Should have just traded up to an '05-'07. I'm sure the wife would understand. [IMG][/IMG]

LOL! I wish[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0[/IMG] My buddy is thinking about selling his '05 (the one with turbo problem) and buying a 2008 PSD. I would buy his, but it has way to much "bling" on it and I wouldn't enjoy 4x4ing in it[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0[/IMG] And the wifey would really like to hear about me wanting another PSD after putting a new tranny in this one.</end quote></div>

TorqShift is nice. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It's fun even in town w/o a load.

I'm getting used to the fronts of the '08s.

I read an article in Consumer Reports that really dogged the ride of the HD trucks (GM, Ford and Dodge.) Ummm...how about this...they aren't going to ride like a Caddy you nimrods. Unless someone puts a full airbag suspension on one.

That's the problem with people nowadays, they want to be able to haul the house on it's foundation[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] but have that plush don't hurt by butt ride[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Give me a break, it's a truck built to haul your butt and trailer around[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

We took my buddy's '05 PSD in to the dealer to have the turbo replaced. Come to find out, they said it didn't have the latest update installed on it for the turbo[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] so, instead of replacing the turbo they reprogrammed the turbo and sent him on his way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] The PSD still lags big time! Not being very happy he's looking at getting a new truck. Test drove a new Chevy last night, what a dawg[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Not much better then how his '05 is running. Tonight drove the new PSD, now that thing pulls great and looks a heck of a lot better than a Chevy.

And what is up with Chevy and their LT1, LT2 LT3 and LTZ? Thought I was at a Suzuki dealer.

Man, dealers suck. Couple weeks ago the supervisor takes his Expedition in. Radio was throwing codes and the CD took a dump. Pull the radio and sent it off to be replaced. Friday they put it back in. Put the radio back in, but didn't notice that they put the dash trim on wrong. Completely covers the gear selection window, trip meter select/reset button. Just completely wrong.

That is lame as heck! Like you couldn't tell things didn't line up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

We're taking his into another dealer tomorrow and see what they come up with. We do know one person who had his '05 bought back from Ford for the same reason my buddy's is having problems. Unfortunately, my buddy's has after market goodies under the hood and they will probably fight him on it. Even though it's a common problem among the '05 models.

 

I purchased a 99 F350 dually crew cab with the 7.3 Diesel about 5 months ago and already have made modifications. I purchased an Edge Evolution Programmer with 3 settings.
1. Tow (60hp)
2. Race (80hp)
3. Extreme (100hp)
Yes, I have tried all 3, but I didn't leave it in Extreme very long. I still need to install an aftermarket exhaust and some guages. My trailer is a 6x12 enclosed and until I upgrade I believe the 60 extra HP will be plenty.

It's great having a work horse and hot rod all in one.

 

Welcome to the forum Sleepy Floyd[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have the Evolution on mine set at 60hp along with the Attitude that runs my gauges and next 5 levels of power that I can adjust on the fly[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] You are correct that the 60 hp is all you really need for towing your trailer. I've seen the biggest gains at that hp with minimal loss of mpg.

 

well hey diddley-do there neighbors! I was thinking of MD cuz some guy over in the 'Zuki forum asked if he could put a winch on a Z400. I immediately conjured up an image of MDs "battleship iron" homemade mount! I told him to find you and ask.

We just bought an '04 Z400 Limited edition, with yoshi pipe, K&N filter, outerwear and powerlid, dynojet kit, Big Gun rev box, extra paddles & rims all-round, very little use. Now if I could just get it to stop leaking gas! The petcock doesn't seem to work cuz gas flows in the "on" position (it's supposed to need vacuum) and there is no "off". also, I cleaned carb, adjusted float level, checked float needle and seat.... the problem must be somewhere in the float needle, seat & float tho. we bought it in Eugene. Almost thot about getting one in Sacramento that seemed like a pretty good deal.

Anyways, just gearing up to replace my PSD ballljoints, inner tie rod, center link, and front and rear brakes. maybe even my rear E-brake shoes. that should keep me busy for the weekend.

I noticed my Tekonsha brake controller was acting up and making strange musical noises. Brakes also seemed lax. It's an older style controller that needs levelling, and then you adjust brake output. I see someone local has a Reese controller on sale for $65, so maybe I'll try that one and see if it's any better.

TTYL!
