Finally got the true duals installed. The shop did an excellant job. I brought the X-pipe and a couple of Classic Chambered Exhaust mufflers. More people should look into this style of straight thru muffler. I had it done friday and haven't turned on the radio yet. What an exhaust note.

Finally it snow But on other I frick hate windy condition it horrible.

And F350 almost didn't start after I finish plow snow with backhoe it was sat for 9 hours with windy blow direct grill. It just crank so slow then fire running. New batteries, new terminal, new starter, and new glow plug system. What heck cause slow crank. Boss's 1 F350 did same thing like mine but it quit crank. Like 5 sec crank then stop.

Monday tonight supposed to be 1-2" and other couple days are mystery it supposed to be bad snowstorm but 30% chance.

This is the only thing I can think of to tell you.. I Will bet a beer ( and I dont like to risk those ) that one of your terminals is loose. EVERY year I have to go and tighten mine, and every year on the 7.3 forum, at least 5 others have to do the same.

Finally, change yourself out to a synthetic oil, this to will help, but again, check to see if any of your battery terminals move, if they move, they are loose.

Wind chill does open one's eyes better than a cup of coffee.

I use 5w40 shell T6 and battery terminal aren't original it military terminal. But I will check and loosen then tight hoping it fix contact issues.

That sucks Rich. I have been on a streak at work with only working 3 of my 4 days a week for the past 6 weeks. Love my time of when you can spend it with someone.

Anyways, I got my truck back on Saturday from Hallas performance located in Romeo. They installed my ITP (strictly diesel now) regulated fuel return line and intank fuel mod. They also replaced the fuel filter. Totally forgot about the harpoon thing but whatever. They guys seemed cool and knowledgable, and for what I thought was a reasonable price point for the installation.

If interested the guy who worked on my truck is named Scott. Other two guys who would know my stepdad would be Chuck, and Mike.

And now for the first time in I dont know how long I haven't seen a oil drip. Plus, my truck seems to be running a little more quieter after the installation of parts.
