My 2011 F250 Is Finally Done.

It has EVERYTHING..there is nothing else I can think of...

I have added a Factory Ford Navigation.

A new set of Rims...Kept the 18" size.

Having the "Seic" MOD done on Thursday...It's a MOD to where I can flip a switch and raise my rpms to a higher level to burn off soot..in lay mans terms. I tend to idle a lot for my business.

Here are some pictures.....If you don't mind.





25,000 miles and I love her more everyday!!

Shane

35,000 mile update.

I love this truck as much as the day I signed the papers. It has taken me to the Florida keys and to pikes peak and several places in between. Tows my airstream like nothing is behind me. The comfort from the heated and chilled seats are pure 1st class. The supplemental cab heater, I'm really enjoying this time of year. I do like to open the moon roof with the heated seats on. Best of both worlds. I have had to use my 4x4 several times already, but the electronic locking differential helps to not use it as often.

I'm averaging about 13.5 mpg towing my stream fully loaded, but I am heavy on the pedal..going close to 75mph...sometimes faster....the power this baby has is crazy! 400 hp and 800lbs of torque! Not towing city driving a consistent 16.5. Non towing hwy I get around 21. Overall I am loving my Ford. Issues? I have had none. Ford has really hit a home run with these trucks...could not be happier.



Stream Safe.

Shane

Big Red just had his 1st birthday and 12,000 miles. 10,500 towing a 8200lb Airstream and I love this truck. We just had the 50 gallon Titan tank installed and that solved the only issue that was preventing it form being the perfect tow truck.

50 gal diesel tank

First time witing a message. I have a 2008 F-250 and would like to install a 50 gallon fuel tank. Just started airstreaming and while traveling I am constantly looking to refuel. I have two questions for you guys, why did you pick Titan and how much was the overall cost. Thanks. Oh by the way, I love this truck and it's pulls my 2008 27 FB with ease.

No aftermarket here,especially on a newly designed engine. Ford does not recommend it and will void any warranty work related to the new aftermarket tank....Don't do it,...IMO.

Ford has added the 50 gallon option to their IDS software and your dealer can make the changes so the miles to empty computer readout is correct. Why would they add dealer support for it?

Titan Tank Install- I need software version for Calibration - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com

Thanks for the feedback, I will research further on the factory Ford product or Titan product.

I dont work for Ford,...so your gonna have to dig out that answer.

I'm just saying,...it is not worth the risk. New Engine design....Why mess with it. I dont want or need and reason for anything under this new engine design to not be covered , if needed.



There is a warning about Aux tanks in the literature when I bought my 2011 F250. It states any aux fuel tank on the 6.7 diesel can and may cause water in the fuel and will void your warranty if repair is found to be associated. I am guessing they are referring to Bed mounted tabks...but it is not specific. So again,...why chance it?

That is what needs to be answered.

Just my humble opinion.

SHane

Seeing as how warranty claims for 6.7L engine destruction are being stonewalled by Ford on a few threads on a few Ford forums, I'd say you're right.

Better safe than sorry....In those example low lubricity or bad fuel will do it....Which makes sense to not cover it,......Not any Manufacturers fault if I get bad diesel. Which appears to be the case.
