    New pics of new wheels!

    Thanks everyone. I fixed the link so you can see the whole rig now! :D I'm exceedingly pleased with how it turned out. In fact, tonight I coated the tailpipes in black header paint to mask the ugly aluminum that was getting a bit grungy.

    New pics of new wheels!

    I didn't even have to lift the truck! The new 305/70-18 Mickey Thompson ATZs fit with just a tiny bit of trimming on the back of the inner fender. That's all it took though, and these are a full 35" tire. No 35 that measures out to a 33 BS....

    A solution to the 2008

    The test mules got great mileage from the source I had talked to. He's actually an engineer for Ford in Detroit. But, they had the original program in them. None of the test mules shot flames for whatever reason, and the nain issue with the mileage is supposedly the new programming. He told me...

    Truck was Detailed today!

    Thanks everyone. I really love how it shines! Stephen, to answer your question. This truck came with the uh, shall we say "not so desirable" 18s on it that I quickly ditched for my Moto Metal 951s with 33x13.50-18 ATZs. They were a bit too wide and too much bling for the sinister look I was...

    KEM Performance DPF delete

    I definitely like that idea. I'm hoping SCT will pair up with Magnaflow and make a full turbo back that is just straight piped. Then the tune can delete the regen, sensors, etc all while boosting my mileage and performance back to some :burnit levels... :sly

    KEM Performance DPF delete

    That's great! I think I'm going to give my truck another 5k miles and then KEM and I are going to become friends :D I talked with them before Christmas. Their pricing scheme is really pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the cost of their DPF delete, but that comes with the territory I...

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    No problem. If you're ever in Lee's Summit, let me know! I'm right off of Todd George and 50 Hwy.

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    City really kills the mileage. I saw the biggest increase at 5k miles. If I drive mostly city, I'm happy with 13-14. Highway I've seen 19, but that was cruising at 65.

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    It has just over 5k on it now and I honestly have done no mods to the motor at all. It has factory 20s on it right now and I attempt to keep my foot out of it. I have been running OEM cetane boost as well. That seemed to help considerably.

    The truck is great! I'm seeing 17 mpg on the highway and it pulls awesome!

    What is your Fuel Economy?

    I filled up last night after a regen which murdered mileage - my truck thus far on this tank - 15.3 MPG. If I can pull that out of this thing consistently cruising back and forth to work, I'll be pleased for now. But, as soon as the smog equipment deletes are there and proven, it's all...

    B+W turnover for the 08 trucks

    I may look at doing that, Zookie. Thanks for the response. I think I may just try to section it and bring the "hump" that goes over the rear axle in tighter. I'll make sure it's not close enough to heat up the differential, but it seems that there is plenty of room there. -Rusty

    B+W turnover for the 08 trucks

    So, everyone I have talked to including B+W says you have to put this BS bracket on your frame to drop the exhaust for the hitch to fit. This wouldn't be an issue if it didn't still hit the exhaust and rattle/squeak. It also makes the truck look rediculous with the tailpipe 4" below stock and...

    KEM Performance DPF delete

    Supposedly the air dam is good for 1 mpg at 70. In my opinion, they look a little bit silly. But, if it actually worked, it would pay for itself in a very short amount of time!

    KEM Performance DPF delete

    Just heard today from a very reputable diesel performance company on the east cost that has a really fast land speed truck..... that they are apparently working with Ford to get their approval on any an all tuning/intercoolers/exhaust, etc. So, that would mean that we could theoretically buy...

    Diesel Fuel Price Up Again

    Tires & wheels for 4" lift

    A 10" wide wheel's offset is going to make for a very wide stance. My 08 I think looks goofy with a 9.5" wheel and a 33x13-18 on it. I had an 06 truck with 35x12.50-18 BFG Mud Terrains on 18x9 wheels it and personally I felt it was the perfect setup. It didn't stick out too far, but it had an...

    KEM Performance DPF delete

    I just picked up some cetane boost last night from Ford. We'll see how that does. Apparently the air dam is supposed to help a bunch as well and it's only 70 bucks at my local dealer!

    Thanks Stephen. I just want it done the way I want it - but we all know that it's a never ending saga!

    KEM Performance DPF delete

    Yep. I had a 94, then a 97, now I'm working on an 03. The big kicker will be the new Shelby GT500 in about 18 months.... :eek:
