    4wd conversion questions.

    It is a option since a lot of guys want rsk anyways. True it won't work if you don't want any lift.

    Alkyd Enamel - tractor and implement paint

    I used the Ford light gray implement paint from tractor supply with hardener on a car hauler trailer and at first it looked really nice but at this point I wish I would have repainted with the Napa industrial paint I used on it the first time. It chips and scratches off very easily. I even used...

    Ever seen a 6.9 with cavitation problems?

    I've seen it a couple of times over the years and not just in 6.9/7.3 engines. It sucks to pull a head and see a bunch of pits/holes in a cylinder wall because you just know this is going to cost a bunch more to fix.

    Will Ether cause the glow plugs to swell?

    Starting fluid does some interesting things to hot glow plugs, also does a fantastic job of eroding the aluminum piston crowns.

    Looking to buy new rig what say you about this powerstroke

    Good price if the drive train is sound. The rest is just cosmetic.

    ATS Exhaust Upgrade Kit

    I'm just guessing here but I take it that that you are talking about cutting into the cast iron elbow. If so my opinion is that gains received would not be significant enough to outweigh the amount of work needed to do the modification. Cast iron can be tricky to weld. You would be much better...

    SOB...

    Yes I've tried unplugging the power from the FSV. I usually run diesel clean in the fuel but maybe I will fill the fuel filter with it and see if that helps.

    Fuel pump semi-emergency

    Yes it is the correct one. Why they changed the arm design I'm not sure.

    SOB...

    To bring up a post that was resting quietly, I am having the opposite problem. My engine starts like it should but the FSV is not shutting the engine off. Yes the power to the FSV is shutting off but I have to pinch the rubber hose going to the lift pump closed to get the engine shut down. Any...

    por 15

    I haven't used it myself but a couple of buddies have and it seems to hold up well. I'm curious about how good rust-mort and rust-shield is. It is mentioned in a article in the May issue of Diesel Power.

    Coolant Loss Issues - Help me diagnose these findings

    I would say yes your heater core is gone. It's possible it has been leaking for awhile but you would usually smell the coolant or it would leave a haze on the inside of the windshield.

    How Do I Adjust Camber?

    If the tops of the tires are out only a couple of degrees I would leave it alone until you can afford a proper alignment. They came from the factory with positive camber so you should be fine.
