    Installing CB

    Does the fuse box come out? If it does can something be messed up? I can't crane my neck around to look at the back. ;) I could stick a blade connector in an empty slot in the front and attach the ground to one of the parking brake bolts. There is a wire loom coming through a grommet towards the...

    Installing CB

    I have a fender mount for the driver's side. No drilling needed here. I took the whole unit out of my dad's '02 F-350 after he passed and we sold the truck for Mom to help with her financial situation. Wish we could have kept the truck but it was a dually and just about perfect otherwise. Where...

    Installing CB

    Trying to find a good spot to run the coax from the engine bay and a power and ground for the radio. I have my dad's Cobra all in one unit but it has the power module that is hidden under the dash. Any suggestions for the '04 Super Duty? I don't see the usual grommets that don't have a bunch of...

    Door Mirror Hazy

    Thanks, Dave. This only listed driver's side but I'll look for the passenger side.

    Door Mirror Hazy

    I can only imagine the cost of replacing the glass. Not in the budget!

    Door Mirror Hazy

    Would an auto glass shop have any ideas? Is this a replace the glass or live with it issue?

    Door Mirror Hazy

    My passenger side mirror is hazy like it's dirty but it's clean. The driver's side is clear. Is there a way to polish the mirror? I have the heated mirrors so I don't want to ruin anything. I don't know what happened to it since I've only had the truck 4 weeks. I'm assuming something was put on...

    I checked these guys out and found an aluminized Diamond Eye 4" exhaust for $307. That's one of my first things on the "to do" list.

    Question Driving Tips for Towing and MPG

    Thanks, Scott. That's reassuring. I didn't know if RPMs and speeds were affected. If I'm processing all of this correctly with a trailer the shift points are a little different but highway speeds are all the same once underway? I can do that! I've been such a die hard gear rower for so long I...

    Question Driving Tips for Towing and MPG

    Thanks for the tips. I have 3:73s as well (2000RPM at 70MPH). I haven't had a chance to do any mileage calculating yet. Our trailer is an '88 Prowler 18 foot. We usually have the '03 Yamaha Grizzly in the truck when camping. I was thinking flatland towing I wouldn't need tow/haul but going down...

    Question Driving Tips for Towing and MPG

    Since I'm new to the 6.0 and the auto tranny I had some questions I was wondering about. 1. For MPGs what seems to be the sweet spot RPM wise? 2000 RPM and under was in my IDI but the 6.0 has a much higher redline so I'm not sure on this one. 2. With the Tow/Haul mode can I use it anytime...

    Trailey, I'm in Post Falls, Idaho just east of Spokane probably 23 minutes from this shop. Good to know there's good folks nearby since I just purchased my '04 6.0.

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    Well, It took longer to solder with my ape fingers and tight area to work in then to remove and replace the unit. I thought the resistors would be a bit bigger! I need to work on my soldering skills. :rolleyes: I'm back in business. I now know what direction I'm driving in again! ;) Thanks for...

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    Okay. During my spring break next week (high school PE/ health teacher here in Post Falls). I watched several videos on pushing the components back into the circuit board and adding a touch of solder. Shouldn't be tough. I had a quote of $129 to fix it from the shop that will do work on my...

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    Dave, Just around the edges or is there a good way of doing it? No screw anywhere then?

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    What about getting the console off the headliner? I don't see any obvious fasteners or release tabs. There are two possible tabs in the sunglass compartment. Are those pressed outward to release the shell? I think I can tackle the soldering job if I can get the part out.

    WeatherTech custom fit tonneau covers are now available for the Ford F-250

    Looks nice. Prices for long bed 2004 Super Duty? Should fit '99-'07 I assume. What about loading an ATV up against the front rail? Any problems there?

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    Not worth $700. I'll do some more checking and research.

    Hey everybody!

    I'm just into Idaho east of Spokane and I couldn't find a decent 7.3 that wasn't overpriced. I love my '04 though so far. Sounds like you have an awesome rig!

    I'm coming over from Oil Burners now that I have an '04 but I've poked around for a while.

    Overhead Display Trip Computer

    I just bought my '04 Lariat and the display for the overhead display is out. It's physically there but doesn't come on or light up. Where do I start looking? The Mode and E/M buttons have lights when the marker lights are on. If it's electrical is there a fuse? If I need to replace a part which...

    Question New Exhaust

    I have the same question since I just bought an '04. I have a crew long box 4X4 auto. What is your truck configuration? I need to know which one is simple enough to do myself and will fit my budget which is as cheap as I can get!!:sly The EGR delete is a bit spendy so the exhaust will probably...
