    This truck look Familiar

    I was thinking that some of the other guys might have had a chance against this truck until the judges saw the hammertone paint on the frame (Nice detail for sure.) Sure makes me miss my first truck. Little '78 half ton, but it still had the round headlights in the square bezels. Havent...

    COMMERCIAL BATTERIES--WOW---1300 cca

    Just reading the provided website has me thinking about my travel trailer for those big audio batteries. If I were camping as much as I want to, then those would be the s%!*. As much as I manage to get my family out of town, they would rot away before I'd get my money's worth. Different...

    Airlift or Firestone and why? - Airsprings

    Part "BUMP" and part question. Front airbags? They have them for the front? Anyone ever use them on the front? How is the ride? Almost like a leveling kit? Havent even got close to the suspension yet, and I want a little lift in the front, but not getting crazy due to sensible nature...

    Original CPS died today at approx 60k

    One of the guys on TDS went and did compression testing between blue and black cps with JOdy Tipton (AKA DP Tuner) sitting in the seat next to him. FOMOGO drove off with the black CPS in his truck. Its worth going to the ohter site for a look at his post.

    air box mod

    Ford AIS is a great intake. Its a Ford approved part, so you will not void the factory warranty that you obviously drove yourself out of a long time ago. Not quite as much air as Tymar, but probably the best filtration available. AIS is also quiet if the turbo howl is offensive. THings...

    add the small three lights

    Southwest Fabricators bumper on the rear has me blocked from adding the lights. THere is a little lip on the top of the bumper that would get in the way of hte lights. I could add one of those LED strips that go all the way across the truck, but I am pretty partial to the traditional three...

    Will this be it for a while

    I promised my wife that my '02 would last me 10 years or 200k. I am in paid off truck title in the gun safe land right now. Several things are really tempting about hte new trucks. Trailer brakes, Tow command, the fold up rear seat in the crew cabs, the front suspension, and upfitter...

    Front Bumper & Engine Upgrade Info

    Hajj - STOP buying things. Research all of the diesel sites (I participate in three separate sites) untill you are comfortable with what you want, and dont be too hasty. I thought I knew what I wanted when I started this adventure back in July, and I continue to change my mind. Then...

    Smoke from air filter hose?

    Ok, after reading, re-reading, and looking at all the pictures (3 Times), of the CCV mod, let me see how I am doing. Disclaimer . . .I grew up around the auto business, but my Dad tried to keep me as far away from turning tools as he could. He was mostly successful. My meager knowledge was...

    Smoke from air filter hose?

    DmaxEter - Can you expand a little on the hose you are talking about? I have the oil build up you are talking about, and it drives me crazy. All that oil makes me have visions of boost leaks, oil leaks, etc. Could very well have a boost leak anyway, but thats another story. You are the...

    Changed the Fuel Filter Today

    Hey anyone here ever had a neighbor come over to chat while your changing the fuel filter? There I was with a cool piece of silcone tubing stuck in the drain hole and dumping the fuel into a plastic bottle instead of my driveway. Remove bottle and silicone tubing, and put it away. Remove and...

    Fuel Filter

    I always sensed a predjudice towards the filters with the aftermarket tops on this site and TDS, but no one would ever admit WHY they did not like them. It was just the stock filter or Racor is better, and thats the end of it. If you dont eat your meat, you cant have any pudding. :D...

    Exhaust Brake

    With auto trannys make sure you have guages. I remember an article in Trailer Life that was touting the Banks Exhaust Brake. Been too long since I read the article, but seems I remember something in the most expensive exhaust brake that had a speed setting and took care of the tranny a little...

    High Cost of Diesel Fuel

    THis topic may have been covered during this thread, but all I could get out of the previous four pages of posts was blah, blah, blah. Why does diesel cost more than Regular Unleaded? When I first bought my truck in '02 regular unleaded was MORE than diesel. About six months later and it all...

    Fuel Filter

    I like my Baldwins. Stock cap is in my toolbox just in case. Using a 1/2" drive ratchet to remove the filter is so much easier than fighting the stock cap.

    Backup lights

    Thanks for the diagram. Now all I need is a day to kill rewiring everything. THe more I hear about others knocking their backup lights off their bumpers, the happier I am that mine came built into my SW Fabricators rear bumper. I do hate the feeling when I get in the truck the next...

    Backup lights

    I have a standard fog light relay hooked up to mine, and it is strictly a manual system. Do I need a different relay in order to connect to reverse lights and still have the manual option for hooking at night with truck in park. Need to see a diagram again, too.

    Plastic "Powerstroke" cover doodad?

    First Post on this site . . . TDS Refugee (Still like to look around over there for some tidbits of info amongst all the ego's) Harvey beat me to it. I saw a site that had a brushed stainless replacement cover. I cant remember where now. Serious bling bling, if your into bling. Appealed...
