Water separator cleanout and test
After draining the water separator and then playing the "bleed the fuel system every time you start" game on our last camping trip its time to pull out the water separater from the truck. No shortage of muck inside it. I want to try and keep the stock one if I can get it to work. I figured...- WAID

Power steering pump adjustment bolt
Found my first surprise from a previous owner on the '86 F-250 truck. At some point the adjustment bolt for the power steering pump was replaced with a 5/16 bolt and maybe a nut(that end is currently AWOL).
