    Step rail brackets......

    is there anyone that sells these separately from the step rails? I've been on the internet, checked with various supply stores, junkyards, etc. and came up with nothing. I busted off the step rail on the passenger side of my truck hitting a ditch I didn't see; step rail is fine but the...

    Trying to find problem....not the CPS

    So the truck broke down this past Wed., it started to buck, picked up speed, then bucked a few more time and that was it.....engine stopped dead. Could not restart it at all. Knowing that the CPS can be a major problem I figured that's what it was. I had it replaced in Feb. of '08 but from...

    Question regarding the CPS maybe.....

    So I'm driving down a country road on my way to train when the truck starts to buck. Happened a couple of times, then ran okay for a few minutes. Bucking started again and this time the engine died. Managed to pull the truck off the road, gave it a couple of minutes and tried to start it...

    Question on drivers

    I've got a SQL driver problem, SQLSatConnectAttr to be specific and cannot get into my email. I'm by no means a computer mechanic but I did some searches on how to repair/replace this particular driver. The info that's out there is pretty much for people who understand the inner workings of...

    Weather stripping for my SD

    I'm cleaning up and painting all the rust on the bottom of my doors and after looking at the weather stripping decided it would probably be good to replace it since it's pretty dried out and cracked. Cannot find it anywhere. Local Ford dealer here went out of business so that's no good...

    Question re. steering damper

    To all the great minds on this forum, this question is for a friend of mine who works on his own truck much of the time. He has a '99 7.3L Ford SD, auto 4x4 shortbed, 2" lift kit w/front leveled and recently installed new Bilstein shocks after I convinced him how great they are. He loves them...

    White cab lights

    I'm thinking about replacing the yellow cab lights with the white ones. Been looking around but haven't seen any trucks around here wearing them. I seem to remember somebody on here installed them but after an unsuccessful search figured I'd go ahead and post. Like to know what ya'all think...

    Looking to install a chip, programmer or.......

    whichever one will help engine performance and mpg. I've been trying to read up on these things but not at all sure which one would serve my purposes. I don't pull/haul anything, lots of over the road driving (at least for now but that could come to a grinding halt soon thanks to diesel...

    Using new veggie oil

    I have a friend who sent me an email to tell me he's using veggie oil he buys new in a grocery store in his diesel. First time he mixed it with half a tank of diesel fuel and now he's going to fill up his tank with the veggie oil and a "mixer". Not sure yet what the "mixer" is but will check...

    Which shocks to put on.....

    Getting ready to put some new shocks on the SD but not quite sure which ones to get. On one side I hear Bilsteins are the way to go and on the other Edelbrocks. I've always thought Bilsteins were the better of the two but wanted to get some opinions from you folks. What's the difference...

    Rehashing air intake systems

    I've noticed that some air intakes have lids on the boxes and others do not. Is there any particular reason for this, i.e. does one with a lid function better than one without or does it matter??? :dunno

    Donaldson air intake systems

    Do any of you have the Donaldson air intake system installed in your truck and if so, how do you like it.....or......what don't you like about it? I'm going with the Amsoil synthetic trans fluid and the rep seems to feel that the Donaldson is one of the "better???" air intakes. Since I know...

    Re. Synthetic oils for transmission

    I know this has been asked before but I'm getting ready to have the transmission fluid changed and I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. I've got folks on one side saying DO NOT use synthetic trans fluids and I have others saying it's the ONLY way to go. Soooo, that being said...

    4x4 Shift Motor.......one more time.

    Okay, so I've got the shift motor and I'm ready to install it. Is there anything special I need to know or should know before I start? Any problems I could run into while I'm doing it. Bolts are okay--nothing rusted under there so they'll come off pretty easy.

    Optima Batteries

    I'm planning on getting two new batteries for the PSD before the cold weather sets in because I think the current batteries may be at least 4-5 yrs. old. Has anyone put these batteries in their vehicle and since they are more expensive are they worth the money?
