THANKS,YELLOW HORSE

#1198 of 1235 Extended Warranty by joeiwms

We have a 2007 F250 Diesel and would like to see about getting an extended warranty. But we are not sure where to start and who to trust. Does anyone have any suggestions on where the best place is to buy an extended warranty?
Tahnks.

Has anyone problem towing a camper or enclosed trailer? I just pull a 14 foot enclosed trailer from Conway SC to Maggie Valley NC my avg fuel mileage there was 7.2 coming back 8.8. Rear end makes noise pulling camper.

We pull our 25 ft Jay Feather and get about 12mpg on it--also depends on wind direction going thru Kansas...we have never had any trouble, always had a smooth and relatively quiet ride (as quiet as it can get in a truck anyway)--no noise from the rear end. We had a stabilizer installed on the trailer to make it a smooth ride...do you have one on yours? It may make a difference.

Jun 19, 2010 (8:02 pm)

I HAVE A 2004 F250 W/ 74K MILES, THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SO I'VE NOTICED THE TURBO WON'T ENGAGE. I CAN GET IT TO ENGAGE IF I FLOOR IT OR TURN THE TRUCK OFF FOR A BRIEF SECOND. IT GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE THEN COMES BACK.....ANY IDEA WHY ITS DOING THIS?

Hello at 66000 miles this is the 2nd time the turbo got rebuilt. On my truck the variable disk in the turbo is getting stuck. The rebuild with new parts. Check with the Dealer to see if they will cover it.

change your oil more often and get a good exhaust,with out cat or performance cat.
I like shell rotella 15/40 change every 3500 with new (motorcraft filter ONLY)
