    bed supports

    97 OBS failed safety inspection.... radiator support (on order from LMC truck) and bed supports rotted away. Are there any sources for the bed supports, or dimensional steel that I can weld in? One of the supports has a hole in it and needs to be replaced/patched. Thanks.

    fuel bowl to head lines

    something odd today went to replace the o-rings on the two lines going from the fuel bowl to the heads. When i took them off at the fuel bowl ZERO fuel leaked out. How could this be? I was expecting fuel to be sitting in the lines. This is on my 99 which is always louder than my 97. Now it...

    97 PSD map sensor

    Truck seems to lack power. "slow" to build boost in my opinion to what I am used to. Checked all of the usual things (ICP, fuel pressure, up pipes, charge hoses, TPS, etc) and I've come across odd map readings. I have a boost gauge tee'd into the MAP line going from the intake runner. With...

    fuel stem check valve....remove that junk!

    So my 99 with 260k miles on it has occasionally had a loud injector (or two) coinciding with "choppy" acceleration. Fuel pressure was spot on under load (measured at the fuel bowl), UVCH good, injector buzz test passed, etc. Turns out the "idiot proof" check valve in the fuel bowl stem was...

    no brakes

    99 F250 PSD with hydroboost. Brake pedal goes to the floor with no resistance.....brakes work very little at the bottom of the travel (at the floor). No fluid leaks....Master cylinder or ? Power steering works fine whether on the brakes or not.

    tried seafoam....good stuff

    So my 99 has 258k on the original injectors. Lately there has been an injector or two not firing smoothly (very evident when listening to the engine). Gave it a shot of archoil at the last oil change and that cleaned up the oil side. Tried seafoam for the fuel side....almost a full can in the...

    OBS powerstroke value

    Probably going to sell our 97 F250 4x4 crew cab with 208k miles on it. Located in SEPA. Mechanically flawless, body has expected rust areas for being 22 years old. Could possibly be the last 7.3 put in an OBS because it was built 12/97. New brakes/tires/inspection through 11/2020 Thoughts on...

    flex plate removal - how to hold crank?

    Got the transmission/t-case away from the flex plate enough to start removal of the bolts. What's the best way to hold the crank stationary while I back off the bolts?

    TC, flex plate, transmission?

    This is on my 97 PSD Started out with a grinding noise only in P R D 2 or 1. No noise in neutral. Now I've got a horribly loud grinding noise in all gears, so loud that I am thinking it is eternal to the transmission or torque converter. So I am thinking flex plate? The truck drives and...

    TC, flex plate, transmission?

    Truck is making a grinding sound in the transmission in every gear except for neutral. This leads me to believe the TC is on its way out. Any suggestions for a replacement? I do very little towing and the truck is more of a daily driver. Thanks.

    quick disconnect leaking

    97 OBS powerstroke, leaking at the "quick disconnect" fuel line fittings below the PS pump on the drivers side. Haven't investigated further but wondering if I can replace with rubber diesel rated fuel line and clamps?

    unusual clutch issue

    So about 20k miles ago, right before I bought my truck the clutch, flywheel, fork, hydraulics, etc where replaced at a ford dealership by the original owner. Within the last 10k miles or so, the clutch has gotten "grabby" to where it will shake the truck when engaging from idle. Adding throttle...

    Brake parts

    I normally install motorcraft parts but it looks like the brake components are NLA for my 97...going to do everything on the front and rear brakes. What is a good source for quality brake parts? I do not want Chinese junk on my truck. Thanks.

    OBS power steering line torque

    Blew the pressure line on my power steering, looks like the fittings are very low torque and the line at the pump should swivel a little bit when installed? I tightened down just beyond finger tight with a wrench on both fittings and no leaks....leave as is?

    ABS grease

    greasing the wheel bearings through the ABS hole ? I've read about this and may give it a try. Has anyone else done this to extend the life of the hubs? My front right hub sounds "dry" (not damaged, no play)

    new hydraulics - noisy ?

    replaced the crappy plastic slave/master assembly that ford decided was a good idea with PERFECTION CLUTCH PF9021 since it is made with an aluminum slave and master cylinder. Now I get a noise in the truck that is tuned to the rpm of the engine when engaging the clutch. No noise when clutch to...

    new oil cooler assembly - source ?

    Is there a source for purchasing an entire oil cooler assembly ready to bolt onto the truck ? Tired of rebuilding this thing only to have it leak when it gets cold. Yes I have used OEM gaskets each time.

    a/c vent discharge temps

    Just a general question, what is everyone seeing for discharge temps with A/C on max cool? I'm not interested in going into gas pressures. I've got: Ambient: 90F Center vents: 34F Outside vents: 42F This sounds about perfect to me.

    PCM ?

    backstory is I swapped a PCM from a 2000 auto truck into my E99 with the zf6. Unbelievable how much better the truck runs with the newer PCM coding. I am running a hydra chip with programming for the DAC3 calibration. The only "quirk" that I have noticed is this. With the old PCM, in gear...
