    Ford F250 - 2011 - Separate Switch for Bed Dome Light

    One of my pet-peeves with this truck over my GM, was the inability to control the bed light (on the back of the cab) separately from the dome lights. Sometimes my work has me working in areas of town that I do not prefer to work in, and having the rear light on in the dark, drew unecessary...

    Ford F250 - 2011 - Rear under seat Lighting Mod

    I wasnt happy with the amount of light from the dome light in the back seat. This is due to the dome light having to be put at the back of the cab to make a clear space for the sun roof. I ordered 15' of LED light strip from ebay and then cut it into three strips. Two are being mounted in the...

    Ford F250 - 2011 - Hidden LED Strobes in Grill

    I mounted my Amber LED strobes from Strobes N' more in the grill lastnight. I like them. I may add a second set down lower and set them in a criss cross flash pattern. I am glad I got the E4s and not the E3s as I don't think I would have been as happy with the E3 light output. As usual, the...

    Ford F250 - 2011 - Fog Light Mod

    In an effort to have more light output when driving on rural roads, I made it possible to have my FOG lights on, even when my high beams are on. For some reason, most manufactures make it so that when you turn your high beams on, your fog lights go off. This reduces the amount of light closer...

    Towing Video

    I hooked the gooseneck up to my new 2011 F250 and took it for a spin yesterday. Very happy with the performance and ride. Took a video, its pretty quiet....except for the rushing air out the exhaust. http://youtu.be/1Popjsi5Mik

    GM 262 V6 Diesel - 80s

    So I bought a Generac 100 amp generator last year with the intent to fix it. I finally got time to start working on it and got it somewhat freed up so I can get it to turn over....sort of. I took the injectors out and put some penetrating oil in there a month or so ago. The unit has 153...

    On my way home ;)

    So it has been a few years since my "buddy" had a good "run. Tonight, "he" was headed somewhere on a rural interstate doing about 6 over in the left lane. To his right were a group of slower cars doing maybe 1-2 over. A newer Impala comes up on him and decided he wanted to see how much smoke...

    Benefits of GooseNeck Trailer

    I am looking to replace my 26' flat bed trailer with a heavier duty trailer. I dont want anything shorter as sometimes 26' isnt long enough and I have never seen a bumper pull trailer longer than 20' for sale anywhere. What are the pros and cons of a GN trailer? My truck has the bed cover on...

    Idler Pulley Failure

    Looks like the idler pulley failure is about to strike. When I started up the truck this morning I heard a rather unusual intermittent sound. At first I thought it was due to the truck sitting all weekend in the cold. Once I got to work and put the truck in park, the sound came back. I put the...

    Bio Diesel Prices - Confused

    I called my supplier today to order some bulk diesel. I asked how much B100 (b99) was, thinking that it would be comparable in price or cheaper that straight #2 and that I could mix it with regular #2 to get a b20-b50 ratio for the equipment. I was surprised. B99 is .67 more per gallon. (both...

    RV Power Tuners

    Anyone know of a good tuner to add a little power to a Cummins powered RV? It has the Cummins ISL 8.9L Turbo I6 350 HP with a Allison behind it. Whenever towing the Jeep behind it, it could use a little more UMPH. It looks like the newer models, with the same engine...are now tuned to 400 HP...
