    16 at the Dealership - Powersteering Pump took a Piss!!

    Well went to get the dually and fiver to go to the track this afternoon and notice a puddle of what looks like tranny fluid under the driver side of the front bumper. Truck has been sitting there for about 2 weeks or so and when parked no leaks, nothing. Well turns out it is Power Steering...

    New Shocks

    Well Ford still uses the most POS shocks on the new trucks. I figured something has changed but nope. Nothing from the 04-08-16 trucks. One down three to go. I usually use Bilsteins for everything and never had a problem. Switched it up see. They have less rebound as the Bilsteins I have...

    1996 Impala 31000 Miles

    My uncle is selling this car. I sold mine last year and regret it and have thought of just buying this one. But if anyone is interested let me know. It is one of the cleanest non-trailer queens I have seen. I have been around these cars since 2001 when I got mine. Went to shows and races across...

    Check your Hitches

    The other day I was at a friends house and noticed his hitch off the truck, late 2000's Chevy 3/4 ton. Well the hitch was cracked almost all the way around the receiver. He pulls a triple axle bumper pull toy hauler with the truck on a weight distributing hitch. I was shocked when I saw it. Even...

    F350 DRW Owners to Anyone that Tows A lot

    Coming from the 08 450 the back ned did not sage that much with the fiver on the truck. The pin is in the 4300+# range. The 450 was stock suspension with air bags. I would put about 35-40 psi in the bags so the truck sat level. With the 16 F350 with a 14000 GVWR I thought it would be fine, well...

    Newbie with Questions

    Putting air bags on the new dually the other day I noticed a square 6 prong plug on the frame above the axle on the driver side just rear of the DEF Tank. Whats it for? Also has anyone noticed that the stearing box is a slower ratio or is just me. Seems a lot slower than the 08 450.

    The new dually showed up the other night. The 08 is for sale if anyone is interested. 2016 F350 DRW 4x4 3.73 and 14000# GVWR. Loaded. Nice truck. It is a little different than driving the 450. The only way to describe it is the truck is less brutal suspension and power wise.

    Truck decided it needed to vent!!!

    After washing the truck yesterday I started the truck and heard a pop followed by an air compressor sound. I thought I had blown another up pipe or something. Well that was not it. The truck decided it needed a vent hole where the glow plug went for the passenger side rear cylinder. No codes...

    Shocks, change them if stock.

    Well my dually doesnt have a lot of miles on it so I thought that it was just the nature of the beast of driving a 450. Well nope, dump the stock shocks like they always have. I have always been a fan of Bilstein. This has been my 4th set I have bought including other vehicles. I like the just...

    Torque Converter - Decisions Decisions

    Well with the addition of more air, the TC towing the pig of a trailer is not too happy. The truck has enough power to not downshift now over the grades, which means more stress on the lock up. The lock up is not acting right. It will slip and catch. Not a constant RPM slip. I have been looking...

    Odd Sound at RPM

    Pulled the fiver to a night shoot last night. Leaving a stop sign I noticed an odd sound. It is almost like a metal to metal howl. You have to be in 2nd or 3rd, TC unlocked and RPM above 2250 (Might be throttle and load though also) If you get more into or out of the throttle it goes away...

    Blown boots.

    Has anyone cut an old boot and put a piece the entire circumference between the boot and the clamp. I am thinking the clamp is cutting into the boot and starting it. Sent from the bat phone near a drilling rig.

    EGR removal.

    How do you remove these damn things. A buddy had to have a smog check done on his truck after only the DPF delete and H&S tuner with the EGR shut off. After putting the DPF back on EGR codes popped up. Can't remember the numbers but they were stuck open and Min and max. I broke the thing in...

    Broken EBP Tube

    Think I found the air noise. I had it relocated to the block off plate up top. I think this will work better. 12" long -5an stainless. Also much cheaper than the tube. Zip tie up out of the way and good to go. Sent from the bat phone near a drilling rig.
