    Home built coolant filter

    All in all, it turned out nice. I'm happy with the way it works...I'll be even more happy when I cut the first filter open and see the junk that it pulls out of the system. I've got ALOT less in it than the kits sell for...and it looks just as nice I think.

    Home built coolant filter

    The filter head was from Napa. It is the same p/n as the aluminum one that most kits have...not sure why this one was steel, but it works fine regardless. I did shoot it with some paint though, I just couldn't stand looking at the ugly green that it was when I got it. The filters are also...

    power converter? or inverter?

    Your truck has a 12V system...wiring them parallel just doubles the amps. Here's a quick link so you can see what it means. The picture shows 6V, but it makes no difference...it's the same principal. How to Connect your Battery in Series or Parallel - Printable Version The quick answer...

    What is needed to service a 6.0 ?

    I had been getting the Motorcraft oil filters at Walmart. I asked about the IH oil filter last time when I got the fuel filter and I can get it there a little cheaper...so from now out, I will get both at the IH parts counter...about $16 for the oil, $37 for the fuel. If you do go this...

    Camper Special Emblem

    I know there was someone on evilbay selling this stufff a while back, but I couldn't find it. I also remember there being more talk of the special order type badges, but I didn't find much about that either. The only thing that I did find was this post...there is a link to a site that...

    Bed extender

    I can't answer this for sure, but I looked it up and it appears as though the same one for the standard (97-03 I think) F150 fleetside bed would work on the SD. I do know that the tailgates are interchangeable between them.

    For the first time EVER

    I put an MBRP turbo back off-road on mine...no kitty but with the MBRP muffler... and it did little, if anything, for the mileage. It does sound better, and it lowered the EGTs, but I honestly didn't see any noticeable improvement with the mileage. I'm feeling your pain there...I've been...

    ford emblem overlays?

    You can take them apart, get rid of the blue, and repaint whatever color you want. I did one orange to match my trail beater. It's really not that bad to do. Here's the write up I used...I hope anyway... Ranger Power Sports Tech Section » Archive » Color Ford Logo by Joshua Shouse

    Air Horn Wiring Guide

    I don't have any pics of it, but I can tell you well enough. The stock horns are located in the front passenger side corner under the inner fender plastic and are hard to get to. I forget now what color the wire is, but there are very few up there that keep going to the header panel. It is...

    Air Horn Wiring Guide

    http://www.classictruckshop.com/clubs/earlyburbs/projects/bosch/foglite.jpg Here's a good basic relay diagram. It doesn't matter what the accesory is, it's all the same. Most relays have two output terminals...you don't have to use both. Also, since you will probably want use your...

    Block heater questions

    Not the usual one though... I've already added the cord to my truck since Ford didn't think I needed it. Anyway, after talking to a couple buddys that both have Cummins powered Dodges, I'm wondering if my block heater is working/working right. I have not had any start issues with it...

    shifter knob

    Just pull it straight off the lever. It will take a bit of force, but it will pull off there. Be carefull not to bust yourself in the face when it comes off though. The top of the lever is just splines. You could use a die to thread it to the size the new knob requires...usually there are...

    Block heater?

    Your truck has the block heater, it might not have the cord, but it does have the heater. Check behind the bumper on the passenger side just to make sure it isn't hidden. If it still isn't there, you can buy the OEM cord one at Ford for about $50-70. It has the plastic convoluted sheath...

    Toolbox options needed for flatbed

    The aluminum boxes aren't cheap, but they are the way to go. One guy has a set of under bed cubes plus some that go lengthways along the sides of the bed...both sides. The side mounts open to the outside...latches are easily accessable. You don't have to get a pair, you can buy them as...

    steering stabilizer removal

    Sometimes, if you hit the draglink itself around where the stud passes through will loosen it up and help it to come out. You might also try putting something between the draglink and a solid frame part so that the draglink can not deflect when you hit the stud.

    Seat Covers?

    Velcro... There is a strip of velcro on the side under the arm rest and then again on the outer side of the seat back. I will get you a pic of mine tomorrow if you'd like. My wife bought mine for me where she works. I thought I had seen them on Evil-bay before too.

    Seat Covers?

    Mine are CoverCraft Seat Savers. I like them pretty well. They fit good and I really think that they are keeping the seats in good shape. Mine are a darker gray than the factory color, along the lines of a medium-dark gray. I'm glad they are though since the factory gray is really to light...

    4x4 options

    ESOF was an option on all trim levels. Who ever ordered the truck probably speced it out like that. I knew before I ever even looked at getting my 05 that it would have manual tcase shifter...that was very much one of the requirements. As mentioned before, less to go wrong and cause...

    Strobe lite guys. . .

    Mine is very similar to the one that is linked above. I forget the name brand now, but my wife bought it at the truck accesory shop that she works for. Signal Stat or Signal Light...one of the other I think. It is a 6 outlet power pack, but it only came with 4 strobe tubes. I got the 6...

    single gauge A-pillar pod

    Yes and no...I did find a guy that does have a single pod that works with the grab handle in place. I will probably go with it when I get the green set aside for it...that's where the no comes in. Actually, I think that I would probably prefer the steering column mount, but Autometer says...

    MBRP Offroad installed

    Here's some pics...I'd venture to say that most of the kit is just the same as the others, with the exception of the lower downpipe. The second pic shows the factory band clamp that was re-used, rather than the supplied clamp.

    MBRP Offroad installed

    I got the MBRP Offroad XP in 409 installed yesterday. Here's my thoughts of the exhaust and the install. Install went well. I used a lift...I'm glad that I did rather than try it on the ground. The kit fit well, the down pipe is CLOSE to both the frame and the tranny, but no leaks and no...
