    Traveling thru nanny states. Would a compound fix the issue?

    I'm considering a trip up North where I'd need to cross PA, NY and MA on the way. I have read about horror stories where trucks that were put on a diet puffed a little smoke at the wrong time and ended up impounded, fined, bla bla bla, etc. Needless to say I wish to avoid this. My mods are in...

    Ball joint on the end of the track bar (on the axle.)

    Truck has developed a bit of a wander. So I got underneath it and had wifey wag the steering wheel and found the problem. It's the ball joint on the end of the track bar at the axle. Clearly sloppy. Called 2 dealers, one said $375 the other $595. Wondering two things 1. Is there a...

    Absolute Performance leaking Intercooler. **update Installed No Limit Intercooler

    I've got the Absolute Performance Intercooler on my truck. Been on there about 55,000mi. Truck has always used a little coolant from the secondary, but I passed that off to a slight leak from the hose connection above the passenger head. I've chased it several times, but never been able to...

    Is Proven still a thing?

    I have SOTF Chaos w/ the GTX now and he's a ghost. Chaos tunes run OK, but it smokes pretty hard just before downshifting, it hisses at idle (which my '12 didn't) and this annoys me, the mpg isn't great either, EGT's can get kinda high when towing. Wondering if Proven tunes should be my next...

    Tesla Style stereo for '16 F350

    Saw this on All Out Industries website a couple months ago and pre-ordered it. Came in Saturday and I found some time to install it on Sunday. I had a Sync3 unit in the truck and this is far superior. Still a few quirks to work out, but it's really powerful and works well. I LIKE it!!

    '16 aftermarket fuel filters kit

    I'm pretty technical, but I let Ford change my oil and fuel filters. When I did the math 10yrs ago the price was about the same and I didn't have to deal with 13qts of waste oil. They were a little expensive on the fuel filter side, but those darn filters from Ford are pretty expensive . I...

    Singing in the Rain

    This truck is a towing MONSTER. We loaded up the toyhauler (a 34' Work and Play) last Thursday and headed for a funeral in Indiana and then on to visit my family 50mi west of Chicago. Bought the Propride hitch to control sway because prior trips with the Reese Straightline anti-sway sucked...

    Let's talk non-Diet tuning and mods

    I had a '12 that was put on a diet w/ the mm, g3arhead tune, 5" exhaust, egr, NL intake etc. It ran like a raped ape and got 18mpg doing it at 80mph. Towed a big toyhauler like a champ too. Great. Only thing I didn't like is that it was real hard on tires :D Maybe a left foot problem. Wifey...

    Flat bed w/ body like sides

    I was talking to my father the other day about flat beds for the new F450 he needs to get. Told him there was a company making a flat bed that the side on looked just like they were part of the original bed. Seems like they were fold out toolboxes too - though I'm not sure about this part...

    Fraud like this makes me wonder...

    ...if all the studies on diesel particulates are a hoax and the whole industry has been turned upside down based on fraud. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/07/04/epa-funded-lab-faked-research-results-on-respiratory-illnesses-whistleblower-lawsuit-claims.html So much fraud in the research...

    non-d3leated tunes, any improvement...?

    At this point in time I am not d3leated. Yes, I know all the advantages, my '12 was and it ran terrific. I still have all the hard parts, but for now, the '16 will not be d3leated. At some point I likely will, but not yet. I don't even mind DEF as the first tank lasted over 4,000miles. The...

    Getting the goodies put back on...

    Since I need stability to be hauling and space for new 37" tires I needed to put all my stuff back on the new '16. So today, I got on it. 1st up was the rear suspension (traction bars, airbags, shocks, etc) but as I crawled under, the running boards were hitting me so they came off first...

    Little history, had all my stuff on a '12 that wifey got in an accident with and I traded for the same truck, but in a '16. Still have to put all my goodies back on the '16. My tires are getting thin and I need to get new ones. I want to make a change to the Nitto Ridge Grappler 37". I think...

    Hot Shotting w/ my 6.7
