    Loud humming noise

    Well after a little investigating today I've found that the front axle components are overall in much worse condition than I thought. Guess I'll drop the money and just rebuild the whole thing. I can swap it into the new truck if I buy another f250 anyway. Thanks for the help fellas!

    Loud humming noise

    I got the truck back on the road last week after being down for awhile. I insulated the cab while I was putting in floor pans and now I'm noticing a new noise. From about 30 mph+ there is a very loud low pitched hum that sounds like aggressive M/T's going down the highway. The noise...

    Looking for tailgate ideas

    Ah... yours was the one I was thinking of, did you just pull the latch studs out of the bed and use those holes to catch your spring latches or is there more there than meets the eye? I appreciate the photos and advice everyone.

    Looking for tailgate ideas

    Thanks Brad, thought about using the factory latch and hardware but wasn't sure what all was involved in that, haven't actually seen the inside of one. I'll dig into it when it stops raining.

    Looking for tailgate ideas

    I've been working on building a headache rack for my truck for the past couple evenings and its almost done. It looks like I will have some 2" square tube and expanded metal left over, which got me thinking about building a tailgate to replace mine which is shot. I've seen some square tube...

    Would you honestly recommend a 6.5l for towing?

    Hopefully I can get some of the 6.5 gurus to respond here... I'm currently running a 7.3 IDI ford which is rusted beyond logical repair and am looking to get back into a chevy, ideally a 6.5TD, which it looks like it will most likely be a '96-00 to get the creature comforts my wife wants and the...

    Starting issue 7.3 NA

    Thanks guys, I have not been able to find any leaks and I was thinking maybe a fuel delivery issue from the lift pump on a cold start but what you're saying makes perfect sense. Looks like I have a leak to find!

    Starting issue 7.3 NA

    I searched and couldn't quite find my issue, so here goes... '93 F250 7.3 NA, 166k miles all stock. 9 times out of 10 when I start it for the first time of the day, it will start, then immediately stall. If I rev it up and hold it at around 2k for a few seconds it will usually stay running...

    93 7.3 idi slow cranking

    is it normal to have to plug these trucks in around 20 F or less? that still seems pretty warm to me and I've read of guys starting at 0 F without plugging in. If its normal then I can deal with it I just want to make sure nothing is wrong.

    93 7.3 idi slow cranking

    It was duralast junk from autozone, but the starter was replaced today and that came with a new solenoid as well. So I had the exact same issue with the factory starter(and az solenoid) and the brand new starter and solenoid. The cables look good and I cleaned most of the connections, they are...

    93 7.3 idi slow cranking

    thanks for the welcome, i think i will be spending alot of time on here. The truck did not start this morning, it may start if i keep cranking but i was afraid of overheating my new starter. I guess I will run out and crank it up and see if it will actually start.

    93 7.3 idi slow cranking

    Hey all, this is my first post here but I've been reading the forums for awhile now. I recently bought a 93 F250 7.3 and have been having issues with it. I did search but could not find what I needed. Originally it would not start cold, 2 new batteries, new GP's and GPC took care of that...
