    Auto hubs

    Took the truck to the dealer and found out my right hub seal wasn't holding vacuum so it wasn't engaging. And as we all know when one hub engages and the other doesn't all the power goes to the unlocked wheel due to less resistance so my front axle did nothing in 4x4. They also found my EGR...

    Auto hubs

    Just made an appointment to take the truck in on Monday to be looked at. I didn't see any problems with the vacuum lines so I'm thinking it's a more in-depth problem.

    Auto hubs

    How long does it take for the auto hubs to engage? Mine seem to take forever and usually I take the truck out of 4x4 before they engage. I had the hubs locked manually all winter but now that the main roads are clear due to seasonably warm weather here in Alaska I unlocked them to save gas.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    In the past couple weeks I have upgraded my Lightforce lights to HID, added a second set of HID Lightforce lights, added Recon Big Rig running lights, added a Recon Extreme LED tailgate bar. I also ordered Weathertec side window visors and a Wilson 1000 roof mount CB antenna. I'm going to take...

    6.7 Scorpion

    I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone. I always know more about the vehicle I am shopping for than the salesperson. I like to ask questions I already know the answer to just to mess with them. I really like when they try and tell me something stupid just to give me an answer.

    Options List Questions

    That sounds like exactly what I have. I have the chrome steps, fog lights, rear slider (which is useless since even with my monkey arms I can't reach from the driver seat), and chrome grille. I want to change to color-keyed grille, mirrors and door/tailgate handles.

    Rotella 15w40 at WM

    I was unaware that Delo 400 is a synthetic oil. I am running Rotella 5w40 synthetic and my truck really likes it, especially when temps drop below zero.

    6.7 Scorpion

    I'll wait until a 6.7 finds its way to the junk yard and then swap the driveline in place of my 6.0. I'm not real impressed with the looks of the new trucks.

    Options List Questions

    Just took the VIN to the parts counter and the printed out the list for me. It was pretty basic but was good enough for what I wanted to know. My main reason for getting the list was I wanted to know if the color-keyed bumpers were part of an optional package or a separate thing. I was...

    Help with factory fog lights

    Google Brite Box. It's a plug in conversion to keep the fog lights on with the high beams.

    Options List Questions

    I went down to the local Ford dealer and got an options list printed for my truck so I know exactly what equipment is on it. After looking it over I have a couple questions. The truck is a 2005 F250 crew cab short box. 1. Heavy duty alternator - what's the amperage? Mine has the HD...

    Remote start

    I'm going with SmartStart from Viper for my truck. It uses the iPhone as the remote and works anywhere the truck and phone have cell service.

    Aiming The Head Lights

    If it's like my 2005 there is a small torx screw that you turn to adjust the height of the lights. PArk the truck about 25 feet from a flat wall and aim the lights so they hit the wall just slightly below the height of the center of the light. Measure from the ground to the center of the...

    Is this the best deal out there on Recon Lights?

    I bought a Recon tailgate bar and big rig running lights from an ebay store called Performance Tuners. They have good prices and shipped my order out super fast.

    Putting in a sealed bid for an '85 Chevy Silverado???

    15 years ago I bought a 85 GMC 2500 High Sierra for $6000. At the time the truck was only 10 years old. Now you're talking about a truck that is 25 years old. Don't know if it helps but thought I'd throw that out there

    If he owned a Dodge he wouldn't be having head gasket issues.

    Exhaust Stacks?

    Over factory exhaust stacks may help a little bit but since it already has the Banks kit on it I would leave it alone. Banks does a lot of research to make sure their kits work well together.

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro with my student loan money. I will never go back to a PC. I have my my hard drive partitioned and Windows 7 installed on the smaller (50GB) partition only because some of my classes require Windows. Windows actually runs extremely fast and stable on a Mac. If...

    Factory fog lights not working after jump start

    Turns out the problem was as simple as a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse and no problem since.
