Neither. A relay is a device for controlling a high amount of current with a low amount of current. While there will naturally be some amount of resistance across the contact points of the relay, that's not a relays primary purpose and in most cases the voltage drop will be so small it wouldn't...

So you'd rather not have any factory theft-protection on one of the world's easiest to steal vehicles, because you might lose a key?

What I'm curious about is why the PATS isn't standard on all trim levels of the '08 SD's?

You can do all the testing in the world, but until we consumer knuckleheads get a hold of it, you won't truly know it's weak points! Unless of course you test it by not reading the owner's guide and then managing to do everything it said not to do. . . and then some!:hammer:

All better!

And I appreciate that. It was just a coincidence that the cable came in today, I still needed a reminder, because I had forgot about it.I'm insulted that you think I'm so stupid I need that kind of basic reminder. . .Oh, wait! I AM THAT STUPID! If I had been smart enough to check over the...

Strange you should ask about that today. I went down there on May 11th, and I just got word earlier today that the cable is in and they can install it tomorrow.

Maybe I misunderstood the question. I thought he was asking about Max. psi to know how high the numbers on the guage should go to.

Guy's, were talking about a 6.0L here. Where just about everything and it's mother can cause it to not start. Having said that, a bad fuel cut-off switch is probably the last thing a seasoned 6.0 tech is going to think caused the no start. In fact, I can picture a tech going through the...

Wow!!! That's all I can say about that truck.

Nice! My neighbors have a couple of those, and they are plush inside. Now all it needs is a 6" lift and some beadlocks w/35's.:nana:

Now, now! Just to be fair to EnviroCon, there was the word "don't" in front of the words "go complaining" in the original statement he made, when referring to you sadistic, who in their right mind would race an 8K pound brick, people. So let's not make it sound like he was clumping you crazy...

One of the things that not only the techs on the board, but even in the dealerships I use, have been trying to get across for quite a while now. Is that, yes, you will get a lot more airflow from these aftermarket high-performance intakes, but it could come at the cost of dusting your turbo. Now...

75 psi is what I remember. So that would make Ryan correct, in the 70's.

Banks claims for their intake are (CFM): 6.0L = 695 5.9L = 682 6.6L = 617 They also claim that the AFE intake for the 6.0L is 645 CFM.

I just happened to be flipping through a magazine when I ran across a Bank's ad for their intake system. It wasn't the numbers that they gave for their system that caught my eye, it was the numbers they gave for the Ford 6.0L, Cummins 5.9L, and Chevy 6.6L stock intakes that did. Here's what...

Seriously though, you are doing a great job here. I'm going to try and access this site on my plasma T.V. using the PS3 a little later and see what it looks like. I'll let ya' know.

Well, so much for me trying to be lazy! I took it back to the dealer, they're ordering me a new cable. Thanks Guys!:wave:

It appears that when the dealership needed to replace the bed plate gasket a few weeks ago they removed the cab and mis-routed my parking brake cable when they put the cab back on. I just found out after my power steps stopped working on the driver's side (they had disconnected the power steps...

There Once Was A Man From Nantucket. . . chim chim shakin

There's no way on Earth I would use any of those rigs as my tow rig. I scratch or dent my dually and it's pretty much "no big deal, it just gives it a little character." I scratch or dent one of those and I'd be sobbing like a little baby until it's fixed. Seriously, I'd be inconsolable. I...

I think me likey! But, is there any way you can incorporate econo's avatar into it?:beer::nana:

So B99 could do that to a 6.4? How tough are the new Piezo injectors?

Say What?!?! If I'm away from my home dealership and need service, I still ask the nearest dealership if they're Blue Oval Certified. Why would Ford discontinue that program? Cost cutting?confused

Rest easy guys, I've yet to give a bad survey that reflects on the SA. If I have an issue, the first people I talk to are the people I have an issue with, not some faceless individual at FMC. I'm asking because if these things are simply filed in the small circular file cabinet next to someone's...

I figured if anyone would know it would be you techs. But really, how important are these surveys to the Service Adviser and dealerships? Is anyone really paying attention?

First, I was at 4 Wheel Parts and saw the rims in pic 3 up close. The pic doesn't do them justice. They look a lot different in person. Now I don't which rims I'd vote for. Second, thank you for the offer to give me advise on a ticket, luckily I didn't get one, and hopefully I won't have to...

It amazes me just how much slightly bigger tires and nice wheels can make an already sweet looking SD just pop. I have no doubt people will think it's an entirely different truck. OFF TOPIC: Aaron- Just how bad would it be to get caught doing 130 mph in CA?

I've come back and looked a couple of times now and as much as I like the look of black wheels (since I have black wheels) I think I'm going to have to vote for the ones in the first pic. I think a Stone color would work better with all chrome and that split spoke, multi-piece look they have...

The check's in the mail.:nana:
