    Why do you love your Powerstroke?

    This is my first Powerstroke and I am really liking it. I have been wanting a diesel again since I traded in my 01 Dodge Cummins 2 years ago. At the time I couldn't afford a diesel so I went with a 1/2 ton hemi. Huge mistake. I finally had enough of the gasser and started shopping around...

    What is this? (On a Dodge)

    I used to own a Dodge Cummins but mine was the 5.9 instead of the 6.7. I have never seen anything like that before. It's definitely not factory. Perhaps a circulating coolant heater? And just to defend Dodge drivers, there are plenty of Ford and GM drivers that can't back a trailer either...

    truck badge glue removal

    I've heard that heating the glue up with a hair dryer makes it come off easier. I know in Phoenix during the summer it's really easy to remove badges.

    new baby

    Congrats man. I know from watching my niece and nephew (twins) that right after they're born is the last time the parents are smarter than the kids. Enjoy it while it lasts. LOL

    ride quality question

    Go to softer shocks up front. I don't know what setup you're using but a lot of people make the mistake of thinking they can take 2 of the shocks recommended for single shock applications and run them as duals. You need to reduce the pressure of the shocks or your 2 shocks are going to work...

    Freebie Mods

    It sounds like a good theory to me. LOL. Does the opening have to be as large as you made yours? I was thinking of just using a single downspout rather than piecing 2 together (if you don't mind me copying your idea, of course).

    Freebie Mods

    My bad. I saw the pictures Bama posted in his write up and noticed he used a larger steel mesh/screen. I completely spaced that you mentioned using scree you had lying around. My primary thought was that the holes in window screen material were too small to allow good air flow but if it's...

    Update had a siezure last night

    I'll be praying for you. That's terrible to hear especially when you have a son to worry about. I hope it's something as simple as stress causing it. It's incredible the damage stress can have on the body. Stress caused my dad to have a heart attack.

    Freebie Mods

    I'm going to check out doing the Zoodad mod. Has anyone ever used like window screen to cover the opening and keep the small bugs out?

    Freebie Mods

    So I did the high idle mod using one of the upfitter switches. That's pretty awesome that a mod like that can be one for free. Are there any other of these freebie mods I should look at doing?

    Gvw restrictions

    Those weight limits are directed at commercial vehicles which is why we have to go across scales and all the other good stuff. Only time I could see any law enforcement bothering you about being overloaded is if they deem you to be a threat to public safety. If you're going down the road...

    Light Mounting Tabs

    Does anyone know of a source for tabs/brackets for mounting auxiliary lights to the front bumper? I have a set of Lightforce Striker 170s that I want to mount on my front bumper but I'm trying to avoid drilling holes in the bumper. I have searched all over the internet and all I keep finding...

    Has anyone removed coin holder and installed factory aux switches?

    Are these the switches you're talking about? My truck is fitted with the Upfitter package and factory brake controller. I was very fortunate finding such a nicely equipped truck on the used market that hadn't been beat to crap. I just looked at ebay and there are a number of the Upfitter...

    Turbo Lag

    Thanks guys. Like I said I got used to the Cummins that seemed to build boost immediately and keeping building up to about 38 psi. I know the Powerstroke is different but it's difficult not to compare the 2 engines. Once the Powerstroke builds boosts it's definitely a lot quicker than my...

    Question What is the max temp I want EGT to get to?

    I don't know if this will actually help since the Powerstroke uses a different turbo design than the Dodge Cummins but everything I read when I owned my Cummins is that the impeller will start to melt at 1450 degrees. Because of that I had my Edge Juice set to start defueling at 1300 degrees...

    Turbo Lag

    I'm sure this has been covered a hundred times or more but I'm being lazy and decided to ask anyway so I apologize in advance. Is there anything that can be done to reduce the turbo lag on a stock 05 6.0 Powerstroke? Money is extremely tight right now so I'm looking for something as...

    Will stock 17" wheels from an '06 fit an '02?

    At some point early 2000s Ford switched from the standard 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern to 8 on 170mm. It is close but the 2 aren't interchangeable.

    Any experiences with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires?

    I am running C load range Duratracs on my Land Rover and they are great tires for all around use. I use my Land Rover for off road and the Duratracs really excel in mud and rocks when aired down. On road they are pretty loud but not as bad as a true mud tire. For my use I will put up with a...

    16" wheels

    It would seem to me that if they went to a more positive offset which puts the wheel further under the truck and the brakes deeper in the wheel, then a more negative offset would work also. The question would be whether the 16" wheel physically fitting over the brake calipers. The offset, in...

    HID/Projector headlight replacements?

    I haven't added HID to my SD yet but I ran them in the stock housings on my 07 Dodge Ram without a problem. The housing produced a surprisingly good cut off and didn't offend other drivers. I realize it's not the best way to do it but it worked well for me. Probably the most popular driving...

    Hello all

    I got ahead of myself and started asking questions before I even introduced myself. I apologize. I am on enough forums, mainly Land Rover related, that I should know better. (My second vehicle, which is my weekend toy, is a 97 Land Rover Discovery.) I recently traded in my 07 Dodge Ram 1500...

    CB Mounting

    I'm sure there is someone who has mounted a CB in a Super Duty and can suggest a good place in the cab. I have a 2005 F250 crew cab that I am wanting to install a CB in. I am leaning toward a Cobra 29 because I already have it sitting around.

    16" wheels

    Just bought my 2005 F250 with 17" wheels and wondering if it's possible to put aftermarket 16" wheels on. I have access to a set of nearly brand new 305/70R16 tires for next to nothing but obviously need 16" wheels to make them work.
