Also what are peoples thoughts on Astro starters? Good Idea, bad idea? I did some searching for tires for my truck, and it looks like I will have to pay about $1000 for 4 of them. For 35" tires.

 

You often see owners with there trucks flying big flags in the boxes....how do they do that?

 

Follow the wires from the toggle switch and see where they go. Easiest way to find out what its for. If it were me I would change the oil now and any other fluids you want to. Then you know for sure exactly what you got and are starting fresh. The salesman can tell you whatever he wants but that doesn't make it true.

Yes we do. It has been a while now. You can always go to the bs thread and ask and see what interest there is and then start a thread and throw out some dates and see who can make what work. Seems like once the weather is nicer it is easier to gtg.

I have had a couple in past vehicles and had no trouble but have heard other stories of people having issues so.........

They may stick them in the stake pocket or maybe make a bracket in the bed I suppose. I never seem them around here but maybe around you there are more people doing it.

 

You need to change the oil, filter, fuel filters, and I'd recommend also doing the t-case, transmission, and both differentials right away to make sure it's all good. Use only OE filters too. Also, oil changes every 5000 miles, fuel filters every 10000. At the most.

Also, get something to check data. You want to verify if you oil cooler is good, and be able to watch some numbers. Not sure what gauges are in your pods now...

 

BTW, what did you have to pay for that?

 

Looks like Troy pretty much answered your questions. I would recommend changing all the fluids also. You never know when they were changed last and lets face it a salesman will say anything to get you to buy it. Seems like every used car or truck was owned by a mechanic according salesman. If you need a scan of it let me know and I can see if can arrange a time. I have a basic code reader and the Torque Pro app on my phone that is set up to read some of the 6.0 parameters.

If you want to arrange a GTG like Troy said throw some dates out there and see if something will work.

 

Along with what Dave has said here make sure the caps on the oil and fuel filter are Ford ones as well and not aftermarket.

Really.....a salesman will say anything to sell a car...even lie. Your kidding right?

 

I know its hard to believe Troy but it happens.

 

@dave...........I paid 10,800 for it. Maybe that's not a bad on doing the oil change. I'll have to wait with the other fluids until I get paid again. From what tenvoorde has told me they would do an oil change to also.

The pods on the A-arm have fuel pressure, boost, and volts.

 

Hey Cory I think I woould like to take you up on that if I could. I'm around all weekend long. Don't you live in Holdingford?

 

Sorry I was a bit busy this weekend with basketball tourney. I have a another tourney on Sat but you could swing over Sunday afternoon if that works. That would be the next open time I have. I am sure your excited to get it figured out and don't want to make you wait too long.

 

I had a thought and I wanted to hear people's thoughts? Being that the truck is a SD. Has anyone or does anyone know of people working for a company in Indana that pulls brand new campers from the factory to dealers around the U.S.? Is there money to be had in doing that? Also would my F250 with 121,000 miles on it handle that sort of thing?

Thank you in advance

 

I'm not having any luck finding any Class A work where they don't want experience.

 

how the frame rust?

 

I don't know anyone personally. I am sure there is some money to be made. Personally I wouldn't do it unless I had a dually. You have plenty of power and all but with pulling big fifth wheels and some of the longer travel trailers stability will be a factor with your truck in the wind and bad roads. Not that it can't be done with your truck but will be much nicer and safer with a dually IMO. You will have to research and call companies but some I know require a newer truck so yours might be too old.
