    Tuning for high elevation?

    Going to be headed out to Colorado and Utah in a few months, and was just wondering if I would be able to get some tuning that would help in the mountains? Last year when I was in Colorado, I had a hell of a time getting the truck spooled since I had no load on it. Felt like when you blow a...

    E-locker or Truetrac?

    Well I have finally decided to swap out the limited slip in my F250. I've been debating now for weeks and can't make up my mind lol. I know a lot of people run the Truetrac and love them, but have been also looking at swapping an E-locker out of the 2011 and up trucks into mine. I know I'll lose...

    Front Diff Cover

    Want to install a new front diff cover when I change the gear oil in my front axle. Been looking at the Yukon, Dynatrec, and ARB, something a little more stout than the oe cover. Anybody have any experiences with any of these and clearance issues with steering? This will be for a 2000 F250.

    Spun Bearing?

    So my truck has developed a knocking noise :cursing:. The weird thing is that it's intermittent. No knocking when under acceleration, only when idling. I was going to get a video after working today, but of course no knocking noise. Even when it does, it sometimes just goes away. Pisses me...

    Low Compression

    Well I did a cold compression test on the engine today. All cylinders read between 280-300 psi. Does the truck have to be warmed up and then do the test, or was it fine the way I did it? Sounds like it's time for a rebuild or new engine? :doh: Truck is right at 312,000 miles. Runs well except...

    Crank, No Start

    Well I went to start my truck this morning and it would't start. This week it started getting a little blue smoke at start up. Idled a little rough then smoothed out once warm. This morning it won't fire. Cranks fine, get white smoke out of the tail pipe, smells like fuel. Injectors? Truck ran...

    Irate regulated return

    Was looking at picking up Irates complete standard fuel kit for my truck. And before anyone says to just build my own, I just don't feel like going that route lol. My question is does anybody have experience with the deatschwerks pump it comes with? I only found one thread on the site about it...

    Touchscreen

    Finally upgraded to a touchscreen. 7 inch Pioneer. Gonna be nice being able to connect to it with bluetooth lol. Although now that I'm looking at the pic, I should've color matched the install kit trim. IMG_20180428_114936822 by greyford79, on Flickr

    Front wheels won't spin after brake job.

    So I changed some brakes today and now the front wheels don't spin. Done a million brake jobs and first time I ever had this issue. Replaced calipers as well. Rear spin freely, front ones don't. Caliper pins and piston move freely. Rotor spins freely on both sides until wheel is torqued, then...

    Misfire during idle

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2et-WY-s0c0&feature=youtu.be Well my truck has been running great until I went to leave work this afternoon. Turned on the truck and noticed it started to miss at idle. While driving there was no loss of power and seamed to drive just like normal. No CEL at...

    No cruise control

    Well I have no cruise in my 2000 and I have searched all over the net, and pretty much finding the same thing. My switch on the brake booster is new, my buttons on the steering wheel are new, but no cruise. All brake lights work, horn works, speedo works and didn't really see any loose...

    Head Gaskets

    About what does it generally cost for having a headgasket job done on a 7.3. Not sure yet if this is my issue, haven't done any testing yet as I'm at work, but I may have blown a head gasket. Puking coolant out of the over flow tank. I can get all the parts through work since I get a discount...

    Valve Springs

    I've searched, but couldn't really find what I wanted. Gonna be doing new valve springs and pushrods this spring. I've read about many people running the comp cams springs. Any issues with them? Something better out there, like the Swamps springs? Not some big power truck, but it's still rolling...

    1999-2004 Front Hanger kits.

    I have 2 sets of Front hanger and shackle kits I'm getting rid of for 99-04 Super Dutys and Excursions. The first set was on the truck when I bought it. Not sure of the exact size since it sat a tad higher than it does with the new kit, I'm guessing maybe 2.5" or 3". Only thing with it is the...

    Reman Alternator

    Do the Ford reman alternators suck on these trucks or is it just me? I'm on my second one since early September and possibly have another bad one. I'm currently charging the batteries and will test everything to make sure it's not something else such as faulty connections. Also going to test...

    New Trans

    So my trans has been starting to take longer to shift and bangs into third if I'm on it a little harder than normal, mainly when getting on the expressway. It's the original trans with 290,000 miles on it. Worth even flushing and doing new fluid or will I be looking to put a new one in it soon?

    No Throttle issue

    So on my way to bank after work today, my throttle pedal just stopped working today. At first I thought the truck shut off but it was running just fine, just no throttle. Each time i pressed it while coasting I got no response, just the service light. I had put a brand new oem pedal in it last...
