    Congratulations, TG!

    Other Toys

    I'm happy with it. I get anywhere between 9 and 11 mpg towing it, depending upon terrain and headwind. I got 9 mpg coming back from San Antonio back to Florida, fighting 30 mph headwinds all the way at 63 mph. 63 mph is where the Tow Haul keeps the transmission in top gear instead of hunting...

    I'm looking for a newer truck

    Times must be tough in Dothan. I lived there once upon a time. Even married a girl from there. It didn't last long. Now she lives in Huntsville and wouldn't take a leak on me if I were engulfed in flames. :eek:

    FYI Class action settlement, accelerator pedal

    For liability reasons, they'll want the old one, and insist on installing the new one. You won't get one to put on the shelf.

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Yes, that will do it. Either a bad ground or a bad positive connection somewhere. Our 2004 E-350 had the same symptoms. There is a circuit that controls the injectors that amplifies the voltage. If the voltage going to that controller is less than 11.7 volts, no power, and your dash...

    I am back

    Welcome back! I can relate, I've been away from the board myself over the past few months, the press of other matters and being named a moderator of another forum related to amateur radio taking up a lot of my time.

    Air Conditioning

    My truck does the same thing. Recycling the power by turning the key off, then on will usually bring it back to life. The dealer can't find anything wrong, and it rarely happens, so I just write it down as the nature of the beast.

    Storm stories

    Eighteen degrees forecast tonight for my little corner of the Florida panhandle. With the wind chill it will be in the single digits. It makes me want to go to a tropical island with semi-naked native girls, but I think my wife would frown on that, no matter how cold it gets.

    Question back up camera reverse light wiring

    Splice into the backup light circuit at the rear of the truck. Then the only way the camera comes on is when the backup lights are on. I leave my camera on all of the time, though. When I tow my fifth-wheel travel trailer, I get a good view of all four trailer tires when towing.

    high idle mod

    You only have to provide 12 volts to the battery protect wire OR the PTO wire from either an upfitter switch or an off the shelf switch. There are no connections to be made from the accelerator to the parking brake. That is all in software. With 12 volts supplied to the circuit and the parking...

    Help Needed 04 OEM radio

    Never heard of dealers programming a radio in a Super Duty. I wrote an article a few years back about adding an auxiliary input to a CD-6. There were no codes to write down, it worked perfectly when it was disconnected from the harness and reconnected later. Check with a salvage yard, and...

    Spray paint in a can - Medium Wedgewood Blue Metallic

    I've gone to the usual auto part stores and cannot find a spray can of Medium Wedgewood Blue Metallic paint. Even checked with the dealer and the dealer says they don't sell it. I need a can to paint a replacement piece of trim (the plastic part that is on either side of the roof line at the...

    Humor iPhone vs. HTC EVO (NSFW)

    Still like my iPhone, AT&T service and all. You couldn't get me to sign up for Sprint service at gunpoint.

    Help Needed Wierd gauge action

    My truck did the same thing. Even had the speedo saying I was going 30 mph when I was at a dead stop. Solution? Replace the original pair of Motorcraft batteries with a fresh set. Problem solved.

    Hooray, it works!

    I haven't been here as often as I would have liked to be. Two years ago I moved to a place that had no high speed internet save for an expensive satellite link. While I could access just about any other site, two sites, one of them Superdutydiesel.com, could not be accessed with any degree of...

    PSD with the easy life

    We have two vehicles with 6.0 engines in the family. The 2005 F-250 pickup has been meticulously maintained, just some reflashes and a rear main seal, all under warranty. It has lived its life in Northwest Florida (A.K.A. Lower Alabama) The second vehicle is a 2004 Ford E-350 extended van...

    Regular Unleaded put in my diesel.. help

    In defense of his brother, the person or persons who should have a size 12 boot inserted firmly up their alimentary canal are those marketing "geniuses" at BP who insist on putting green covers on regular gasoline fuel nozzles, to show how in tune with mother nature they are. EVERY other fuel...

    Still around

    Stephen wrote me a note that I found this morning asking if I was still alive. I am still on this side of the sod, I won't bore everyone with the details, only to say that trying to keep my wife's business afloat has taken up my time in the last eighteen months to the exclusion of nearly...

    Petition Moral/Ethical issue??

    I'm a firm believer in karma, what goes around comes around. Since I'm good friends with the local Advance Auto Parts manager and have a commercial account there, I never pay the shelf price anyway. Glad to be back on SDD. I had some troubles with my router settings that had to be tweaked...
