RE: Road Rage Not Good...
Wow. A couple of folks here jumping on the Ford driver. What exactly did the Ford driver do wrong. The Dodge was going slow, he passed it. Then the Dodge driver passed him and slowed down again. I often drive with my cruise control on and have idiots pass me, slow down. Without ever touching the controls, I will pass them again (probably because they were talking on the phone). Since I driver a Ford and had my cruise control on, I guess I did something wrong too??????

RE: F250 PStroke 6.0 blown? ('06)
Have an update tonight and hopefully more tomorrow. Yesterday I went to the dealer (after dropping it off) to get something I left in the vehicle. Ford said they wouldn't get to look at it until middle of the week, but Saturday it was in the bay and the mechanic was under the hood. He said he had a number of things to still check out, but was almost sure the turbo needed to be replaced. He still thought I should have it back by the end of Monday. I'll get the full story then.

RE: F250 PStroke 6.0 blown? ('06)
Injector went bad while on an Arkansas camping trip this summer. It happened on my way home Saturday night and we limped home - on the bad injector because there was no one open to fix it. Just took it easy. I feel as though the truck has lossed power, but not much. I get a different smell from the truck and white exhaust smoke. The smell was coming into the cabin. I first thought it was because the dealer service center didn't put it back together right after they repaired my oil leak. I noticed smoke coming from the band clamp from the down exhaust down pipe. They left it loose and they didn't line it up right after their repair. While figuring that out, I notice that it was wet with oil.

55K miles. It has the stock program, although I have reprogrammed it in the past with "safe tow" from the superchip.

F250 PStroke 6.0 blown? ('06)
I've had sensor problems, oil leak, bad injector. Now there is oil coming from the engine down into the exhaust pipe? Any ideas what causes that?

RE: Post photos of your toyhauler
Shame Rage'n went out of business. I would replace mine with another when I was ready for bigger or newer.

What did Santa bring you?
I'm happy just with seeing the joy in my 5yo daughter and 8yo son. We focused on them as we are blessed all year long. As soon as the winter passes, wife and I will add a home theater, office and excercise room to our house. The roof has to come off, so it wasn't going to happen for Christmas!
I still would like to see what cool things you guys got?

RE: towing in TX
To the OP, appreciate the information, but I'm not sure the reason why one would warn others to follow the law. Would you warn us on the board here if you only received a speeding ticket? In my youth I used to flash my lights at oncoming cars if I had passed a speed trap. Never again. Law abiders don't need to be warned.
I don't fault you for your set up. I'm more bothered by people overweight because they pose a real danger to others. I'd even go as far as to say keep doing what you are doing and pay the fine. It's cheaper than changing your set up and likely to never be stopped for the same thing again. Feel free to also become compliant to the law since it is technically the right thing to do.

RE: towing in TX
texas has really cracked down since nafta. there have been more and more mexican trucks on our roads.
No there haven't - assuming you are talking commercial? There are NO Mexican trucks our our roads. The law to allow that lasted a few fleeting moments and was turned over. You are very, very mistaken. You are commenting in an area I have professional experience. US commercial drivers are not delivering cargo south of the border nor vise versa. Cargo is transloaded or US trailers are pulled south of the border by Mexican drivers/power.

RE: Hope more effort went into the vehicle than that production
We should have let GM and their UAW workers all go down the drain. They brought it on themselves. This is pathetic. What a waste of our taxes!

RE: Which lane do you drive in?
2nd in from the outside. That leaves room for cars to get on and off the freeway ramps and leaves the faster lanes open for faster moving traffic.
Although I should say that in Houston, drivers drive in what ever lane they feel like and make it an obstacle course for everyone else. It makes it very dangerous because it increases the overall number of lane changes and forces cars to pass on both the left and right of you. Not good if you are a motorcycle rider like I am.

RE: 4x2 or 4x4 for towing ??????
I couldn't possibly count how many times I've needed 4x4 over the last 3 years. Hell, I used it today. Maybe if I NEVER left that pavement?? That will never happen for me.

RE: Question About my Dually Tires
You are fine, but you did leave off the MOST important factor which is the hitch weight of the trailer. 16K is the GVW of the whole unit.

RE: Pros & Cons of a Fuel Transfer Tank
I once pulled out of my driveway in Houston at 6pm one evening with my wife. Kids fell asleep in the back. Arrived in Albuquerque the next morning and the fuel gauge was still on full without ever having to stop for fueling. Made it all the way back to south of Lubbock on my way home before my first fueling.
I've had trouble while towing my trailer several times trying to find a place I can get into with my trailer which also sells diesel. Less of a concern if you use gas because every station carries that!

RE: ARP head studs for 6.0 PSD
Install an EGT and make sure you don't get to the point where you've pushed the engine so hard that they will fail.

Funny. I read his post and all I could think was: IT'S YOUR TIRES AND 3.55 GEARS! Of course I read on and see that the rest of you have all passed the test. Good work gang.

RE: Truck Stop Etiquette
I run a trucking company and have never heard drivers complain about RVs at the diesel pumps. I use them all the time for mine p/u because it holds 89 gallons and I don't want to wait for the slow volume pumps where the cars fill up.
Truck drivers wait to get loaded with cargo, wait to get unloaded, wait for travel times with their hours of operations, etc. etc. It is a game of waiting in their profession. Just don't block the pump when you are done filling.
