    got the "wrench" symbol today

    I never had to bleed my 7.3 or 6.0. Am I understanding that when I change the filters in my 6.4 I'm going to need to bleed the fuel system? :dunno

    Snow packing of air filter/air induction Bulletin

    they had this problem with the early 7.3's and fixed it in later years. You mean they did it again? Great job engineering there Ford!!!! I guess it doesn't snow up there in Michigan.

    New DPF reprogram by Ford

    I had mine done last Wednesday. I took it for a 65 mile ride, albeit not on an interstate, back roads, up and down hills and a few stop lights. I did not notice any difference at all. I have to calculate MPG to see if there were any changes there. But the biggest concern is that during that...

    Biodiesel content in 6.4l

    I am hearing that some states (in my case PA) will be mandating no less than 10% bio in a few years. What's up when one cannot get 5% or less?

    cb radio locations and pics needed

    check out the electronics/audio forum for a discussion over there wrt BC radios. I personally am going to put in a Cobra 75WX. The radio is contained in the michrophone. There is small box that I can mount behind the dash and the mic plugs into that. Only a small hole needs to be drilled...

    Anyone else experiencing issues with radio?

    I have the "premium" radio with Sirius and Nav. I am experiencing two issues: I periodically loose satellite signal. I have lost it riding down the interstate and a few times in a parking lot. I understand the line of site issue. The times I am concerned about are when there is...

    F450

    N.J. Manufacturers Ins. (only available in NJ and PA); $ 857.00 per year. Not much difference than my F-350 was.

    New DPF reprogram by Ford

    mine is going in next week for the computer update. I took the truck in about month ago and they fixed the radiator as that fix was not installed. Don't know what happened there; I never got a letter for that. Will let y'all know how it runs after the update.

    Where do I find

    Whippany. My `99 came with the cord even tho I did not order the block heater. Somewhere around `00 or `01 Ford stopped installing the cord unless the heater was ordered. Knowing that, when I ordered my `06 I made sure I ordered the heater. I took this truck off the lot. So I don't have...

    Where do I find

    haven't found the cord, no. guess it ain't there. i bought the truck off the lot so unless the block heater was part of a package it wasn't ordered as it isn't listed on the window sticker.

    Where do I find

    I'll poke around some more tomorrow.

    Where do I find

    OK. One last question. Where is the block heater located on the motor?
  13. `08 BlueCrew

    Where do I find

    Looked. No cable. Is it still Ford policy to put in the block heater but only provide the cord is the block heater is ordered? I bought this truck off the lot and Block Heater is not on the option list & I am not in one of the 10, what Ford considers, cold weather states.

    Where do I find

    the plug for the engine block heater? i tried searching but could't find anything.

    New truck and your opinions and sugestions

    An F-250 would easily handle a 12K trailer, my MOHO is to go with the F-350 with 3:73's. That will have plenty of towing capability to have a buffer and still offer some needed fuel economy. You definitely want the tow package. Look into the Integrated Brake Controller. My last two trucks...

    Looking at new diesel trucks - want unbiased input

    I had a `99 7.3L F-250. Then an `02 GMC Duramax 3500. Missed my Ford so I went back to an `06 F-350 6.0L Dually. Did a great job but made a lot of funny noises when towing. Took it in for service and left with the `08 F-450 in my signature. Of all of them, I like the 6.4L the best. Sure...

    Question Oil Question

    I haven't changed back, I have thought about it a few times but haven't. I have read in the past (3 or 4 years ago) that the government allows an oil to have as much as 75% fosil oil and still be sold as synthetic. At that time Rotella's synthetic was not 100% synthetic. As such I use AMSOIL...

    Acceleraton Question

    Well after 10 years of owning turbo PSD's, I think I know how to drive a turbo diesel. However, there are times when you get into a situation where you either "mash the gas" or get hit.

    Acceleraton Question

    When I had my 6.0 and stomped on the accelerator I remember it took a second or two for the turbo to spool up and then the truck took off. When I stomp on my 6.4 still takes a second or two for the turbo but it lurches forward, stops, lurches forward again, stops, then it finally takes off...

    Question Does anyone use Z-Max?

    thanks
  23. `08 BlueCrew

    Question Does anyone use Z-Max?

    I use a full synthetic oil in my 6.4L PSD. Is Z-Max worth it or is this just another snake oil product. I've never used Z-Max but see it advertised quite a bit lately.

    shakey ride

    that is not what i am experiencing. my truck tracks just fine. when the tire hits a rut i the road it gets thrown one way of the other. :rant i wish there was a way for me to know which way it would be thrown so i could prepare for it.

    shakey ride

    I agree. Only time it gets scary is when I get in those ruts and I'm in the center lane with a vehicle on either side. :eek:
