    Ordered a Maverick

    Hello all... Long time, no see! Just FYI, I ordered a 2022 Maverick 20. Ecoboost, FX4 in Alto Blue. With all the supply problems, a lot of Maverick orders are being pushed further and further into the future. I ordered mine on 8/9 and it was built on 10/14. As of this writing, it's about 100...

    e99 fan clutch R&R?

    Towing the fiver on Friday, my idiot temp gauge made it all the way up into the red zone and the fan never engaged.. Once I let the truck idle down, it would kick in and work to cool the engine. If my engine RPM was up, the clutch wouldn't engage at all. Luckily, today was cooler and we made it...

    Michigan to WV/PA?

    I'm trying to get an air deflector for my truck and it's sitting in Michigan. It's not small and has hardware with it. Here's a couple of pics: If anyone is coming east, please let me know...

    Need to get some Jetta parts from Amherst, OH to WV eastern Panhandle

    I'm needing to get a rear axle and other misc parts for my diesel Jetta from Amherst, OH to someplace close to Martinsburg, WV. I'd even be happy to drive up to 100 miles to meet up for them. Anyone making the trip east and using the Ohio Tpk, please let me know.. .

    Sold my 97 today...

    Since Bonnie got sick, we haven't needed two trucks and her 97 just sat around.. It was driven occasionally, but not enough to justify keeping it. I listed it for sale on CL and got a few bites, but nothing serious. I also listed it on autotrader.com and got a call today. The guy knew 7.3's and...

    Clunking in the rear diff at takeoff

    My dually started clunking a bit, whenever I would take off from a stop and was turning also. I figured it might be U-joints, but they were all tight. The carrier had some play in it, but not enough to allow the U-joints to bind up. It got worse and would do it anytime I would take off from a...

    Are there any hot-to's about changing the instrument cluster lights in a 99SD? Just curious...

    early/late 99 turbo differences..

    A friend at work has a turbo, that he got from a buddie's totaled truck. He said the truck was a 99, but didn't know if it was early or late 99. Would the compressor outlet be the bets way to tell? Nick already gave me a spare, but can you ever have enough spare parts? If the turbo is from an...

    Gremlin in the electric door locks

    We left Saturday morning, to do some camping over the New Year's weekend. Kitty's birthday is today, so I was able to get her out camping for her birthday. When we left, all four door locks on the dually were working fine. When we got to the campground, I hit the unlock button to let the dogs...

    Can you pick out the bad ones?

    For your viewing pleasure, are the glow plugs I removed from the 99 dually this evening. I've been having to plug the truck in, since it started cooling off. A quick OHM check, said that three of the eight were still good. I checked them as I was removing them and found that only one was good...

    2002 Jetta TDI

    Picked up a 2002 TDI on Friday.. 266,000 on the clock.. I needed something to get Bonnie to the doctor, that wasn't too high for her to climb into. It has it's quirks, but I like it.

    99 dually tire pressures?

    The door jamb sticker on my 99 is un-readable, where the tire pressures are listed. Would any of you guys be able to check your stickers and tell me what the factory wants the duals inflated to? I have the factory 16" steel wheels, with LRE tires. I just want to be sure I have it right, for...

    Landing gear drop tubes

    I bought a fifth wheel utility trailer, that used to be a camper. Sometime prior to my getting it, someone removed the drop tubes and feet. I would like to put some back on it, since the landing gear is manual crank and takes a long time! Anyone know where I could find a set?

    My "New" Airtex fuel pump...... A question

    After all the fuel pressure problems I've had, I thought a new pump would solve them... All this week, the pressure would immediately come up to 70PSI and hold there, for about 3-5 minutes. It would then drop sharply, depending on how much pressure I had on the go pedal. I figured my new fuel...

    Would this be a suitable filter?

    I am considering deleting the fuel bowl in my 99 and already have a filter head for the following filter. Would it be suitable for a post-pump filter for the 7.3? It is the same micron rating, as the stock filter.

    How quickly should the alternator case get hot?

    While working on the 99 today, I started and ran it for 2-3 minutes. It had been sitting all night. When I got back under the hood, I rested my arm on the alternator and it was a bit hot. I didn't take a temp, but I didn't want to leave my arm there long. Once I was done working on the truck, I...

    Fuel pressure dropping

    I got my regulated return installed in the 99, but I am now chasing down a fuel pressure drop. I have my FP gauge sending unit installed with the return line, before it goes into the regulator. When I did my regulated return, I used 1/4" steel line. Once the truck warms up, my fuel pressure...

    Installed water injection in the 99 today

    I got the system installed today and it works great. I'm confident that it will help clean out the coking, that has been building up for a while now. I had ordered a nozzle holder from Devilsown, but they are out of stock until sometime in August. I found parts at my local hardware store, and...

    Would a 17* HPOP help me out?

    Before the rally, I installed a new set of AD code injectors in the e99. I also installed a chip, with custom tunes for WMO use. I towed our 12,000lb fifth wheel a total of 275 miles and got a P1211 (ICP above/below desired) 48 times. I had my son watching the MT2500, while we were towing. I...

    The 99 is smoking again.. Why?!?!

    Last Thursday, I installed a new set of AD injectors in the 99 and everything seemed great. Went camping and after around 200 miles, it started smoking again and getting worse. I have 62PSI fuel pressure at the test port, close to the #1 injector. IPR at idle, is 8% and ICP at idle is 480. It...

    Front brakes squealing excessively

    My left front brakes on the 99 have been squealing pretty badly for about a week. I figured they were down to the indicators and needed changing. I picked up a new set of pads today and got to work. I pulled the right tire off first, since my garage isn't wide enough for me to do both sides...

    Fuel filter nightmare

    Attempted to change the 99's fuel filter today and it felt like the cap was glued on. It took me 45 minutes to get it off, but I wasn't about to let it beat me! I ended up cutting out a piece of the outside ring and using a hammer and punch, to get the cap to start turning. I'm not sure why it...

    Wastegate actuator clicking

    My e99's wastegate actuator started clicking the other day and never stops. I have no idea why it's doing that, but unplugged it. The wastegate is not hooked up anyway. I do get a code for the actuator circuit failure, but no CEL. Can I just leave it unplugged?

    First 5er tow with the dually

    We just got home, from a great weekend of camping and I wanted to brag on my truck a little. I've put a lot of work and money in the dually, to get it ready for towing and it was well worth it! Towing our 5er was a breeze, compared to towing it with our OBS! Except for the hills, you could...
