    Question Excursions, Good or Bad???

    For whatever reason, the excursion is actually a little lighter. At least, mine is. As for mileage, it also gets better mileage than my truck. On a recent trip, it got 18 on a run to southern Arizona, that had some mountains, but nothing terrible. Going to San Diego, it is usually the same...

    6.0 is CHUGGING like GASSER

    Well, at this point, you could have dusted the turbo. There is also a possibility of an injector problem that is unique, or at least more common to the 6.0 powerstroke. There is also a possible FICM problem, which is not taken care of by a chip.

    New Shop

    You know, I would be thrilled if I had a shop half that size. Jealousy is an ugly thing, and I am ugly.

    Question What did you do to your truck today?

    Those are the same lights I have on my red truck. They are great, and BRIGHT!

    Air Lift helper bags and compressor install

    I have mine behind the back seat where the jack used to be. I hate the screw jacks, so I keep a hydraulic in the tool box.

    exhuast swap from 07 to a 00? possible

    You could probably figure it out by looking at the manufacturers site. Does it have the Down pipe? Is it turbo back? The 2000 and the 2007 have different engines.

    Help Needed dead miss while cold

    Injector, or FICM. I have the same problem, and that is what I have been told. Of course, I have not taken it in yet, either. BTW, your mileage is going to drop, too.

    New 2011 Super Duty Diesel...............

    I am sorry, but I like the styling of the new truck. It is bold styling, and I love the location of the F 450 series badges. The powerstroke badges are a little bit over the top, but I can deal with that. Of course, I seem to remember that so many hated the '06 trucks new front end when they...

    air ride

    I wish I had one. They are both good systems. I ended up just going with airbags. I know air ride technologies has a kit out to, and the stuff I have seen of theirs are usually really good knockoff.

    Warranty About to Expire

    I have a local dealer that refuses to do a warranty expiration inspection. They would rather get their shop rate, then the Ford shop rate. Jerks. That is when I find a friendly garage that can go through it so that I can tell the dealer what the problems are.

    Going through some changes around here.

    Sometimes the best step forward is a step back. It always hurts, but if you keep at it, you will come out on top.

    Need Some Advice (long)

    I am currently looking for a shop, as well. Run a plan, and estimate your revenues on a monthly basis, based on your regular income. Figure out all your associated costs for the business, then take out 20%. 10% for savings and 10% as the cost of being a human being, or charity. See how much...

    mod for aftermarket ac to back seat

    The excursions have rear air, but it comes from the roof. This could be an interesting Mod. We need to get Bama on it.

    Let it run or not?

    Actually, UPS and FEDEX have done studies and have found it is more efficient to turn off the engine at a stop than to let it idle, even for 30 seconds. Think about it, the UPS guy always shuts his truck down when he is making a delivery. It did not used to be that way.

    6.7 L Powerstroke for 2011

    It is an interesting engine. 95th percentile handles nearly everyone that uses it for something less than a hard core work truck. I am thinking that the top 5 percentile would be hotshots, people that constantly tow heavy around town, etc. Since I am one that tows a lot, but have had no...

    Humor Anybody Seen This Yet?

    The energy savings is a lame argument. If a vehicle goes from the 18 MPG that a car has to get less than, to 24 MPG which is the minimum for eligible cars, it takes over 100,000 miles to justify the energy savings.

    11 year girl abducted in 1991 found

    This is a fascinating story to me. SHe has been with this despicable monster for 18 years, since she was 11. She has had 2 children with it. (sorry, it doesn't deserve a human reference) and has continued to live in her little prison. He finally lets her out in public, and confesses who she...

    Question Congress Created Dust Bowl?

    I am not in California, but I am close, in Arizona. I am thinking that in many ways the drought is fabricated. The reason I say this is that ALL the water storage reservoirs for the Phoenix area are at 100% at the start of every summer, and have been for at least the last four years. Call me...
