    Pics of the Smashed Tailgate

    Actually, Stephen...that tailgate looks a whole lot better than my dented up one, and while I normally am not a big fan of Bondo, your tailgate was definitely repairable with the right materials and good talented labor. Mine is dented at the bottom where the only way you can get the dents out...

    Exporer-Escape or Focus

    To each his own. The wife has a 2002 Focus wagon that has been rock solid. The rear tire problem is due to the factory not setting the alignment properly and the dealer not setting it up before delivery. Our local mechanic did a four wheel alignment, added shims and no more rear tire problem...

    Who will be the first to market with a 6.4L programmer?

    I thought the latest stand from Ford re; modifications is that you can't even change out the exhaust without voiding the warranty. It makes me wonder what they would do if you had a bad flatulence attack and filled the seat cushions with your 'unfiltered emissions'.:D

    truck jerks (ses lites sometimes) no code

    I did have to read your post to clear things up. I thought you were referring to the denizens and proprietor of The Diesel Stop.:D

    If you do pull the trigger, ask them if they still offer the weenie roast option like they test marketed on some of the units they shipped to Canada.:roflmao

    torqueshift flush

    As to a TorqueShift NOT being able to be flushed by a machine, I say BULL! My mechanic flushed it with a machine, he did have to empty out the old fluid halfway through because the machine wouldn't hold all of the old fluid. I darn near fainted when I saw the bill for the fluid, though...

    Kidney stones?

    Get thee to a hospital, have them run an IV drip of Demerol. In twenty minutes, you will not feel pain, and the doctor could take a sledgehammer to the family jewels and you would not feel a thing. The doc will also put you on fluids to make your kidneys flush out the stone. Been there three...

    2008 Tailgate Ordered Today (non-step)

    So those prices you posted are what any of us can get, or did you get a special price being a company and all? Frequently my dealer's prices on parts are 20 percent HIGHER than MSRP. He doesn't let you see the price list, either.

    When it rains, it pours....

    I just got my truck out of the body shop, and then I get what happened today. I had to get my generators to the shop for a tune up, so it was time for everyone to help out. The wife and son attached the trailer to the hitch while I dealt with the safety chains and light plug. Just in front...

    F-250, F-350 badges

    Rust-o-leum gloss black and a fine artists paintbrush are your friends. Mask with tape if you think your hands will not be steady. And according to my dealer, it is the nature of the beast for these badges to lose the lettering. Since my truck is no longer in warranty, I just repaint the...

    Well, were do i begin.............................

    Sorry to hear about your truck, Stephen. Bad things sometimes happen to good folks, it could be worse, you could be spending $$$ on a new engine. :eek: As for the question about the tailgate, yes the tailgate will fit on the existing hardware of an earlier truck. HOWEVER... Note the top of...

    Bad Storm..........

    No look good to the west. The front is just now beginning to appear on the Mobile Alabama radar. I'll be getting hammered by mid morning. And I'm not talking about drinking the wife's pre-mixed Long Island Iced Tea!:eek:

    Using Low Sulfur Diesel in the 6.4

    The smog stuff won't like it much if you use more than a tank or two, sez my local dealership diesel wrench turner.

    The crap is hitting the fan...

    Can anyone blame Navistar for the actions they have taken? They have a contract with Ford that says that Navistar will be the supplier of diesel engines for the Super Duty for the next five years. Ford starts making noises about rushing a new diesel engine developed in house to market. Which...

    05 died after fueling up

    On an 05, oil pressure is used to pump fuel to the injectors. The beauty of that system is the engine will quit before you run dry on oil. Could insufficient oil pressure be a problem. I leave that to people more technically inclined than myself.

    Bio on planes

    Oh, THAT Branson! At first I thought there was a bunch of guys from that tourist mecca in Missouri that partnered up with Boeing and GE. Redneck expertise at its finest! Hey, Bubba! Hold my beer while I put the throttles to full power!:roflmao

    6.0 Has bit the dust again

    Okay, let's put a few cards on the table. 1. You are a diehard GM man by your own admission. 2. You state that every 6.0 in your county's fleet of vehicles is experiencing trouble. Statistically speaking, that is a fluke. 3. Your statement about Ford and its "biggest money loss' is also...

    6.0 Has bit the dust again

    Speaking as someone who has merely a passing knowledge of probability and statistics, I could say out of a fleet of thirty, perhaps SIX might have the problems he is describing, TOPS. It sounds to me like our original poster is a denizen of the Drama Stop, where Power Stroke bashing is an art...

    Have you been to this site before?

    Seeing the coinage wanted for a new camping rig makes me think the $7500 I spent on my new to me fifth wheel trailer was a VERY good deal indeed! Of course I've spend a few coin on customization, like a flat screen TV, satellite dome, satellite radio, entertainment center, new carpeting, new...

    Say what you mean, mean what you say

    Funny, a similar line worked for me. The wifey said to me after my vintage Ford Explorer blew the engine "Aw, hon. Why don't you go over to Hub City Ford and pick out a new truck that you like?" The Beast came home the next day. The wife is now more deliberate in her choice of words...
