    Locking hubs

    Question: 2012 F250. Manual locking hubs are a little tight. Being 6years old and not cycled often or ever taken off, is it worth taking them apart and cleaning/relubing or upgrading them?

    FX4 Rancho shocks

    Anyone have issues with them . I have had 3 friends of mine, 1-2011 F250 gas and 2- F250 diesels have had to replace their shocks before 30k. Garage queens, none are work tricks or have ever been off-road . Have not checked mine yet.

    Towed for the first time

    Towed my dump trailer with the tractor and some other equipment on it yesterday. (Probably only around 8k including trailer) Very impressed how well it pulled, not much down shifting to accelerate up hills and pulled like a dog on a chain on a flat road. Much smoother than my o6 stock.

It is enough slop that when I park I am careful to hold...

    Joining the club

    Well, let the 06 F350 go and got into a 2012 F250 Lariat, all the bells and whistles. I must say, very impressed so far. fuel mileage looks real good and stock power is very good.
