    Correct "turbo-diesel" emblems...

    I'm surprised some anal retentive in Florida hasn't turned in that plate. (I think it's great!) There was a guy in West Palm Beach who had a personalized Florida plate URAPNES on his German sports car. The guy was told to turn it in, in spite of his protestations that it meant "EUROPEANESS"...

    Changed the Fuel Filter Today

    Bud Lite. :rotflmao After all Budweiser is similar to making love in a canoe. Both are f**king close to water!

    ALTERNATOR NUT SIZE

    It's a new Ford innovation to prevent fuel gelling. If the engine compartment catches fire, it will be too warm for the diesel to wax up! :rotflmao

    Running boards

    Steel wool and aluminum definitely do NOT mix! Not unless you want to see rust stains later on. A good polishing compound and time working it will shine it back up. Then wax to protect the shine.

    Ouch...just, ouch

    322,000 miles....well things DO wear out! It seems that the truck hadn't been in the alignment shop in a LONG time to have all of that fail at once, though!

    Thinking about an 06

    I hope you get your deal. One thing is for sure, you will NOT be inconspicuous driving that thing! I've heard of "arrest-me-red", that truck is "lock-me-up-yellow", and that engine just invites you to push that pedal a little farther to the floor. Keep one eye on the road and the other on the...

    Thinking about an 06

    I think my 05 F-250 Lariat is the best thing on four wheels, and it runs like a raped ape. Go for it. Personally though, the Amarillo is a bit garish for my taste. To me, it looks like it was fabbed up in some custom shop in Tijuana. :puke: But to each his own. My sister has the 04 F-250...

    Would you haul this? Cat D-5 on a SRW Chevy

    Yeah, if you consider Florida to be "down South". Look closely at the trailer and you will see the Florida plate. It looks a lot like south or central Florida, too flat for L. A. or L. G. LOL

    Does this sound right?

    I imagine the key words would be IN STOCK FORM. My truck went to 105 mph on I-85 between Atlanta and Columbus while I was passing a line of big rigs. I didn't notice how fast I was going until I glanced down at the speedo and said "Holy $hit!" I prayed that the county mountie that usually hung...

    Ford admits the 6.0 sucks..................

    A case of selective editing, my friend. You would make a good news producer at one of the major gloom and doom news networks. Read the REST of the quote: The biggest issues we've had for 2004 were the diesel engines," said Jerry Reynolds, whose Prestige Ford in Garland, Texas, is one of the...

    What must I do to make it sound good?!!

    Get an air horn and use it frequently? :D

    Ha ha haahahhahah!

    As George Carlin said, if you take two things that have never been nailed together and nail them together, some shmuck will BUY it from you!

    Truckela

    They're EVIL I tell you, EVIL, but they run like raped apes. My sister's 2004 F-250 Harley Davidson crew and my 2005 F-250 Lariat crew have both been stellar performers. ZERO problems with both trucks. We both have the 6.0 grin. :D

    So how do you guys handle reluctant restraunts?

    The EPA? HA! That hauler is feeding the guy a line of bull:number2 just to save his contract. It's none of company's business to be the environmental police. Anyway, waste grease is a STATE, not a federal matter to the best of my knowledge. WVO is not a hazardous material in the sense that it...

    OEM runs about $36 for the light bar through Powerstrokeshop.com. Aftermarket $10 or less.

    No, but when I hold my nose and try to sneeze, I get a sound much like a horn from my ...never mind!

    Truckela

    Truckela? Sounds like the name of a blood sucking Power Stroke if you ask me.

    Oil change intervals

    Who makes Ford's oil? The parts monger at the dealership (who used to work at the local parts store I use) told me that Ford had a special formulation with its oil especially for the Power Stroke. I normally take him at his word as he never steered me wrong when he worked at his previous job...

    Help w/ Decoding a GMC VIN

    Decoding VIN I was able to fill in a few holes for you. There were a few decoders I could have used to dig further, but they required the full number. 1GDMPC1J4VJ****** 1= Country of Manufacture = U.S.A. G= Manufacturer = General Motors D= Manufacturer Division = GMC Incomplete M=...

    Electrical problem?????

    The trailer lights are working properly if they are NOT operating when the engine is off. Your batteries will go down really quick if the trailer lights weren't isolated from the truck. That was the method to the madness there. As you were trying to test your lights with the engine off, that was...

    05 sheet metal junk

    1. Pound out dent. 2. Fill with body filler or JB Weld. 3. Go to local Rhino Liner or similar spray on bed liner place, have entire bed sprayed. That stuff can go on up to 1/4 inch thick, cover minor imperfections, stiffen up the bed, and seal up any crack that you may have missed. You also...
