    You will be OK, but carry an extra fuel filter. Bio cleans out you r fuel system. It should not be too big of a problem as your truck is not too old.

    Truck surges on startup from cold, fine after running a few minutes

    Surging is what we call this. You are running 15 W40 oil I woud bet. Switch to 5 W40 oil and the surging will stop. You can run 5 W40 oil all year long without a problem. Happy Thanksgiving!

    New Owner! Howdy

    No problem, just faster tire wear.

    New Owner! Howdy

    Typical 4wd tire wear. These front axels have a "lot" of tilt out, that is the tires are farther from center at the top than the bottom. This causes this tire wear.

    Best Oil for Engine Life

    I used Rotella 15-40in my truck. Worked great, once it was warmed up. I had the romps with this oil. Switched to 5-40 and never had a problem.

    Question Hard cold start

    Your engine needs to turn over at 500 rpms, at least, for the FICM to fire the injectors. Less than that it will not start. Yes, check your batteries. 5 years old is usually the end of a battery in a diesel.

    Despite the Rumors I am still alive

    My whole thing started with a sore-ish throat. I watched for a few days and them made an appointment with an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctor. He slid a medical camera down my nose and saw the "sore" on my vocal cord. That started it all. If ANYONE feels any sore that might be cancer, go...

    Friday my F-350 leaves me

    I don't think so, at least not right now. I am almost 70 years old and I just don't need it. Maybe a Ford Ranger or Toyota truck.

    Friday my F-350 leaves me

    I have sold my F-350 to a friend. The truck will be going to the foothills of the Sierras to it's new owner. I have had a truck every day in my life since 1971. That is a while! I am sure my truck will be missed. Going to a very close friend who needs a truck like this one.

    New to Diesel - Questions

    You can use any oil weight that works with your engine (owners manual) as long as the oil is Diesel Rated. I used to use 15W-40 but I got romps when it got cold soI switched to 5W 40 and it runs perfectly. I have a different engine so what works for me might not work for you. I don't know...

    New to Diesel - Questions

    Maintenance is the key to a long engine life. Do your own oil and filters per the schedule in the maintenance book. This should get you many miles. I have been doing my own since I bought my 2004 F-350 in late 2003. I have not yet needed to change the injectors or the pump. The salesman's...

    No rear lights

    You might have a bigger problem than you think. I had the same problem on my 2004 F-350. The running lights would blow a fuse. I replaced over 10 fuses while I looked to find out what the problem was. I searched the entire wiring harness from front to rear. I looked for rat chewing...

    Bump Steer

    I had a 1946 Jeep CJ-2A that I totally rebuilt from the ground up. I dropped a Buick V6, Turbo 400 Auto tranny, 4 wheel disc brakes and a 6 inch lift. After I did the 6 inch lift I noticed bump steer. After a couple of bumps I got used to it and I never changed to a dropped steering arm. I...
