    valve stem extension

    I need some type of valve stem extensions, whoever mounted my tires put the stems on the inside and not accessible. What are the dually guys running? Include a pic if available. Thanks

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    Yes, good catch there, I did do the trade, they gave me a hell of a deal on the price on the 2010. Saved me some money, got a 3yr/36k extended warranty. Either way its a 06 F-350 Dually, Crew Cab XLT 73,000 miles. This was the 4th truck I was looking at and drove the best out of all of them...

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    regen sucks, dpf sucks, there have been many issues with radiators, injectors, egr systems, poor mpg, lots of oil leaks, the list can go on. really no different that any new model engine for any car or truck. Like I said before, I like my 2010, but with pay cuts looming at work and out of...

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    I have equity in the 2010. The dealer I just went to would pay it off and give me enough extra for a good down payment on an 06 King Ranch 350 dually 70k miles and this would drop my payment and insurance $300 month. Haven't done anything yet, still undecided, but the money saved is tempting.

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    the only reason i'm considering the 6.0 over the 7.3 is they are readily available still clean and low miles compared to the 7.3. Its getting hard to find a "low milage" 7.3 these days. Thanks to the EPA, if it weren't for them, I bet it would still be around.

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    I dont plan on any tuners, maybe a cat back exhaust at the most. I have to say I love horse power and torque, but I think the tuners dramatically reduce the longevity of the truck. The only downside to buying used is that I dont know the history, other than a detailed inspection and road test...

    Considering trading 2010 for 2005

    I currently have a 2010 F-350 SRW, with a sick kid and possible cuts coming at work and bills mounting up, I'm considering trading my 2010 in on a 05 F-350 dually. That way I can still have a truck to use for hauling an travel trailer and other stuff around the house. I have had a 7.3 before...

    dpf fines

    Taking the dpf off is really no different than speeding, thats illegal right and probably everyone here does it and many dont get caught, and many do. If you get caught, you might pay a fine, maybe let go, who knows. If I had the money, it would be gone. In Ohio we are exempt from emisions...

    02 7.3 issues, not drivable

    OK, looked over electrical connections, they seem clean, no gunk build up in them. Tried another code scanner and no codes found, no CEL today. Truck still wont stay running, seems like its starving for fuel. NO smoke from exhaust. It will turn over and start, very rough idle like missing...

    02 7.3 issues, not drivable

    I was just over my brothers house to check on his truck, its an 02 f250 7.3. He hasn't driven it in a few weeks and went to use it yesterday and its was difficult to start and has very rough idle, seems like its missing cylinders. There is NO exhaust smoke, no white or black as I expected...

    DPF Acting Retarded

    Sounds like a reflash is needed.

    cruise control problem please help

    brake light on? also you only voided the warranty of the associated parts that were modified, so they cant throw out your whole warranty , just the affected parts.

    Egr

    exactly, EGR and all related EGR parts are covered under 5yr/100k warranty if you still have the milage to go.

    Question 6.4 Regen frequency

    thats way too much, depending on your fuel quality and driving habits, that still seems way too much. Have the dealer reflash, I'm usually in the 700 mile range on my regens.

    Missing-hesitating in rain?

    There was actually a tsb on this issue regarding trapped moisture inside the intercooler, do a search for it, i believe it came out in mid-late 09. Found it the TSB is 08-25-01 http://www.thedieselgarage.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=16291&d=1232503959

    A few questions about the new powerstroke?

    I've had a 6.4 for over the past 3 years and the only problem I had was an EGR valve went bad, fixed under warranty. My 08 F250 would easily avg. 17-19 mpg and my current F-350 is avg. 15 mpg but its brand new, not broke in yet. I used to plow snow with my 08 and I'd idle it for up to an hour...

    traded in my 08

    Traded in my 08 yesterday. The dealer bought it back and gave me a good price + A-plan and current rebates for a new 2010 and its cheaper than my old truck, go figure. I will miss the 08, it was a great truck and I had no issues in the 3 years that I owned it. Hope the new one will serve just...

    Changed oil and drained 6 gallons?

    wow, thats a lot. The best way if you have noticed nothing in performance over heating issues have it sent out and analyzed. I've heard of leaking injectors, but that much one would assume that there would be drive-ability issues.

    EGR replacement

    Its right on top of the motor with so its easy to get at, since your out of the 100k warranty per your sig, try taking it off and cleaning it before replacing, I think its a few hundred bucks for the egr valve which is also on national backorder from Ford. I just had mine replaced under...
