    My AD165 shet the bed. Went with FASS. Originally installed the AD165 at time of build , 140k miles. Truck had 280k when she went out completely. I typically carry an extra relay with me , but got caught with my pants down back in March when this happened. Hardwired to battery on the side of the...

    Steering- Tie Rod Bar Replacement

    I cant remember specifically the literature on the drag link, but yes their drag link requires you to run dual stabilizers , there isn't a hole for hardware attaching stock style stabilizer. Idk how long it's been since installed all that mess, but I will tell you that I've gotten over 60k miles...

    What are your thoughts on some forum category changes?

    Personally, I've been on a huge suspension quest for knowledge the past several years. Have found some great info on here, albeit difficult at times to find. Between leaf spring and coil spring codes, to dealing with the new 20'+ suspension shortcomings I feel like there could be a better...

    In the short rows now. Manifolds and up-pipes, valve covers, new a/c system, and s&b cab mounts getting installed. Before cab went up had the preload/ride height adjusted, steering gear box and drag link installed, along with an alignment. Everything finally fell into place.

    2020 revealed

    Not trying to derail, but couldn’t help but to comment on this. The agency has struck hard, and fast in my area. Company I work for has had a huge fleet of Dmax, and Powerstokes for a while. We were allowed to make “repairs” to clogged/ defective parts- you get my point. I’d say 30-40% of a...

    05+ Axle Swap Upgrades

    You mentioned HD drag link. I have PMFs tie rod bar, and drag link. Extremely clean, quality construction. They get rid of factory style adjustments, known weak point and eye sore with age. Having just redone my front suspension, I’d recommend checking them out. They aren’t cheap, but definitely...

    Finally coming around. Coil overs getting dialed in at alignment next week, along with OEM gear box and PMF drag link installation. I love turning wrenches, and building chit but pretty sure I set the record on longest install time ever. OuO goodies front to back.

    Problem solved. Had washers all along. Overlooked one of the 500 zip lock bags they sent me. The OuO adaptable shock tower quality are above and beyond. Definitely get what you pay for, and Collin Hoppert has given me unparalleled customer service. Their front axle truss /stabilizer combo and...

    The f250 had to be put to the side. Accepted a foreman position and I've been running wide open. Was able to squeeze in a few productive days here and there the past few months, sametime I've been taking my time, measuring twice cutting once so to speak. Only problem I'm just now running into is...

    6.4l Odawg Intake Review

    Solid info. I'll be doing one at somepoint this year. Was curious (if you were monitoring) if you noticed any noticeable EGT drops more than odawg advertises?

    2005 EXCURSION Diesel 4wd Eddie Bauer

    I'm hoping some of your old truck parts arrive on a pallet in the near future for the X! My buddy has a slightly used barder 2.0 I just found out today at his shop that just may find its way on too. The f250 is patiently awaiting the arrival of some radflo/ouo coilovers (tomorrow finally)...

    Steering- Tie Rod Bar Replacement

    Yes, loctite after adjustment etc. PMF includes a nice jamb nut for the tie rods. If you do any of the stock replacement stabilzers they just bolt on/off in a few minutes. Trac bar isn't bad, if you replace the trac bar ball joint it can make you lose your religion if you don't have the proper...
