    Name this engine noise... (video)

    Was running errands. Started it after it sat for a bit and it made this sound. Towed it home. What is wrong with my engine ? https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvn31mjk4xrb1sv/20171017_184126.mp4?dl=0

    Engine high idles to about 850 RPM. Charging circuit ?

    My engine seems to high idle at about 800-850 RPM about 80% of the time. This summer the batteries went dead for no reason that I know of. I put new batteries in last fall. I boosted it to get it running and then put on the battery charger. The battery condition eye was red prior but after...

    Puzzling external engine coolant leak. Front of passenger head.

    2008 F350 210,000 miles. Stock. It is leaking about a quart of coolant whenever it is shut off hot from the passenger side of the engine. The entire engine is dry on top and even underneath, except that coolant collects on a bolt head on the front of the passenger side head and then drips...

    Replacement Navigation DVD for 2008 ?

    My OEM (early 2008) nav system won't read the navigation DVD anymore. Is it the CD or the unit itself ? How do I troubleshoot it ? What is the newest version of DVD I can run if I get a replacement ? I think I'm running 5P now. 6P ? 8P ? Thanks

    Pics of two tone white 6.4 trucks ? Ex KRs. TRUBBS truck ?

    I've got an 08 KR that I want to update with some new paint. I'm tired of the KR look. I'm looking for pictures of white 2 tone trucks for ideas. The one in TRUBBS's av looks really nice, something along that line, though I might be open to black wheels, black headlights, etc. I'm...

    200K decision time. 2017 or Cummins swap or ?

    I'm wondering what I should do with my truck. Sell it and buy a 2017 ? Swap a Cummins into it ? Or something else ? My 2008 F350 King Ranch has 210,000 miles on it. It got a new set of injectors and a HP fuel pump at 90,000 miles. I replaced the *** at 160,000 miles. Nothing other than...

    Stutter/shudder at WOT kickdown: transmission or engine ? Diff chattter ?

    2008 F350 6.4 5R110. Totally stock, 160K. It cruises fine at 65MPH. Sometimes when I floor it to pass another vehicle it surges and studders like crazy. If I back off the throttle a bit it works fine. Is this a transmission problem or an engine problem ? I haven't changed the transmission...

    More leg room, front seat mod. (Pic heavy)

    I'm 6'1"+ and 215 pounds. I find that on long trips I am craving a little bit more room to stretch out, especially my legs. So I remounted the driver's seat in my 08 F350 a little further back (about 1.5") on the power seat base. I did this on my old truck ('99 F250) too. 1.5" doesn't...

    School me on roof mount displays and DVD players.

    I have a stock 08 F350 King Ranch with the OEM rear seat entertainment system. I am redoing the audio system in the truck and I need to keep a rear seat "DVD player" for mom and the kids. I never ride back there, but they do. The truck is getting a different head unit and a computer or two...

    Fraudulent Ebay listing for 2011 F350 KR.

    FYI, this listing is a fraud. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-F-350-King-Ranch-/120985282346?forcev4exp=true If you have some time to kill, buy the truck and then ask to see it, especially if you live in Florida.

    Integrated seat belt options. (seat replacement)

    How does one replace the seats with something aftermarket in a Supercab that has integrated seat belts ? Is there some sort of bracket that could be used to mount the seat belt to the new seat or to the roof of the cab ? Looking for ideas here.

    2011 Electric Locker gasser Diff into an 08 Diesel Superduty ?

    Has anyone looked into putting an Electric Locker into a pre 2011 SD ? How would an electric limit slip diff (3.73 ratio) from a 2011 F250/F350 gasser Superduty work in a 2008 F350 Diesel Superduty ? Would one swap the whole diff ? Brakes too ? I think the hub pilot diameter is larger on...

    Severe chatter turning and under load. Diff ? Transmission ? Driveshaft ?

    My truck is a 08 F350 6.4 5R110 4x4 LB CC. I bought it with 82K on it last fall. Its now got 110ish on it. Its a very clean truck. The previous owner never towed with it as far as I can tell. Its given me zero problems other than engine issues covered under warranty. A month ago I pulled...

    CNC Plasma Table from DD 350 Cummins 6.7/twins/6R140 Thread

    So it looks like I am building a CNC plasma cutter. I'm modelling mine after this one, though some of the details are going to be different. The thing I like best about it is the cantilever design which will allow me to cut parts from sheets that wouldn't fit on a typical gantry design...

    2M ham radios ?

    What are you running and how do you like it and how did you mount it ? I'm considering an ICOM IC2200 or IC2300.
