    US Gear Repair in North-Central Florida

    About a year or so ago, I read in a post that someone had a shop somewhere in North-Central Florida repair their US Gear box for them. I have searched and searched and have been unable to find that post. I will be in that area in a couple of weeks, and if the person who posted that info...

    Carrier Lift Pump Mounting Assistance

    I am preparing to make the transition to hydroboost brakes, and will most likely go the route of replacing the mechanical vacuum pump with an electrical one from a later model Super Duty. I have seen posts in the past on various topics that happen to include under-the-hood photos, some of...

    US Gear Surprise

    My US Gear overdrive recently stopped shifting and is stuck in direct mode. After reading the many posts about this drive, I purchased a replacement set of switches and a shifting motor. I pulled the side plate today expecting to find a bad set of switches, only to find no switches at all. The...

    Diehard Group 65 AGM On Sale

    Yesterday I found the Sears Diehard Group 65 Platinum AGM battery on sale @10% off, or $225.00. I know that a lot of folks have switched over to the Group 31 batteries, but for those that haven't, this is a good battery w/980 CCA. It's made for Sears by Odyssey, rebranded with the Diehard...

    3G Upgrade Question

    Finally installed my new 3G high-output alternator on my 92 F350 today. It works as advertised putting out lots of current at idle like never before. Only one small issue, the alternator warning light on the dash to the left of the steering wheel stays on all of the time now. I realize that I...

    Does anyone know where I might source an alternafor pulley for a '92 F350 7.3 with V-belt drive? I recently bought a high output alternator and it came with the serpentine pulley. I need the 2-V pulley. I want to maintain the other alternator as a spare. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Dead US Gear Control Module

    My US Gear overdrive stopped shifting not too long ago, and I was able to trace it to a dead control module. This control module is a model #59-8009 with three wires, one a 12 volt supply, one ground and the remaining wire going to the selector switch on my gear shift. Although there is 12...

    Optional High Output Alternator on 92 Diesel

    When I purchased my 92 F350 7.3, I ordered the ambulance package with the alternator upgrade. I believe that it had a 165 amp capacity. I have tried in vain to better identify this alternator, but I haven't been able to determine if this is 1G, 2G or 3G. Can anyone provide me with any...

    Diesel Mechanic in Durham, NC Area

    I am trying to change out my mechanical lift pump for a Facet Duralift pump, and have gone as far as prepping the wiring and the pump location (at least on a temporary basis until I see that the fuel hose installation won't force me to move it). I am currently residing in an RV park, and the...

    Fuel restoration?

    8 years ago, I filled the tanks on my 92 F-350 7.3 diesel, thinking then that the storage would only be for a few months or so. One thing led to another, and the storage time became much longer than expected due to work assignments outside of the US. I will be returning to the States next...

    Griffin Radiators

    I need to upgrade the cooling system on my truck, and during my research, it seemed as though the Griffen radiator was the best choice out there, at least until I saw all the praise for the Rodney Red radiators. Does anyone have any experience with the Griffin radiators, good or bad...

    New to the website

    I have been kicking around the idea of replacing my '91 F-350 crew, but really didn't want to do so as the truck is in great condition with only 70,000 miles as I work out of the country a lot. While trolling a bit looking at Ford diesel information, I came across this site and have new hope for...
