    I figured people that drive Automatics are...shiftless. Love to watch the guy behind me launch it when the light changes, iam grinding through the gears on the T-19 and he suddenly does a nose dive to keep from kissing my Trailer Hitch. Goat

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    When I got out of the Navy, my right pointer finger was bent from always having a Coffee Mug in my hand. First thing in the morning make a pot of the stuff, then around 6pm make another pot. I can drink the stuff till 1am or later, hit the sack and Iam out. Doesn`t keep me awake or the jitters...

    Return line question

    I eliminated the line from the Filter to the return line cap several years ago, and have never had a problem with air. There was a TSB from Ford quite a few years ago to eliminate that hose as there had been problems with it. You can replace the Hard Line from the Lift Pump to the Filter with...

    IDI Newbie

    I said that sort of "Tongue and Cheek". When my Dad turned 90, he decided to stop driving. "Do you think Suzy would like my (96) Ford Tarus Station Wagon"? (He passed in 2012) We drove it from San Jose to Portland and gave it to her. Her first reaction was "How do you drive an automatic". She...

    IDI Newbie

    You two guys got that right. Old is beautiful. One problem is lots of time the Wife doesn`t understand why he wants that old truck, and just wants it gone. You spend all your time working on that old thing, and never spend enough time with me....and there are things I want to do. I knew some...

    Seats look like they have been redone in Vinal, originals were probably in some type cloth. 54K miles and needed redone? Maybe sun damage or? Goat

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finally got the bed back on and bolted down. Fuel lines reconnected. I pulled it because front tank was leaking, really didn`t see from where. Tightened all clamps etc... I have a 2/4" threaded fitting screwed into the Roll over grommet, maybe it wasn`t down tight enough? Pulled it and thought...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I was under the impression all IDI`s (6.9/7.3) were all the same. (as far as the Crank) maybe the 94, last year some changes were made because of the factory Turbo. I doubt Ford had 2 different cranks for 250 and 350. I don`t remember reading anything on it. Iam still stumbling along learning...

    Rear main seal replacement

    In the kit it has a metal cup to drive it on? I bought that same one, and thought what is this goofy thing? None of the pictures of an IDI Crank did I see a speedy Sleeve with this Flange. So then bought a different one or type OEM From Ford (but through E-bay) Has 4 pins and a tool to drive it...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Hacked89 did have a good YT Video of installing the Real Main. Guess he took it down. I watched it several times before I installed the Plate. Be sure you clean off the top of the Oil pam and corners, then apply your RTV (Right Stuff) especially in the corners. Tip the Plate at an angle like...

    Rear main seal replacement

    How about something like this? I assume you are talking about the rear of the Engine. https://www.autobodytoolmart.com/product/3m-scotch-brite-roloc-clean-strip-disc-black-07466/grinding-discs Walmart has one I buy, pretty agressive and should clean up the back of the engine. They around 8 -...

    Did you read through the link in post#5? I must have done something right even though I was unsure if I was doing things right stumbling along getting the dang rear seal installed. Put a few thousand miles on her and no leaks. I put a link of the Rotunda Ford tool to press the seal into the...
