Question What did you do to your truck today?

[02stroker]

Replaced my junk facroty auto hubs with a set of Warn lock outs. Warn part number 11690 if anybody is interested. All I had to do was cut the vaccum line off at the hanger on the frame on both sides. Plugged the line going to the vaccum pump and installed a breather in the line to the spindle. Now I know the hubs are locked in.

I added the 3 bulb light bar on the back like Dually's have. Also installed lights in my toolbox, hooked them up to the Upfitter Switches. Ordered a Mag-Hytec front diff cover to match the rear I previously installed. Ordered Recon Smoked Cab Lights and Smoked Lenses for my mirrors. I'm gradually getting the new truck where I want it.

Finally got tired (enough) of the soot film build-up on the RR fender, so I had a Turn Down tip welded on.... re-painted the whole exhaust system with High-Temp Flat Black.. Looks Good

Put anuther coat of wax on the hood, roof and hips.

Life Is Good (er)

Well, since I don't have the F350 to work on anymore, the only thing I can report on
is my wife's Expedition. It has taken a back seat to the F350 for over 4 years.

So I have a lot of catching up to do in the way of taking better care of it.

Hope y'all don't mind if I report on what I do to it from time to time.

Saturday I washed it. Today I cleaned all the windows (inside and out) and
sprayed down the the tires with some shiney stuff.

Hope to vacuum it out good tomorrow.

I need some fuel mileage mods that I can do to the 5.4.

Would a better air intake filter/set-up help this gasser out?

Unfortunantly...the 5.4 is just not the most efficient engine... Air intake and exhaust will help, but you wont see any staggering gains like you would on a diesel. If it has the conical style air filter, you can replace it with an aftermarket one that will flow more air, and cut the housing out around it so that pretty much the entire filter is exposed.

Well, killed my 2nd alternator, so I installed this:

1999 & up Ford 7.3L & 6.0 PowerStroke Diesel, Ford Heavy Duty 200 Amp Alternator upgrade, Ford, Upgrade, 7.3 Liter, 6.0 liter

200 Amp, High Output, Heavy Duty.

Now, when I turn my light package on, the needle on my volt gage does not move.

Should have known all the stuff I installed would tax the little 110 A stock one.

To This:

Bout time. Had the stuff for months. Of course, I have to wait until it's 30 Degrees outside as usual......

Fuel leak revisited
This time a J30R9 return line burst. Big mess. Took apart the FPR and found a vegoil goo clog preventing the return fuel from entering a passage way. That's why it burst! Specifically I removed the snap ring on the bottom and removed the brass piece then cleaned the steel wool filter and removed the goo. I was shocked. Decided on replacing both return lines with new push-lock fittings but the driver's side fitting on the head is impossible to get to so I had to remove the battery cables, serp belt, A/C compressor, vacuum pump and supporting bracket just to get the new fitting on. I'm serious. But once aside it was so easy to thread the fitting. Yes it's finally leak free.

I wonder if Power Service 911 or other anti-gel product added would work in preventing that?
