I've had a Sinister coolant filter kit sitting in my garage for a few weeks while I read up on the install. The instructions state to drain the radiator but, I also see online videos stating to only drain a gallon. I'm also finding many posts on the forums stating not to drain any and to just...

It is 100% stock motor/exhaust right now.

I just picked up an '06 and after checking all the fluids, etc, realized the filter is beyond its time. I'm planning to take it to the shop in a few months for the tuner, exhaust, egr ******, etc. but, would like to go ahead and do the cold air kit now. My question is can I just pull the...

I noticed yesterday when it was real cold(38 degrees) that when I started mine, it idled about 750rpm for about a minute and then jumped up to 1000. When I hit the throttle, it would come back down for a few seconds and then return to the higher setting. After driving it for a few miles and...

Good questions. We're both in the same boat...

Is yours straight-piped or does it have the Magnaflow muffler installed?

What exactly is the high idle setting/mod? Does this just make it idle high when the motor is cold? Thanks - Todd

Thanks Decker. I'll just swap the block for one with 1" additional lift. Regarding the carrier bearing, is this the large bearing that is in between the 2 sections of the rear driveshaft, held to the frame crossmember with 2 bolts? If so, that looks like a very simple process to simply add a...

I went out and measured and my front sits about 3/4"-1" higher than the rear so I'd like to just add a 1" block to my OEM F250 block. 2 questions: 1 - How bad is it to stack blocks and should I just find a 2.5" block and remove the OEM? 2 - Anything else I need to do if I add 1" of lift to the...

Thanks. I've got a little slop in the steering so ball joints might be in the near future...

Please ignore. I found the answer.

I just added a 2.5" leveling kit and the front is actually a bit higher than the rear. I am new to the Diesel world and just picking up on information as I go... I saw some people swapping the rear F250 block for a F350 block and the needed U-bolts. How much taller is a F350 block? Does...

Thanks guys. Sounds like I'll just cut them off and whenever I do any major work on the front, I'll get the upgraded push in style seals. Thanks - Todd

**The dealer wants $652 to replace both seals. I'm just hoping there is a way to push the current seals back into place but, they are likely original and need to be replaced...

While installing a leveling kit last night, I noticed 2 seals that were spinning with the axle shaft freely and clearly not installed. I believe these are called the inner spindle shaft seals, which is just a dust shield. I tried to push them in with a screwdriver but, could not get them to...
