    That's great. I'm glad to hear you did well on mileage and enjoyed your trip. Looks like a good time. -Rusty

    2008 F250 lifted + 5er

    Your bed height stock is about 55" on a F-250 or 57" on a F-350. So, I would do a leveling kit on a 350 or 350 blocks/u-bolts with a leveling kit on a 250. That's all they will take though. You go any higher and you can't pull it anymore.

    2008 Superduty Sub Boxes

    It looks like I'm going to have to swap my center shoulder belt in the back for a lap belt, but the dimensions are lining up for it to fit. I'll let you know this week!

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    I will post pics in the morning with the new wheels, tires and tube steps that were installed late this afternoon. Unfortunately, I didn't get home in time to get some decent pics snapped before the great lightbulb went to sleep for the evening.

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    No, it won't be fully broken in by any means in 10 days. I just have to give it 500 miles of me driving it before I hook onto the trailer. I have to trust it before I commit to pulling a gross of 20k...

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    ;) Good eye, Powerboatr. That is a Putco piece. I'm doing all leds in the cabin as well. I really like the longevity of the leds as well as their light emitting capabilities. F350DRW1 - Powerwise I feel like it definitely has more off of the line. We'll see how it compares when loaded in...

    Thanks! I am going to take pictures today when the new wheels/tires are on it along with some OEM steps.

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    Thanks again....And Stephen, I'm definitely not putting all that plastic chrome stuff on the truck, I just wanted to see what comment you'd make :tounge The only chrome that will be on this one is the new wheels and possibly some step tubes. I think those may be black as well though. I...

    08 truck beds

    I think that would be very cool. I don't see why it wouldn't fit either. The bolts in the bed of my 08 appear to be in exactly the same positions as those in my 06. And, I don't believe the frame rails really changed that much on these new ones either.

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    Thanks everyone! Bush, I opted to not get the slider as my 06 was broken into through that piece. Plus, if you get the powered slider, there is absolutely no room for a sub box behind the back seat. The new wheels/tires go on tomorrow afternoon and I'll be installing the GN hitch soon...

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    Thanks Crumm! I'm uploading a few teaser pics to Photobucket right now. I have to say I LOVE this new truck. It rides fantastic! I have to say it's a little too quiet though. I can't even hardly hear it running....(I'm a little partial to the rattle!) I can't wait to get the wheels/tires...

    Bell Plate Leak?

    I get it today.... I will post up pics as soon as I can snap some. It's a CC SB F-250 FX4. Black with Black Leather Captains Chairs, 18s (coming off in favor of aftermarket units), CD6, etc. I'll get some pics and the build sheet posted up soon! I really hope it does decent on...

    08 f-250 Being Delivered today!

    My 08 is being delivered this afternoon! I can't wait to get it. I have a new set of Chrome Moto Metal 951s with 325/60-18 M/T Baja ATZs waiting for it along with a new B&W Flip-Over GN hitch. It goes early next week for the spray in and tint. Then, the new DVD head unit, speakers, subs, and...

    2008 Superduty Sub Boxes

    I'm picking my '08 up this evening and I think (if my mind serves me correctly) that my box for 06 that was behind the back seat should fit in the 08. I'm going to have to remove the plastic tray back there, but I had to do that on the 06 as well, so no biggie. It's a custom unit that fits two...

    Bell Plate Leak?

    Yeah, it's very unfortunate. I wish that I didn't feel like I need to get rid of this one, but that dealer will never touch one of my rigs again. I picked up the new one from the dealer across the state where this one and my last one were both originally purchased. We'll see how the new one...

    Bell Plate Leak?

    I got the truck back and I have to say I was not impressed with the techs work on it whatsoever. They left my boost gauge line right next to the turbo and it melted after about 2 minutes...nice. Nothing was cleaned up under the hood, they left the truck literally trashed with hand/finger...

    Bell Plate Leak?

    Well, crappy news again...I picked the truck up Thursday night after shop hours and drove it straight home. I noticed the weird noise at all, but no CEL or leaks so I didn't worry too much. I loaded all my hunting gear up Friday after I took off early from work and headed down south toward...

    Bell Plate Leak?

    Well, I got it back last night. They didn't put the HPOP connector bracket on it.... I hear something weird under the hood too at idle, but I suppose that could just be me. We'll see what happens.

    Bell Plate Leak?

    It's definitely a warranty claim. I'm just worried about when I get it back! :dunno

    Bell Plate Leak?

    Yeah, that's correct. Bed plate. Thanks for the confidence. It was pretty nervewracking to walk in and see it all disassembled. I asked if they would look into the TSB on the HPOP while they had it apart and Todd said they would definitely take a look, so that's a good thing. Thanks...

    Bell Plate Leak?

    So, I took my truck into the local Dealer yesterday morning bright and early for a small oil leak that thought had already been fixed when the rear main was replaced. They gave me wheels to drive and my service advisor told me he'd call when he found something out. So, at 4:30 I get a...

    installing an air intake?

    I went with Outlaw Power and couldn't be happier with it. It took about 30 minutes to install and I seem to feel the difference, but who knows :dunno Definitely take Stephen's advice and do the research before you buy. I was just tired of changing the stock filter since it's a total PITA.

    2006-2007 PSD

    My '06 has 51k miles. The only real issue I've had was the rear main leak. It was fixed under warranty with no questions asked. My mileage is significantly improving as well. I'm getting 18 - 18.5 running 75 and over 19 if I keep it just under 70! I love it! I think most of the fuel economy came...
