    Newb

    So I live in a place where it never snows, except maybe every 20 years. And I don’t go to the snow very often, which is really only a few hours drive. My question is if I go into the snow with this truck and a big old camper, the thing weighs about 10,000 pounds now. Do I need chains? How many...

    GMRS install

    Hopefully this question hasn’t been pounded into the Earth over and over again. I tried doing a search, but couldn’t find all the information I wanted. I’ve got my GMRS radio, and I’m planning on installing it on top of the dashboard in that indent just in front of the speaker. I was also hoping...

    Service time: Dealership or Independent Mechanics

    So far, I like going to the dealer for getting work done on my truck, whenever needed. I’m not a mechanic so my choices are limited. That said, there is an independent mechanic near buy, that used to work on my previous truck that does great work. By going to the dealer, I get those Ford...

    Another ARB compressor question!

    Quick question here I hope. I’m hooking my ARB twin compressor up to a 1 gallon tank. The tank only has 3 ports in it. One for the inlet, one for the outlet and one for the removal of water build up. Is it a problem that I don’t have a pressure relief valve on it? If so, would a tee work where...

    HELP!?

    So, I did a stupid thing. I drilled a hole through my center console all the way to run some wires. Before I did this, I “thought“ I checked for any possible wires that might be in the way that I couldn’t see, and as far as I thought, there were none. Now, after the hole is there, my back up...

    Duct tape

    Hey all, I’m looking for some good duct tape. The kind I can buy at my local hardware stores is crap. I see a lot of you outfit your trucks with duct tape and so do I, only mine is unreliable. Do you have any opinions on what you feel is the best duct tape?

    Break in

    All my previous new vehicles required a break in period. The last one, a 2019 Subaru Outback said vary the speed and keep it under 65, lower rpms. It didn’t want me to keep a steady speed for extended periods of time, like cruise control until about 500 miles. How about the 7.3? Is there a break...

    Will it start?

    Hi all, I am still waiting for my truck but have a question. I’m a surfer and usually hide my keys when I go out. But with the new truck, it has the combination pad on the door so I can open it without my keys. I bought the console safe for my personal items to be stored in the safe while I...

    Change order?

    I ordered my Tremor at the beginning of June. The sales person didn’t help me as much as I would have liked and I missed adding a few things to my truck build. One of these things was led lighting. My question is this. Ford sent me an acknowledgment that they have my order, but they haven’t...
