    Oil Leak

    Do you by chance have a picture of where I could find this hose on the engine? I really don't want to spend more time than absolutely necessary under the tree since there is snow on the ground.

    bed plate oil leak

    I had to google what a bed plate is and found a good video of the leak repair procedure. All I was seeing the whole time I watched was dollar signs. The engine having to be removed to fix the leak really sucks. YouTube - Powerstroke 6.0lit Bedplate Seal Replacement HD

    Another ESOF 4X4 problem

    The HVAC switching to defrost is historically a sign of a busted vacuum line. Since you have checked all the vacuum lines I would inspect the hub seal to make sure they're holding vacuum like they should. My truck had a bad hub seal so I had to manually lock my hubs all last winter but I don't...

    Stock 6 Disc Stereo to RCA jacks?

    The item you need is called a speaker level input adapter. It takes the signal from your speaker wires (generally the rear speakers) and converts it to an output the the amp can you via RCA cables.

    Which GPS is right for me?

    I spent $250 on my Magellan and it doesn't do truck routing so that's really not a bad deal. If I get another driving job in the future I'll probably spend the money for the Garmin.

    sub box

    Crutchfield: LCD TV, Car Stereo, Home Theater, Speakers, Digital Cameras should have something to fit your needs. Another option is to google speaker boxes for your truck.

    First time installing a system

    The amp drives the speakers, not the other way around. In other words, a larger amp is going to put too much power to the speakers and blow them. A speaker capable of handling 150 watts being run at 150 watts is the as good as it gets. You're using 100% of what the speaker is capable of. If...

    Help Needed Shift on the fly not working properly

    I'm not that familiar with the vacuum lines and how they're routed but I would do as you mentioned and start at the wheels and work back to the motor that is mounted on the passenger side fender under the hood. What year is your truck? The fittings at the hubs have been known to fail...

    Oil Leak

    I know this is going to be kind of vague but hoping someone a lot smarter than I can point me in the right direction. I have an oil leak that is clearly from the rear passenger side of the engine. Looking up at the engine from the bottom I can see a lot of oil but can't really pinpoint where it...

    Help Needed Shift on the fly not working properly

    You have a vacuum hose busted. This was very common on these trucks when they first went to the pulse vacuum hub engagement system.

    Recon Xtreme Tailgate Bar Problem

    So far not impressed with Recon's customer service. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and never got a response. Then I called last week, was asked to email them some information which I did immediately and once again never got a response. Called again this morning and the only solution they...

    Recon Xtreme Tailgate Bar Problem

    Back in the spring I installed the 60" Recon Xtreme tailgate light bar on my truck. It looks awesome and I haven't seen any others in town with the scanning turn signals like mine has so that makes it even better. Here's the problem. It started out that all the reverse lights (tailgate bar...

    You forgot to mention the chrome fuel tank door to match all the black. That's the perfect finishing touch.

    Question Dynatrac Super Duty Upgrade Kit

    Would an upgrade like that still allow the use of the automatic hubs or would it be strictly manual? I can see a lot of advantages to the conversion but I'm not sure I want to give up the option to have the hubs lock automatically when I need it.

    Goodyear Duratrac Pics and Review!

    I have had my Duratracs for about 6000 miles and I'm very impressed. I have 285/70R17s. Traction on ice is great and off road they really shine. I consider the Duratrac a good compromise of all terrain and a mud terrain tire. The ride quality is a lot better than a true mud tire but the...

    What psi do ya'll run in the tires?

    I run 285/70R17 D-range tires at 65 psi. That is the max listed on the sidewall and gives a trade off of traction to fuel mileage. The larger tires will have higher weight capacity despite the lower load range rating. You shouldn't exceed the max psi listed on the sidewall. The idiots at...

    Automatic Headlights

    I guess my first attempt I didn't get the whole sensor covered like I thought I did. Seems to have worked this time.

    Electrical tape over the sensor doesn't seem to work.

    Automatic Headlights

    This question is totally because I'm lazy, no other excuse. I have the automatic headlights that come on once it starts getting back. Is it possible to bypass the ambient light sensor so the headlights come on with the ignition when the switch is in the auto position. I like to drive with my...

    Growling sound during steering

    Took the truck to the dealer and they confirmed it was the power steering hoses leaking. Of course my Ford Extra Care extended warranty didn't cover the lines but the repair costs the same as my deductible so I can live with that.

    Vent visors

    I have the dark tint Weathertechs on my truck and their great. Combined with the 15% tint on the windows and they look awesome. I find that for me they're dark enough to act as a visor like they're intended even with the window down. And the tight fit inside the window channel looks a lot...

    Growling sound during steering

    I recently noticed that when I make a right hand turn, especially at low speed, I get kind of a whining/growling sound. I also noticed something leaking from the engine bay on the driver side above where the trailing arm attaches to the axle. Any ideas? My first thought is a faulty pressure...

    comment HID's

    I have my headlights pointed down just a little lower than normal to try and keep from blinding as many people as possible. For those that choose to drive small cars or lowriders, well that's their choice and if you get blinded because I drive a truck too bad. I don't see HID lights going...
