    moving the rear seat???

    Nevermind. You're putting W3s behind it. We looked at those as an option, but the depth was going to be a pain. So, I went with the w1s and they sound kick@ss back there.

    moving the rear seat???

    I put mine in a box that the stereo shop had already built and I didn't have to move the seat forward at all. I'll try to get some pics this evening.

    New Shocks and Bags...

    So, my order came in yesterday with several products for my clients and a couple of toys for the PSD... I put new Bilstein 5150s on the nose as the rears are still in production, but backordered. The truck drove sooo much differently with new shocks. The BDS units that had been under it for...

    Got Some Good News Today

    I'm pretty sure I'd go insane without my truck for 2 months. I left it down home for 2 weeks once just to attempt to keep the miles off of it, and I couldn't handle it! I ended up down home the next weekend picking it up because I "had" to tow some stuff! :thumbs

    SuperDuty Tow & Transport Pics (What Are You Pulling Out There)

    Here's my last trip. LT1 CJ that belongs to my Buddy with One-tons and 40s, and my TJ on 35s. Truck got over 9 mpg pulling that tall load. I was pleased!

    Got weird smoke...

    Mine did this a while back, but it quit when I pulled the tuner and drove it a little while. I ended up putting a milder tune in it and haven't noticed it since. Keep in mind, mine did it when loaded to about 28k GVWR.

    Thinking about doing the trade

    Yeah, I really like my truck. And, the aftermarket options for mine are becoming much more friendly. The '08s technically can't even be chipped. Plus, my cousin traded his '07 F-350 CCSB 4x4 PSD in on a new one and he wishes he'd never traded. :cowboy: Thanks!

    Thinking about doing the trade

    After a ton of thought, it looks like I'm going to keep my truck. I'm going to put some new Bilstein Shocks on it, probably swap out wheels/tires, and get the SCT from Elite. That should about do it. Not only was the new truck going to cost me to trade, but the cost of the other toys that would...

    Thinking about doing the trade

    Thanks for the info Bush. I'm really not trading for the moonroof. What I would be trading for is a new platform to build. I have an automotive accessories distributorship and so accessorizing is kind of what we do. As for loss on current mods, the dollars are very minimal. I also like the...

    Thinking about doing the trade

    I completely understand. We'll see what the dealer ends up coming up with for the final dollars and then I'll weigh the options. I cleaned mine up last night just so I can set the two side by side and make the conscious decision. Thanks fellas.

    Thinking about doing the trade

    Thanks for the add. I've talked to several more folks today that are very happy with their trucks. My service manager buddy said he's only had to do a t-stat on one. He said they are 100 times better than the 6.0 as far as build quality out of the box.

    Thinking about doing the trade

    I know the owner of the dealership very well. We actually duck hunt together, so I'm not worried about them feeding me a line of BS. They typically have a huge selection of nice used trucks and right now they have nill. My biggest issue is the fact that I can literally trade for the exact same...

    Thinking about doing the trade

    I'm just worried about long term value vs. current value. It always seems that when a new model comes out, it kills the old one's value. They're offering me a load for mine on trade and I get X-plan. I don't know, it's a tough decision. I'd really like to have virtually no turbo lag. Pulling...

    Thinking about doing the trade

    Yeah, I have definitely considered that. And, if I end up keeping mine, I'll be getting the SCT from Elite which should hopefully jack up my highway mileage. :sly among other things...

    Thinking about doing the trade

    Alright, here's the deal. I have the dealer trying to get me to trade trucks. They "really need" some good used trucks right now, and they're offering me a helluva deal on a new '08. The truck is literally loaded out with the exact same options as my current '06. My truck has 45k miles on it and...

    Turtle Wax ICE

    I used the ICE liquid last night after reading rave reviews about it on here. I liked it! It went on with ease and came off without too much work. I did have a couple of streaks that took a little more to polish, but overall it was great! My boss uses the car wash and loves it!

    getting hard to start

    Holy cow! The batteries were bad already? I guess it's time to check mine and if need be order some yellow tops!

    Fuel economy upgrades

    The taller, wider tire and the lift will kill your mileage. My truck with a 2" leveling kit and 35s gets about 16 on the highway. My dad's on the other hand that is stock height on stock 20s can get 19....ergs me every time we compare log books but his truck looks like a cigar on wheels running...

    Transfer Tanks

    Honestly, I haven't asked. I'm sure they would if need be. That or I could just have them build me a custom tank that would hold max. capacity and fit perfectly underneath my truck box....that would be cheap i'm sure! :eek: But, then again, it would be done and done right. Who knows. We'll...

    getting hard to start

    Mine too has just over 43k miles on it and it's been taking longer to start. It doesn't seem like the batteries are down or anything, I just think it's probably time to change the fuel filters again. I'm also going to clean the EGR (nothing to do with starting) as the dealer cleaned my dads and...

    Transfer Tanks

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm going to head up to Northern tool this weekend most likely and pick up their 37 gallon tank. It's small enough to fit under my box and looks like it should work pretty well. I'm probably going to spend the dough and go the KSH Marine install kit with the...

    Transfer Tanks

    Thanks to both of you all. Maxtor, I unfortunately figured out recently that carrying 5 gallons of diesel just in case is ALWAYS a good option. Thinking you can make it to the next station because fuel there is 12 cents a gallon cheaper is never a good plan when heavily loaded... :dunno...

    Transfer Tanks

    Alright folks, I'm going to have to put an aux tank in my truck. I can't go more than about 325 miles fully loaded with the GN on and it's driving me nuts! I have a Delta Pro Tool Box in the bed now and I don't think there's enough room in the Short box for an upright tank in front of the...

    6.0 reliability

    I love my truck. It's an 06 with over 42k on it. I bought it new and have done all the regular maintenance. I had a switchable quad box on it and sold it to go to a tow box. I'm much happier with this option. The tranny knows how much power is always there and I can hook onto my 30' DO GN with...

    use a power washer or a powerful wand at the car wash! That's how the lettering came off mine the first time and then ford warrantied them :D
