    Which gauges to pick

    See, BigJoe and DaveBen, that's EXACTLY why I think we are talking about apples and oranges! I doubt that I am as experienced as you, but I might be just as old as you, so don't go playing the AARP card on me now, ok? :) 'Cause I get their bulletin too. "Sitting is the new cancer" is on...

    Which gauges to pick

    This seems to be evolving into an apples and oranges discussion. I think I totally understand and fully agree what DaveBen is trying to say about the fundamental purpose of a good guage: to report accurate and actual measurements as they are dynamically changing in real time. But I still...

    batteries dead after sitting 2 weeks with newer diehard platnums

    The OP said he has Sears DieHard PLATINUM batteries, which are not lead acid... they are Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM). As such, the given freeze points relative to the state of discharge for standard batteries probably will not directly apply. One of the benefits of AGM batteries is having a much...

    Which gauges to pick

    What is it about the Ford that you find to be "no good"? Some people complain about the Ford tranmission temperature guage having a latency as well as a non-linear indication... ie, the needle only goes to hot when there is REALLY a problem, otherwise it just stays in the "normal" range...

    Which gauges to pick

    I have a triple pillar with old school Banks guages (boost, pyro, trans) that are housing face illuminated. Yuck! Banks makes great stuff, but way back then, the guages on the market are not what they are today. One of my gauges has a face whose diameter doesn't reach all the way to the...

    Question Headlight swap between different models

    Looks good! Very interesting... what they sent you was NOT the same as what they depicted in their picture on their eBay ad. The difference is in the lower parking light lens. So the "look" I was talking about doesn't apply to the G-Force product after all.

    Help Needed Sitting on Shoulder Help

    I have the exact same vehicle (2000 F550) so I feel like I should try and help, even though I lack expertise. Where are you? Are in in northern CA? Is the oil you saw on the driver's side breather... is that a cause of the problem, or merely a coincidental condition? Mine weeps oil there...

    CCV Fumes............

    Somehow water vapor is a large enough constituent of crankcase aerosol to be of some concern in cold weather, or so the engineer at Racor explained today. Much of what he said went over my head... but here is what I understand so far: If operating in very cold conditions, the water vapor in...

    Racor CCV filter

    Long term report on Racor CCV3550-FRD-02 Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but at least I'm not being lazy and making full use of the search tool! As recently as today I have confirmed with the CCV design engineer at Racor that the difference between the FRD-01 and the FRD-02 is that...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    :sweet Thanks for the iNSTANT iTHINGY response! I suspected this, but your confirmation is exactly what I needed. Especially since I recently went to Harbor Freight when their lights were on sale for $10 a pair and bought some more cheap lights! Will I ever learn? Fortunately I haven't...

    Question Headlight swap between different models

    Factory alternatives to G-Force I have the exact same look of the G-Force light set up shown in your link in my 2000 Super Duty. What distinguishes this look from the clear corners that Big Joe posted is that the clear corners are not just clear in color, they are also clear in lens...

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    I'm very interested in how your new "KC Back Up Lights" compared to the round par lamps you had previously. I mounted those round par lamps, like we see on tow trucks, and they were so yellow/dim that I added 4 more. Yikes... when I throw it in reverse it must look like oncoming traffic from...

    New Member Doing what I'm told!

    :) Wow... I'm overwhelmed with your welcomes. :hail What a nice board! ;tu A lot of you have asked "where on earth" I found "such a gem" of a truck with so few miles. I actually stumbled across it right in my own backyard. Literally. My own backyard. Practically tripped over it all the...
