    08 F350 dually horrible fuel mileage

    I always hand calclulate, but the mileage calculator is always within a tenth of the hand calc. As far as slowing down, I preach it all the time. But Im not not run 55mph out on the open freeway here in Tx when the speed limit is 75, because then Im just a traffic plug. I run hotshot, so I...

    08 F350 dually horrible fuel mileage

    Ive thought about that, but everything Ive read says the stock air intake/filter is sufficient for what I have. This truck isnt a hot rod, its a work truck. But at the same time, every little bit of fuel savings is $ in my pocket at the end of the day.

    08 F350 dually horrible fuel mileage

    Im not one to usually ask this type of question, but my truck has me stumped. I picked up an 08 F350 drw flatbed work truck the beginning of December, it was bone stock with 180k mi. The dpf/cat were stolen off of it while the dealer had it. So I straight piped it and got an sct x4 tuner and...

    Nothing wrong with backing it on, but if it were 3ft back, all the weight would be on the trailer and it wouldnt squat the truck at all.

    What Do You Tow?

    I know its an old post and I hate to say it, but thats not loaded correctly. You've got the truck pulled way too far forward. With that trailer, you keep as much weight as possible on it. Theres no need to have that much pin weight on the truck.

    Blend Door Actuators, Pic Heavy

    How have I missed this sticky? Looks like I got some bad info on which actuator controls what. I had the one behind the radio replaced because my driver side temp will never get off 60*, of course no change & my mechanic didnt know where to go from there. Speaking of, what would cause the...

    Lifted trucks

    When I bought the truck I had a friend/acquaintance that had a GMC with 10" of lift on 39.5" Iroks. I wanted my truck just a bit taller to piss him off. I was gonna run 41" Iroks. When I started calling shops to find a 10" or 12" lift, there wasnt alot out for the 05s. So I decided to contact...

    Lifted trucks

    Well its actually be quite awhile, since I rolled it some years back and havent been able to finish rebuilding it :o Im hoping this year to have it back on the road though. Although Im kinda over the whole huge lifted truck thing. I might actually just sell the whole suspension set up and go...
