Forum: Diesel Truck Information

I have the 2008 Ford F350 King Ranch D/A 6.4L PS Diesel with the 4.30 LS. I also have the Camper Package. Am I correct in thinking that this is the same truck as a F450 since I have the 4.30 LS and the Camper Package. I know that the 450 comes with the 4.88 LS also.

We are taking our grandsons on a short vacation. The day before yesterday, we were traveling through the Texas hill country near Kerrville TX when the low coolant light came on. The temperature gauge didn't show hot on the dash, so as soon as possible I pulled over to check things out. I found no...

I just installed a set of Timbrens rubber springs on my new Dodge 1 Ton Dually because of the squat from the Bighorn. Easy to install and did not have to lift the suspension at all to put them on the 4x4. Great! now the truck is level with the Bighorn attached. :cool:

I did some maintenance on my truck on the weekend. I changed the oil and filter and installed a FUMOTO oil drain valve to make changing the oil cleaner and easier. I change the air filter and installed a new LBZ turbo mouthpiece on my LLY diesel. It is 4"" instead of 3" and lets more air flow in to...

So we have returned from our week long vacation in New Jersey. On the way there and on the way home we stopped at places where I had to fuel up with the real big boys and I have yet to figure out how to fill my puney little tank using those fast-flowing pumps. Do any of you out there have any tips...

I saw my first 2011 Ford F350 yesterday. Different grill design. It was a Lariat Crew Cab dually diesel. Talking to the owner he showed me how to add the emission additive (urea tank fluid). The fuel door is wider and there are two filler caps. One for the Diesel fuel and one for the emission...

Test drove a new Ford, WOW is all I can say! Oh trading in my 2005 F-250 6.0 49,500 miles and ordered the new one a couple days ago. Not because I had any problems with it, none at all, just couldn't resist. What a truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help me make up my mind!! I've got a 2006 Chevy 2500HD 6.0L gas but contemplating a one ton diesel dually. We will be full timing in 20 months and plan on doing some mountain driving and I'm a little scared about my gas engine being able to keep up with traffic while climbing any mountains. New...

Any of you boys tow with an F450? I am gathering info for a TV upgrade as I am considering a much larger 5er a couple of years down the road for retirement. Rick

Considering adding the Banks Speed Brake to my 09 Duramax. Has anyone had expriance with this product? Dale

I currently own a 2008 F-450 and was thinking of upgrading to the new truck...anyone have a new 2011 F-350 or F-450? We tow a 41 t Cyclone and are getting 7 mpg....thinking the new 6 speed transmission would help with that and bump the mileage up alittle bit. Any help would be great thanks!!!!

I went for a test drive in the new 3500 super duty Ram dually on the weekend. This truck was a Supercab ( Large 4 door) short box (6 1/2 "). It was the top of the line truck with every option you can get ( $74,000.00 canadian). Truck runs very well, trans shifts hard but crisp, motor is louder than...

I finally got to go on a trip with my 05 2500 HD silverado pulling my fully loaded 3055RL Bighorn. It pulled it beautifully. I had it in tow mode and clicked the cruise on at 100 KM ( 61MPH) and just left it there. The temp came up to where it normally runs and just stayed there ( the 05 is known...

We just traveled 2300 miles (first long trip) towing our NC 29FKS (appr. 12,000 lbs) w/'99 7.3 SD stock. It seemed like the floorboards and firewall were extremely hot all the time but temp. gauge never got high, nor did the truck seem like it was having any other problems. Ambient temps were...
