    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Found these door latch striker bushings on Amazon. The ones on my truck (1989 F350) had long since disintegrated. Nice and quiet now.

    Zombie Slayer: New Fuel System

    I haven't been around in a while, but I'm hoping to tear into my truck this year and get my M101 trailer bed on. With my bed off I'm going to be redoing all the fuel system. My rear tank has rust in it, so I've got new MTS tanks poly tanks. Also, the pickup was broken on both so I'm going to...

    Low Frequency Vibration

    My daily driver needs repaired so I've been driving my truck quite a bit. I noticed about a month ago that if I applied a little gas off idle it would start making a vibrating noise. It has gotten worse so that now sitting at idle there is a low frequency vibration and noise and it is just...

    Tire balancing beads

    I've had Dyna beads in my 33" Goodyear Duratracs for a few years. I don't often get above 60mph, but it drives smooth.

    Bought one! Now to drive it 600 miles

    I second the shower head issue. When I drove my truck back from Texas (560 mi) it died on the highway an hour from home with 1/4 tank left. We were so close. I decided to switch tanks and crank away. Eventually it came back to life. So keep the fuel topped up. To aid in priming the fuel...

    What are you looking for? My tailpipe is black but it doesn't smoke when running so I always just figured it was fine.

    Glad you got it sorted. If you don't mind explaining, what did you use the screw and phillips for?

    Ign. switch slider bit on a tilt column removal

    I agree with snicklas the part is called an ignition actuator and you can get it at the local auto parts store for under $15. Not worth pulling a used one that may already be stressed. I replaced mine last winter and separated the two pieces by using a long punch and knocking out the pins from...

    7.3l idi fuel leak from filter

    You might double check that it isn't leaking from the connector on top of the filter and just dribbling down the sides. This is the fuel heater and is a known leak point. If it is really coming from between the filter and filter head, when you replace the filter check the filter head sealing...

    Making the slug comfortable

    FYI, mid 90s f150 regular cab with buckets has a flat metal subframe that bolts to the bench seat floor points. I think I got mine out of a 94.
