Re: New F350

Welcome to the club of LOW MILEers Love my F 350 and wouldn't trade it for anything else. Fuel mileage sucks, but i'm pulling my house. OOPS ? even without the house the MPG sucks. I've learned from past trucks i've had - This is ONE truck you dont want to MODIFY for any reason. Too many computer se...

Bumper

Rob

Your picture shows exactly what my bumper used to look like.
Exact same set up and almost the same bike carrier (2 adult bikes and 1 kids bike)
The bumper just peeled open where the welds attach the forward runners and rolled down from there.
I like rosey"s idea of a FRAME mounted receiver.

Check your water pump fittings good they usually leak and when U tighten them on 1 end the other loosens up. The flusher valves leak behind the fascia. The door and pull out pantry come loose in travel and if full the weight will shatter the wooden door. The access panel beneath the garden tub - che...

Physics says that too much length on the 1-1/2 inch square tubing causes too much rock back N forth - thus limiting the stability. I only extend them no more than 6 to 7 holes and use the entire legs to support the weight. invest in some good cribbing blocks (wood or composite)" recycled milk c...

Your 250 will definately tow it but will not safely stop it. I have the same unit and pull it with a 350 SRW 4x4 and have no problem. Go ahead and add the airbags just to level the truck when hooked up. Forget the 4.10 rear though, if you had the E4OD tranny that would be ok but with the new tranny ...

50 amp cord storage

Sounds like ya'll need some sunshine and warmth to soften those cords up a little. When I got our new 36-2BHLE I just laid the cord out on the ground for 3 to 4 hrs in the HOT FLORIDA sun and it becomes very manageable, Like the guy said a milk crate works great. just load it right RV recepatcle it ...
