    Found my new 4x4!!!

    I'm pretty sure that they make those things right around the corner from my house. If that is the one that they used in the new Transformer movie then they make em' right here. I've seen them driving those things out of the plant a few times. Its a good practice to go ahead and get out of the...

    Where do I send an oil sample?

    I tried to look through the site and couldn't find a link to where to send oil to get it checked out. I was trying to avoid posting a new thread. Anyway, could somebody post up a name or link to someone I can send this stuff too. Thanks.

    gift cards at walmart

    The only Wal-Mart here that sells gas doesn't have diesel on the menu. I could fill the boat up there but it's not on the way to the boat ramp. There is a gas station on the Navy base so I get unleaded there. Its usually three or four cents cheaper there. Too bad there are no Kroger stores...

    Hey folks...

    Well its the 29 gallon tank so I'll probably need a slash-and-go somewhere near Lake Charles or Orange. At least I still have the Perelli Scorpion tires it came with so the mileage wont be terrible. Its not going to be so great when I put the 35/12.50 Dick Cepek FC-II Radials on there. But...

    Hey folks...

    You think so? I haven't done a long road trip in it yet so I don't really know how far I can get on a fill up. Well its off to put in some fresh Rotella T and a filter. I'll have to check those websites out later and write down the info. Thanks guys.

    Hey folks...

    Yeah, that's where the Pilot and the Flying J are. I know that there is a Petro on the Houston side of Beaumont. I'm not sure I want to try my truck out on bio when I'm on a road trip though. I would hate to run into any problems with such limited time. I planned on switching to bio once I...

    Hey folks...

    Next weekend I'm taking a trip to Texas and I am going to do my best to get #2 diesel along the way. Will most truck stops be selling #2? I know the Pilot station here sells it. Do all of them or is it just random ones? Flying J? Loves? I'll be taking I-26 to I-20 into Atlanta. I-85 to...

    Don't just jump out there in traffic!

    It only has 16k on the clock but I might get a sample to check it out. I almost want to say it does some other funny stuff. For instance, if I don't have the brake on fully when I put it in reverse it doesn't always start a smooth roll. I don't do this all of the time but sometimes in the...

    Having fat friends makes you fat???

    That's why I've got one. Its way too much work to get out of a car. You have to practically stand up from sitting on the ground. With the truck all you have to do is twist and fall out onto your feet. It makes so much sense to have the seat at the same height as your butt while standing.

    Having fat friends makes you fat???

    I can already shoot holes in this scientific breakthrough. All of my friends stay the same size while I get bigger a little at a time. Hah! It is confirmed that the scientist is an idiot.

    Problems since 06E17 Recall

    I bet that they know exactly what the problem is but can't do anything about it because of the state required PCM flash. Or they could be complete idiots. Having never lived in California it is easy for me to say this, you should start looking for another state to reside. There is just too...

    Powerstroke Shop

    With brake pads that expensive they aught to be able to tell when to stop on their own. Now I watched a monster truck show the other day and the brakes on those were throwing sparks when applied. I want that! I can't imagine what people would think when they saw my brakes throwing molten slag...

    7.3L getting poor gas milage

    Your best bet is to try the B10 or see if you can get some #2 in the tank. Try that out for a while and see if the mileage gets better. That's the cheapest way to do it. There are some different oils that can also help. Some are pretty costly but its worth a shot if the fuel doesn't cut it...

    Don't just jump out there in traffic!

    Well it was a pretty good jolt. I guess I'll have to go out and punch it again a few times on good, smooth road and see if it does it again. Like I said, there could have been a pothole there but I don't remember. I don't know if it was just coincidence that I hit a pothole at the same time...

    Don't just jump out there in traffic!

    But will the turbo lag cause the truck to jerk really hard? I forgot to mention it but that is what happened. That's why I thought it had something to to with the TC. There very well could have been a pothole there but I don't remember for sure. I already knew about all of the turbo lag...

    Survey says...NO!

    So I'm sitting here surfing the web and checking email. I have the radio on with the TV on but muted and I look up and see an infomercial about this "revolutionary" fishing rod. Some little compact, one piece thing. The rod looks like its only 5 feet long. Yep, its one of those "take...

    Don't just jump out there in traffic!

    So I find myself in a situation where I needed to goose the throttle and get some power to the road. So I mashed the go pedal and nothing for about a second until the torque converter FINALLY locked up and put some ponies to the road. I'm thinking that the PCM has everything to do with not...

    '07 clarification

    The one's that I have crawled under have the same stuff as the '06 models and earlier. The sticker on the inside of the door should say '06 on it even though it was sold as an '07 model.

    500ppm in my 6.0?

    The '07 Ford trucks are really '06 trucks with an '07 sticker. Look on the door label and it should say '06. That's how Ford got away with selling '07 trucks while the new emission stuff was in the works. If you have a regular cat and no DPF on the exhaust, then your truck was made for 500ppm...

    When it rains, it pours.

    Looks like the truck was doing a little venting as well.

    New forum topic idea

    I just thought of something that could be a good idea or it could suck but here it is. How about a ULSD problem forum? It seems that there have been a few more guys with problems recently and if it gets traced to ULSD then it can be saved in this forum. It may not be used for anything more...

    Trinity River...........Lots-O-Water

    I haven't called home in a week or so and wonder if any of that water is filling up the Neches River. Usually, at this time of year, Rayburn is really low and the people there with lake houses get mad because they have to walk an extra 20 feet to get to the water. Well I'm sorry rich people...

    My add-a-leafs suck

    For the back springs...sure but NEVER for the front. High speed turns will put multiple stresses on the blocks in the front that the rear will never see. If the stress is strong enough from multiple directions, the suspension could spit those blocks right out. There was a good one-page blurb...

    Dont Forget To Set The Parking Brake, OR ELSE!!!

    Can you REALLY remember something that you forgot?:sly Don't worry, I did it with my first truck. Got in and took it out of gear to start it but right before I turned the key I remembered I forgot something. I jumped right out and went for the door. It wasn't until I was putting the key in...
