    05-07 Grille upgrade on 99-03

    Pretty swooft. I like the fact that it tells what condition the hood comes in. Is there a way (I know there is...but how) to paint something like this at home...without a paint booth and all the fancy/pro painting gadgets?? Oh...I got one of those "list of things to get too". The thing...

    05-07 Grille upgrade on 99-03

    Thanks for checkin that out;tu I think I'm going to have to afford a hood before I can do this though. I was touching up the paint chips on my hood and I wound up losing another 3"x3" piece of paint. Why is it the hood paint is the one always to go first?!?! I'm thinking about going ahead and...

    YouTube - 7.3 exhaust This is what my exhaust sounded like when I had an uneven idle

    Injectors getting louder. Is one on the way out?

    No, anyone with a snap-on diagnostic tool can buzz the injectors. Transmission shops or a local diesel shop (which I would reccomend going to them vs a transmission shop anyways) usually has them. Sometime you can get a free scan from them if you are a regular customer, but the most I have been...

    cam sensor?

    We all know Big Joe likes punctuation:D I agree with Joe here...sounds like a fuel problem. I've had a similar issue (sluggish, then taking off). Filled up the tank thats was already on a quarter....and added some diesel treatment. Cleared up after running it for a day.

    Injectors getting louder. Is one on the way out?

    You can always have the injectors buzzed to see...??? I also had an uneven idel, I could hear it throught the exhaust. I think my fix for it was unplugging the ICP sensor (wiped it off) and let my truck idel without it for about 15min. I also changed my oil from valvolin 10-40 to rotella 15-40.

    What the heck is this

    "The AIC in 2005-up PSDs is now called SEIC. Stationary Elevated Idle Controller. It's standard - built into the PCM. But it requires some wiring to get it to work, and it helps if you also have the optional Upfitter Switches. " Quoted this off another site. Whether its right or not :dunno

    Cutting an 05 grill to fit a 99-04 - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums Have to go down the page to see the how-to part posted. I didn't read any of it (yet) but my biggest concern would be the chrome flaking. Wonder if they got some way to keep it sealed around the edges.

    Question Banks Cold Air Kit

    I personally dont reccomend banks for the simple reason of the higher price for something you can get equal to or better for less money. I think for a stock truck...you should be fine with a stock intake. Fill in your sig so we can help you out better. Go to the user cp and edit signature.

    Desperate, need help with smoking

    I was trying to help a guy out on yahoo answers with the same problem...I dont think he ever figured it out. If you was pulling oil from the turbo....I would imagine you would see a NOTICEABLE increase in oil consumption. I know I did....1-2 qts in a day. Anybody think it could be from the...

    Batteries loose power after parked a while

    I'm still tracking down my problem.... So far (as best as I can tell) its one of my fused auxillary wires. I de-fused my wires one day...let it set over night and the battery drain seemed to go away. Are you using a load tester? I went to bumper-to-bumper and they used one that they also had...

    :sweet.... When my dad would pack tools for a job that was several hundred miles away, he would be like "I don't think I'll need this". And I would go back behind him and pack it anyways because its always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

    How would my truck do with stock size tires?

    I really dont know. But a guess....if you didn't specify your tire size and/or gearing, then they probably programmed it for stock tire size. So if your gearing-to-tire size ratio is correct for STOCK....then the programming is right for your current set-up.

    Yea...those are the guys I found on an older post. Price has come down some. Thanks Mike!!;tu They show a video installation on an 03 excursion and its a direct replacement...no adjustments. I'd offer $200....but I'll start at $150:D

    Is there a "better" starter/7.3

    Took the batteries off to get them tested at bumper-to-bumpe....just figure out I'm behind in the game. They got a little hand held thing (about twice the size of a volt meter) that can load test the batteries. Both tested out good. Let me back track to last night.... Took the fuses out of...
