    I have no clue what’s wrong with my truck?

    It’s a 2004 studded and ******d tuned truck. It’s an 03 build 03 turbo etc. I will do my best to explain what it’s doing. Couple months ago it started a bad surge issue. It would surge during normal driving but at stop lights and traffic it’s borderline dangerous. It will launch the truck...

    Not sure if trans is hurt or not?

    I made a post earlier asking about transmissions because I was dead set it was hurt. Now I’m not sure. Below is a couple observations over the last few weeks. Is there a solenoid or a sensor that will cause the trans to not shift? Randomly it will struggle to shift to 3 or 4 all other times...

    Quick towing question?

    I'm renting a 33ft Camper this weekend. My guess is it's 10-12k lbs. Do I need to use tow/haul button on my truck? Better yet for future reference when does that button need to be on. Thanks guys.

    Rust bubbles.

    It's happening on both rear quarter panels above the tires. This truck is extremely clean otherwise. Obviously I am gonna have to get it to a body shop to be fixed but how can I prevent this? I really don't wanna do fender flares unless I have too. If the truck sees salt. I wash it...

    I'm guessing it's the starter?

    Been between 5-10 degrees the last 2 days and wife drove the truck due to snow. She called today and said it wouldn't start......sounds to me like the starter is just spinning not catching at all to try and turn the motor over. My guess is the last 2 days of cold starts trashed the starter...

    Have a few questions?

    I have Bonestock 2004 6.0. From what I read they all have block heaters correct? It doesn't look mine has the cord though? Not a big deal looks like the cord can be had for $25. The truck has the high idle mod though which suprised me as soon as I tap the break it goes away. Does that mean...

    I have a 2004 F-250 with 124k miles. Super clean truck. Just did the oil change and fuel filters over the weekend. My question is....is it even worth it to completely flush the coolant (has the green in it now). Switch over to Red Cat ELC do EGR ****** new oil cooler with a coolant filter...
