    7.3 Headgasket questions

    My truck has not really moved since January 2016 i believe, the stock turbo started squealing on Christmas Eve and it got parked. Before that my sidewalk crew had been using it to move snow blowers and salt around a large condo complex, at some point the A/C compressor locked up and my belt went...

    Parts needed to put CCV back on with S&B intake

    Long story short whoever previously owned on our 04 6.0 Excursion was a moron. I didn't go with my brother when he bought it this summer and never looked it over good once he brought it home, but its a pretty solid running 190k Ex so can't complain too much. But as i was re-doing the EGR ******...

    Best route for 185k mile 6.0

    Even though we have a couple 6.0's in the family i'm not real familiar with them outside of regular maintenance. Good friend of mine bought a 05 KR DRW out of Texas back in January. Truck was obviously used to tow, but is bone stock and runs/drives great. Currently sitting around 185k miles...

    Resonator or muffler to quiet the turbo?

    Tuned my '14 6.7 a while back with a SCT/Tyrant and a Flo Pro 4" stainless kit. The sound didn't bother me at first but its slowly getting on my nerves. Its fine cruising but at idle/accelerating when the vanes are closed the hair drier sound is beyond annoying, and of course the damn whooo when...

    6.7 service intervals

    Bought my '14 with 53k miles in mid January, and put 7500 miles on it so far. About 2500 miles overdue for a oil change, and my service reminder came on yesterday. The first 53k of its life was easy, it never had a hitch in the receiver or hauled anything. But since i bought it i've put 3-4k...

    F-450 cupping front tires

    Finally got around to pulling my F-450 in the shop. Been having an issue of it pulling hard right under braking, steering seems a bit sloppy, and its wearing the front tires bad.

    Stiction in a 7.3?

    Background on my truck, 01 F-450 with 299k miles. I replaced the engine winter of 2014 with one i pulled out of a buddies truck.

    Short commute with a 6.7

    Starting to find myself missing having a truck to DD, which is sad considering i have an F450 and 2 OBS's. My diesel Jeep is nice, gets 23-24mpg's around town, but its too small. So i'm really thinking about getting a CCSB 6.7. But, i'm worried that my short drive to work might cause issues with...

    Starting to get close to working on my OBS build, hell i've only had this chassis for 2 years now. LOL Anyways it will be a ECSB 97, 600hp with a built auto, and i'm hoping it will weigh 6-6500lbs at full weight. Truck will be a weekend warrior, lots of dirt drags and sled pulls, might see some...

    Bought this mount a few years ago with plans to build my own IC pipes, but ended up buying a full Irate kit a couple weeks ago so no longer need this. Never been on a truck. I have the up-pipes and the oil drain, but at some point i lost the bolts/studs for it. Asking $600 for it. Prefer pick-up...

    Front axle re-build kit?

    Front end on my 01 F-450 2wd(axle is identical to D60) is getting wore out. Steering is real sloppy and its wearing the tires. Truck has 286k miles so not a big surprise. Looking to do all 4 ball joints, shocks, and most likely all the steering linkage. Is there a kit out there, or one brand...
