    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    So overall it sounds like you're pretty pleased with them? I was thinking of getting the 6000k because it said cool white. I want the absolute brightest i can get without having the blue tint. As far as install goes...pretty simple and straight forward?

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    I want to upgrade to HIDs on my truck. I've heard of retro solutions, but haven't heard much about them one way or another. What did you use? Are you happy with them? I just want a plug and play kind of setup to where I dont have to do a ton of modification.

    Fuel Economy Drop

    Not sure on the 6.0 filter setup being retro-fitted to the 7.3, but one very popular option that is pretty inexpensive is to go with the NAPA 6637 air filter. You basically remove the entire airbox, get a small piece of 4" pipe and a few clamps and set it all up. that will provide a TON more...

    Burning Rubber Smell

    Good morning...I also noticed this when I first got mine. I'm willing to bet your truck was in the middle of a regen where it heats up the exhaust really hot to burn off soot in the DPF (diesel particulate filter)...emissions stuff basically. Do you smell it all the time or just...

    Fuel Economy Drop

    Further to Trey's point...have you noticed any power loss at all? If the leak(s) are bad enough, you'll notice a significant power loss. I would also check your fuel pressure. You'd be amazed at how the improper fuel pressure can affect the way a 7.3 runs. A lot of times, the o-ring on...

    Which Tires?

    sounds about right. i think i a little over $13k off, got them to throw in bed extender, bed liner and tint on front 2 windows. old truck was paid for but I feel like i got a decent trade.

    Which Tires?

    I stayed stock. I'm sure the next size up wouldve looked cool, but at the end of the day, the stock size on these looks much better than the 265/75/16 did on my 7.3...my old one needed bigger tires just to look normal. For me, I didnt need the bigger size since I'm on pavement so much and I...

    rant Truck Broken Into...........

    After my old truck was broken into, I installed Jimmy Jammers. Someone tried breaking into the passenger side after i had them installed and failed. Within 2 weeks of getting my new truck...I installed them. Its a cheap deterrent. I'd reccommend picking up one of their tailgate locks...

    Automatic A/C woes...

    So I think this might have something to do with the dual zone climate control... I called a dealership inquiring about the interior temp sensor and they rambled off some part that was called an amplifier sensor for the interior temps... So, it made me think...what if i put it on DUAL mode...

    Question Mods for Colder A/C

    is there any harm in putting a valve in there that shuts the coolant flow off and letting it sit stagnant in there for 6 months at a time? seems like that could be a problem...

    Question Mods for Colder A/C

    has it been done on the 6.7?

    Automatic A/C woes...

    Will the ambient air temp sensor affect how the A/C runs though? (I feel like that's a stupid question...but nonetheless). I would think the interior temp sensor is the one that affects how much the HVAC system runs and at what temp, fan speed etc.:dunno

    Question Mods for Colder A/C

    Remember how we could wrap all the coolant lines and crompressor housing with aluminum foil tape to get the A/C colder on our 7.3s like in the article posted here: http://superdutydiesel.com/wiki//tiki-read_article.php?articleId=49 Has anyone tried this on the 6.7? I tried looking under...

    Automatic A/C woes...

    yea...almost would rather throw parts at it...at least i can return them if it doesnt work...if i take it to another shop, i wont be able to get an labor costs back. the problem lies in that when its set to MAX A/C...its blowing cold air out at around 42* so its within spec as for a ford/a shop...

    Automatic A/C woes...

    kinda what im wondering...but Ford scanned it for codes. wouldnt it have thrown a code if its malfunctioning? I'm kinda hesitant to start throwing parts at it...I hate doing that but might be what im faced with if i want to get it fixed...just dont want this to get expensive

    Automatic A/C woes...

    When I first got the truck approx 2 years ago, one of the things i was the most impressed with was how well it cooled. I used to be against setting a temp and letting it do its thing, but i've really grown to like it. This summer (and its been hot here in Houston) I feel like things arent...

    Transmission Temperature............???

    I see the same temps as well Tbar. Scared the crap out of me at first because i was used to seeing things run about +/- 30* cooler than that. Mine will run in the 190s whether its 30* or 130* outside.

    Which Tires?

    ended up going with the BFG A/T because the rugged terrains were on back order. the guy cut me a deal thought and i got them for less than i wouldve paied for the ruggeds...they're pretty sweet looking. dogman, what size did you get? I think the next size up for me wouldve been like a 295/55/20

    Which Tires?

    Time for new tires... I've narrowed it down to the BFG A/T or the BFG Rugged Terrains Stock size, 95% of the time the truck is on pavement. A/Ts are about $325 and the Ruggeds are $270 Your thoughts?
