 When the re-designed 2004 Ford F-150 hit dealer lots over 4 years ago, it came with a new 3 valve 5.4-liter V8 engine that produced a decent power band, but really needed to be woken up overall. Engineers at Edge Products in Ogden, Utah helped solve this issue, with the release of the Evolution Programmer. We've been anxious to get our hands on one of Edge's new programmers for Project Truckblog, and wanted to be able to test out their programming unit. Full Story...

How-To Install Four Real Steel Traction Bars
 From a stoplight, the guy next to you gives you "the look," and we all know what that means. As the light turns green, you put the pedal to the metal. In the ensuring launch, the truck shakes violently, bucks, hops, and heaven forbid, you stay on it, and eventually hear a loud "BANG" from a grenaded U-joint, followed by a "clink clink" as the driveshaft hits the pavement Perhaps if you were smarter, you would have known that the axle wrap was giving you traction problems, and you should have backed out of the throttle. But poor judgment (and perhaps a little machismo) kept you from doing otherwise. – DrSpeed

How-To: Install A Fitch Fuel Catalyst
 With fuel economy being first and foremost on the minds of most Americans, it's easy to be caught up in the bolt-on modifications that claim to get better fuel mileage. Even though it's not a truck, it has the same motor as the F-150, so we thought it relevant to show you how easy it was to add the Fitch Fuel Catalyst to Muscle Car Blog's 07 Ford Mustang GT, Project "Pony Up". For a change we actually found something that did increase fuel mileage for our project vehicle which previously averaged 24 highway miles per gallon but now gets 27 miles per gallon, which is outstanding for a high performance muscle car.

Ford has built the ultimate pick up truck of the millennium, and has chosen an iconic name that depicts it perfectly - the Super Duty. The Ford F-250 and F-350 caters to all the needs of full-size truck owners. You have those that use it as a work horse, towing a fifth wheel or goose neck trailer with a gross combined vehicle weight (GCWR) of 31,100 pounds; guys lifting it sky high with Bigfoot sized rolling stock; and those with dropped on airbags, laying frame with 26" wheels. Despite these trucks being all across the spectrum, they have one thing in common: they have to STOP! That's where Stainless Steel Brake Corporation's 8 Piston Brake Calipers come in.
It's no surprise that diesel motor equipped heavy duty trucks being manufactured today have been severely restricted by the factories for production. It saves fuel, lowers emissions and of course makes for a diesel motor that's never really capable of working to its full potential. One of the secrets to unlocking your diesel motors performance potential is van Aaken's SmartBox.
Keeping your truck's automatic transmission properly maintained and cool is a key component to extending the longevity of your transmission's life. Fortunately, maintenance is relatively simple for automatic transmissions as there isn't much that will need to be addressed except replacing the fluid and filters. Automatic transmissions are essentially a series of clutch packs that are connected to drive gears and controlled by fluid pressure. When the fluid is too hot it loses viscosity and can prematurely wear the clutch packs in the transmission causing excessive debris and more heat, making the problem worsen.
