    which to keep, ball joint 60 or kingpin?

    Ok, here we go. We used good quality parts and the problem continued. Even tried removing the pressure valve at the M/C at the rear wheel port to get more rear brake. Didn't help, so we went to the GM stuff. It was a lot of work and expense. This was done about 10 years ago to a 1988 and 2...

    which to keep, ball joint 60 or kingpin?

    With king pin style you can swap to GM knuckles, calipers, and rotors. The GM rotors are thicker and do not warp like the Ford rotors, the pads last better and the truck stops better. Also swap to the GM rear end with 13x3.5 drums at the same time. Have done this swap 3 times, these trucks stop...

    Lincoln Mark 8 Electric Fan

    If ya search Summit or Jegs there are variable speed fan controls. I think they start the fan at 60% then ramp up from there. This would reduce the start up spike, but won't reduce the running amps. I set up my 2 speed taurus fans with relays so the fans have to be running on low before they...

    Speedometer - How it works and how to fix?

    Since the odo is close I would pull the speedo and take it apart. Lube the brass pin inside the bell and clean out the bell. You've got nothing to lose. Speedo's from 80 thur 86 will work. They are't that hard to find around here with a trip meter in em. Get the whole cluster with the diesel...

    Cold air intake-- done finally.

    Russ I like you scoop. I looked for one for a long time but came up empty. What I wound up with was a scoop off a LN series diesel. It looks like the same scoop but have not had it side by side with a F series. By the way it's still sit'n in the shop:dunno. Steve

    are 89 and 92 steering shafts interchangable?

    The rag joint at the bottom of the steering shaft in my 85 was worn so I pulled one out of a 94 and it fit with no problem. Nice and tight.This is a good upgrade for the 86 and earlier trucks, you get the Ujoint at the column and the better joint at the box. $15 at PAP vs $275 was not a hard...

    Extended Cranking ?

    My 90 became hard to start about 6 months ago (pump had less than 35,000, new caps, O rings, and injectors, and did the filter head at the same time). The starter was about 4 years old but did not sound like it was turning slow. I took a shot and replaced the starter. What a rpm difference...

    Fuel system revamp...

    That looks like a one way check valve. Ford used them on the injected gas trucks so they didn't have a tank switch valve ( turn on front pump or rear pump with no valve). Ask me how I found that out. Steve
