    How to use Ferret Timing Adapter

    While reading another member's thread about wanting to be able to time their own truck, I was reminded of the fact that I got a Ferret Timing adapter for Christmas but haven't been able to use it... I have set it up and observed a consistent flashing in the timing light, but I have yet to...

    Fuel Return Olives

    I am in the process of replacing the olives on my fuel return system. I have one removed (read: pain in the -cuss) and I am working on the other end of the tube. When I replaced the olives on the inlet side of the pump, I had equal difficulty, but this time around, my hands have been reduced...

    I'm guessing headgaskets...

    Ok, for the past little while, I have noticed a missing coolant trend in my F-250. I had kinda written it off to the apparent leaks in the top of my radiator because it always seemed to stop at about that level. This weekend, I noticed that I had some fluid that had dripped out of my truck...

    Rear Shock Absorber Nut & Washer

    This weekend I undertook the project of installing my B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch. Part of the process involved loosening the center bed-bolts to ease the installation of the rear support rail for the hitch. Upon completing the project, due to a time constraint, I put off tightening the...

    I have looked in the Parts Bin with no luck...

    Unless I am completely blind, I couldn't find the part numbers for the large and small firewall bracing kits from Ford. If someone could produce those numbers, I would greatly appreciate it!:hail

    This is the right starter, right???

    My leaky valve covers killed my starter, so after I fixed the valve cover issue, I ordered a new, gear reduction starter from DB Electrical. well, I have it ready to go in, but the gear of the old starter is supported by a cone, while the new isn't. I have several pictures of both, so tell me...

    Alternator

    I was installing a gauge kit on my dad's truck today ('99 F-250 4x4, 7.3, Auto), and after I finished up, I reconnected the batteries and cranked her up. The cranking was definitely longer and more labored than usual, but the truck fired off anyway, and sounded fine, except the battery light did...

    West Coast Rally Go-ers...

    I'm trying to scope out a potential Boob express run from the rally down closer to my neck of the woods. Ironman03R has some seats that I would like to buy, but shipping form Ohio to Southeast Texas would be killer. If any of the west coast guys are taking a half-way southern drive through...

    Custom Shift Knob Originally, this post was for a recently dismissed member, now I suppose it's just a chance for me to show of my custom shift knob. Here are the pics of my shift knob from Bruce Roosa. I ordered the "International Navistar" pin from a lady on ebay and then sent the pin the...

    Crew Cab Parts?

    My CC needs a few things like a passenger side rear arm rest and new rubber floor-mat, but no one seems to deal in F-350 CC's... The floor-mat looks like a two-piece setup ending after the front bench, but this is my first non-super duty CC, so I'm not sure exactly how it's supposed to be. If...

    Aftermarket Tach Options

    Since my new truck doesn't have a factory tach in the dash, what are some of my options for running a tach on my truck? My IP gear cover has the provision for a factory sensor, but it is plugged off at the moment. I'm not opposed to having a factory setup, but they seem to be pretty...

    Dismal Blackstone Report

    Well, today I got an email from Blackstone with my report from my oil change that happened about a month ago. It seems there is a distinct probability that I am sucking coolant, but I haven't really noticed a drop in the coolant level. (It is always low, but I think i have some pinholes in the...

    1986 F-350 4x4

    I have the opportunity to buy an 86 F-350 Crew Cab, 4x4, 6.9, C6. Has one rust hole through the driver's floor-pan near the seam that the weatherstripping runs on, and a sizable dent inside the front of the bed. I have looked at buying this truck before, and I believe that it has no more than...

    My Alternator is getting chatty...

    Noticed a little noise from the top of the engine today when I went to jump my '82 for the first time in a few months. Upon further scrutiny I decided that is was the alternator and pulled the truck in the barn to have a closer look. After pulling the appropriate belts off, I spun the alternator...

    Fusebox Question

    I'm in the middle of properly redoing some wiring on my truck. The PO had a wire spliced (rather poorly I might add) to the 12v ignition on that energizes the FSS. In my search for a better power-source to trigger a relay, I found a 15A fuse labeled "Accessory" in the fuse panel that appears...

    2wd Steering / Suspension Issue

    Not really up to snuff on my terminology, but here goes... Been hearing some noise and feeling some movement in the front end of my truck lately. Since I bought it over a year ago, the steering has had a pretty good amount of slack in it but I have just put up with it till now. This evening...

    Doug Nash OD Installed but...

    Well, I got my aux. transmission installed today, but upon test driving, it seems that I can't go any faster than I could before the installation. Unless something is wired up backwards, i think I might have an underdrive instead of an overdrive... Not pointing any fingers, just trying to get...

    '99 F-350 4x4 DRW Brake Issue

    Buddy of mine wanted me to look at the brakes on his truck due to some harsh sounds. Upon inspection, I noticed that the piece that mounts between the caliper and the axle is terribly close to the rotor. (Shown by the yellow arrow) Basically, it looks like the rotor is riding 1/8" too far out...

    DNe2 OD Oil Capacity

    Before I install my overdrive here shortly, I would like to do a fluid change in the old girl just for good measure. I know the unit requires 80w-90 gear oil, I just don't know when to quit pouring... I was figuring on going with the regular old rotella gear oil at wal-mart, but would a...

    US Gear

    Well, I had a great experience with US Gear's customer service today. The fella on the other end of the phone, Jim, was more than helpful to me while I was ordering speedo parts for my "new" DNe2 OD. Couldn't have asked for any better in customer assistance. During some of the small talk while...
