6.7 DPK kit -- seems to be a copy of the S&S kit

Found this searching online for the 360 degree thrust bearing kit that comes in a turbo repair kit. Seems to be an exact copy of the S&S designed DPK. FYI...

Not speaking for it or against it... just posting up for information only.

I read this stuff in my news feed yesterday and I am not impressed at all. To much pay for crap. ATT you have got to be kidding me. Why not l;et the custom er pick which service he wants? Another thing if you c an't tow a trailer you have no business towing on the road in the first place. Ya I know I had my issue but I was turning wide and crap happens but is there something wrong with mirrors? Backing up a trailer is something you need to master if you tow. You can practice it in a parking lot. I have backed my trailer about 100 times in some difficult places. Thinking is part of the deal. I bet these trucks will be in the 100K range with all this stuff. I do like 4X4 is standard. I also like the 2 choices for the 6.7 but seriously who wouldn't get the most power? Begs the question how much more for that power? It is a lot of stuff crammed into a truck. Will we be smart enough to use this stuff? Will it distract us more than we already are. Do I think it's a truck truck hell ya It would be nice for Ford to concentrate on the truck rather than a modem. I have a 120 volt inverter that I have yet to figure out why. It's only good for charging my phone I can't run a drill on it.

Looks like I gave ya something to rant about...

These new trucks will cost an arm and a nut for sure. Lots more tech and lots more to go wrong for sure. Good looking truck but will be $$$.

I just wanted to pass along. You're welcome to complain about anything I post up Bone...

Is Diesel Motor Oil the Right Choice for a Gasoline Engine?

While the title may make some feel this doesn't belong here in the 6.7 Powerstroke section, it has good pertinent info on diesel engine (HD) oil. Came across my news feed.

It just drives me nits that Ford has all this technology built into these trucks yet they can't deliver trucks because the Blue Oval is missing LOL. Most of this stuff is unnecessary. Would I like to have one sure but the problem is sometimes you want this but you have to take this as well. When I bought my Taurus I wanted Adaptive cruise control but i couldn't get it in the performance package.
Question is did you like my Rant?

Kryptonite Suspension Products

I came across these guys when I was looking into the 360 degree heavy duty thrust washer kit upgrade that @brokestroke was talking about with his F450. These guys look like they make heavy duty stuff for our trucks. If I start posting that I bought these stuff for mine with pics of it installed, it means I somehow just became independently wealthy as this stuff is not cheap.

Check it out...

That's funny, I just had to redo a leaking oil pan and have had the exact same battery light issue with the wire trough. My oil pan left a ton a sealant on the block though.

How many miles on that truck that you re-did? Newer or an older truck?

Deleted truck saving the environment

So I ran into this guy today, a late model Ram with the 6.7 Cummins and obviously deleted. He was saving the environment from all those DEF bottles and was rolling coal whenever he accelerated. It must feel so good blowing that black smoke while saving the earth...


I tried to get a better pic but you can see the faint black smoke on the right... It was way heavier at times. Must be awesome just throwing fuel away like that out of the tailpipe.
