I couldn't get quoted any percentages off or prices but was told they will send out emails announcing the sale to persons signed up. Salesman said they did the same thing last year and are continuing due to the response. Looking to pickup a CAI, Monster Exhaust, and maybe 6-Gun w/ IQ if the price is right. ]]> OlSmokey http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/black-friday-sale-banks-242689/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/need-08-10-harness-14a413-242429/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:44:04 GMT I have almost completed the 09 Folding / Telescoping mirror upgrade but am needing the Power mirror folding relay, the connector (C4037), and Harness #14A413 to send power to the switches.

I want to put a cold air induction, exhaust( i dont want anything real loud just a little different sound, mainly for performance) and a tuner on it. I am wanting to hear everyone's opinion about which ones to go with. I'm looking to get better mileage and a little more performance.

I located my new truck, and captain's chairs and console was the only option missing. Is it a matter of taking out the 20 seat and replacing it with a console? Is it a straight swap?

Here is my contribution to annoy the hardcore diesel members here with some newbie question nobody cares about, but I'd like some opinions.

I am trading in my 2002 F-350 for a 2009 F-450 CC Chassis that I am going to use for work. I currently have Husky Liners in the 350 currently, but am wondering if there is something newer and better out there. I've had Husky Liners in 5 out of the last 5 trucks, and I have been pleased with them. I would get them again, but after spending $70k on a truck, I want the best of the best in it.

Recommendations?

Thanks,
Brendon ]]> StreamlineGT http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/floor-mat-question-thread-day-242201/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/uses-upfitter-switches-242197/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:27:39 GMT Other than increasing the idle speed and controlling after market lighting, what are some of the other uses you have found for the upfitter switches?

I had the bed and both sides done up to the first seem. I paid for the "xtra" coating which guarantees it wont fade from the gloss black.

Everyone I have checked with has told me that due to the exhaust system, you CANNOT install the hoist without a subframe like you could on the 2007's. This applies to the 2009 trucks (and I guess 2008) as well. My question is has anyone installed a dump bed without adding the 5'' subframe to accomodate the hoist? Having the bed sit up so high will make it hard to reach over the sides and into the bed. It will also look like crap with so much space between the tire and bed. It looks like Ford has forgotten people still use these trucks to work in and with a little engineering, the exhaust could have been routed closer to the axle to accomodate the hoist. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ]]> bmlitton http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/dump-bed-configuration-241837/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/2009-xl-interior-upgrades-241647/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:10:17 GMT I was wondering if my 09 XL has pre wired radio controls on the steering wheel, it has a spot for it (and I know some dodges are like this).

What all is involved ?? Can you do high/low and fogs? What's the cost? Can I switch between Low and High beam without delay? Are there any drawbacks to HID?

I currently have the stock setup. For me the best lighting comes from the low beams with fogs on. High beams light up a greater area but the light is not as bright. There also seems to be a dead about 30 yards in front of the truck. ]]> StanMI http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/what-all-involved-hid-install-241534/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/rear-king-ranch-captains-chairs-241428/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:56:03 GMT i am looking to take my rear bench seat out in my 08 king ranch f250 and put in two captains chairs does anyone know where i could order them? i am looking to take my rear bench seat out in my 08 king ranch f250 and put in two captains chairs does anyone know where i could order them? ]]> bmoney424 http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/rear-king-ranch-captains-chairs-241428/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f55/2010-f-450-fabtech-suspension-lift-241412/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:17:37 GMT I owe a local accesory shop and a custumer brought in his 2010 F-450 and I am looking to install a 6" lift for him...(Fabtech 6" Basic Lift Kit #: K2050D) I have been on the phone with all my local dealers, Ford's direct line, and all kinds of mechanic trying to find the answer to my question.
