    Changed IPR Valve

    Hey Mark, That's exactly what a bad IPR will do. It gets hot and has to cool before it will work again. My original bad IPR would work perfectly, but while driving down the highway it would just "switch off" and die. Then after it sat on the side of the road and cooled a bit, she'd fire right up...

    Changed IPR Valve

    Well, I should have known. I found IPR valves anywhere between $40 and $200 on Amazon. The one I bought cost $70. It's another one of those things with these trucks to where you should always buy a Motorcraft part. We pulled the $70 part and replaced it with the $200 Motorcraft part and viola...

    Changed IPR Valve

    Had to swap out the IPR valve last week. My truck would die at highway speeds and then start only when the valve would cool off. I had my mechanic change it out. He told me that it would probably have air in the system now and would take about 50 miles to work it out. Well, it's been around 150...

    Replacement Shocks

    Here's the deal, I have Bilstein shocks on my F250. But,any shocks you put on a 3/4 or 1 ton truck won't make a noticeable difference because the spring rate is so stiff.

    Wow, was it a hassle dropping the tank?

    Question Help needed please.

    Sometimes a leaky injector will cause a little white smoke upon start up.

    Question Help!

    Do you have around a 1/4 tank of fuel? Could be your "shower head" has fallen off of your fuel pump pick up. I'm in the process of that right now, can't let it get below 1/4 tank or she'll start sucking air.

    Anti freeze

    In a diesel it's VERY important to run exactly the kind of anti-freeze the factory tells you to. Yes, it costs more but bad things could happen if you don't.

    Sea Foam

    I've found that Seafoam does not work well with diesel at all. OK for gas rigs, but never in a diesel.

    6.0 fuel problem

    I have an '06 6.0 and twice now it is running out of fuel at or slightly less that an 1/8th of a tank. All I could find was info on a 7.3 doing that and something about a "duckbill" mod or repair in the tank. What is that and could it be the same thing with my truck?

    PowerStroke Mustang???

    I think that a diesel powered Mustang may really be a possibility, as stupid as it sounds.

    Transform the back of your Ford with new Anzo Tail Lights!

    Why would anyone want to "refresh" the look of a 1017,18 truck? Be more logical to have something like those for older models....

    Brake job gone wrong?

    Several things probably going on here. 1) The caliper pistons have a protective cover on them, yours are destroyed. Hopefully the damage is only on them. You could get new ones but it'll work without them. 2) Make sure you can pull both the caliper pins out of the caliper and they are cleaned...

    wrapping up pipes and turbo

    Yes, I'm aware of all that.. It's just so minimal it's just a waste of time in my opinion. I've wrapped headers on my hot rod and ended up taking it off.

    wrapping up pipes and turbo

    Wrapping your exhaust pipes will not aid in spooling or help in turbo lag whatsoever. If you still want to do this, go to the Wish or Geek app and get all you need for 10 or 20 bucks.

    Brake rotor replacement

    Follow the utube video by Thomas Brian, F550 rotor replace dually. Should be the same as your 450.

    Brake rotor replacement

    Your truck's factory lug count is 10. Older F450s 99-04 have 8. Front and rear rotors should be pretty easy and straight forward.

    Sound System Problem. bad noise

    I'm sure it's not your speakers. Do you have the factory head unit? Do you have external amps?

    Changing shocks

    I put new Bilsteins on my truck recently and it's been probably around 75,000 miles since the last set. Honestly, you can't tell much if any difference in the ride. I have a 6" lift and I think my truck rides just great. But, it is a total waste of money to put on any high dollar shocks or...

    Thanks guys! I'll get me some Jimmy Jammers and I think I'll do the key entry delete as well.

    Break-ins!

    Man, I tell you what... I just had my truck broken into and my $1000.00 Kenwood stolin. This is my second Superduty that has been broken into the same way...takes about 5 seconds to jam a screwdriver into the door lock, bend it down, breaking the plastic trim around the lock, and the door opens...
