    Factory fog lights not working after jump start

    Thanks for the responses. I used the battery charger at my work to do the jump start. Going to check fuses right now and if that isn't the problem I'll pull the bulbs out and check them when I get to work can have a warm shop to work in.

    Factory fog lights not working after jump start

    I installed my 4 new Lightforce HID lights last night and while working my weak batteries drained to the point of requiring a jump start. Before the jump start all lights worked fine, after the jump start my factory fog lights won't turn on. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced...

    Cummins vs. Iveco - Could be interesting

    If this proves to be true and Dodge ceases using the Cummins engine it will be a death nail to Chrysler. Truck sales is a huge part of their business and the majority of Dodges sold have the Cummins under the hood. Ford would be foolish not to try and capitalize on this and get the Cummins...

    Question 4x4 not working 6.0

    Try manually locking the hubs and see if that changes anything. If so then I'll agree with the others that you have a vacuum leak at the hub.

    Question edge vs superchip

    I really like Edge products. I found being able to adjust the chip on the go to be very beneficial.

    New Owner - Used Super Duty

    Welcome to SDD. The Super Duty will pull your trailer like it's not even there.

    CB antenna's

    Wilson 1000 or 5000 antenna mounted on the roof is the way to go. Both are great antennas but the 5000 has higher power handling capability. Either is more than enough for a stock radio.

    CB mounting options

    I finally went with mounting my CB where you mentioned at the bottom of the dash. Made sure it was far enough over to not interfere with opening and closing the driver side glove box.

    Question Sub woofer enclosure

    Check out crutchfield.com. They have a couple different sub boxes specific to the SUper Duty to choose from

    New gears?

    What do you use your truck for? If you actually use the truck for towing/hauling then stay with the 4.10s. The lower gears will give better performance with a load. My 05 with 3.73 turns about 2100 rpm at 75mph. The little bit of fuel you'll save by changing gears isn't enough to justify the...

    35s with Stock Suspension

    Does a 1 ton sit higher than a 3/4 ton? I've parked next to a 1 ton and I couldn't see any height difference.

    33" tires on stock f-250

    My brother-in-law is running 305/70R16 (33x12.5) on factory alloy rims on his 2003 SD with no problems.

    35s with Stock Suspension

    Is it possible to put 35 inch tires under my 2005 F250 FX4 with the stock suspension? I know they will fit with a leveling kit but I'm afraid of the way it will look since my truck seems to sit pretty level now.

    My First Diesel

    Very nice looking ride. That diesel will pull a trailer all day long and ask for more. My 05 6.0 Powerstroke pulled a 7000 pound trailer through the Canadian Rockies on my way to Alaska and it never even slowed down.

    Wtf

    With no mixing of oil and coolant I would rule out a head or head gasket issue. Also with no coolant loss that tells me your heads/gaskets are fine. I really don't understand the rust in the intake unless you're sucking in some really humid air. Your rough idle and miss could be caused by a...

    37 x 13.50 x 17

    Worse case is you'll have to adjust the steering stops a little to compensate for the extra width. I really don't see any reason they won't work if a 12.5 wide tire will.

    Question Excursions, Good or Bad???

    The question is really whether you need a large SUV like an Excursion? You really can't make a direct comparison of a Super Duty and an Excursion since they are not intended for the same thing. The Excursion is extremely heavy at nearly 9000 pounds so fuel mileage will suffer as will overall...

    coverting a f250 diesel from 2wd to 4wd

    You'll spend more getting all the parts you need to do the conversion than the you paid for the truck. if it were me I would trade the truck for a 4x4 and forget about converting it.

    F-250 King Ranch FX4 max tire size

    305/70R16 fit with room to spare under an 03 so I would imagine the 305/65R18 should fit. Only thing I think that might be an issue is rubbing on the trailing arm at full lock but the steering stop can be adjusted to fix that.

    Stroke vs. Cummins?

    Having owned both a 24 valve Cummins and now a 6.0 Powerstroke I thought I'd chime in. The Cummins has better low in since the turbo spools up sooner than the Ford so it will get off the line a little quicker. But once the Powerstroke's turbo is spooled up it will run away from a Cummins...

    Extreme Truck Repair ( good music)

    Last time (and only time so far, knock on wood) I had my truck to the dealer for service I noticed they had the cab pulled off a Super Duty. Never realized that was SOP for the 6.4. I hate to think what that will cost the customer when the warranty expires.

    So I got bored this morning and decided to make a new desktop picture. What does everyone think?

    I'm only at 74000 on my 05. Hoping to make it to 500,000 miles though

    built in tool box???

    I have thought about copying the toolbox option that Nissan has on the Titans (which is a copy of the 60s - 70s Fords). Not a huge box but enough to put chains, straps and small tools.
