    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...

    CDR Problems?

    So my rear main seal and valve covers started all leaking about the same time. I tightened down my valve covers, but now my main seal appears to leak worse than ever. Today I was thinking that maybe the CDR was somehow allowing pressure to build up and force oil past all the seals. I pulled...

    Chasing down broken cruise control

    Troubleshooting my cruise control and had a few questions. I don't think this has ever worked since I had my truck. Today, I went out, got up to 40mph, pushed "On", and then "Set". Nothing happened. I didn't get any sort of light when I pushed on. When you press "On" are you supposed to...

    Zombie Slayer: Champion Radiator Install

    This all started when I noticed my radiator cap was leaking. I replaced it, topped it up the fluid, and then went about my business thinking I had done something good. The next day I noticed antifreeze pouring down my driveway after the drive home from work. Disappointing, especially since I...

    6.9L Poor Compression?

    I have been looking for slant nose front clip and a 6.9L to rebuild. Well, I found a 1986 f250 4wd, for around a thousand, but the owner says it has poor compression. Should I steer clear, or would it still be a good candidate for rebuild? Thanks.

    Rebuild 7.3L or 6.9L?

    I just bought a 1989 f350 with a 7.3L IDI. According to the PO it has 223,000. So far it seems to run pretty well. I had intended on rebuilding a 6.9L on the side, adding a turbo, and then swapping it for the 7.3L. However, I am now wondering whether I should just rebuild the 7.3L that's in...
