Missed this thread. For a ton of good information visit Plowsite.com, good website and a great bunch of guys.
We clear about 75 miles of road (I use the term road loosely) in a very rural mountain area. Here are a few pictures of my take home 2008 F-350 and a video, one piece of the larger stuff. Take care...Jeff

Monroe MS886-RF Under Tailgate Spreader question
Anyone use a Monroe MS886-RF? I need to know hoe the 2 hydraulic lines from the auger, and 2 from the spinner hook up to the truck. It looks like a "no brainer", 2 male, 2 female connectors but the truck it came on has 3 female fittings. Starting to think maybe the seller just put his oldest salter with the truck. I've seen it done many times with plows.

Plow Light Wireing -- wireing diagram
I have a 99 F-250 SD V10 that I use for towing ski boat and I hope to plow my drive with it this winter. I got a used Meyer 7' and everything is working except I need to mount some lights. The instructions require that you cut the hi and low beam wires in the harness to splice in the switch. Does anyone have a wiring harness diagram that would make it easier to find these wires. I think they are all in a bundle on the driver side fender well?

Pertinent Info for 2008-2010
This is pertinent to the 2008s-2010s but this seemed like a great thread to get owner's attention.
Bushwalter,
You should be able to find a wiring diagram on Myers website under installation or troubleshooting.

Edit: I have used both the rubber and metal/spring tensioners and prefer the rubber ones. The metal/spring tensioners break too often.

Not sure about the aftermarket intake, I have not heard anything, if you can keep the snow from getting in the engine compartment then it is not an issue.
I would take a picture of the towels for you but the truck is at the Dealer right now getting serviced, new windshield and I think an Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor. Basically I block off the area behind the passenger side headlight because that is where the intake is. I also place a big towel blocking the gap between the passenger side of the grill and the headlight. If you let that towel hang down in front of the hood release it also keeps it from icing up. If this thread is still going when I get my truck back I will take a couple of pictures. Take care...Jeff

2008 F250. Came with the 5200lb springs, but I swapped in the plow prep 5600lb springs. Put the cab clearance lights on Wednesday. 8ft Western Pro Plow. Haven't used any of this yet, so I can't say how well it will do. But its only for my house and my parents, so I'm sure I'll be fine.
