#1037 of 1181 Towing by smoothride4me Mar 23, 2008 (2:35 pm)
I have an aluminum 2 horse trailer which I tow with my 1999 ford F250 7.3 diesel.. Complete weight of the trailer with the horses in it are about 4000 pounds, Now I am looking to put a Lance cabover in the bed of the truck weighing about 2000 pounds, Would I be able to have the cabover and pull the horse trailer without boosting up the rear suspension?  Thanks for any help I can get!!!

HELLO I HAVE A 1999 F-350 CREWCAB, LONGBOX, 4X4, 3:55, SINGLE WHEEL, 6 IN LIFT and 6IN EXHAUST    I was wondering if anyone has converted to veggie oil yet, I am thinking I might. I was also wondering what chip works the best to improves millage. By the way for all you ford owners out there I average 22.5 on a flat surface driving 58. In town I average 16. I drive alot in the summer with the truck and on 300 mile trip I average 20-21 with out a chip. I have been told that the 6.4 has plastic injectors and the 6.0 block cracks around 130K; my cousin works at a ford dealer. I know alot of people where I live have kept the 7.3 because the 6.0 is shit. If I where to buy a new truck I would get a Dodge, But I love mine to much to ever get rid of it.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Nov 07, 2003 5:46 am) I would get the 7.3 in a 1999, best mpg and the 6.0 is crap. I have a 1999 F-350 crewcab 4x4 and I average 20-22 on the highway and 16-17 in town, without a chip. 1999 has only had one recall and is a hell of smother the a 1997 and down.

Replying to: smoothride4me (Mar 23, 2008 2:35 pm) On my Ford F350 dually I have found the automatic/manual cab controlled air bag load levelers to be a great asset. No matter what type of load I am carrying, and or pulling, I can set the pickup level. The biggest advantage to using the air bags over booster or heavier springs (which I have used in the past) is that I have a good ride at all times, loaded or unloaded. I have had no failures in the air bag system in 87,000 miles. I would highly recommend them. Don’t buy a “good cheap” set as have some other drivers I know.. They are neither good nor cheap in the long run. I also use a very good set of tires which also improves the ride and stability of the unit.

Replying to: fordisthebest1 (Mar 23, 2008 8:48 pm) My neighbors have been using used vegetable oil in 2 Dodge pickups and a couple of utility tractors for over a year now, and I have heard no complaints They process their own vegetable oil. They have a contract with a number of fast food restaurants and a commercial food provider for about 1500 students. The containers they provide to the vendors are about 42" plastic cubes in a steel mesh cage on a permanent "pallet". They started out with re-using the 5 gallon containers the oil came in but found that to be too messy and time consuming. Those plastic "bottles" seemed to get weakened with the hot oil being put in them, and some of them would "pop" when they were handling them. When the "bottles" are empty, you have to deal with that problem and the cardboard box they come in. I will ask them about any problems they have had, but I don’t think they have any complaints as I do work with them regularly. I don’t think they run straight vegetable oil when they are pulling loads. I’ll ask and fill you in.
#1044 of 1181 Turbo Issue by jendabi Mar 25, 2008 (11:48 am)
I drove to Dallas from Houston this weekend. I have a 2005 F-250 PSD. My turbo quit giving boost (gave very little) and it took forever to accelerate from 60-80. Had the issue start about mid way through the drive up. Now everything seems to be fine. Drove all the way home and during the whole weekend with no problems. Any know what the issue could have been.
#1045 of 1181 1997 F 250, 460ci by willyd88 Apr 25, 2008 (10:26 am)
I just bought the above vehicle and I am wondering the best way to get fuel milage. I was debating on putting in a chip, or doing the K&N filter kit. I have heard on the the diesels that fords factory filter system is as good as, if not better than the K&N   If a chip is the way to go, what is a good one to go with to get the best milage and power?   Thanks Replies to this message: lzrdking98 (Apr 25, 2008 2:00 pm)

Replying to: willyd88 (Apr 25, 2008 10:26 am) Dear Willy,      First of all the stock air cleaner is not the quality of the K&N product but it will suffice. Lastly, the best program out there to chip your truck is the Hypertech. You can go to their website at www.hypertech.com. This program will increase power, torque and MPG. But, be realistic. You have a truck and it weighs a lot, your mpg will never be over 18mpg. Good luck   Troy
