How To Make 6.4 Theft Proof
They just prevent the engine from being started ? Why do you need one on an 08 ? They can't start it without the key, can they ? -

How To Make 6.4 Theft Proof
My '99 was stolen last fall. It ain't that simple, especially when mods are involved. I recovered my truck and got a decent insurance settlement because of it. Had it not been recovered, things might have been a lot different. -

How To Make 6.4 Theft Proof
Don't tell people what is on/in your truck and where you live either. Hide as much as you can, especially if you advertise it for sale. I'm not criticizing you when I say this, FF. -

New fuel system failed again in 15 minutes
Great. Now I need to go check my truck for this. -

How To Make 6.4 Theft Proof
My Job1 08 has it. I got spare keys cut, one without a chip. On Dodge trucks the SKIM functionality is optional. Its built right into the Cummins ECM. The ECM needs a message from the SKIM module or the engine starts and then shuts off. -

How To Make 6.4 Theft Proof
Don't all the 08s have the chipped keys (PATS) such that the engine cannot be started without the key ? How does one steal an 08 short of towing it away ? -

I'm going to start a build thread for my system. Do you think I should do it on PSA or MP3Car ?- me2

My trucks PC
I have a lot of the same goals as you. I have a Job1 08 King Ranch right now with the factory rear seat DVD player and the wireless headphones. It works really well, except that my head unit doesn't support Sync, it doesn't have a USB input, the nav sucks and there is no backup camera and...- me2

My trucks PC
I just bought an ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity. I'm going to embed it in my dash as my truck PC, sort of. I'm also going to run a dedicated server in the truck to send audio and video to various devices and to act as a wifi hotspot. I am going to use an ASUS EEBox PC running Linux for that...- me2

My tow pig/DD build thread. F350/Cummins 6.7/twins/6R140
I received a bunch of questions. "Why do you have to grind the frame flat after you weld it ?" I was told that because cracks will develop wherever there are big changes in stress and having the frame go from its normal thickness to the weld thickness and back to normal puts 3 areas of...- me2

My tow pig/DD build thread. F350/Cummins 6.7/twins/6R140
I'm still milling over what truck to do all this work on and what exactly I am going to do. I spent a couple hours driving my dad's 2011 on the weekend. Its a nice truck but the only real standouts over my 2008 were the seats. They were softer and better shaped in his truck, making them more...- me2

My tow pig/DD build thread. F350/Cummins 6.7/twins/6R140
Frame Stretching 101 I've been doing some homework on this, so here it is. Step 1. Talk to the insurance company. If you can't insure it, you can't license it. And if you can't license it, you can't drive it. It would be terrible to go to all the work to build it and then run into a...- me2

My tow pig/DD build thread. F350/Cummins 6.7/twins/6R140
I'm back. Another 1000+ miles this weekend on a long road trip. I did 450 miles last night alone, arriving back home at 2AM. Tired, but not exhausted. 08+ Superduties absolutely rock. 80 years of Fords. The entire chassis of the Model A will fit in the bed of my F350.- me2

The 08 has bigger brakes all around. The specs for both are in their respective body builder manuals.- me2

Fraudulent Ebay listing for 2011 F350 KR.
There are now 4 dealerships involved, at least 3 different people, each living in a different city, etc. Police are darn slow to investigate the situation even though I have given them a TON of information. -

Fraudulent Ebay listing for 2011 F350 KR.
It probably doesn't exist. Police are tracing the VIN now. I reported it to the authorities and to eBay. Seller hussles for payment but won't say where the truck actually is or let you look at it. The pictures for the truck came from an eBay sale a couple weeks back, from a different... -

Fraudulent Ebay listing for 2011 F350 KR.
FYI, this listing is a fraud. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-F-350-King-Ranch-/120985282346?forcev4exp=true If you have some time to kill, buy the truck and then ask to see it, especially if you live in Florida.
