When I checked the owners manual for the truck I bought (It was used) there was a piece of paper that said there was a flash installed in the truck (it was a factory Ford flash, and the paper was Ford stationary), and it's now making 400HP with 800Ft/Lbs of torque. Does anybody else have a sheet...
I doubt that you'd notice, acutally. One thing that suprised me (and quite frankly, it took me a while to decide if I liked this or not) was that the turning circle of my 4 door is every bit as tight (if not a little tighter) than my 06 extended cab. The one thing that really threw me was that...
Unloaded I've seen from 15 to 18 mpg, depending on terrain and ambient air temp (got 18 in Michigan with the AC off, running about 16 out by Amarillo right now on a job). Got about 13 pulling my trailer which is about 14k gross. Power is AWESOME.Gunner
I bought my 2011 F250 4 Door Lariat used(!) with 11K on the clock. So far mine is a MONSTER. Pulls like an ape and runs like a Lincoln. No issues whatsoever with mine so far. I am a bit puzzled and troubled by the fact that it doesn't have an oil pressure guage. I'd much rather shut the engine...
No mine is aftermarket. Autometer in the drivers side corner of the window. Seems like a good idea but I got no idea what the normal temp range for that would be, loaded OR unloaded.Gunner
The previous owner of my truck installed a pyrometer. How hot should the turbo run when I'm driving unloaded? What would your guess be loaded? Just wondering how hot these turbo's can get before I start having problems.Gunner
Yeah I'm still "doin da drillen". Right now I'm on a job just SW of Pampa Tx. And yes.........It's HOT. Hot enough to affect the mileage in my truck!Gunner
Man I've been up to my EARS on long strange projects...........Fighting the good fight! I'm here to tell you it's been weird ;D Glad to be back though!Gunner
Ok here are a couple of question.1) WHY is there no oil pressure guage in the truck?2) Can the oil pressure be displayed in the message center on the dashboard, or is there a software update for the truck so I can DISPLAY the oil pressure?3) How can I keep the current gear display (for...
Well My 06 was showing her age. in 09 when I got laid off, I took a one off job for a friend of mine that bought a boat in California, in Sacremento. Well he didn't tell me I'd be pulling the TITANIC back. It was about a 35 foot pontoon boat with a little camper built on top of it, inboard power...
Shoot one of my truck and my trailerBelieve it or not.........I bought that truck USED. An old duffer that does buisness at the Ford house I go to bought it about Feb or Mar, and rigged it out to pull a trailer (it doesn't have overloads on it, but it DOES have airbags that HE put on the...
Ok I just bought a barely broke in F250 4 Door Lariat about 3 weeks ago (You wouldn't beleive the deal I got but thats another story), anyway..........Mine had a piece of paper from Ford saying that it had done a program change and now the vehilce is 400HP and 800ft/lbs of torque. Mine pulls...
I hope a few of you old hands remember me.............I've been gone for a while. Just traded my black 06 F250 XLT extended cab for a (slightly used, actually barely broke in) 11 F250 Lariat 4 door. The DEF is a DRAG, but in all honesty, the 11 pulls like an APE. My 3 slide 5th wheel is 14400...
Well guys I just traded my 06 F250 XLT Extended Cab (and gents, may I say, that was one good warhorse) for a 4 Door F250 Lariat (I got a killer, and I mean KILLER deal on a BARELY used one). My main criteria is pulling power, how well it pulls my trailer. And I MUST say, My new Lariat pulls like...
Hey FolksI've been gone for a while. Probably not a lot of you remember me. When I was here last I had an 06 Extended Cab F250 Diesel. I had to get rid of her about 3 weeks ago, and now I have a 11 4 Door F250.Anyway folks.............I've been away for a while...........Gunner
Hi FolksI've been away for a while. Last year sucked the big one and I was doing my dead level best trying to keep the bankers from reposessing everything I owned (was successful). I've been working on a 78 Trans Am lately and thats been eating up my time too. I've gone back to work, and...
HOLY CRAP! THEY DISCOVERED THE VOLKSWAGEN ENGINE! :DAcutally it's a pretty clever idea. The only weak link that I could see is the outside connecting rods........they don't look as stout as the interal ones.Gunner
I've noticed one thing she has in commom with all females........in most of those pictures she looks pissed............Now if thats about something real, or something imaginary, thats for the female brain to work out............she just looks unhappy about something and expects Daddy to fix...
