Full Floating Axle Flange Gaskets
For Dana 70 (and possibly several others as the axle flange can't be any larger than the center of a 8-on-6-1/2 wheel regardless of how big the rest of it may be):

The last several years, I have spent a lot of time in the cab of an F700.
Just recently, it dawned on me that it may very well be possible to employ that big long hood latch handle of the F700 on my F350.
The hoods look the same and the latch mechanism looks pretty much the same, save for that...
The exact same piece is found on 12 x 2, 12 x 2-1/2, and 12 x 3-inch Bendix drum brakes, on any and every SRW or DRW Dana axle, be it 60 or 70 and maybe even the 80s, be it Ford or Dodge or International or whatever.
This steel piece resides behind the park brake lever, on the same stud where...
Like the title says, 80w-90 or 85w-140 gear lube, which do you run and why ?
The book specifies 80w-90 GL5 (plus limited slip additive if a L/S)
I have found the price to be the same from most sources/brands, so cost should not be a factor.
Beginner's question I know ---, which rear axle does my truck have; 1985 2WD F-350 Diesel 4-speed DRW cab-n-chassis limited-slip Dana 70; is it a 70HD or a 70-2U ?
I see this all the time when I search for parts; I click off all of my particulars and still get results for both.
I am thinking...
Seal in question : 9864S
Some years ago, I bought several 9864S Chicago-Rawhide seals at a going-out-of-business sale at a price that no smart man would refuse.
I have several Dana 70 trucks around here and it just makes me feel better to have some on hand for various "I wish I had a new seal"...
My 1985 F-350 cab-n-chassis came factory-original with two tanks; a steel front tank and a plastic rear tank; although they specify 19.2-gallon (or thereabouts), either tank will hold twenty gallons.
The rear tank has a formed steel shroud around the tank's bottom that conforms to the shape of...
Hi Everybody.

What is the correct thread size and style of this fitting; it appears to be a standard flare fitting?

Last year, I installed a new condenser, new accumulator, new variable orifice valve, and all new o-rings.
I removed all lines and flushed them thoroughly; I flushed the evaporator.
I pulled a vacuum overnight and added new oil and R134a, which the system had been converted to several...
In my shiny new brake hardware/spring kit, there are two little 3/4" long 1/2" wide maybe 3/32" thick little "Cs" or "clips" or somesuch with a hair over 1/4" open sides; what are these and where do they go ??
I see nothing that resembles them, nor have I ever seen anything like them on any...
It seems this was discussed some years ago; however, I can't find it.
It is a common up-grade on the Dodge sites to replace the original 1" (bore) or 1-1/16" wheel-cylinders with the 1-3/16" GMC wheel-cylinders.
Whereas, the Ford and Dodge cylinders are LEFT and RIGHT specific, with the...
I am ordering new park-brake cables; my right-side one came loose; I don't yet know if the cable broke or if it came loose from the lever within the drum.
I have narrowed my choice down between two brands.
DORMAN cost just over $18 for both cables.
WAGNER are just over $28 for both...
Located under the hood, on the extreme right-side, close to the fire-wall, is a vacuum-operated plunger/solenoid that opens/closes a door when MAX or NORM A/C is selected.
I ?think? it closes off outside air in MAX A/C mode.
Anyway, the one on my truck had quit working; so, I simply...
My 1985 long-wheel-base F-350 chassis-cab has a two-piece drive-shaft with three universal joints and a carrier-bearing.
Way back when in un-molested factory-original configuration, for reasons un-be-knownst to me, both ends of the assembly had "hybrid" joints, with differing cup-sizes, and a...
Some months ago, there was a discussion about insulating the outside of the A/C box and someone posted pictures and a link to some wonderful shiny stuff.
Since then, I have suffered a computer crash and change-over to a new computer, thus losing all my saved goodies.
It would be...
Okay, it is my understanding that "NORM" A/C is drawing hot outside air from the cowl, through the evaporator, and then into the cab.
"MAX" A/C closes a vacuum-operated door and then re-circulates the in-cab air through the evaporator and back into the cab.
My question is --- from where...

On a stock 1985 diesel factory-A/C system with R134a conversion, 90* outside temperature, engine OFF, what should the equalized system pressure of a properly charged system be ??
Many thanks.
What experiences have anyone had with either antenna quick-disconnects or 90* fold-overs ??

Considering that I live in a very rural area, I have decided to try this antenna to give my radio as much reception help that I can.

Some years ago, a member posted about finding and using a product from LOWES or HOME DEPOT, a roofing product if I recall, that was identical to the drastically expensive DYNAMAT, at about 1/10 the cost.
