    There might be a 2011 in my future...

    The one I'm more than likely getting has the 3.55 gears because of the 20 inch rims (dont ask me why the package it that way). I love my 7.3...but these new ones are just awesome. There were 2 i was looking at. One had a build date of 10/10 and the other of 5/11. i figure there could have...

    There might be a 2011 in my future...

    Well...I hate to say it, but I might be trading up here soon. I love my 7.3, but its gotta be replaced at some point... I drove the new ones yesterday and the salesman told me that to upload music to the hard drive in the truck...you can only do it using cd's. That seem right? Seems like...

    ac compressor shim

    Started getting sluggish turning over last night and today. .went to orileys to have things checked out...alternator was bad! Swapped it out...blower is back to normal and a/c seems better. Since I was there, they had an a/c pressure gauge they let me borrow to check the Freon level...it...

    ac compressor shim

    Alrighty. That was a piece of cake. There was actually a washer inside the housing and I took it out. Here's what I'm noticing...there is still some strange groaning/humming noise at idle(I can't even begin to tell you how irate I'll be if it's a turbo). My blower doesn't seem to blow as...

    How to remove only a quart of oil?

    I've had to do it...and it aint easy. In fact, its messy. Try loosening the bolt enough for oil to start leaking out. You could try and catch about a quart by letting it drip...slow and tedious but it might work. Other option would maybe be to remove the filter? I dont know if oil...

    High pitched squeal, sounds like bad turbo

    just a thought... check your intercooler boots and make sure they are clean, oil free, uncracked, and tight.. Your symptons liken themselves to this issue as well.

    Question Oil pan hard replacing? Leaking, Not gasket, Puncture.

    to do it right, you need to pull the motor and thats probably why it is so expensive.

    Vehicle Height

    yes, i'll agree with you on the hood being higher...it undboutedly is. I was next to one on the way home yesterday and it looks like the front fender has less height to it to allow more height for the hood and more space in the wheel well.

    Vehicle Height

    Thats kind of what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. It almost seems like the ones with 20" rims sat higher and therefore were taller. Just trying to make sure the old boy would fit everywhere I drive mine now. I gotta flush all the details out before I can think about pulling the trigger :sweet

    Question Anybody ever had to work on their sunroof?

    my guess would be that your whole headliner needs to come down to properly access everything.

    Vehicle Height

    ok, then height difference in the 17" vs. the 20"

    Vehicle Height

    Does anyone know how tall a 2011 F250 SRW 4x4 with the 20" rims is? Ford's website shows it to be 79.7" which is just a hair under 6'8" but that is "without options." I would guess that this is only with the 16 inch rims. Anyone have measurements for the the 20" rims?

    Fuel economy question

    correct me if i'm wrong, but I think it changes to winter around october time, and back to summer around the april-may timeframe

    Fuel economy question

    What is more than likely happening is the blend of fuel is changing from summer to winter blend in the fall and vice versa in the spring. the summer blend has a higher cetane rating and will yield better fuel efficiency, while the opposite is true for the winter. It is not at all uncommon to...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Well, after the I/C Boot on the passenger side blew off 2 times in the past couple of weeks, i finally broke down and bought the new ones from dieselsite. Got them installed last night...they are a little longer than the stock ones so you have to massage them to get it to fit, but all in...

    Diesel leak?

    check the o-ring seal on the fuel filter bowl to make sure the lid is seating properly. pressure will bleed off the heads and back towards the tank. other thing to check would be your FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator), located just in front of the fuel bowl. make sure fuel isnt leaking from...
