    Starting Issues

    Hey Fireman - I had the EXACT same problem. It never left me stranded, but it sure had me worried. Anyway, I went and bought a couple new batteries (figured it couldn't hurt anything as they were 4 years old) and it solved the problem. No more hesitation starting up. How old are your...

    Headlight mods?

    Big K - thanks for that link. I'm going to go get a diode tomorrow. I was wondering how to do that cheap.

    Got an electrical stumper

    I had similar symptoms - even had a thread about it somewhere around here. Anyway, a couple new batteries later and everything's fine.

    Sonnax mod

    I guess I'd rather support a sonsor, all things being equal. But, who is Garrett? Is there a list of sponsors?

    Sonnax mod

    Thanks for all the good advice on modding my headlights. Now, does anyone have a good place to buy the Sonnax/Tricumulator kit? I'm about to take the truck in to have the tranny flushed and was going to have them put the kit in at the same time. Any idea about what they should charge to...

    Headlight mods?

    I got through to the GOS site no problem.

    Headlight mods?

    Excellent. The SUVLIGHTS site said something about needing two harnesses for trucks with two batteries - do I need two of these harnesses? Also, what can I upgrade the bulbs to?

    Headlight mods?

    Hehe - an all-Texas thread...............

    Headlight mods?

    That's it. Thanks. I remember seeing a wiring diagram so you could build the new harness yourself, but at $100 for the SUVLIGHTS, it may not be worth it.

    Headlight mods?

    Over at another site (that I'm not allowed on anymore), I remember seeing a mod that replaced the wires going to the headlights. THis allowed more powerful bulbs to be used. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I want more light, what is the best way to get it? Thanks. James

    Starting question

    Hey 95 - sorry I never updated this. I went and bought a couple new batteries - Motorcraft's with 850 cca (I believe). I didn't realize how low the batteries had gotten - one had a crack in the case. The engine spins amazingly fast during start up now. In any case, I haven't seen any...

    Your Fuel Mileage

    23-25? Wow, I wish. I get 15.3 overall - I've been tracking it for almost 2 years. The best I ever got was about 18. But, that could have been due to over or underfilling the tank. I've got a SB CC 4x4 with 3.73's. No mods, but running 285's.

    Battery choice

    Yellow Top Optimas? Nice, but you're right - a little expensive. As a general rule - is the higher the CCA the better?

    Battery choice

    What brands have gel cells?

    Battery choice

    I'm sure there's a battery thread around here somewhere, but I must have missed it. Ok, I need some new batteries for my truck. I want to be able to pick them up, so no mail order. What brands do you use?

    Starting question

    2002 F250 7.3 This weekend, after sitting for 2 1/2 days, I went to start my truck. After starting, the speedo and tach both pegged themselves at the max for a second and then dropped back down to normal - I didn't see what the rest of the guages did. Normally, they just rise to the normal...

    My Wally world only sells Fram.

    Oil Filter Manufacturers

    Thanks. I have always used Wix, but I've started hearing good things about Motorcraft. Since they are almost $10 cheaper I wanted to switch. Just wanted to check first.

    Oil Filter Manufacturers

    I know that WIX and NAPA oil filters are made by the same manufacturer. What other filters are the same? Who makes Motorcraft? And here is the loaded question - which ones do I definately want to stay away from?

    Fuel Capacity

    Harpoon the tank? Hmmmm, I don't think so - at least not purposely.

    Fuel Capacity

    I have a 2002 CC 7.3 4x4. Supposedly, it'll hold 29 gallons of fuel. I've discovered that if I trickle the fuel in, I can add 5 more gallons of fuel after the pump clicks off. So, my question is - at what point am I reaching the 29 gallon capacity of the tank, at the pump click off or after...

    Tranny fluid question

    This was asked at a non-truck forum I go to - any one know the answer? "Does anyone know what type of fluid goes in a Borg Warner transfer case on a 94' F350? I just bought this at auction and there is no manual to refer to. Would it use 80/90 gear lube or transmission fluid?"

    Chrome Package on 2006 F250 Lariat

    So, they put a chrome Harley grill onto the Lariat? Nice. I've thought about doing that, but wasn't sure what it'd look like. I like it.
