    Question Excursions, Good or Bad???

    Excursion I wasn't really looking for an Excursion when I was doing my truck shopping. I just kind of stumbled across them during my search. They look nice and the prices looked pretty good, so it got me thinking. I don't necessarily need that seating capacity. If the Excursion is 9000...

    Question Excursions, Good or Bad???

    During my online diesel truck shopping, I've come across a couple older (2000-2001) Excursions w/ 7.3L that look pretty nice (at least online so far) and at a pretty good price IMO. Besides the obvious negative of not having a bed, is there anything bad about the Excursions? Do they get worse...

    Question Used Diesel Shopping and Have Mileage Question??

    High mileage on a diesel truck Thanks for the input Dave. Do you know roughly what it would cost to rebuild one of these diesel trannys? What about the expense of rebuilding the diesel motor (or whatever typically wears out in them)? Trying to figure out some worst case scenarios if I did...

    Question Used Diesel Shopping and Have Mileage Question??

    I've been mostly web shopping so far, but I have a question. I've seen a few trucks online (not in person yet), but they have high mileage 170,000 - 215,000 depending on the vehicle. Should I shy away from these trucks and not even waste my time looking at them? Are they just asking for...

    What's a good year for 6.0's

    6.0 Questions So what did Ford do to the later models (that was different than early) to fix these problems? And just to confirm on another question. If you get these new ARP head studs and an EGR delete on the 6.0, does that (for the most part) make the 6.0 a pretty reliable truck (as...

    Question New to diesels. What are signs of a problem motor??

    I'll be shopping for a used diesel soon, and would like to know what are some signs of a problem motor and even tranny (things to look for)? For instance, it has been mentioned that the 6.0's have head bolt/gasket problems along with an EGR problem. How would I be able to tell if the truck had...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    Think I have the problem figured out now. I pulled out both front wheel sensors, and checked them out. They were both clean. I did notice on one of them (left one) that the protective coating over the tip had some small holes. Not sure if it was burn marks or not. Right one appeared to be...

    Question Salvage Title Questions????

    What exactly constitutes or determines a salvage title? I see a lot of trucks with a salvage title supposedly due to theft. Some of the trucks have very low miles and look in very good condition (already repaired). But how do you really know it was from theft and only minor damage? Is there...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    Steering wheel pulls to the right. Would it be the left front or the right front sensor that is the likely culprit and why? If I can get them out easily, I'll try cleaning like you said. Maybe i could even swap sides with the sensors to see if problem tracks with the sensor and know for sure...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    ABS help Yes it does. It only happens at very slow speed. Like I mentioned, I'm almost at a complete stop when it acts up. Pedal will pulsate along with some noise, and at the last second it will slightly pull my steering wheel to the right if I remember correctly. No ABS light ever...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    The rear is cheap, and I was thinking of trying that for a shot in the dark. I forgot that I have a Hypertech programmer that gives me DTC codes. I plugged it in, but it only gave me a code of P1000. From what I've researched that code says [Monitor checks not complete - More driving...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    I did some research in my Haynes manual and called for some prices. There is basically a: 1. Front speed sensor on each front hub ($188 a piece). 2. One rear speed sensor on top of rear differential ($28) 3. Computer/hydraulic control module ($809) 4. $90 just for dealer to...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    ABS Help Does that speed sensor on the rear differential also control the front brakes, or is there one on both the front and rear differential? Everything I feel is in the front end when the ABS acts up? Whatever it is, it causes the truck to pull to one side. I could definitely handle...

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    ABS Problem Thanks for the input. Do you have an idea of what the speed sensor costs, and whether it is hard to replace myself? I'm probably going to take it to a dealer to have them run a diagnostic test on it to be sure.

    Question '99-'04 Headlight Conversion to '05-'07

    So would you have the same adjustment issue even if you bought the OEM lights? Is it mainly the fact of not having the correct header panel?

    Question '99-'04 Headlight Conversion to '05-'07

    Thanks for the feedback. Which specific eBay company did you buy from? I don't like the fact of not being able to adjust the light if you want. I've never looked at my adjustment setup (so don't have a clue), but why are they not adjustable? How is the header panel involved with the adjustment?

    Help Needed Problem with my ABS brake system.

    I'm having a problem with my ABS brake system on my '01 F350 and could use some advice on what it might be. Sometimes when I'm doing regular braking and almost at a complete stop, my pedal will start to shudder and just pull the steering wheel to one side. It doesn't happen every time I brake...

    Anybody else have any experience with this? What does a set of OEM cost? Where to get them other than a dealership?

    Question '99-'04 Headlight Conversion to '05-'07

    Are these headlights listed on eBay any good? Does anyone have a set of these? Price seems pretty good compared to the factory OEM stuff. What is the real difference between the OEM and the eBay lights? 02 2002 FORD F250 F350 SUPER DUTY 07 HARLEY HEADLIGHTS:eBay Motors (item 380166330648...

    Question Anybody have the Skyjacker Z-Link Suspension on your '99-'04 ???

    '99-'04 Coil Conversion Kits I thought Skyjacker was the only one that offered the coil conversion kit (maybe they were just the first ones to introduce it and that is what I remember - I'm a little behind the times on truck stuff). Now I've found out that both Fabtech and Full Traction...

    New and need info. Which one to get 7.3L or 6.0L???

    As far as the inner guts of the engine, I don't really have any experience. My experience is basically the external bolt on repairs.

    Question Anybody have the Skyjacker Z-Link Suspension on your '99-'04 ???

    I'm just curious if anyone out there has the Skyjacker Z-Link suspension on your '99-'04 Super Duty? If so, what do you think about it? Kind of expensive, but gives you the option of having the coilover suspension like the '05 and newer. I'm wondering how smooth the ride is?
