    Lift pump thread size

    The previous owner cut the steel fuel line between the lift pump and the fuel filter and spliced it together with rubber fuel hose. Since there are no barbs on the steel lines these connections leak. I would like to replace with rubber fuel hose and barbed hose fitting. Does anyone know what...

    C6 vacuum modulator color

    Which color is for the 6.9? Not sure it matters if they are adjustable, my understanding is the different colors just get you close to where it should be. I've seen people say green for diesel and black for diesel. Help!

    Glow plugs hot weather

    A couple years ago and about ten thousand miles ago I replaced all glow plugs and glow plug controller. They work perfect most of the time, the truck fires right up on the first crank even when cold; down in the 20's or teen's. When it is hot; 90's or above and the truck is in the sun the glow...

    Truck died this morning.

    My 87 F-350 died this morning. I got in to go to work and it started right away like usual, as soon as it fired up the engine surged and it died. It wouldn't fire after that. Any guesses what it could be? I didn't have time to trouble shoot the issue, I had to get to work. The fuel system...

    Clutch Problem

    My 87 F350 with a ZF-5 starting making noises yesterday every time I push the clutch in. It's a metal grinding noise. It runs fine with no noises going down the road. You push the clutch in just a little and it starts grinding. Any ideas before I dig into it?

    C6 or E40d in 89

    If I remember correctly Ford started offering the E4OD in 89 as an option and 90 as standard, is this correct? What would your guess be as to what transmission would be in this 89. I just talked to the owner and he didn't know. I didn't ask him if it had the OD button on the dash. I was...

    ABS Light On

    Having problems diagnosing this issue. I recently replaced my master cylinder which took care of my original problem but after replacing it the ABS light came on and I can't get it to go out. Almost everything is new in the brake system; I've recently replaced rear shoes, drums and cylinders...

    Clutch pedal lever assembly

    Does anyone know where I can get a new clutch pedal lever assembly. I just replaced my clutch master and slave cylinder along with push rod and bushing but there isn't much left of the piece the bushing fits over. I'm afraid it will eventually break off.

    Electrical issue

    I need help. My battery went dead last week and I replaced it with a new one. When I went to start it my starter stayed engaged and when I shut it off my starter kept spinning, I had to unhook the battery. I replaced the starter and it seem to be doing the same thing. When I go to hook up...

    Glow plug question

    My truck is starting hard after sitting over night with temps in the high 60's but even if it has been sitting for hours it fires right up when sitting in the sun and 90 degree weather. Something is obviously wrong. I replaced all of the glow plugs a few months ago and they all still test...

    Injectors and return lines

    I'm going to replace my injectors and return lines. The IP is fairly new so I'm not going to mess with it more than I already have. The previous owner had it turned up too far, I adjusted it back down and it is running better and not smoking like it was. Where is the best place to purchase...
