    2019 F250 KR shocks

    I upgraded my shocks to the Bilstein 5100's a while back and they ride good when empty, and medium load, but when pulling a tongue heavy cargo trailer and my 5th wheel I tend to get a lot of up and down bounce in the rear. I used these on my old 2008 f250 and they worked great so I anticipated...

    2019 tuning

    I've had my 2019 for a few months now and pretty much narrowed down that I want the Ezlynk tuner, but I can't decide on the best route to purchase, and what tunes. My old 6.4 I used a Mini-max and loved it, and the way I could switch between tunes, trans tunes, etc, but from what I am seeing...

    Theft risk?

    How hard are these newer superdutys to steal? I've heard of 2 of them nearby stolen within the last week. I thought with the fob, and the newer tech on these things it would be harder to steal? One of these was caught on camera and it looked like they were in the truck about 30 seconds or...

    Trailer charge wire solution

    I wasn't getting a charge at my trailer plugs, and troubleshooting wasn't working,,,, BUT after a while I did find the issue, and learned exactly how it works. I see many others have had issues, so hopefully this will help others that are having issues too. https://youtu.be/DHZRp94Bwds

    2019 engine temps while towing

    Curious what everyone is seeing for engine & transmission temps while towing. First trip with my new to me 2019 towing 33' 5th wheel and boat behind (~14k total) and it is running hotter than my 2008 did. Granted, outside air temps were about 95-98 degrees, but I was seeing engine temps around...

    Upgraded to 2019, where did the fun go?

    Love my 2008 w/6.4 and the way it drives. That thing is a tire frier any time I throttle it. This new to me 2019 pulls hard and has good torque, but man,,,, they have the thing tuned down where it won't even break a tire loose! It seems the power doesn't really come on until you are rolling...

    Trailer charge line draining trailer battery while engine off

    Anyone ever leave your trailer plugged into the truck while it's not running and have it drain your trailer battery? Once the truck starts it's charging fine, but shut it off and there is about a 1amp drain on that line. Pulled the relay and unplugged the trailer, test light on positive, probe...

    low compression on 1 cyl

    Got a few thousand miles on the full rebuild and starting to hear 1 cyl with low compression. As you crank it to start, if it hits that cyl you can hear an obvious low compression. When idling, it sounds like just a weak cyl, but while driving it all runs fine and you don't feel or hear any...

    Best headlights

    I have painted my headlights several years ago, but the lenses are just getting in too bad of shape with spider cracking all over them. Upgraded to LED bulbs last year and they brightened things up where I can see where i'm going, but they blind other drivers. I'm looking to upgrade to...

    torque converter locked up at stop light

    Had an odd and surprising thing happen just now. Sitting at a stop light idling, after about a minute or so the torque converter locked in and I lunged forward. Barely stopped it before hitting the car in front of me but the engine died. Neutral, started up, put it back in gear and all was...

    Sterling limited slip chatter

    Recently changed the fluid in my rear axle with Valvoline synthetic that supposedly has the friction modifier in it. Started noticing a chatter while towing and turning while under heavy load. Seemed to get worse so I added more friction modifier. It changed from more of a clunk clunk as I...

    6.4L Bare Block

    Had a cracked piston on #5 and scored the cyl wall. That cyl was bored .020 over and cleaned up pretty well, but still has a small spot. Could go to .030 over and be ok or sleeve it. All other cyl are stock and look good. It has been in the vat to clean it up so the other cyl have a slight...

    Cracked piston

    Pulling the camper at 70mph, slight hill so boost was likely around 30-35, engine temp around 205-215 area, all of a sudden one cyl drops out and lots of white smoke. Pull over and it blew a glow plug grommet off making a nice oil mess. Got it towed home. Compression check says Cyl #5 has 0...

    Factory replacement or aftermarket navigation system

    I currently have a 2008 F250 with the factory navigation system. I'm having issues with the GPS not picking up signal and it even recently doesn't respond to the secret passageway to get into the system setup. I have already tried replacing the GPS antenna with better results. Currently I use...

    Driveline vibrations

    2008 F250, crew cab, 6.4, short bed, 4x4, stock height. Daily driving is fine, but when towing I get major driveline vibrations through 1st gear, reduced in 2nd but still there, by 3rd all is smooth. It's always had it but seems to be getting worse. I'm towing a 36ft 5th wheel so i've got at...

    Cervini ram air hood

    Anyone have a Cervini ram air hood? I bought one and am contemplating an issue. Per the pictures, I didn't realize the ram air was as 'open" as it is. I thought maybe the scoops were a little deeper before they just open up under there. I definitely like the airflow, but i'm concerned about...

    5r110w Reverse issue

    Rebuilt my 5R110w a few years back and it's been fine, except for the occasional slow reverse engagement. Go from drive to reverse, touch the throttle too quick and you would get a little shudder then it would lock in solid. I was also noticing a little flare between some of the shifts, so I...
