    white smoke... almost all the time :(

    Just went through this with brother in laws '92. New injectors didn't help. New IP cured it.

    why do older F250's have a 300 I6

    I have to agree that Fords 300 was one of the best engines Ford ever produced. I've had 4 of them and am still amazed. I've pulled some pretty heavy loads with one. Not very fast mind you (gears), but it did pull it without question.

    IDI get together in the MidWest!!!

    Hell, sounds like a good time to me! If you can't decide on (or find) a location, I've got a shop building.

    I still haven't figured out what the hell an 'electric power hitch' is. :dunno i'm afraid to call this guy, I may forget everything I know about IDIs by the time I can hang up the phone!:rotflmao

    good deal but he's clueless

    Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with or any interest in the sale of this truck. I found it on a semi-local craigslistand had to scratch my head trying to figure it out. see for yourself. http://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/2066825983.html

    1.6 NA jetta missing under load

    anything past 1/4 throttle would bog. Anything past 3/4 throttle it would develop a 'slight' miss towrds the top of the hill. A glance in the rearview would reveal a thick black cloud.

    1.6 NA jetta missing under load

    My Golf was acting similarly. I backed my fuel screw off about 1/2 turn and now I can "race":rotflmao up the hills at full throttle. before I did that, I couldn't mash the skinny pedal more than 1/4 of the way down before it started bogging out.

    looking for a hotshot

    I thought I would give first crack at these loads here on OB. Keepin it in the 'Brotherhood' as it were. So here's the deal. Here in a few weeks (2-3) I am going to have several loads that need to be run from the NW Arkansas area to Denver. Obviously the weight of the load is going to depend on...

    Bolt pattern?

    flywheel? New question..... ok, I guess I probably should have used the SEARCH feature for the original question. I guess the reason nobody responded was probably because this issue has been beaten to death. so I have a new question for ya. Much more specific and I've already searched...

    GOOD DEAL?

    $1100 for an '85 in good condition is a steal. ( I think anyhow) Even if the front end needs a few parts it aint bad. Front suspension/steering parts are really not that expensive if you know where to look. I bought complete tie rod assemblies for $38 each. Forget autozone for Benz parts. they...

    Can you decipher this rear diff tag?

    Thanks guys. That was the kind of info I've come to expect around here. Yeah, I looked at the door tag and it told me that it was a 4.10 limited slip, but I was courious what everything else on the reardiff tag meant, as well as a little confused. I went to the site referred to here on OB oh...

    Can you decipher this rear diff tag?

    Hey all. I'm VERY seriously considering adding an '87 DRW/CC into my diesel fleet. I'm trying to make heads or tails out of whats in the rear so I know what I'm getting into. I just got back from a trip to KS yesterday to haul home another parts car and the fuel mileage in Smaug is just...
