Ordered a fuel boss this morning
You'll never look back. I must be 4-5 years into mine now and love it. As for pulling fuel or cold weather, we get -20 here where I live and no issues at all. Best money i spent on my truck yet, and yes, Richard is awesome to deal with

Should I?? 6.7 L?
Have never driven in a 6.7, seems alot of people like them. I looked at upgrading a while back and started asking and reading. One thing I saw was that most people running them said rip off the emissions crap and run delete kits and it will be a good truck and work much better, less problems. Then I read the USA emissions regulators cracked down on companies selling delete kits, handing out hefty fines to them and making them stop making kits. IMO, that looks like the beginning of them really going aboard the emissions issue and eventually starting to clamp down on people running these kits. What happens in the good ol USA, eventually migrates here to Canada so I decided to stick with my 2nd Gen. Gas vs diesel...IDK. I talk to alot of guys I work with running Hemi's getting 18-21mpg highway they claim (not hauling). If you don't haul often is the extra cost of diesel really worth it ? I often wonder

Our Tax Dollars At Work!
I personally wont give to my local food bank for the fact I know there are to many well off people going into it and saying they need food and depriving the truly needy people from getting what they need. People like that ruin it for everybody

OEM bumper mount fog lights?
Where did you see the LED conversion kit ? I see a truck in my town that has LED's for the driving lights but haven't been able to get around when he's stopped somewhere to ask him about them

Losing faith in Napa's calipers
I too have had a past issue with Napa calipers. I'm not hard on my brakes and have had the same rotors for about 8 years now, still vibration free. I have replaced all my calipers at one point in the past eight years, the Napa one is one I had to do over again in a little over a year . Maybe it was just luck of the draw Just my

High idle with the 6speed manual trany?
I had mine in a couple years ago, the mechanic didn't have a clue how to do it. I had to show him the paper and then he asked if he could keep it in case someone else came in to have it done. Mine works great

Cold in Canada ?
I agree Wild and Free. If you've been living in that climate or have grown up in it, it doesn't seem bad when you get it. I heard them say how cold it was this morning and was kind of shocked as it didn't feel that bad to me.

Change of plans
Very true! 12 years of a bad farrier left us with an almost crippled horse. Finally got one that is getting her to come around, 2 years and counting. Lots of farriers out there, and alot of crippled horses for life due to the ones that think they're good, but really aren't. Get good at helping the bad ones you'll have lots of work

Change of plans
Now i'm going to make a statement here and to any engineers on this site, this isn't painting everyone with the same brush. ISX, my opinion on college, degree papers, etc...it's gone out of control. I work in a tire manufacturing buisness and I can tell you this, there seems to be an influx of engineers being hired and from what I see the majority of them that come into our plant are as dumb as a stick and have no clue about the real world. I have a high school degree, will admit I can be pretty stupid, but I can say when it comes to some of what I'm seeing out of these guys and girls, i'm a freakin genius!They have no work ethic, they have no energy, they have no common sense and have no willingness to ask the people that have been working with the machinery for 30+ years for advice on how to improve. They do what they want, when it goes wrong they don't admit their mistake but instead try to talk everyone around them into how their mistake is a good idea. Ex: a hoist lifting system for approx 75lbs, that they designed something to lift a freight train but it took 3 times as long to maneuver it around then it should've. End result, we had to put up with their mistake for 4 years until they finally took them out and threw them in a scrap pile...$150 000 later!Sad to see no company wants to look at people nowdays without a degree. I feel college is a place where alot of the lazy generation now go and pay alot of money for someone to eventually give them a piece of paper with a signature on it to say they're smart, whether they're the stupidest person on the planet or not .I agree with dorkweed, if you are good at what you do, degree or no degree you will always get work. If you're good i'd much rather pay someone like you $75/hr to work on my Cummins if I could, them someone like a Cummins dealership that charges $110/hr, because they have a papered mechanic that may in fact not know as much as you may. My father was old school, grade 7 education and the man could tear anything down and fix it, and he always had work in his life because his name got around that he was good, honest and wasn't out to rip people off. How do you get out there and get work without a degree, you start doing it on your own if you have to, get your name buzzing around. People talking is one of the best forms of advertising you can get. Thats my

Need some help with F150
You know, if it were me and i've been going there for years I'd go talk to the owner, figure out what they worked on for sure, if the assembley was in fact off, loosened..whatever, and i'd try to come to some sort of mutual agreement. If I couldn't reach an agreement with them, i'd say my peace of being a loyal customer to them, tell them I felt their not doing me right and I would'nt be back. Then i'd be on my way and fix it myself or take it somewhere and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

NV5600
Try changing the fluid, less that $100 and aint going to hurt. I used Penzoil syncromesh for manual transmission, cheaper then Mopar fluid. Whatever you use, make sure it matches the requirements for the transmission so you dont take a chance of doing damage. Alot of people add a bit extra when doing it, claims it helps lubricate some gears a bit better then just using the called for amount.
