    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.

    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.

    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.
