Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2011 - Adding Steering Wheel Buttons?
This is probably a strange request but I did just get a 2011 F250 XL. The SYNC and audio controls on the steering wheel was an available option, but my truck does not have it. I didn't ask for it to be required in the vehicle search, just one of those "if it has it, awesome" things. I am looking to add the buttons to control the radio and MAYBE SYNC for the bluetooth feature if this is possible.
I know to add SYNC I need a radio that's ready for it, which mine is, and a microphone somewhere and all of that so that's not to be done until a later date. My old F150 had the radio controls on the wheel and I miss that. Can I add the radio controls on the wheel? And maybe SYNC without needing to add a Parrot device for bluetooth? Or am I SOL on both?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 - Replace 20 Inch Wheels With 18 Or 17 Inches?
Have a 2008 F-350 crew cab 4x4 lariat with 20" wheels on it. Tire size is very limited/expensive. Can I replace the 20" wheels with 18" or 17"? I was told it depends on the size of the brakes. How do I check that, short of buying "test" wheels? I am old school and would rather have more tire and less rim, than the other way around.

I'm planning on doing a 2" level. Will I need a drop pitman arm, or can I stick with the stock pitman arm? Will I need anything else? I plan on doing the level when I replace my coil springs and shocks. (I have another thread on that). I'm driving a 2000 F250 V10 2WD CC SB (twin I-beam front axle) if that info is pertinent to this question.

I am trying to get an extra set of wheels for my truck before we move back to Alaska to mount my studs on next winter. I have found a few used sets but then realized I have the tire pressure sensors on my truck. If I pick up a set, do I have to get ones with the sensors? Can sensors be added to the tire shop? I just really have no intel on this subject!

My 1999 SD was originally a Work Truck without cruise. I'd like to add cruise of some sort (factory or after market), but also trying to keep the cost and difficulty factors low.
Have any of you SD drivers ever done this and if so, what you went through?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2000 - Adding SPD Y Pipe?
I want to put in a SPD Y pipe. They make 2 different ones, 99-00 and 00-04. I have a 2000 and so I've been trying to figure out which one. The SPD website's phone number goes straight to voice mail and it's inbox is full. 5 star tuning who sell's these as well told to me to just "get under the truck and see"... I'm no exhaust pro so I don't know what to look for. I just went to a ford dealership and their diagrams where the same but it did show there were different part numbers for the two different styles, so they couldn't work either. It says on SPD's website that the exhaust configuration changed somewhere in 2000. So, what to look for in the difference. Maybe a picture of a 99 y pipe and 01 y pipe would work?

I have a stock 2012 F250 6.7 Diesel. I was looking at getting new 18 or 20 inch rims for it and was wondering what the largest tire I could fit on those without rubbing on the truck would be. I know there are lots of topics on this but I could not find anything that applied to me. Most topics were on stock wheels.

I read in a thread about how fog lights need the auto light sensor or something in the kit to be installed and flashed.
My truck is a 2012 f250 XLT that I bought left over from a podunk town IN illinois. It does not have fog lights but it Does have automatic head lamps. So Im very confused on what kit to order to add fog lights to my truck.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Adding OEM Rear Overload Springs?
I would like to add rear overload leaves to my 2016 F250 that for some reason I didn't order with the camper prep package. From what my internet research tells me I will need to add the frame tabs and rubber bumpers, the overload leaves themselves, and of course longer U bolts.
My question is, in all of the pictures I can find, there in an intermediate spacer block between the regular leaf pack and the overload leaf. I can find a part number for this block ( 2C3Z-5594-AA ) only for 2002-2007 trucks. The parts diagrams I've seen online at various Ford sites don't list a part number for this block on current model trucks. Most just give a single part number for the whole leaf pack.
For 2014-2016 F250 with the camper package, or an F350 know what part numbers I might be looking for? Do the newer model year trucks still use an intermediate spacer block? Any chance someone with one of the aforementioned vehicles can post a picture of what the overload leaf setup looks like on a new(er) truck?
I would assume if you snap an overload leaf you can get a replacement from Ford, so why can't I find a part number for them either? I'm pretty sure I will have overloads built at a local spring shop anyway, but at least want to make sure I'm matching the correct and current factory setup.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2012 - Adding Remote Start?
I've got a 2012 XLT that I would like to add remote start to because I'm tired of getting into a truck that feels like a freaking oven.
From what I see on Ford's site, looks like this should work:

I would like to add a second backup camera to my 2016 F-350 Super Duty to assist when hooking up to my fifth wheel. It is a Crew Cab with the Factory Tonneau Cover so my view of the hitch is blocked. I would like to add the third brake light high mount camera and be able to toggle between my OEM/Tailgate Camera and the High Mount. I have found a couple that claim they will work but both require tapping into the main connector on the back of the display, but not quite sure how to open it up. Accessing the connector is not a problem, just getting it apart without breaking it is the question. The "Lockpick" system has not been tested/certified for the 2016 model.

Had the DEF 500 mile warning come on last week. Second time for this. First time early on when it was new. Put a 2 1/2 gal. container of Blue DEF then and all was well. This time I did the same thing but keep getting the 500 mile warning afterwards. Cancelled the warning a couple of times , and now I am getting a warning that I have 378 miles left on the DEF fluid remaining. Its like the truck didn't recognize me adding the 2 1/2 gal. Also the check eng. light is on now. Thinking thats related. 7,000 mile on truck

This has been beaten to death but all the old threads I read are for 2011 to present SDs so I wanted to make sure I can add these to my 2008 before I spend $ on the switches. Anything I should look out for on the install? Once they are installed I would like to add front and rear strobes along with a roof light for plowing.

I have a 2004 F250 and would like to have more light in front of me. I looked under the front to where the stock fog light would get mounted but I don't see any wire harness in that area. What is involved if I pick up a pair of replacement fog lights like the offer at LMC Truck. Would i need buy a harness? And what about a switch?
