    King Ranch Leather care recommendations?

    I've been using Smartleather on all of my leather seats. I tried Lexol, but it didn't seem to work as well. The Smartleather brought back the shine to my mystichrome seats. They were in need of some love when I bought the car. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    Help Needed blue - then black smoke at start up

    Blue smoke is usually oil and black is fuel. Since its just at start up it might be the valve seals. They allow oil to pass until they warm up and expand. As for the black my guess would be a rich mixture to get the engine fired up in the cold weather. Maybe a glow plug isn't working like it...

    How are the 6.7's

    I haven't put that much stress on mine yet. My boat is only about 5k. But the truck didn't know it was back there. I have had it back to the dealer once. But it was for some sensor. No issues otherwise.

    Question good batteries good starer good altenator low voltage wont turnover

    First thing I'd check are all the grounds. It sound like one of them is bad. Also, were the cables themselves replaced? Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    need paint advise for rims

    I'd have to agree on the powder coating. Painting will work though. It's all about the prep. Sanding and cleaning the surface to promote good adhesion.

    2017 Super Duty Trucks

    I wasn't that smart at the time. I was working for a contracting company they hired to drive the vehicles. Problem was you needed to be 21 to work there and I was 19. It took them a week to figure that out.

    2017 Super Duty Trucks

    I worked at the proving grounds in AZ for a week. That was fun. Got to beat up on Explorers before they were produced. Also saw the Lightnings rolling around the grounds. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    Gear numbers

    Thank you. That makes sense since I was going between manual and drive when towing my boat. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    Gear numbers

    When I was towing my boat last summer somehow I made the gear numbers appear on the dash. It's not the numbers for when you're in manual. I liked it, but eventually it turned itself off. Last night I was driving around and they came back. I have no idea what I did. I looked through the manual...

    7.3 overheating opinions

    I'm not sure about diesels, but I've been around gas engines that ran fine with blown head gaskets. Aside from the big white cloud of smoke behind the car. But no missing or anything. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    Got a head scratcher for you guys

    It has the automatic set up. At first I thought it had something to do with the remote start since it would happen after I used it. But then it happened without using the remote start. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    Got a head scratcher for you guys

    Once in a while when I start my truck there is air blowing from the vents. The thing is, nothing is turned on. The A/C, heat, and climate control is all off. The only way to stop it is to turn it on then turn it off again. And it's not like the air is blowing very hard. It's hardly noticeable to...

    Check Coolant Additive Warning.....

    There's probably more people like me. I tend to lurk and read a lot. I don't know a whole lot about these trucks so I can't offer much advice. And since my truck is newer I'm hoping I don't have to dive under the hood anytime soon. Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk

    Green Wrench Reduced Engine Power

    Do you have emissions testing where you're at? That's one of the reasons I still have mine.

    Looking for a new truck any advise welcome!

    Normal city driving I'm around 13-14mpg. The freeway up to my buddies place usually gets me 17mpg. I haven't done more than 30ish miles on the freeway unloaded. Driving to and from AZ I was just shy of 14mpg towing my boat. Which weighs about 5k and I had a regen on the way out. Plus I kept...

    No boost problem

    There's really only a couple of things that can cause a no boost situation. Obviously the big one is a bad turbo, but being new I'd rule that out. It is possible a pipe wasn't hooked up, but that would be noticeable because it would be loud. That leaves the blow off valve and waste gate. If...

    Buying a new truck. Opinions wanted

    IMO if you're looking at a gasser I'd look at the newer models with the 6.2L. I think the 5.4 is too small and under powered for a super duty. I had one in my 08 Expedition and was always thinking of ways to get more power out of it. Especially when towing my boat between California and Arizona.
