    stock exaust size on a 2001 ford superduty

    Pure stock should be 3.5 inch. With a four inch, it is four from turbo back, nicer bends for the down pipe, and a straight through muffler. Helps in lowering EGTs

    Question Early 99 F350 Rotor Replacement

    Definitely look for last falls posts. The only other advice I can give is to take your rotors off and take them with you to the store. Have them get everything out for your truck and match them up with you rotors. I had to do this more than once. Keep the part number for later on. I...

    Diesel Ranger

    I was at the dealers today for my CPS fix and while waiting a lifted ranger came into the lot. Sounded bad at first, until it drove by. It was a diesel in the ranger truck. FRICKEN AWSOME!!! When he left the lot he got into it and it was sweet. I asked the tech guys about it and found out...

    Current computer flash

    Does anybody know the current flash for a 99.5 F250? My local could not tell me and I was curious to see if it would be beneficial to do or stick with what I have, which I have no idea what it is. Thanks

    Question HPX Mod

    These are the instruction for the SS line, but the pictures should help you see where the plugs are. As for removing the intake, I don't think you have to, but unclamping both intercooler pipes to push out of the way, and removing the turbo Y pipe would make the job easier to get at. I had...

    Rotors

    One thing I will say. I have yet to find lifetime rotors anywhere. Pads, yes, have them on the truck now. Most I could find for rotors was from autozone, 3yr for Baer Decela. And even though it is not cheap, I would spend the $60 each for new rotors than to turn the old ones. Less...

    Front Hub Questions

    Well, with 147,000+ mile, the time has come for the front hubs to be replaced. I did the ball joints three years ago, and wish I would have done the hubs just to have them done. Oh well. Since I am taking this apart, should the front universal joint be replaced? I do little four wheeling...

    Plastic filter covers

    They are not a sponsor, but I have had great dealings with them. They have a billet cap for fuel and oil that are tapped for sender ports. If you can get a cap for them, then you should be set. Caps

    Backwards Brake Caliper?

    I just went out and looked at my 99 F250 and the right side is on the back side of the rotor and the left is on the front side. Guess it is how they are made.

    Power steering hoses

    I figured this year I am finally going to find my power stering leak. Start with hoses and go from there. From what I can see there are four hoses? Anything else I should go after? I figured if the hoses do not do the job, then the steering gear and pump are next. Attached is a cart of...
