    its not a super duty....but

    Lance, bout killed me getting them stacked up. Hopefully oct it cools down enough to drag them in place. Trying to get more, they are being replaced in many places as the spikes cause them to split. they need predrilling and then railroad machines i assume dont do that

    its not a super duty....but

    roy, yep a pickup would have been great. f350 long bed could have handled my load easy peazy my friend in front had double row 36 on his little trailer, the 3500 lb axles were wiggling and groaning as i followed him. I had barely 3k pounds on the trailer, could have carried 6k more easily my...

    its not a super duty....but

    after 3200 miles...she is steady at 17.7-18.0 at highway speeds of 75 or above tq is KILLER, 3.73 help alot, but the eco boost in the 2013 f150, was very different in power than the 2016 version. a/c is still a learning curve, it seems what temp you set the /c is what temp the air is from the...

    Central Vacuum Setup ?

    yep, we have had them in both of the newer rv's the bus we use it, but not as much as the shark pet hair suckasaurus the dirt devil works great as well. a hint..every now and then pull the bag, kill power, lock open the hose connector, then use a shop vac at the bag side of the turbine, it will...

    its not a super duty....but

    nope just dust. the thing that bugs the crud out of me is the back window one drive and its covered in dust. the vacuum effect is horrible. been looking for a deflector or something to direct air down across to break up the suction the 150 was just as bad, the tailgate would be covered in fine...

    Fuel from Plastic gargbage

    you guys know i am a tree hugger of sorts. well at least not a hugger, maybe a hand holder. but the thing that caught my attention was the ability for this technology to break down any plastics or nylon....think FISHING lines and nets into a fuel we have tons o tons of fishing nets, plastic...

    Trucks being stolen

    Damn your right around the corner. on my superduties i installed a fuel pump interrupt switch that was easy for ME to switch on or off, but not easy to find. on the 6.0, 6.4 and 6.7 she will just spin and spin and never start. I wont say where they were, but even if your hand was probing around...

    its not a super duty....but

    clicked over 120 miles today on the odo......still figuring out all the gizmos and setting the radio and OMG the stuff on the display to keep track of is mind boggling but not boost???? get up and go is easily a bit quicker than the pickup, i think that 3.73 rear gear has much to do with that...

    its not a super duty....but

    yep me to, i searched for weeks to find any real data. the spy photos look screwy. but i think thats from the f150 fenders and hood. i like the expedition to NOT look like a super duty or 150 now an excursion, its a big hefer so a superduty wink would be ok. we shall see the 17 superduties are...

    Not happy

    f250 short box...i think it will squat considerably as the rear set of springs are not the same on the 350 long box. most 250s'''short boxes are built for ride over spring stiffness, unless you get the higher gvwr, which pushes you to a 350 . back in the day my 92 f250 4x4 supercab long...

    its not a super duty....but

    you know the rumor mill is hot on a 6.7 option in the 2017 expedition....which would mean its going to get at least part of a f250 front frame, maybe be a baby excursion. or they drop in some little oil burner that will leave a bad taste. our two dogs will enjoy the back seat room and separate...

    its not a super duty....but

    after weeks of back and forth on a 4x4 250 and what the costs would be to make it four down towable we punted and went with a 2016 KR Expedition 4x4 never owned a white vehicle before....

    Check your HPX Lines!

    OMG your alive, been awhile, agree your lines are a bit on the old side, a flex line there imo could have been a ss tube, a few years back during the rebuild of the marines ea 6b, we replaced all alum tubing with stainless ones, hard as heck to get in place on some spots, but they didnt vibrate...

    Question Driving Tips for Towing and MPG

    my 06 with cc 4:30 rear gears..it liked turning high rpms, pulling the fiver and grossed at a tad under 23k all hooked up, i was able to squeeze 12.5 mpg at 68 to 70 mph empty i saw 13-14 used t/h with every trailer, this was before the new engines with the engine brake.

    Might be back in a super duty sadlle very soon

    its more of a want than a need, we figured if we were going to replace the 150, it made sense to look very close at the 250, he has the price set very very low and it made sense to look. but having to do a driveshaft disconnect or swap t case, it not as Great. the 150 tows four down and the...

    Might be back in a super duty sadlle very soon

    well for me, the hauler trailer i pull now, with the 150 onboard is right at 9800lbs, so a super duty is around 2k lbs lighter if its on the ground, i can tow the 150 flat but have resisted. my bones are simply getting old and a change may be in order

    Might be back in a super duty sadlle very soon

    yep i was just searching for a few...we have been looking for a few months really liked the expedition 4x4 perfect what we need 4 down towing...but around here finding one with out the 22" wheels in a platinum or king ranch is super hard, unless of course you want white. 2016 expeditions stop...

    Might be back in a super duty sadlle very soon

    my f150 has esof but it will lock out the transfer case to neutral for four down towing you would think the super duty would be as well, my 1992 had it. not sure if i will shop around, this is a super deal...but not if i have to swap cases or do the driveshaft disconnect finding one with a...
