Re: Total Loss

High Mark Thanks for getting back so fast. We have a crew cab with the 3:73 . I believe the truck gvwr is 9800 lbs. Not sure if that is the actual weight of the truck though. I know it's rated to tow a 5th wheel up to 15900 lbs. However, the more I read, the more it seems to come down to the GAWR of...

We have found a 2013 cardinal 3030rs that we really like, however the pin weight is stated to be 2550 lbs. I believe this will be ...

Re: jacks

Thanks for the info. I am going to use the shackle mounts too. However, I have never heard of the trailer aid. It looks very interesting. I will have to get one of those. Have a Great 4th

Re: 2006 F250 Problem

That's probably what it was. We only have 30k vacation miles on the truck. Hopefully it want happen again. I probably should drive it more. Thanks for the input Diesel Dave.

Re: 2006 F250 Problem

Just returned from Fl. Had a great time. I changed the fuel filters before the trip. The truck drove like a dream. Ran 65 and 70 the whole way. [1500 miles round trip] I think maybe a few drops of water got through the fuel filters causing the problem.

Re: Warranty about to expire

We went to ford .com and purchased the extended manufacturer warranty using a 800 phone # from there site. We were weary of a dealer backed extended warranty I hope we never ever have to use it. We also have the Good Sam road side assistance.

2006 F250 Problem

Has this happened to anyone? On the way home from spring break, we had a loud banging noise from under the hood on the drivers side. It sounded like a rubber hammer slaming into the hood. This happened 5 or 6 times (bangs) . We could smell diesel. Let off the gas and then had no more problems. Took ...

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, we are not going to make it there after all this year. Hopefully we will make there next year. On the bright side, we will be in Sarasota, Fl instead :D :D
