    2015 F250 Mud Flap opinions….

    I'm considering putting mud flaps on my F250. I don't like the looks of mud flaps in general, but I cringe every time I hit a spot of road construction and rocks start flying. I'm looking at either the Weathertech's, Husky's or the OEM Ford ones. I don't really care for the Weathertech's-...

    Brake Control on my 2012 F250SD

    I was wondering if it is a bad thing to do to keep your foot on the brake pedal when you come to a stop. Does the electric magnet heat up as long as the brake is applied. I have a 2014 317RL Wildcat. I usually put the tv in park if i'm stopped for a long time. Any information is greatly...

    Granville on a F150?

    I currently have my Granby on a 1988 F250. I'm planning on upgrading to a newer truck (2010-2014). Can a F150 handle this camper, or should I be looking at a F250? If I get a F150, will a six- cylinder be enough, or should I go for an eight? Are there any problem fitting a Granby made in 2002...
