    Different Oil Filter (read)

    As best as I recall, the longer PSD filter got really close to the ttb pumpkin/yoke on the 90 F250 I tried. Plenty room with F350 4x4.

    To penetrate or not to penetrate.

    IME, mechanical damage is usually already done, and you won't unstick anything with penetrating oil anyway. Penetrating oil may help if cylinders/rings have seen some moisture and its a "light" stuck.

    To penetrate or not to penetrate.

    Imho, you've got nothing to lose trying. You might get lucky.

    Different Oil Filter (read)

    I get most of my oil/fuel filters from rockauto. I find theres often clearance deals on some lesser-known brand... then a little googling reveals its made by a major mfr in the usa or europe anyway.

    any known steering querks for '89 F-350

    2wd or 4wd? If the pump if sucking air, or lost prime, the foam build-up can push the cap off. Is the vibration related to road speed? Steering links (drag link and tie rods) need to be free of play, and greased regularly. Worn ones affect your wheel alignment and cause uneven tire wear and...

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    Ok, just checkin. I had a longwinded troubleshooting runaround with my '97 E350 some years ago. Changed and tested many things, but finally a used hpop and new ipr together made all the difference to get past hard-starting.

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    Injection pressure regulator? (IPR) Often gets missed in the electronics.

    Track bar bushing

    A new bar may be the exact same length. Measure carefully before you commit. Something has probably changed/shifted in your truck.

    is it possible to change only these rubbers?

    Google: "tie rod end" boot Lots of options. Its a dumb thing to fail you on because they are mostly cosmetic. Grease more frequently to keep dirt and grit out.

    Track bar bushing

    You may have to put the truck on its own weight for the holes to line up. Edit: I have cut/sleeved/welded a trac bar before, to deal with lift. Unless your change suspension like underwear, no need for it to be adjustable.

    Afe air filter good/bad?

    They don't show my 89-93 dodge one either anymore. I did buy from them... a few years ago.

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    Inside the cab is probably a better overall environment for longevity than under the hood. When I had my F350, I did consider having a dash mounted knob/dial, on a double throw switch. That way you could have manual 'throttle' control as needed.

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    I think Chevy did this with the later years of the 6.5TD. The potentiometer is engine mounted.

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    What mechanical thing on the engine will you actuate with the cable? The sensors are not optional. If failure is the fear, I suggest packing a spare pedal, or the potentiometer within. Maybe a spare cps and icp also.

    Afe air filter good/bad?

    I have one for my 1stgen. Rather have one I can clean and re-use for $80-100 than $40 throwaway paper filters.

    1994 idit dana 61

    3.33 10.25" sterling was apparently used in some of those 7-lug F250's from 97-03(?) There is the 3.07 Dana 70 from dodges that had the cummins and 727 auto. Those have a VSS.

    1994 idit dana 61

    The E4OD suffers a breakdown without the speedo input. Should be ok with a manual trans.

    1994 idit dana 61

    I reckon you could fit a tone ring and speed sensor from a later Dana 60 (E250/350 or Dodge). I've seen similar done before. This one is welded https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/ford-8-8-rearend-durability-and-strength.554469/page-2?post_id=6543038&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-6543038 Have...

    DRW to SRW Pros cons discussion

    Fwiw, the width of the axle and tire sturdiness/capacity plays a part on stability. I went to #3860 tires first, then to a 5" wider axle; considerably more stable than stock, while staying SRW. Stock dually axles tend to have stronger axle tubes, and possibly bigger hub bearings.

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    The HEUI injection can become a nightmare as they get on in life. Not simply electrical know-how will get you by. I unloaded both my PSDs after the one went down this path.

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    The powersroke is going to be a headache. You'd need all the computer/wiring stuff from the excursion - probably best with transmission also. Then you need the E-series specific parts for the powerstroke.... Radiator, oil cooler, gosh knows what else. I think a better strategy is to keep the...

    '89 F350 - ABS junk system and safety inspections

    Falsified gvwr? Thats weird. We always have the choice to license gvw below the mfr gvwr, so long as it's no less than 1.5x the curb weight. ABS is a weird one to get caught on... How are they testing it for function? Isn't it one of those passive items that is assumed to be working so long as...

    DRW to SRW Pros cons discussion

    Since it is a flat deck, keep the dually diff and run SRW wheels. My E350 cutaway van was like that, factory.

    Sterling 10.25 oil leak

    I would re-use the bearing unless its shot. If one is bad, I'd renew both at the same time.
