    Question Driving Tips for Towing and MPG

    My rule of thumb has been (I've had this truck for almost 9 years) is if there is something connected to the hitch (a trailer, not my hitch-packer) it's in Tow/Haul Mode. This is even with my ~1000lb IH Cub Cadet on my 5x8 Flatbed trailer. Or depending on conditions as I listed above.... The...

    Question Driving Tips for Towing and MPG

    I actually use Tow/Haul mode in all kinds of situations...... In winter (I'm in Central Indiana, so it does get cold here) I will use THM to keep the RPM's up to help warm the engine faster. I have also used it while driving in snow for more control over the available speed and power in 2x...

    Unusual Front End (Axle) Noise

    OK, Finally getting back here to wrap this one up. Between having to wait on the tax check, finding/ordering parts and my buddy and I having a free weekend at the same time, this took a bit to accomplish. So, I ordered the new vacuum seals, o-rings and needle bearings for the hubs (just in...

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    This is a fairly common problem. My 03 is doing the same thing. There are 4 or 6 resistors on the board that look like chicklets, and over time the solder comes loose and they start having intermittent connection, and finally they fall off. I need to take the console down and fix the...

    Unusual Front End (Axle) Noise

    OK, Fellas, Does anyone have the part number for the Axle Hub Vacuum Seal..... I'm having trouble finding a part number to be able to cross reference. Or am I lucky and this is a Ford/Dana-Spicer only part? I found a whole kit, which for the price contains a good amount of stuff...

    Unusual Front End (Axle) Noise

    OK, here is an incremental update on my noise. Talked with a buddy at work who is a Jeep Nut (so much so the license plate on his TJ is "JEEPNUT") and he and I were discussing this today. With his 4x4 habit, is is friends with the fella who runs the shop at our local 4 Wheel Parts shop. He...

    Unusual Front End (Axle) Noise

    I hope not, both front hubs are about 6 month old Timkin's with about 10,000 miles on them. Could they go bad that quick?

    Unusual Front End (Axle) Noise

    OK fellas, I've been chasing this one for a bit, and am needing a fresh brain to ponder on it. I have looked, and not gotten any definite answers (and afraid to post it on fb, because I am sure like the last time I said something about an issue, I was told it was bad head gaskets, which it...

    Help Needed blue - then black smoke at start up

    No problem. This is the 8th winter I've had mine. Trust me, the first winter, I had plenty of questions. Now, if I put the key in it and it starts and runs, as long as the smoke clears quickly, I never give it another thought......

    Help Needed blue - then black smoke at start up

    How cold? I have an 03 with 160,000 and when it's below 20F it will let off a blue puff when it starts, and like yesterday when it was 9F it smoked blue for nearly the first minute. These are not block heater starts. It smokes blue because the engine is cold and the fuel does not burn...

    7.3 overheating opinions

    Sure is a small world. When did you live in Indianola? I lived in Jamaica from 74 to 92,and moved to the Indy area when I graduated from Jamaica to go to ITT. I've been here since. Mom and Dad still live in Jamaica, and one day, we plan to move back.

    Got a head scratcher for you guys

    It may just be the Automatic HVAC being "odd" On my 03, I've had to do the "Headlight Trick" to get the HVAC working again, a couple of times........

    Project CRUMBY

    In some states, any commercial vehicle has only a front plate. For Example, there is a company that has a branch that is local to me here in Indiana. Their home office is in Wisconsin. All their trucks, even pickups have only a front plate, and some have a "plate" on the rear that reads...
