Nope. Shell stated that they don't guarantee their diesel products, only the unleaded. I wish I would've taken a picture of the wax buildup on the fuel filter I changed a month ago. No more Shell diesel for me i guess.

They look great! I have spacers like you. We can't all be fancy and have an 2005+ F250 suspension like got_a_sol lol
I do need to get a spare tire, I still have the old one in the truck.
Anybody else want to join our elite high caliber wheel club? It's obviously more exclusive than the 04 HD/Lariat/KR/SVT wheel club

A guy I recently met gave me some cards for North West Custom Diesel in Tacoma. He said he has had all his work done there. 7.3l and a 6.0l. See link below.

Sounds like a plan!!

Can't wait to see the thread.

So they didn't screw up and put gasoline in the diesel underground tank, they just have bad fuel?

Mine is in the middle and is stock. The white one is a 4wd swap. The tallest one on the left has a 6" SD lift which on the Ex ends up being 8".

Swaybar day

Got a Helwig swaybar for the rear. Installation day.







Not too bad of an install. Had to modify a parking brake line retaining clip to put on the inside of the frame rail... Oh and a trip to HD because they shorted me 2 washers.

Had to find the wheel that flew past me Saturday morning while towing one of the boats back to my uncles. Bearing locked up.
Not an easy thing to find in all that brush.







A pic of it with the Ex to keep it somewhat on topic:



Cheers,

Nate

Well,
After finally getting my butt in gear - finally wired up my antenna.
Also - found out that these Firestik II's are AM/FM compatible. So I can run the them as my replacement to the factory whip as well!



Could probably use just a dab of silicone to seal it up.


Drilling it just right and able to pull the antenna wire through and wrap perfectly around the mirror motor brackets.



Ran the lead into the same run at the power mirror feed.



Already a hole in the grommet to run extra wires! Thank you




Now just to cap it off with a new connector and plug it into the CB!
