    Rear Vibration, TSB & Dealer

    Well I took my truck to the dealer b/c I have "THE" rear vibration around 45-48mph. I've checked my driveling angles, road force balanced tires and had 3 sets of different tires (2 AT/S's and 1 procomp), stock height, 4" lift... back to stock and the vibe is still there throughout all of that...

    5w-40 CJ-4 Rotella is out

    - ROTELLA Products What do you guys think? One thing I noticed is they state this oil meets the Ford Oil spec, unlike the 15-40.

    Torn between 2 tires

    OEM Goodyears or 285/65 BFG AT KO's. Price and mileage are the determining factors. The BFG's are outrageously expensive. With the money I save vs buying OEM tires I can buy a Detroit locker. Which is what I'm probably going to do.

    Tire help, BFG or GoodYear

    Looking for some input on tires. I currently have the factory 20x8.5" factory wheels and I went from the 275/65 OEM's to a 35x12.50 ProComp Xtreme AT. First off let me say I love the procomps. VERY VERY Quiet, lots of meat. HOWEVER. At $5/gal I need to start looking for every mpg. I'm pretty...

    exhaust leaks normal?

    Ok, I put on a 4" turbo back exhaust and it's leak free until after the Cat area, where you use U bolts. Where the pipes come together, those slits, you can see over time some blk soot around them. Is this normal on aftermarket 4" exhausts? I put the U bolt halfway back/forward on the slits if...

    Lund Roll up Tonneau ?

    The cheapest roll-up tonneau I found is the Lund. Has anyone had problems with it? Where is it made? china or USA? I've also looked at the Lorado/Access and the Truxedo LoPro QT which are both the same style, but a lot more money. Not sure what the justification is, but I'm looking into it...

    Sell F250 for F150?

    Rotella Syn or Mobil 1?

    Currently using 5-40 rotella syn. Easily obtained from a wal-mart or TSCo. etc. So far I'm real happy with it. Easy starts, $17/gal, and truck runs quiet and MPG's are good. Wondering if there is any reason I should pay $23/gal for Mobil 1 5-40 Turbo Diesel oil?? Is that stuff supposed to be...

    Stock suspension travel (Front)

    Ok guys, on a stock 05-07 F250/F350 4x4... What is the amount of "up" travel on the front? Currently with my 4" skyjacker I have 4" of up travel and am using 2" of it judging by the shock rods and where the clean/dirt start. I did some math here.. but on a stock truck we only have 2" of up...

    lifted running boards 2"

    Finally did it. Raised them exactly 2". It's perfect. any more wouldn't work/look right and any less might as well stay stock. They're still functional, just not hanging down asking to get messed up off-road. Personally I think they should of come from the factory like this. I've been eyeing...

    5W-40 SYN in 6.0?

    Ok, I have about 8,500 miles on my 07 6.0. I've been on the fence about running syn 5-40. I'd like to give it a try. it doesn't get very cold here in FL, but we do have a few mornings below freezing. I like the idea of having oil for year round temps & cold start up protection. And maybe...

    10w-30 ?

    I've heard some chatter about running 10-30 in our 6.0's on some boards but never paid attention. Today at work I asked the lead tech in charge of the semis, cranes, steam shovels etc what oil they use. straight 30wt diesel oil. Kind of threw me off. I expected 15-40 "brand X". I even asked him...

    what do you guys think about running a 4" dropped pitman arm with the 2.5" level kit? Yes it's over corrected... but it's closer to stock. 2.5" difference and 1.5" difference.

    Driveline Angles way off; need shims

    Checked my driveline angles today. I have a 4" skyjacker lift. I used a procomp carrier shim kit, b/c it allowed me to select in 1/16" incriments how much I needed. I'm running 7/8" of carrier bearing shim, which is PERFECT. the 2pc driveshaft is 0-.5*; as close to straight as you're going to...

    35x12.50 ProComp Xtreme AT's are on!

    Had them put on yesterday. Kept my factory 20" wheels. the tires measure 33.5" tall on the truck... pretty much the same height as the OEM Goodyears; maybe a 1/2" difference or less. So far I like the tires a lot. Very quiet, deep treads, siping and E range. 40K warranty also :sweet I...

    Just bought a Magnaflow 4" system

    It's on it's way. Went with the 4" turbo back system. In "pro" # 17922, and then I bought a clamp on 5" tip seperately. Came out cheaper that way vs buying the XL kit which came with the tip included. Can't wait to get it on the truck.

    Oil filter of choice?

    I've tried an Amsoil oil filter, and I'm on a FoMoco filter currently. What seems to be everyone's choice of oil filter for the 6.0? I've read a lot of issues with some knock of filters, and such. Normally I'm a Wix (napa gold) kind of guy. Good quality, overall very good filter, and good price.
