    Wheel Bearings

    OK, yet another possibly dumb question........... I found an 08 F350 front axle last night that I can pick up cheap from a buddy...... Does anyone know if the wheel bearings/hubs/rotors off this axle will bolt onto the early 99 axle?

    "Very rare" "Carburated Diesel"

    The add for my 99 said something like "99 F-350, 7.3L Supercharged Diesel"........... I truly think this is why I got such a good deal for mine, he didn't have a clue what he had! He just knew the fuel was costing him a lot more money than his little BMW 325.........

    Wheel Bearings

    So, basically, all I need to acquire is a set of rotors, pads and wheel bearings for a 99? Do I need to worry about replacing the 4x4 hubs? Does anyone make a good lock out hub for this style front axle? Will the tone ring work with the 99's ABS system or do I need to change something else...

    converter exhaust question 02 f350

    If you have to have emission inspections in your state (regardless if they hook a sniffer up or not) and you are missing factory installed emissions devices, you WILL get fined and your vehicle will fail (at minimun) the visual inspection and you will probably have to replace it in order to get...

    Which powerstroke is better for haulling

    I am a fleet manager for a government agency, we have several 6.0's a couple 7.3's and my company daily driver is a 6.4. The 6.0's are fairly reliable with a few problems here and there. The 7.3's aren't as powerful, but COMPLETELY reliable. The 6.4 is an absolute MONSTER but it has...

    Steering upgrades

    Sorry, should have been more precise with my problems,,,,,,, Steering feels like a broken belt in one of the front tires at slow speeds:bail:bail (maybe ball joints or ties rods) smooths out above 15-20 mph. Clunk is when I cross over bumpy surfaces, I am leaning towards the dogbones but...

    Steering upgrades

    OH, I already checked, the tires are good. The had about 95 PSI in them when I bought the truck though. I dropped the pressure to 55 PSI when I rotated them (thats when I checked the tires for a broken belt).
