    My batteries are in bad shape and this morning the truck wouldn't start at all. Cranked 2 or 3 times and went dead.

    Question Tire pressure

    Well, here a real rookie question... What is the recommended air pressure for front and rear tires on a 2000 F-250 Lariat 7.3 4x4 Supercab on stock wheels/tires? The manual says to check the label on the drivers side door, but being an export vehicle, mine hasn't got one. I've tried googling...

    New member from Europe!
