    Duralift pump failure...? Its the ooze..

    Installed a Duralift from GenLightning back in Nov 2013. Had no issues at all with daily driving. Truck remained parked in my warehouse from July 2014 until yesterday (Mid August 2015). Aside from having to give her a little jump to get fired, everything seemed normal. I ended up running...

    Dreaded headlight switch color codes?

    My GoogleFu, on this topic, seems weak, and I cannot find the information I seek. ;) Basically, anybody have a simple list as to what colors are connected to what with regards to the headlight switch? I've got one thats partially melted out of its insulation, and I'd like to know where it...

    HVAC blower issue

    A couple months back, the blower decided to take a vacation. Now that its colder, I kinda need more heat than simply driving with the fresh air door open can provide. Fuse is good. Connection at the fan is clean. Using...

    Injector Return Kit, 1990 non-turbo, with pics!

    *Moderators Note: Thanks to RavenTBK for a nice run down on how to replace your aging return lines. This author's presentation presents a popular way to do this process.* Here is a quick rundown, how-to, directions, whatever you want to call it about doing your own injector return...

    Quick stupid return line question

    Planning on getting started with my return line R&R today. My kit arrived from Russ, and has a large sealed sack that contains everything and another smaller sack with more o-rings and olives. Just wanted to confirm, the smaller sacks contents are what I want to use (Viton vs rubber)...

    Bah. Time for a return line kit... redneck engineering 101.

    Drove down to my local NAPA to pick up some vinyl tubing to do a clear line test to see where my intrusion originates from. I come out, pop off the line at the filter check valve, and it simply pulls free. WTF?!? Turns out the barb where it connects to #1 injector was split, and the wiggle...

    Fuel diagram?

    Anybody have a diagram or maybe a annotated photo of the route that the fuel takes (or is supposed to take) around the engine compartment? Over the last couple days there has been a serious air intrusion issue, not 100% sure on the source, so I am just going to redo everything piece by piece...

    Bigfoot broke the clutch!

    Yeah, as amusing as that sounds, its true. I swear. Going into a corner, I clutched in to drop into 3rd. I heard a loud SNAP, accompanied by a jolt in my steering wheel. Knew something was wrong, but didnt know what it was until I came up to the next red light. No clutch, along with...

    Is my IP on its way to retirement?

    Not really sure how to troubleshoot, as I only notice this behind the wheel, at cruising speed, under load....and on top of that, it occurs only occasionally, usually after running for some time. At first it sounded like rollover noise, which led me to check then drain+fill the ZF with some...

    Can you help me "get to know" my truck better?

    Wanting to "get to know" my truck a little better. I've found bits and pieces through my searchings around the interwebz...but not everything. I am mainly interested in the line of details across the bottom: Type, Body, Trans, Axle, Tape (WTF is tape?), and Springs; as well as the original...

    Slave cyninder install trick?

    Slave cylinder install trick? So, is there any kind of "trick" that I am overlooking to install the external slave cylinder with its stupid retaining clip? I've installed the new master, hooked up the line to both master and slave, pressure bleed from the bottom up to fill the master, but...

    Clutch master & slave gripes

    Seriously Ford? Who in the holy hell thought it was a great idea to use roll pins to retain the stupid hose between the master and slave. This now ranks as the stupidest thing I have ever run into on repairing any of the family cars. Even beyond the random torx bit on front calipers that GM...

    Occasional hydro lock? Huh?

    Had this truck a couple of months, but has developed an intermittent issue twice in the past two week that I have no idea of its cause. Short version: after sitting parked for the day, go to fire it up, and after maybe one revolution, the engine would suddenly stop. Releasing the starter...

    DRW inner spring clearance

    Anybody able to take a quick measurement of their inner wheel to springpack clearance? I finally got around to removing a tire, to see if these dually rims fit and properly clear. Truck was supposed to be originally DRW, but was switched to SRW during its tenure with the local municipality...

    Lug wrench size?

    Stupid question I know, but I have a good excuse. I just bought the truck last week. All my searching has brought up threads regarding stud thread size and not the overall size of the nuts. Basically, I just need to know what size socket I need to put on these lugs to be able to take a tire...
