    I don't believe there should be any voltage except when using the button Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7.3 oil cooler problem

    Is the oil getting in the coolant? If so, the 2 orings at each end of the cooler separate the oil and coolant passages. With age, the orings harden and lose the sealing capability. Since oil pressure is higher than coolant pressure, oil will bleed into coolant but not vice versa Sent from my...

    7.3 oil cooler problem

    Sorry about that. What icanfixall said. Some have used a vice to hold the cooler and a piece of 2x4 with a hammer to knock the headers off. Make sure the cooler and header mating surfaces are free of any burrs before installing the new orings. My personal preference is to use a hydraulic press...

    Rear shocks

    I tow up to roughly 12k with monroematic shocks on the f250 2wd. On the f350 4wd, it has seen almost 20k with gas magnums. No problems with either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear shocks

    It depends on what you use the truck for. If you tow a lot, I use Monroe gas magnum heavy duty shocks. For my run around truck, I use the monroematic shocks, as they don't bounce you a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need advice

    First off, sorry for the delay. Secondly, all pushrods are clean. I am starting to wonder if I wouldn't be better off putting the motor out of Ol Blue in it and be done.

    Need advice

    I purchased a 92' cclb f350 7.3 5speed 4x4 back in march, and have been slowly getting it in good running condition(batteries, rebuilt the oil cooler, a few other minor things). I oulled the valve cover off, just to check it over, and it is not getting any oil to the roker arms. Any ideas...

    What do you see?

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    DEF will crystallize when mixed with diesel. That is one of the main reasons the repair is really expensive on vehicles that have been mixed. Also, FYI, it is just under $12,000 to have a 6.7L Ford fixed when you do that. That consists of all new inector lines, injectors, high pressure pump...

    Black smoke

    Well, finally took my truck to work. IP timing was way out. Set it to 9.3 degrees( i think), and it idles way better. Now i have to turn the pump back up. The black smoke is gone, so is the little knocking sound, and i'll find out in the morning if it starts without all the white smoke. Thanks...

    Black smoke

    I used only Ford parts, clamps included. Since I work for Ford, I try to use as many oem parts as I can. I turned it towards the firewall. I've had my share of those "pantload" moments before. As for EGT's, I have no clue. A pyro is on my shopping list of things to do before I put it on the road.
