    Flying "J"/Pilot RV fuel card.

    Being a full time RV'er I find that most fuel stations right off of the interstate exits are higher than those further off the highway. While towing I generally use Flying-J or Pilot with the RV Frequent Fueler card. I am at about .05 off per gallon at this point, but it convenient they have...

    Heartland makes a very good coach in their price point.

    My Baby's in the shop

    I feel your pain. My truck blew a hoe adapter just outside Des Moines, IA in October. Got truck and 5er towed to a local RV Park, then Ford paid to tow the truck to the Ford dealer. When I called the dealer to arrange for the truck to get towed and a rental car (I have ESP) the service writer...

    Intermittent White Smoke......

    in cool damp weather my 2008 used to blow some white smoke when going thru the regen process. Don't know if this happens in the new one too. I haven't noticed it with my 2012........yet

    Need an Exhaust Gas Temp Gauge?

    I admit that I do need to add one for monitoring egt while towing. as far as cool down, when I stop I shut down the motor, exit, lock the doors and use my remote start to restart the motor. It runs for 15 minutes then shuts down.

    2008 trucks

Someone else may be able to better explain the Job #, but it relates to a date range on...

    Engine Seized

    OK. So now I am asking for a definition. What is Hydrolocked? Aside from this thread (first time I've heard of this condition), I recently read an article discussing a hydrolocked cylinder.

    Noise when windy

    First; my truck is a 2008 F-450 King Ranch. When driving on a highway (60-70 mph) on a windy day I occasionally hear a strange humming noise kinda, like someone blowing into a kazoo. It isn't constant, it is occasional and short in duration. It sounds like it is coming from under the dash...

    Truck Guage Question

    A while back I remember a digital gauge that showed EGT Temp, Tranny Temp and I think Water Temp in a single rectangular unit. I don't recall the manufacturer. Does anyone know if that still exists and who manufacturers it?

    Factory Brake Controller

    One other iem to check are the wires to the trailer brakes. most RV manufacturers route them thru a hole in the frame where they are notorious for chaffing and shorting to ground.

    200,000 mile ESP?

    Unloaded 15. Towing 9. The new ones get much better mileage. While at the dealer I was looking at a 2012 F450 they had on the lot. It was just what I would want except for Navigation and Moonroof. Two big $$$ I don't want nor need.

    200,000 mile ESP?

    I stopped at a Ford dealer yesterday. I have 65K on my truck. They offered me 36 months/48K miles. I could buy a longer term but $$$$$ talks. The 36/48 offered they offered my is 3 grand for the PremiumCare plan and 2700 for the ExtraCare plan.

    F-450 and Ball Joints

    I have heard, but don't remember where, that the F-450's are hard on ball joints. Is this true? I was towing my 5th wheel RV and I noticed it seemed to be wandering all over the road. Very unnerving when pulling a 17K # trailer. PO'ed a bunch of truckers too when it drifted while they were...

    Loss of power

    what i have been told is this: Last winter I had an issue while in Texas where I the check engine light came on. Apparently the sensor in the exhaust AFTER the DPF was bad and not telling the computer to clean the filter. Since I was over 50K miles that was no longer covered by the emission...

    built in NAV system

    I went in to the Ford service screen for my truck. Under the list of service performed there is a list of online manual. There are 3 versions of the Pioneer Navigation System. I guess, at least mine is, manufactured by Pioneer.

    built in NAV system

    For my 2008, I got an update DVD from NAVTEK. There is a screen in the NAV setup section where you can set preferences, but that is extremely limited. There is only like 2 options. I bought the new DVD because I was driving thru San Antonio and the Nav unit got lost. said there was no road...
