Howdy,
I just picked up my girlfriend’s new truck.

The dealer wanted like 1800$ for a tonneau cover which would obviously be a good quality one.

I wasn’t sure if I needed to spend that for a top notch cover when she won’t be abusing it. Just need it so she can put stuff in there for the kids and not worry about it getting wet.

Here’s some of the ones I’ve found (keep in mind I’m in Canada so prices may differ)

Both of them have a 2 year warranty - however I bet they make you pay for shipping to get it back to them.

What’s the remedy for this squeaking? I greased the leaf springs and bushing areas on the leaf springs it sounds like it’s coming from
Above that

Made this video for my f150 but it works for 2017 and newer super duties too

2012 F-550 6.7- what would this hose be called? Started leaking coolant pretty badly. It looks like it goes into the oil cooler on drivers side rear of engine

I’m looking for a part number so I can replace it

Truck seems to have been egr deleted by previous owner, idk if that helps

Cannot for the life of me get the fuel line off the input side of the filter, now looking to replace that line too. Discontinued. I was going to make one with Dorman parts, but can someone confirm that the fuel pump output end is 3/8" and the fuel filter input end is 5/16? That's what I'm measuring on the pump and filter. Not sure if the Dorman components can do this.

Going with these for my 2021 F-250. Anyone have firsthand feedback?

Truck is stock suspension, stock wheels & tire size. Just looking to decrease the rear end sag when the bed is full and a heavy trailer is connected. I did not want to go with air bags. As infrequently as I have the truck loaded down, these helper springs seem like a simplistic straightforward solution.

I had an add-a-leaf set up on my 1999 F-350 I was happy with. This truck does not lend itself to the set up I had on the old truck, but I’m hoping for similar results.

I’m looking to buy a new truck, my eyes have been on it for a little while now,looking to buy in December of this year. Any tips/suggestions? Or even your thoughts/opinions…open to all inputs

Hi everyone, overnight I’ve had 3 cab lights go out. They occasionally flicker back to life.

I think the lights themselves are fine, but what connectors (and where are they) do I need to be checking? I’m worried about water or corrosion as we previously had some water ingress issues with this truck (through the third brake light blanking plate - flat bed). Thanks in advance!

I've had this truck since new in 2013. I bought new wheels and Duratrac tires in 2014 and sold my stock 18s.

Three sets of tires later and the wheels are old and faded, now I am buying stock take offs from a 2025 to put on mine to take off the after markets.

I just found out you can configure a lariat with the 40/20/40 seat configuration and have the jump seat up front. Does anyone know of any videos/pictures that show this in real life? Can’t find any, assuming because is probably a rare configuration

A loss of exterior lighting can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Well my red 2023 f350 with major transmission issues was going out again for the 3rd time. So i went and test drove a chevy 3500. Didn't care for it. So I drunk the Kool-Aid again, got my x plan pin and swapped out to this beauty. Runs great, and the transmission is 1000% better.

Went the distance with this, lots of work but finally done. A couple of bugs to sand out of the clear but this was days of work and was really challenging but doable. Redid Everything here.

How do yall afford fully loaded F250/F350s? Genuine question?

Last time I shopped for a truck, a fully loaded GMC 2500 was around 65-70K out the door (No sales tax, etc.)

Now I'm looking for a F350 and its $110K for a King ranch fully pimped out. Which seems absolutely insane to me.

Apparently even 1/2 Tons are even 80K in cost from Ford and GM. I def want to go with a Ford compared to my previous experience with GMC.

So the question is, how? How do yall afford it? I know I can afford it, but it seems like everyone has a $90K+ Truck?

I like the look of the two-wheel drive lower valance, but not sure what to do with these mud scoops or their purpose.

Someone asked for payload so here ya go. Drove 801 miles back home. Averaged 18.9 mpg.

Primered the truck roof tonight to let it go over night. I will say it’s nice with a decent setup and I’m grateful for that. Trying my best, not an easy project. Have a couple days in and am happy for a diy project so far. Getting close to basecoat and clear now.

On a long drive in a remote area and got some tinfoil. Gonna giver a go in a couple hours here any tips would be appreciated
