Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350


  • What Ladder Rack do You Recommend for My 1993 Ford F-250 with an 8-Foot Bed?
  • Yes, the Thule TracONE w/Cantilever # TH27000XT-EX is extremely easy to install/remove. The first installation will take a bit more time because you have to tighten the bolts on the crossbars to the bases. After that, you are absolutely correct in saying that you simply tighten the knobs on the c-clamps to install and remove. I went ahead and linked a video to this response that shows you how easy the tightening/removal process is. The process starts at timestamp 2:04.

  • Derale Transmission Pan Cooler # D14208 for 1996 Ford F250 w/ 7.3L Engine
  • According to my research, the 1996 F250 7.3l engine should have a E40D transmission. There are two different ways of confirming this. First, you can check the sticker on the driver's side door jamb. You will see the letters TR or TRANS, followed by a letter. If the letter is E, you have the E40D transmission. Secondly, you can check the number of bolts holding the transmission pan on. If there's 20 bolts, it's a E40D. The Derale # D14208 is indeed compatible with the E40D transmission.

  • Proper Size Drop Ballmount for Towing a Boat and Trailer behind a Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4
  • In order to determine what size drop you need will you to measure two things, the height of the coupler on the trailer and the height of the hitch. To measure the coupler height, you will measure from the ground to the bottom edge of the coupler. Do this on level ground with the trailer level. On the truck, you will measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening, again with truck level on level ground. If the truck is taller, then you will need a drop equal to the difference....

  • Ground Clearance Curt Front Hitch 31310 on 1996 Ford F-350
  • We haven't had the opportunity to obtain video footage of the # 31310 front mounted hitch install, but given the to-scale diagram I've provided from the installation instructions, once the hitch is installed the top of the receiver tube will sit about one inch below the underside of the bumper. This would put the underside of the receiver about 4 inches below the underside of the bumper. So, to see how much ground clearance you'll have just measure the distance from the underside of the...

  • Can RoadActive Suspension Be Used on Front Leaf Springs on Vehicles that Have Them
  • I spoke with my contact over at RoadActive Suspension. He said not to use it on front leaf springs because there are so many other moving parts at the front end and they do not test them or rate them for use at the front. If your truck is 4-wheel drive there is another option for adjustable suspension enhancement. You could use Firestone air bags # F2223. It also costs less that the active suspension system.
