What speed are you towing at?
I would agree with the 65-70 sweet spot. Not as good on the diesel fuel but seems better on the engine and tranny. My rig is 17,400lbs. GVCW and the trailer is 35'. Just ran to PA from Atlanta and back through the Blueridge mountians with no probs. I run with a Hensley Arrow Hitch System and...- haulin8or

Good news for Bad Fords
My dealer replaced my FICM wiring harness last month and did not fix the problem. Had it into my dealer this week because there was a diesel engineer from Ford there this week. He drove it and could not duplicate the surging/bucking/kicking/stalling, of course. :dunno However, he did some...- haulin8or

I'm not sure what they are talking about either? :dunno Haulin' my 10k# camper through the Skyline Drive and Blueridge Parkway the TS did awesome.

Excursions, why buy anything else?
Yeah, it's a big'un! The X handles it well. The X and the trailer weigh roughly the same weight, so the trailer does not man-handle the X at all. Coupled with a Hensley Arrow Hitch, there is no sway. I run down the road at about 75 mph. Semi's don't bother me when they pass. With the...- haulin8or

If you are WAITING to change your FUEL FILTERS...
Mine is sitting at 15k. I guess I should do it. Is it a tough job? Is there a link that gives tips and suggestions? Would like to read up before I go out and take a diesel bath. :doh:- haulin8or

Love Mine!! This is the first stock vehicle I have owned since my 1985 black Mustang GT with T-Tops that people passing me by on the road do a double take and give me a thumbs up with a big smile on their face :thumbs That's a great feeling and sometimes I feel like I am in high school again...- haulin8or

Just got mine back today. They said it was 3 versions behind on the Flashes. They brought it up to date. I must say, on the way back to my office, about 40 miles, I would have sworn they put a different engine in that thing. It was quieter and got better MPG! At one point, running just...- haulin8or

Mine has had just about every other logical component swapped out, except for the wiring harness (before I...- haulin8or
