    Changing coolant question

    Thanks for the bleed tip. That makes sense. Hope I didn't fry the water pump seal running it dry. Will add the rest in the morn.

    Changing coolant question

    Hi all, I drained out my coolant today - about 6 gallons. Got 3 gallons back in and then it seemed full. I assume it might be related to the thermostat being closed. Ran it for about 4 minutes then shut it down. Took off the cap and pressurized coolant came out. What am I missing here...

    Front shock interchange / safe removal at the JY ?

    Yup, Regals. Nice bunch there. Went to Michaels next door a few days ago. Found a few good parts. I didn't think about looking on Chevys for shocks.

    Front shock interchange / safe removal at the JY ?

    In my travels to local junk yards, I'm keeping my eyes open for a nice set of front shocks. Maybe a pair that were replaced just before the truck was wrecked. Which year front shocks will interchange with my 88 F250 4x4 (dana44HD TTB)? What's the best way to remove them at the JY...

    Panic Stop & Loss of Brakes

    I've worked on many RABS valves in the lab (20 yrs ago). A quick test you can perform with minimal tear up to your vehicle is the following: 1. On the end of the RABS valve opposite the wire pig tail is a large hex endplug. Remove it and you'll see a spring and below that a piston. 2...

    Fixing my fuel filter leak

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm with you on whether or not the heater is really needed. It started ok for me this winter (very mild) without fuel or block heaters. That said, if I can maintain the function, might as well do it. Although I have a 7.3 IDI, I picked up a fuel...

    Fixing my fuel filter leak

    Hi all, First post and thanks in advance for any input. The PO used epoxy to seal the small oring leak path in my fuel heating element. Now it leaks and I can't separate the metal plate from the plastic frame that holds it. I posted in the Market section looking for a good heating...

    WTB - '88 F250 IDI fuel heating element with plastic frame

    Thanks Jimbob - I'll do that. The reason I can't rework it is because the PO filled the plastic terminal tower with epoxy (which now leaks). I can't separate the metal heating element from the plastic frame to replace the oring in between them. I'd like to keep the heating fucntion if...

    WTB - '88 F250 IDI fuel heating element with plastic frame

    Hi, 1988 F250 IDI fuel heating element (metal plate with plastic frame). Mine leaks and has been epoxied together so I can't re-seal it. Ok if yours needs orings. Will take the entire fuel filter manifold with heater installed if you have it. Thanks, John.
