Purchased a 99 ECLB Powerstroke with 400k on the clock. Tranny was just rebuilt for the 5th time 20k miles ago. Has full power and a gooseneck hitch, 4x4 still works good but the body is rough, interior is rough, right outer door handle is missing, and interior light stays on killing the...
Well my RCLB has had the SES light on for the EGR for over a year now so i took it to the dealer i used to work at to get it replaced before the engine warranty was up. They had the truck for a few days and replaced the EGR valve, i paid my $100 and was out the door. The service writer was also...
Any of you fella's have any issues with Flowmaster Exhaust rotting out? The damn junk on mine broke right off at the muffler :mad:. Then trying to maul the tail pipe off the truck next to the road was a nightmare :mad5:. Luckily i had my enclosed trailer in tow and i ended up cutting it in half...
Last week when towing home my mini-ex from a job the truck started excessively smoking. I didnt notice it until i got on the hill coming to my home and had the truck at wide open throttle pulling the hill. I was towing around 11k and the hill is fairly steep. I just happened see something out of...
A friend of mine and i are looking into starting a joint venture together as well as running our own seperate businesses. We are looking into a very large housing developement to caretake. It is acually four developements but the plowing and sanding come together as one. We both have 2 GM trucks...
Probably a repost, how cheap do you figure this is to plow with? Dont be drooling over them lights either Nick, they are one of a kind and can only be found on redneck vehicles.
Today was the first time i have towed in the snow with this controller and so far i am not impressed. I adjusted the controller as usual and headed down the hill with about 8k behind me like any other day. I knew it was slippery so i had it in 4X4 and slowed it down a bit. Now, this controller...
As some may know i have had a problem with a coolant that the dealer claimed was a loose hose clamp :icon_bs:. Its been using coolant but not as much as before so maybe the clamp was part of the problem but 4 days ago i seemed to have an exhaust tick up front. With the plowing i do and getting...
I finally got my in-bed sander from a friend of mine. His new 8' Salty Dogg came in yesterday so we pulled his old "2.5yrs" 6' Salty Dogg off his truck and set on mine. He paid $4k for his new sander and sold me his for $2k which i thought was a great deal for a stainless unit that he only used...
Well it snowed here Friday night until yesterday morning dumping about 14", wake up this morning to about 2" and still snowing. The weatherfolk :rolleyes5: dont have a clue what we are getting this round. They have forecasted 6"-16" by tomorrow morning. Lots of plowing have already been done...
A buddy of mine has an 08 F-250 RCLB with the gas guzzling V-10, 9.5' stainless fisher v-plow and 6.5' stainless Salty Dogg in bed sander. He is having traction issues with this combo and i am sure it is the stock rubber. The truck only has 4k on it so it isnt a lack of tread. Problem is Ford as...
Well the ole girl be leaking its coolant somewhere. No visual leaks yet and it seems to be going through about 6-8oz every week or so. I can smell it on the passeneger side of the truck but still cant see anything. I will be doing a coolant pressure test to see if i can find it before it goes to...
I finally broke down and bought tires for the winter. I bought the Cooper Discovery M/S this time, alot of siping and they have a good reputation in these parts. I ran the Hankook Dynopro M/T's last year and good luck with them for traction but no lifespan at all. I squeezed 23k out of them but...
