Sorry to hear, I thought it looked like a 6.0. Sounds like another dumb a$$ car salesman that doesn't even know thier product, just tryin to make a buck on an ususpecting buyer. Did you get to see the Oasis on it?

I'm ready to purchase my first Diesel truck and need some info. and advice please. My wife and I have decided to go for a 2008 F-350 or possibly an F-450. This is going to be my once in a lifetime almost new REAL TRUCK! I plan on keeping whatever we buy for a long time. This truck will only be used to pull a 5th wheel camper and occasional hauling of some antique tractors and autos. It will be a secondary truck for me and will remain garaged most of the time but we'll probably drive it to Church on Sundays just to run it once a week. What advice can you guys give me when shopping for a fairly low mileage used Super Duty? We usually only camp at the beach but with the real truck we plan on going to the mountains some as well. What axle ratio is the best choice for us? Where can I get a list of F-350/F-450 option codes for the 2008 models? Where do you find the options list on the truck itself? How do I know if the truck I'm looking at has the "Tow-Boss" package? What does the "Tow-Boss" package consist of? If we go with a 450 is the 4:30 ratio our best bet? I think the 4:88 would be way over kill for us. How much more will it cost to maintain the 450 over the 350? I assume those 19.5" tires are considerably more to replace than the 17's on the 350? I hate to ask so many questions but this is a huge decision for us. I want to get a truck that will handle anything we ever throw at it and be happy with it for a long time. If you had a choice would it be the 350 or 450? Thanks, Michael

i have a suspension knocking issue. on smooth roads its good. when i hit little cracks in the road it clunks ever so slightly. on rougher roads it is bigger. i have insatalled a pro comp levelling kit on my 2004 F350 SRD. it came with 2 spring packs, u bolts 4 shocks and track bar bushings to adjust for the lift. i have just done the upper and lower ball joints on both sides and passenger wheel brgs. i was also told on the fords that the sway bar bushings pound out, so i removed the sway bars for testing purposes and now it is worse. so i will reinsatall sway bars. i have gone over all fasteners and checked them. after the lift kit was insatalled i had a run in period and retourqued the u bolts again. the noise is really annoying and i want to make sure it is safe for my family. anybody have any other sugestions? when i get out of the bush on wed. i am going to go over everything again and jack the truck up and hang the front axle with no weght and start prying on things to see if ther is any movement on the components. hopefully someone has some advice.thanks. :cool:

I have a 2002 F350 7.3L that has a miss like if you had some fouled plugs in a gas burner at around 1.5 - 2 RPMs 40-50 mph it will almost rattle the doors off sometimes. It fill worse under a load like going up a hill or pulling something but if you change the RPMs give it more fuel or downshift it will go no problems. And if I plug it in at night it doesn't do it or its not as bad. I have changed the oil air filter and fuel filter it will idle OK and if it warms up it don't fill like its doing it. Could it be from the IPR valve or high pressure oil pump?

Im looking at buying a new set of injectors for my 24 valve and i was told marine were the best, but a friend of mine just told me marine will only cause high egts and lots of smoke. So heres my question to you: If marine injectors are so bad, then which injectors should i get then? im looking at about 110-150 range as my truck is just a toy and a daily driver.

my stock injectors are having excess fuel bypass so they are getting replaced or rebuilt so now seems like as good a time as any to upgrade with bigger injector nozzles No head studs yet but i am running a stock turbo, AFE Intake, 4" turbo back exhaust, and a Juice/Attitude programmer i figure 50hp nozzles are safe BUT could i go as far as 90hp nozzles with my current setup and keep EGTs reasonable if i dont run the programmer on a very high setting also i plan to use dynomite diesel

Hi, Bill Sandberg here I am new to this forum and the Duramax so I am not versed in this subject at all and need some experienced advice. I have just purchased a 2006 Silverado 6.6 Duramax LBZ motor, this is the base model Silverado and I would like to put cruise control on the truck. One of the equipment suppliers told me that all I needed was a OEM (GM) turn signal handle with the cruise controls on it. Is this the case or do I have to buy a C.C.kit?

If you had a chassis to put it in, then sure. Is this for exhibition runs? You should check the rules to see if they allow that much engine. I bet that would be some beautiful music coming out the pipes during a pull! Seen a couple 3408's do some good pulls, but a V12 would just shred the track up! lol!

Hey guys. Well I'm new here.. Lookin' for some info really. My 6.0 blew an egr cooler along with some head gasket issues it looks like and I don't have the money to pay for it let alone want to deal with any more problems, so it looks like I'm gettin' rid of it. So I want the most reliable diesel engine possible. I know a lot of guys are bias but here's what I need.. I need a truck that will be used as a daily driver. To campus and back, to work and back, every day, etc. Also will be pulling a bass boat 3 times a week Spring through Fall. MPG is not a huge concern, and I'm not concerned about who gets the most HP and torque and so on. I just need something reliable. I know engines are not perfect and eventually something will go wrong, but I don't want it to cost a fortune to fix. I'm looking for something in the $8 to $10k range. Seriously considering the 12 valve. But don't know a whole lot about the 24. Also looking at 7.3s. What should I do? By the way, this is between Powerstroke and Cummins only. What engine is best for me?
