Re: New BFGoodrich KO2 tire
Bellpilot - I run the same tire. The speed difference between the R and S is kind of silly to me. Who cares about 6 mph? The R is rated for 106 mph and the S 112 mph. I rarely drive over 80 mph...

Re: Winch wiring on diesel
eBay and Amazon to the rescue. Ordered 25 feet of 2/0 welding cable (just under $2/ft shipped), shrink wrap, and lugs online. Now to get out the tools and drop that hard to access heavy battery. ...

Winch wiring on diesel
Happy Sunday all. I'm getting ready to install the new winch in the new Aluminess bumper and wanted to see how others with winches handled the 12 volt power source.
The winch came with 6 foot...

Front Receiver Hitch Anyone?
Draw-Tite front receiver hitch with all mounting hardware. Was a direct bolt-on for our 2007 E-350 Quigley. Not sure how it would fit leaf-spring front ends.
Upgraded to Aluminess bumper and...

Re: how many miles per gallon do you get?
I'll be the first to admit I was hoping for better mileage when we bought our diesel van. I track every tank and it has averaged 13 mpg since new but that includes a lot of around town driving. ...

Re: Too Ignorant to pick Wheels/Tires
I can't fault your logic Mike. I wrote the info directly off the wheel box.... I didn't measure the rims before the tires were mounted so I can't doublecheck the width.

Re: Too Ignorant to pick Wheels/Tires
17" rims aren't as popular as they were several years ago because of the trend of larger diameter wheels. Most domestic light truck manufacturers now come stock with 18" or 20" rims. As a result,...

Re: Best rear differential: Pt.2
Our 2007 RB passenger van doesn't have a full-floater. I read somewhere that the vans had kind of a hybrid rear differential. D70 axle tubes mated to a D60 pumpkin with funky 32 spline axles. ...

Re: Quigley Test Drive: 4x4 issues
Quigley recommends putting the transmission in neutral before switching in or out of 4wd low. Did you do that? Ours is sometimes hard to get in low and will occasionally grind a bit before going...

Re: 06 Quigley wheels.
I'll bet your rims are the 8x170 bolt pattern. My understanding is that Quigley switched to 8x170 in 2005 when the Superduty front axle changed from leaf to coil springs. 17" rims were new in...

Re: Is the diesel back?
I don't think the 6.0 diesel is back as it doesn't meet current emission standards and isn't used in any other current Ford vehicle. Ford was able to use the remaining 6.0 engines by paying a...

Re: My SMB is dead in Death Valley
Most interesting about the brake light and no start issue. Our 2007 diesel will start in park with no foot on brake. I do it all the time to warm it up without having to jump up into the driver's...
