. I think the price for all four filters was something over $200 dollars. On the other hand though, I do all of the maintenance myself, so the money I save...

    Issues updating Edge Juice with Attitude

    To my knowledge, no after market programmers or tuners are authorized by Ford, and the installation of one of these devices will void your warranty. You should be able to remove the device before taking the vehicle in for service without the dealer knowing it was ever installed. If there are...

    photos Finally got some pics posted

    Leveling kit I finally found the time to break out the tools and install my Tuff Country 2.5" leveling kit. Man I tell you it really made a difference in the overall look of the truck. No more sagging front end, or driving around with the ass end up in the air. Everything is nice and even...

    Leveling and tires for an '05

    35 X 12.50 tires should fit with no lift and no rubbing, even at full steering lock. I do however recommend the leveling kit for aesthetics, and to prevent rubbing which could occur at full suspension compression. Below is a pic of my '08 F350 4X4 with 35 X 12.50R18 Toyo Open Country MT's on...

    photos Finally got some pics posted

    Here are a few pics of my '08 F350. I have to say, I'm pleased with the way the truck is coming along, although the mods are still minimal. So far I have installed a FabFours rear bumper, Amp Research power steps, and 35 X 12.50R18 Toyo Open Country MT's. I have a 2.5" leveling kit sitting in...

    BANKS EXHAUST

    If you're installing a new exhaust with the DPF still intact, you can expect sound levels to be similar to stock at idle, but more aggressive at WOT. At least you won't have the annoying "drone" on the freeway.

    AFE Stage 2 kit and Check Engine Light

    My best advice is to do what I'm doing right now...that is to play the waiting game. Be patient, and wait for the after market to get up to speed with the new trucks. Disregard manufacturers claims for the most part, and listen to guys who have actually installed the parts on their rig. That...

    Missing-hesitating in rain?

    Hey epe223, You mentioned that the trucks build date was May of '07. Besides checking the filter for moisture and emptying the fuel/water separator, have you talked to the dealership about getting your truck flashed with the new tune? It may not be the issue, but it certainly couldn't...
