    Oil Pump? 7.3 PS 1995

    Thank you all! I do not post on here often but I know I can always count on everyone to help when I do. I bought this truck 10 years ago, it had sat unused for a couple of years. It is not pretty, needs a paint job and got a new transmission 2 years ago but I love it. We are close to 360,000 and...

    Oil Pump? 7.3 PS 1995

    I kind of figured the gauge was likely not reading accurately. I will look at getting a Mechanical gauge.

    Oil Pump? 7.3 PS 1995

    Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to determine if my oil pump is functioning properly? We leave on the 31 to haul about 2 hours away to a horse show. I noticed gauge is reading lower than it always has but still on the N in normal. Dipstick shows plenty of oil. Normal Diesel Mechanic...

    Air Conditioner

    I just tried to add and the gauge on the can says it is full. I am afraid to overfill. I know it has a leak, this has been my way of getting around dumping the big $ in it and so far each year it has worked.

    7.3 ps power issue

    It drives better when check engine light goes off. Acts like loss of power when light comes on. It will be a week or two before I can check/ change icp.

    Air Filter Modification and battery light

    Thanks! I plan to do this over the weekend, and yes my alternator croaked, got it replaced, waiting for the next issue to crop up. Hoping I can find and easily fix the vaccuum leak on our 98 explorer before something else happens :rolleyes:

    Air Filter Modification and battery light

    I saw a mod using a piece of pvc pipe to connect the filter to existing hose, is there a better way? I assume the pvc way is less expensive.

    Air Filter Modification and battery light

    I plan to modifiy the air filter to the BHAF , doing some searches, I found that most, remove the orgional filter holder, adapt the BHAF and just set it in place. Opinions? Also, I drove almost 200 miles round trip yesterday to pick up a load of hay. This morning my battery light was on and...

    95 PSD - Possible Turbo Noise

    I would rather him check it for a few more $$ while he is there than have another issue later. He did check underneath real well and everything else, except the bushing at the I-beam looks good. Get this done and hopefully another month or two get the fuel leak fixed. My Dad is ordering me the...
