Is the Dealership up to something here.....Gents (And ladies)I took my truck in Monday morning for a rear pinion seal leak. 300 dollar fix. Well, 4 days later it still isnt done. Saying they dont have the right wrench that is small enough to get in somewhere.Its hard for me to believe...

It is a Turbo, It just amazes to read a couple guys getting 19 -21 mpg, and I am empty and getting much lower. 70mph is also like 2300 rpm if I remember right, which bothers me. Curious if I did a swap to 373's if it would pay itself off eventually with a gain in gas mileage????Thanks again...

Thank you, we appreciate your support! I wish I could be in germany right now that wouldnt be to bad!

Hello all!I did a search and couldnt quite find what I was looking for. I just sold my 97 f350 and got a 99 f350, Crew cab, dually, 6 speed, 120k miles. I am only getting 14 mpg, how are some guys getting upwards of 20????? I do highway, I dont mash the gas. Im pretty sure I have the 4:10...

Hey everyone,First of all thanks for the help, this is my first Diesel and first Ford I have had so I am learning. I also am not a mechanic by any means, but can do all the basic stuff.Heres what happenened- Went camping this weekend in S.Indiana, pulling a 30 foot trailer through the...

Where is the multifunction switch or where is that? I can fix alot of stuff, I just dont know all the terminology.As for the clock spring, any way to test if its the culprit?My signal relay for the left was acting funny one day, it would flash the blinker once then stop. It did it for...

What is the clock Spring? Havent heard of that.Bulb is good, all lights work...grrrr

Title says it all, truck just started doing this. If truck is in overdrive, and i turn on left turn signal, truck temporarily goes out of overdrive, for a couple seconds then back into overdrive. If Cruise is on, then it kicks cruise off. Right turn signal works fine. I have no idea where...

Sellin it, it will go on the old craigslist after i get this one and switch tires between the two, since i JUST bought new tires 'smiliedoh'

Good to know on the tranny, thank ya. The tranny and engine were full rebuilds, all pumps, Injectors, etc etc. I felt real good about it when I met the guy and he started showing me all the receipts, plus how clean it was, and he had 2 other diesels in the driveway. So I am hoping she had...

Its the 7.3 turbo powerstroke, not sure on tranny, its automatic, has overdrive button on the shifter. I am not familiar with fords yet but Im learnin! The truck had really high miles, but the guy is a diesel mechanic, has all the receipts, new motor and tranny at 40,000 miles ago, aftermarket...

So I just bought that F250 with the 460, but it just doesnt seem to be heavy enough for what I am going to be doing in two weeks, so I get to go pick up this on Tuesday....

I am torn right now, of course because of the gas mileage on this thing, I love it, does great in the snow, and got it to pull a huge trailer across country. If i keep it, I am thinking of really making her nice, new paint, fix the droopy front end, new rims, new bumpers (dented). I will...

Wow, sounds like I did ok then. Doesnt seem to have any major issues, interior is in great shape. Leaks a tiny (and I mean tiny) amount of trans fluid. Exhaust has a small leak, but as you see in the forums I am getting ready to take care of that. Fuel gauges act funny, but other than that...

Here is the truckhere is a picture of the truck, Does real well in the snow, pulled out 5 people so far :)

I will get some up first thing tomorrow, its midnight here, Wait to you see the light bar with 6 kc's on it I scored in the deal also :)

I know some of the guys know me already from one of the forums, (ive been asking tons of questions already) This is my first Ford, g-pa worked there all his life, so let me tell yah he is proud I ditched the GMC last month. Im an Airforce man, have the greatest job a man can ask for. Or at...

Afternoon, Jerome Casinger, moving to St.Louis/Illinois border, looks like I can enjoy two chapters YelloThumbUp I have an 88 f250 with a 460 that I am getting ready to move out that way with. I work for the AirForce, love my job, I also am big into music, I have a studio setup and a 24 foot...

Good deal that would be fun, is there a link for that somewhere on this site assume? I have been pretty stuck in this forum reading, and the towing forums. Havent got out of my box yet :)

No I did not, can you give me an idea of what markings I should look for, I will go take a flashlight and crawl under, my apologies I thought the c6 was the only trans for this year on the truck, dont hate me cause Im new smilieneenar

You wouldnt happen to remember which adapter size you had to use would you? i went out gauge shopping and browsing, and different manufactures have different adapter sizes, some have 1/4, some have 1/8, some are missing the 1/2" while others are not. Just curious if you happen to remember for...

So lets say I am pulling my trailer over a pass out here in the west, and my tranny starts getting in the "Im not comfortable with you at this temperature" mode. What exactly causes the tranny to get warm, I figured that the tranny locks in on the gear and its your engine that would work...

Great Info guys, I am going to be doing mass work on this thing next weekend, new U joints for the rear, trans thermostat, C6 trans I am new to ford will have to look it up to gain some info on it. I am slightly worried about the haul over the passes hence why I am doing all this work to it...

just getting ready for the move and figure a transmission temperature gauge might be a good idea since I am pulling so much weight for 5 days. Is there any kits or links you guys can link me to? Is it an easy install, I would assume there might be a plug somewhere I can remover or something...

Ok so I have called some shops, seems like about 400 bucks is the magic number for an exhaust though. Only one place is open about removing my cat converter because the vehicle is still within the 25 years of emissions testing. That is something I have not thought about, I am trying to figure...

Also, Can I do the exhaust my self? Or is that a pain in the butt? If so, any recommendations or links would be appreciated, I would say I can spend up to 4 or 500 if that is feasible, there are just so many options on the web I was looking at, one in one out, cat back, stainless, etc, etc. I...

Alright ran the codes, got a code 11 (system pass) then the long pause into memory codes and got a code 34, maybe a little help on that one,Says EGR Valve position, sensor or pressure feedback EGR(PFE) sensor:signal voltage out of self-test specification limits, OR, signal voltae above closed...

I wish I could get up to 65! Last night was the first night pulling, I did a test pull to get my weight distribution bars set correctly, and my anti sway bar and check the load to see if I need to shift weight around. I got it up to 55, but I know kidding had to smash the gas to get it there...

Do I need to do anything if I chop the exhaust, I am all for it, will it read any codes that I should be aware of, or do i need to update anything to compensate for the loss of back pressure?Thanks for the quick responses on my way to the auto store.

Thats a good lead I will go pick one up right now, where do they plug in on Fords? I looked under the steering column but did not see a plug for it? Thanks, sounds like this guy is going to get a full set plugs, wires, filters, etc, all fluid flushed etc.
