    The End of My Diesel Era

    After 16 years of blissful 7.3 towing, I have sold Big Blue and moved down to an F150 EcoBeast. Just don't need the 'big rig' towing and parking. Sold for $2K less than paid 16 years ago (inflation is a beatch). Still ran like a top. I miss the smell, miss the sound; don't miss the diesel...

    AC Dies when 4WD Activated?

    Here in NW Arkansas, I don't need 4WD often. Last week, I was dragging a trailer up an incline, rear started to spin, so I engaged 4WD to assist. Cold air stopped coming out of the vents, 95 degrees outside. (But the blower could still be heard.) When I got home, I checked every fuse inside...

    NW Arkansas Powerstroke Service

    I just moved up to Bentonville, Arkansas. Can anyone recommend a good shop for service on my 7.3? Oil changes, steering box service, the works. Are the stealerships OK here - I hate to make an expensive mistake. Thank you.

    Dome Light Short

    This is almost embarrassing. All I tried to do was pull my dome light bulbs to get the number and order some LED replacements. Now I have a dead short in that circuit, have blown fuse #14 twice. That is the circuit with the center and rear dome lights and the cargo light on it. [I think the...

    7.3 Sluggish

    I tow a 37 ft 5th wheel with our '01 7.3. Truck is terrific, reliable, has decent MPG, with 128K miles. But it is not a barnburner with a load. Driving across N. Texas towing the 5th wheel on those long mild 287 hills, it works pretty hard. I can't make over 40 mph on Raton Pass from New...

    Lost Power - "Service Engine Soon" Light

    Folks - Help, My '01 7.3 has been outstanding, just 128K on the clock. But just yesterday I made a mower gas run, only 3 miles or so. Returning home, the Service Engine light popped on and I lost a lot of power - had to put my foot into it just to stay running and get home. I know I need to...

    Question 6.0 Trans Cooler on 7.3 Truck

    OK, you've convinced me on upgrading my 7.3 tranny cooler. Any recommendations on a shop put a 6.0 cooler in there for me in NW Houston? Ideas on what that might run? Do they have filters from factory? Or is that an aftermarket item? Thanks.

    SuperDuty Rear Seat - Folddown??

    My 01 SuperCrew has a great fold down rear seat, 60/40 split. Anyone know of an aftermarket fold down rear seat for the F350 SuperDuty Crew Cab, 2001 model? It'd be nice for long trips with an ice chest, etc. Thanks.

    Towing - Performance

    We finally bought a 5th wheel and I was able to tow with all the mods to the F350 (see signature) the past weekend. I set the Diablosport tuner to Tow tune. The 37 ft. Cedar Creek is no more than 12,000 lb and towed well insofar as it held whatever speed set - 60, 65, 70 - with no problem...

    Question Awesome Transformations

    Anyone deal with these folks on 1960 between Perry and Mills Roads? They install accessories which is a plus for me who has no time - light bars, r-boards, etc. Good, not so good, stay away?? Thanks.

    Houston Shop Experiences

    My SD is bone stock; I mainly want a bit of towing power and more mpg for commuting. I intend to add a tuner (leaning Diablo Sport) and a 4 inch exhaust with MBRP or Aero Turbine. (I will do the zoodad mod myself also.) It appears that Ranchhand on 1960 (always available and friendly but...

    Leather Steering Wheel Peeling

    A couple of places on my leather wheel just began peeling at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. Like a very fine layer of tan paint, so a darker color is showing underneath. Not certain that is actually what it is though. Does this happen with low mileage six year old truck steering wheels? Can...

    Want Doors to Lock in Drive, etc.

    1) Just got an F350. On my '01 F150, the doors would lock automatically when the truck was put in Drive or Reverse - nice safety feature. The 350 is also an '01, but does not do this. Can it be programmed differently? 2) The 150 horn would alarm if a door was opened without the remote...

    Trailer Light Problem

    Just bought a 2001 F350 PSD. Hooked up my ATV trailer this AM and no lights. :confused: Put a meter on the truck's connector and no voltage. Checked fuses under dash and hood - the ones I thought might be problems but all good. Truck has 5th wheel setup with connector in bed in addition to...
