    Rats!

    Ok, not a rat, but it sounds like it. LOL My belt jumped off. I replaced the tensioner. It was cracked, so yeah it actually needed it. Didn't replace the belt, because the belt has less than 10k miles on it. With the tensioner replaced, new idler pulley, etc... I am now hearing a squeak...

    wildfire

    Wildfire headed straight for me. Prayers please. I don't have time to discuss... Getting ready to evacuate. DARK! Raining burned pine needles like a rainstorm. Gotta go!

    Stranded

    Went to town on sunday. On the way home, I ran out of gas. Or did I? Yes, I did. Or did I? Yes, I did. Or did I? Yes I did...... I hope you get the picture. I "ran out of gas", (and yes, I know it's diesel, and I had better NOT have gas in there. Bite me. LOL) 6 times. Fiddled with the fuel...

    Hey Bart! (Smoke on startup.)

    What other cause could there be? Here's my experience... It was obvious I needed to replace my injectors. Uneven running was one symptom. Hard lope from the injectors unevenly applying. And it was getting worse. To the point where it almost seemed like some cylinders were battling each other...

    Problem in wiring on truck, for trailer connection.

    Just to get this thread rolling, I am going to describe the problem I am having... Later, I will do a test using a light probe, to find out what is actually happening inside the connector that is on the truck. Hopefully if I describe the problem, someone else has had this problem, and will...

    92 dash stuff

    Coming home on sunday, I saw a small curl of smoke creep up from my dashboard. Not a lot of smoke. Just a bit. And only barely detectable as electric in nature. Today, I removed the dash, to see if I could find the culprit that released the magic smoke. Don't want to end up stranded on the...

    Timing. What I did. And a question.

    I recently replaced the injectors. Also did the new fuel filter, filled with ATF thing. Now, right off the bat, it ran smoother. I think the old injectors were badly out of time with each other. (Different pop values.) But it smokes like a banshee, on startup. White smoke. Keeps smoking for a...

    Mudflaps

    Mods, if this should be in a different section, please feel free to move it. The tread lugs on my new tires are picking up a LOT of rocks on my gravel road. And then are throwing them all over the place when I am going down the road. Thinking it would be a good idea to get a set of mudflaps...

    Cool channels cool trucks.

    This one is not strictly a 'trucks' channel. But this guy is a humble, salt of the earth kind of guy. I've been watching this channel for a while now. And in this video, he introduces us to another guy, who has just started a channel. This new channel IS about trucks. (Looks like mostly old...

    After changing injectors

    What are the biggest differences that you guys have seen after you have changed your injectors? My injectors are tired. Engine is loping. It seems that is probably because the injectors are not popping all at the same pressure any more. I replaced the fuel filter. Filled the new one with ATF...

    Quick tip for those who have bypassed their glow plug relay

    If you have bypassed the relay, and you hold down the button for however long you want the GPs to cycle... Open the truck door. Count the 'dings' that the little alarm makes. Those seem to be about a second each. Regardless of how they are timed, just decide on a number of dings, and let that...

    Getting harder to start. Slow cranks then faster cranks.

    My truck has been getting harder and harder to start. This morning, worst of all. When I first turned the key, it almost didn't turn over at all. Finally turned over. Really sounded like some grinding going on in the engine. The second turn over was slightly better. Several turnovers were like...

    Synthetic oil as fuel?

    I changed the oil in the front diff. It's normal 80-90 weight stuff. Saved the old oil. I'll let it settle. Then I'll use it as clean as I can, to add to the fuel tank a bit at a time, just to add some lubricity. I'm about to change the oil in the rear now. It is synthetic. I am wondering...

    Headlight focus

    A while back, I put new headlight housings in my truck. I am positive I did everything right. Got some of the brightest "normal" headlight bulbs and installed them. Also switched the headlights from running directly off the switch, to running off of relays, that are switched by the switch...

    Windshield sealant

    I don't know if this should have been posted somewhere else. If it should have, please feel free to move it. My windshield leaks at the top. A couple years ago, I just laid gorilla tape over top of the trim. Even though it was cold and wet, when I applied the tape, it actually sealed, and...

    Fuel tank filler neck hose removal.

    1st of all, is there any reason NOT to remove the little hose that is inside the filler neck? I could see maybe too much backwash, or something. But I have never had problems with filler necks on older vehicles that never had that extra hose inside... 2nd... Has anyone ever removed ALL of that...

    1992 rear axle

    Tomorrow, I am going to take my rear axle apart as far as I can without any special tools. Just the driver's side. I want to have a look at what I am dealing with, before I begin to gather parts. And that is also the reason for this thread. I need advice. I believe it is a 10.25 rear end. Not...

    RABS valve bypass. A completely different take.

    Everyone has their favorite method of bypassing the rabs valve. Plenty of pics and explanation available here, too. I am going to suggest that you use the valve itself to bypass the valve. And no, I don't mean what everyone on the net suggests, by taking out that spring. You'll see in a...

    Spindle questions

    92 f250 4x4 Here is a quick video I just made. On the drivers side I can't even get the screwdriver all the way between the bearing and the spindle nut. On the passenger side there is a LOT of room. Enought to almost turn the screwdriver completely sideways. The driver's side inner spindle...

    What all runs on vacuum?

    92 NA. Can anyone tell me what are all the things that are supposed to run on vacuum on this thing? I think I have a vacuum leak, and I want to eliminate as much as possible from that system.

    Solid rear brake line.

    I need a part number for the solid rear brake line that goes to the passenger side, on the rear axle. 1992 F250. Mine is squirting out a solid squirt every time the brake pedal is pushed.

    Road draft tube

    I made that change a couple years ago. Stuck a pipe in the intake, stuck a hose on that, and hung the hose down the back of the engine. There's so much blowby after she has been run to town, that it sometimes looks like the truck is on fire. I get dirty looks, I get alarmed looks, I smell the...

    Recommendations for AC coolant.

    Who here has used one of those cans of coolant that you can buy at the auto parts place, to top up the coolant on their AC? How did that go for you? Recommendations for what one to use? How to use it? Etc... Is it worth it to buy the more expensive ones? Or is the cheap one good enough...
