    Smoke But No Fire

    Put a new CPS in today still no fire. Think it maybe the fuel pump now. Just for fun I opened the filter base and the fuel was down in it. Cranked it over a few time to fill it up. Put the cover back on and tried to start thew truck. Tried to fire a few times but still no money. Opened the base...

    Smoke But No Fire

    Slung it over a few times this afternoon. Turning plenty fast enough to fire. The tach isn't steady when spinning it and jumps at times, which makes me think the CPS may be flakey. If this is the case could it be bad and not throw a code?

    Smoke But No Fire

    Nah the superchipper just pulls the codes. I'm on night shift so if I get up in time today (Tue) I'll double check and make sure whether I have any movement on the tach when I sling it over.

    Smoke But No Fire

    Not the starter. Put a new one in about two months ago. A real starter from my local rebuild shop not one from some of the cheapo chain stores. I think the tach is moving. Honestly the truck broke down about three weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to looking at it. Think I checked that...

Just want a daily driver that i can show my ass in when the urge hits and the traffic light changes. Stage 2's sound good but i want to keep this thing dependable as a daily driver and not dump...

    Upgrade Time

    Looking for a little advice on upgrading my 97 F350, 7.3 with five speed ZF with 277,000 miles. Going to have to remove the turbo because of a nagging small oil leak. I've read conflicting things on upgrading or just rebuilding the turbo. Thing is I'm going with Rosewood stage one or possibly...

    dipstick O-Ring replacement

    When I replaced mine i removed the dipstick tube and inserted a round wire brush into the assembly on the oil pan. I tied the othe end of the brush off to the frame so wouldn't loose it all in the pan. Then just remove the nut clean the old stuff up and replace the o-ring. Be sure the brush is...

    Rear Drums Heating

    Got the flex hoses on the way. Black dawg is the RABS valve on the frame below the master cylinder with an electrical connection on the back? Replacing shoes,pads and master cylinders is the extent on my brake system experience on Ford diesels.

    Rear Drums Heating

    Rear Drums Heating

    A friend has a 90 F250 4WD. On long trips the rear drums get extremely hot. This happened once before and one side got so hot the tire caught fire. New brakes bearings and seals as a result of the fire (on both sides). The problem has resurfaced. I was told that the old brake flex hose from the...

    Fuel Pump

    I ground heated and bent a wrench to remove and tighten the banjo bolt. Double S and Animal are right leave the pump a little loose and two finger it. Lost my religion figuring that out when I changed my pump.

    Oil Leak? on Cold Start

    One more thing. Did some research now the question is do I raise the drivers side of the engine or not. I want to remove the entire assembly because I don't want to risk cracking the front cover.

    Oil Leak? on Cold Start

    No need for the part numbers I'll call my buddy at the local dealership Monday. Got to thinkinking and that explains why that side of my engine appears wet but never drips that much. Got a few miles until my filter change on a first run of Auto Rx. Probably wait until I change the filter and get...

    Oil Leak? on Cold Start

    Looks like I'll be changing mine. Are these parts I need to get ahead of time or standard o-rings?

    Oil Leak? on Cold Start

    Could bad o-rings leak on a cold start-up. Plugged in at home it has never done that no matter how cold the outside temp is.

    Oil Leak? on Cold Start

    My 97 dually had been parked for several days while I was attending a class. Had been really cold during the day and in the teens at night. Started her up when I got ready to leave and it puked oil out the drivers side of the engine somewhere. Didn't crawl under to look because only about a cup...

    Right rear brake locking up

    I had the same problem on my 97 dually. E brake cable on passenger side wasn't stuck but it wasn't releasing all the way. So my shoes were partially expanded on the passenger side all the time. Brake job and removed that cable until i got a new one and problem solved. My understanding of the...

    300 SDL Tranny

    Made a few short, 5 to 10 mile, trips in my 86 300SDL the other day everything fine. Got in to drive to the beach and no go. The car will not move or attempt to in forward or reverse. Fluid and linkage are fine. My first thought is the pump has gone south. Only cracked open and worked on Ford...

    Dip Stick Tube Leak

    I have a small leak on my 97 powerstroke where the dip stick tube assembly goes into the pan. Was leaking bad until I tightened the nut. I've heard the horror stories about the bottom half of the assembly falling into the pan. Question is what is the procedure to keep the lower half from getting...

    Waste Motor Oil as fuel in a 7.3?

    I have a real simple rig. Oil is screened to remove chunks. Filtered down to 5 microns with a pneumatic pump pushing the oil through the filters. I blend mine after screening and before filtering. Mixing is done in a 55 gallon drum. Warm weather 10 gallons diesel, cold weather 15 gallons diesel...

    300 SDL Loosing Power

    Tried turning the compressor. It doesn't have anymore resistance than the compressor on my 97 powerstroke. There hasn't been a noticeable drop in fuel economy since I started having this problem. Anymore ideas? Oh yea I have the high dollar compressor so good thing it seems to be OK.

    300 SDL Loosing Power

    My 86 300 SDL has never been a powerhouse but when I started using the AC this year it has no power from a dead stop. I was burning WMO/diesel mix and thought it may be the fuel. Ran it down and same thing on pure diesel. No problem in my other vehicles with the WMO mix or the Benz in the past...
