    7.3 l oil capacity

    I have a 1990 f350 7.3 and amazon.com says the fl1995 filter doesn't fit? It's calling for the fl784

    Headlight Bulb burned through the housing???

    Noticed my headlight was out so I start checking it out. Looks like the socket the bulb connects in came loose and the bulb melted a path through the lamp housing. Is this only because the hot bulb was not seated correctly and was touching plastic or something else too?

    1990 f350 7.3 Trailer light adapter??

    Thanks. I saw a youtube video about that and it was my next option. I wound up taking the connector off and just wiring in a 4 flat. There was only 4 out of 5 pins wired anyway so the 6 round to 4 flat they sell in stores would've worked if the stock connector wasn't corroded.

    1990 f350 7.3 Trailer light adapter??

    My truck is a 6 pin round with one outer pin missing. So it is 4 outer pins and the middle pin. Trying to convert to 4 flat and can only find adpaters with 4 outside pins no middle..

    Glad you posted that because the Ford dealer told me to use Mercon V. That might be whats in there now. Just bought the truck. I think the trans is 4 speed with overdrive, I'll figure it out. Thanks

    Who here runs a fuel additive?

    That sounds like a good idea to me. I have a 1990 7.3 so I'm not sure if it's the same as your 6.9 but does the fuel filter just unscrew like an oil filter? Can't seem to find a straight answer. Can you give me some instructions on changing it if it is more than just unscrewing? This is my first...

    Who here runs a fuel additive?

    So maybe put in the bottle at like 1/8 tank and run it close to out would be better than adding it to a full tank?

    Liqui Moly Diesel Purge I read good reviews about the diesel purge but do not want to run it directly at this time. Everyone says you can add it to the tank and so does the back of the can. Liqui Moly customer service told me not to do that though, just hoping to get a few opinions before I do...
