    How do you know if the Torque Converter is bad?

    Fall & Winter is coming...

    Get a good polish and sealer. That stuff will fall right off. I do that to my cars to keep them clean. I need to wax the truck.

    Changing shocks

    What mileage did you swap out the shocks on your truck? Another forum I'm on says Ford shocks are done around 20k and my truck is almost as 21k. It seems that the ride isn't as good as when it was new, but it could also be in my head. I already plan on going with Bilsteins when I change them out.

    High mileage 6.7 powerstrokes

    As I said, I'm sure I would be upset too. I haven't blown up my truck, but I've blown up other engines from pushing things a little hard. And yeah, the cost was about the same as you're spending. So I understand the money side. There were issues in the first couple of years. A guy I know with...

    Ford Navigation Map Update

    I started pricing one on Ford's website. Between the looks and the price I couldn't do it.

    6.0L WITH P0405 CODE

    Double check that you have the EGR turned off in the tune. If it's not off its still looking for the valve.

    F350blown, I get you're upset. I'm sure I would be too. But you need to step back and take a breath. Blowing up every thread isn't going to help. Every first generation had issues. Now you can Google and search. But when you bought your truck I'm sure there wasn't much info. All I can say is...

    Insulating a Camper Shell

    I have a crew cab, so I they wouldn't be on my shoulder. My kids would be a different story. Guess I should update this, I contacted some places, but naturally no one makes a "drop in" insulation. The is to get the Lizard Skin ceramic since it's something I can do at home. Unfortunately life...

    That's definitely a good fix for your issue.

    New F350 6.7 SWB SRW

    That is possible. I know the GT500's are programmed to limit power for the first few hundred miles.

    New F350 6.7 SWB SRW

    It'll keep going up. I noticed an increase until a little after 15k. Although it seemed to still be doing better and I just turned 20k.

    Noob First Time Super Duty Owner

    Welcome. Unloaded I see 13-14mpg around town. On the freeway I see 18-20. When towing my boat the freeway mpg drops to 14-15. I have a pretty big mountain to get over. But the truck has no problems getting over it.

    Question Bilstein shocks

    I usually tighten down the nut until the bushing is the same diameter as the washer. No problems in the last 20 odd years doing it.

    High mileage 6.7 powerstrokes

    That's the plan for mine as well. I have other vehicles to tinker on.

    High mileage 6.7 powerstrokes

    I remember when I first joined someone has a 2011 with something like 350k on it. He used it for hauling cars I believe.

    Question Today's Question for the Class

    Does that model have an EGR valve? Reason I ask is when I built my 01 I had a surge at part throttle I couldn't figure out. It was fine accelerating and decelerating. But any kind of constant throttle position cause surging and bucking. During this time I was fighting a CEL indicating low EGR...

    Question Rear Axle Servicing

    I've tried Royal Purple oil and gear oil in the past. I didn't see any change or improvement that justified the cost. So I haven't bothered with it since.

    Program issues

    I'd try to find out who the tune is from. Usually an aftermarket tune over rides the engine and transmission parameters. So if that's the case with your current tune I don't think the Ford flash would fix it. Did they say anything about checking fluid condition? Has it done this since you...

    garret turbo

    I would think the whole assembly should be balanced. You're changing a big part of something that can spin to 100k rpm. Were you going to rebuild yourself or send it out?

    Batteries...........

    I have Duralast batteries in all my other vehicles. Including my boat. No issues with them so far. Otherwise I'd stick with Motorcraft.

    Central Vacuum Setup ?

    One of the trailers we looked at had a central vac set up. We thought it was a good idea.
