    Seat Covers.........

    I've got CoverCraft fabric covers. They are a heavy material...not quite denim, but still fairly tough. They fit the seats good and match the interior well. I've been happy with them.

    High Idle mod?

    High idle is mostly for quicker warm-up and to keep the gases moving through the turbo to try to help keep from sticking up the vanes in the turbocharger. I also use it to help cool my truck down a little faster before shutting it down. It will not do anything to help with lag...the tuner...

    In the market for my first super duty.

    Not much to add to the above, other than the obvious that the larger tires are going to be harder on the drivetrain...especially the unit bearings. Of course, I'd say chances are fairly good that you might have already had some similar issues there with the Dodge. Some of the 6.0s did have...

    New diesel owner

    If it were mine, I'd drive it for a while as is...get the feel for it and see how it runs. Unless it is not running properly currently, I doubt taking it to Ford would do much other than cost you. See what you like and don't like, then go from there. I'd start off with a new exhaust, then...

    New diesel owner

    You could go to a Ford dealer and ask them to print you out the OASIS report on your truck...might be able to find a tech on one of the diesel web sites that would be willing as well. That will tell you what work was done on your truck at Ford garages. Obviously, work done elsewhere would not...

    out of the hole sooooo slow

    You didn't mention if the truck was stock or modded...but, if it is stock, a tuner will help with the lag. It won't cure it though, but it will help some.

    Exaust ?

    The 7.3s didn't have cats anyway, so there is no problem at all there. Obviously, the more pipe you have, the more it will quiet it down. If you are mainly worried about hearing the exhaust in the cab, put your dump on the passenger side to the tail of the bed. I put a 4" MBRP off-road...

    How good are the 5 speed trannies?

    I too have the 6 speed in my truck...that was one of the main things I knew that I wanted when I was looking. Personally, I really enjoy having the manual trans. It's not as fast as the auto truckss, but then again I didn't buy mine to drag race with either. It's still fast though, and...

    2006 King Ranch Thing

    I've got my little CB mounted there in front of it. Space is limited for the radio with two shifters on the floor and the bucket-console setup.

    Question Gear Ratio Mixing

    There are certian instances where someone will use two different ratios, but this is usually in an offroad only vehicle. For most people, especially those that are going to use the truck on pavement, then the ratios need to be either matched or VERY close...for instance, a 4.09 and a 4.11...

    New rims here, what color to powder coat?

    Anodizing is more of a chemical process, where powdercoat is more like painting. Powdercoat - the item is preped and cleaned, then electrically charged. The colored powder is also charged, but opposite of the item to be coated, so when it is sprayed out, it is attracted to the item. The...

    New rims here, what color to powder coat?

    That is a fine looking ride... Another vote for matching the lower color.

    Horn...y?

    It's tucked in the splash sheilds under the battery on the passenger side

    exhaust question

    I'm not exactly sure what you are asking...but the first thing I would check into if I were you is what kind of emmisions regs you have. If you have to have the truck smogged and have it inspected, then you will need to keep the cat on there. To help clarify your question, there are two...

    Not the nicest thing, but funny anyway...

    A few weeks ago, I figured out how to get my truck to send out a good cloud of black smoke. I know that the street and Looney tunes both blow more, but I've been running the tow tune for a while now and came across this by accident. Anyway, on my way home from work the other morning, there...

    Electrical 911

    Did you check the fuse? I'm not sure what all it would cover, but that sounds like the probable culpret. First thing though, take the light back down and check for the wire/wires that were nipped. Get them insulated once again before you change out the fuse.

    delete cat

    The cat can be misplaced without any other engine or programming work. Performance wise I don't know that it really does that much, at least I couldn't tell much difference with mine. It does have more whistle and the EGTs are lower, but that's about it. The SCT helped with reducing the...

    I almost did it!

    Yup, I know what you mean. I didn't actually go to test drive one, but I was thinking about going to a F150 gasser. Then, much like you, I got to thinking about it more...although mine's not payed off yet, I still REALLY enjoy driving it, it does EVERYTHING that I need it to do, it's comfy...

    4x4 axle play

    It's going to move some because the u-joint starts to lope the shaft when turning. The same reason the wheels will pull/jerk/turn on their own when turning hard while locked in. The shafts want to be straight, that's where they work best. When turning, the u-joint causes the outer shaft to...

    Air horns...finally done.

    Yup, not sure what is wrong with it, but the site that is hosting my pics is down. Hopefully they will get it running soon.

    Back Up Lights

    I added some cheap wide beams to the rear of mine. I bought them cheap...but they really throw out nice wide light pattern. It really does make a big difference. I welded some tabs to the receiver hitch to mount the lights to. I still haven't got around to wiring it so I can turn the...

    Air horns...finally done.

    The compressor is a TIGHT fit...but it fits. The groovy little bling air filter...something that was going to go on my YJ but I decided the Stroke needed it more. These dudes are loud. I'm sure they can't compete with some of the train horns running around on the board, but for what I've...

    Air horns...finally done.

    I'll start by saying that I HAD a set of the cheapo style Wolo horns on the truck for a while. To put it nice...they suck. I've been getting parts lined up for a good while now. I finally got around to gathering everything up and putting it on the truck. It is probably one of the cheapest...

    earthquake

    5:38 am Eastern time I felt it...we were standing outside at work. We wern't sure what it was at first. I know I was hoping it wasn't something in the plant falling, breaking, crashing...that sort of thing. We walked back in and heard it on the radio.

    Home built coolant filter

    Yes, the threads are different. Other than that, I don't know. I think the filter is about $10-12...but probably could be found cheaper elsewhere if cross referenced.
