    Keyless Entry Kit

    I'm selling my '05, and got a '97 to replace it, but I'm REALLY going to miss the keyless entry pad on the door my '05 has. I'm wondering if anyone has seen any aftermarket kit to put a pad on the door of my '97 F350. The '97 is an XLT with power locks, but I haven't gone to a dealership yet to...

    coil over conversion

    They sell kits to do this, but they're VERY expensive. I, personally, don't see the point. Leaf springs are always going to be a lot stronger. Mine has coils, but if I ever have any problems with the front end it's getting changed to leaf springs.

    10 Bolt to 8 Bolt Rims

    You'd come out ahead to sell your truck and buy one that's already 2wd.

    badges?

    There aren't any holes behind the powerstroke badges, but the rest of the emblems have 'em.

    Lift question

    It is. That was a truck we had bought with a smashed font end and when we fixed it, we already had a set of orange turn signals and didn't care how they looked(just and XL crummy, anyways). The friend of mine that bought it doesn't care either. It does have the 02-04 headlights though.

    05 truck with 04 seats?

    My '05 has a center seat, and a friend of mine bought an '07 new from the dealer with the same setup.

    Lift question

    We just put a revtech 6 inch lift and 37x13.50 Toyo MT's on a friend of mine's '03 F350 a few weeks ago. He hasn't had any problems or complaints. Here's a picture of it: He doesn't have a front bumper on it because he wants to either get a painted bumper for it or build a custom one.

    wheel sizes

    The guy at les schwab here in town told me that if it came with 17's from the factory (which my '05 did) they'll be alright, but if it came with 18's, they have bigger brakes in back and 17's won't fit. A friend of mine with an '07 with 18's told me the same thing, but I'd check the tire stores...

    What size wheels?

    Nope, they won't fit. They'll rub the calipers.

    First totalled 08?

    I'm wondering if the DPF could be to blame with their early flame-thrower problems, and it kinda looks like the fire started underneath the truck, but it's not burnt around the exhaust tips. Maybe some junk got stuck to the filter and caught fire during regen mode? It doesn't say what caused it...

    First totalled 08?

    found a second totalled '08 today: F450 King ranch 6.4 in Utah, but not even I would buy this one: https://www.iaai-bid.com/getimage.aspx?imagetype=0&imageid=29822078 https://www.iaai-bid.com/getimage.aspx?imagetype=0&imageid=29822080...

    First totalled 08?

    It's at a salvage auction in texas, selling the whole thing, it does have the 6.4, and it's only got 1400 miles on it. I would love to buy it because it would be such an easy fix and easy seller, but I just don't have the money right now for another rebuilder, got too many now anyways, but it...

    Suspension Leveling Kit ???

    Oh, I just remembered that I should add that my stock shocks work fine on mine even at full droop.

    Suspension Leveling Kit ???

    I got the Skyjacker 2.5" kit on mine. it came with new 2.5" taller coil springs for the front and 1" add-a-leaves for the rear. It came from ebay shipped for $318. I really like how it sits, but I don't think it really needed the rear lift to clear. The back's just a hair taller than the rear...

    What is the best way...

    You'd have to have a pretty crappy paint job (MAACO, perhaps) to strip paint off of a body with a pressure washer or a steam cleaner. We have a pressure washer here that we use all the time that has never peeled paint off of a vehicle, and I've never seen a car wash that didn't have a pressure...

    Spare Tire Lowering Contraption

    I got mine out pretty easily: I found a socket that is just the right size and a long extension for it, then drove the socket onto the lock. Then I could turn the spare down, and I was lucky enough that when I pulled on the extension, the socket was rusty enough that it held and pulled the lock...

    FX4: What exactly is it?

    It comes with a limited slip rear end, too.

    Truck Cap Q's?

    A canopy from a dodge mounted on a ford will look goofy because the dodge bed is narrower at the rear. It will work, though. My neighbor did it to his super duty, but it doesn't look quite right. Also, I had a '96 ford with raised canopy that I could BARELY fit my '95 polaris sportsman under...

    6.0's Running BD or WVO?

    I'm going to run straight WVO when mine's done. I'll be using the kit from vegistroke.com. We've converted a lot of 7.3 Turbos, 7.3 powerstrokes, and cummins' to run on it, but this will be our first 6.0, and our first bought kit. I have a great uncle in Louisiana that converted his '04 when it...

    2008 F250 on Extreme 4x4

    When did they go from having the new ones on saturday's to sundays?? I missed it because my DVR was set for saturday morning and I didn't realize it was changed until sunday afternoon. I tried to watch it on their web site but you have to pay itunes $2 to download it. Oh well, I set a timer for...

    opinions: F250 vs. F350

    I've also noticed this site seems to be a "nicer" place than others. Blueovalforums is about the worst. Nothing but arguing there.
