    The Best Leveling Kit?

    i used fabtech's front leveling kit for my 2000 f350, very nice kit, its only a shackle kit, so as long as you dont need the strength its a great kit, i dont do any snowplowing so i just went with the shackle kit, did get the dual shock option, that's pretty cool lookin also.

    EGT Install/help please

    you dont have to take the manifold off to do it, easiest way is to just leave the truck running whenb you drill and tap, the exhaust pushes the shavings right out, nice and simple.:thumbs

    What do I do?

    If you are goin to sand em out with 2000 dont go to far, only enough to get the scratches out, if they do come out, then you'll have to hit the spots with a good quality compound with a buffer, use a soft foam pad and you should be able to get them out with a fine cut compound, you can always go...

    What do I do?

    if you can catch your fingernails in the scratches then dont bother with any infomercial scratch removers, they dont work, just make it look worse, if you dont wanna pay a shop to do it right then get some touch up paint, maybe even get a shop to touch em up with base and clear, then wetsand em...

    fuel drip

    sounds like the orings on your fuel filter housing drain valve, common problem, i'm sure you can find threads on here all about it, the tube your talkin about sounds like the drain tube for the housing, orings are cheap, and its relatively simple to do. Hope this helps
