It wasn't the light bulb, it was the blond hair. Happens to me all the time! :D

Don't panic till a diesel mechanic (who can read out the fault codes) has a look at it. If it didn't make any ugly...

Your 6.0L F-250 has the same power as an F-350 with 6.0L. What it doesn't have is the weight capacity. With the F-350 you get suspension *and brake* differences that handle greater load. It's not out...

As one blond to another, Google is your friend. At least as far as finding references to all the various options. As far as Banks goes, what I can offer is info for a truck with a diesel engine. If...

If the Banks exhaust brake is any indication (as used on the Ford 7.3L diesel, but not available for 6.0L or newer diesels), it's intended to take braking-load off the transmission. So it introduces...

The 6.4L used in our 2008 F350 has about the worst mileage of any pickup offered for those years... 11-15 mpg in the sales brochure which is an optimistic estimate when running solo at speeds under...

At 36,000 miles I had an injector go, just 1,500 miles after we bought our 6.4L F-350. I had a lot of experience with marine diesels but none with car or truck diesels, so to me it appeared to be a...

It will reduce the space between the duals by 20mm... just under 1" which seems a lot. You need to see what spacing Firestone says you have to have to accommodate tire flex and compression under load...

What you describe is what I suspected. I did a temp repair with (aarrrgh!) duct tape- Red Green would have been proud. Then I waddled around inside the shower paying attention to any flexing. I was...

Consistent with our good fortune we are 3 months out of warranty! I even thumbed thru the paperwork to see if maybe I'd bought the extended warranty, but no joy.

Depending on what I turn up here...

Exactly my thoughts! Very disappointing mfg. design. Still, my search on this forum didn't turn up any other failures (including yours, which makes my search suspect!), so I guess it's not the issue...

The difference between the truck tire and the trailer tire is the truck tire can be installed on driven and steering wheels and the trailer tire can't. Side wall strength is described by the load...

Just to give you something else to think about, we considered the Sleep Number based on strong recommendations from friends. Plus we looked at a few others. In the end we bought a TempurPedic queen...

The extension limit was marked on our legs. It's a small arrow head. Came that way from the factory. You can make use of those bottle jacks if you want to confirm the marks are really there. That way...

Remember that Everest is an orphan. I don't recall when that happened, but my wild speculation is that the chassis was originally ordered from the supplier (Lippert?) for use as an Everest. Then,...

Had a problem which sounds similar. In our case the trailer-disconnected message popped up and wouldn't go away. A mobile repair tech found there was a continuity problem with the connector in the...
