    Cooling liquid specification?

    Thanks lad's, @ mike, I didn't jet read your links, but in the past I read much about it for our engines. since the SCA's are a pretty unknown thing here in europe, (everybody I asked about, even autoparts store guys were not aware that such thing exists.) Therefore I think that having the valid...

    Cooling liquid specification?

    Hello, Here in Europe we mostly like to use coolant ready from the factory instead of that you have it yourself to mix it. Now I wonder, in vieuw of these SCA's is there a Ford Spec. wich includes these SCA's? and which spec would that be? I also heard of these inspection strips, which A) are...

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    Exactly, it's just this what I was told they couldn't handle here.

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA? To my knowledge here in the EU wheels need to be in one line (front to rear) for the shops to do it right. (I might be wrong, but that is what I was told so far). So, I'm curious how they do it at your side of the pond? where the Duallies...

    Well, It took a while, Gosh, the world must be happy with Fedex! after three weeks they found that my most important packet was put on hold, lost or whatever! after it was scanned at airport Roissy, Charles de Gaulle near Paris! It still must be walking around there.... Anyway, today I...

    you'll laugh when I tell you this, but do you know why it's hard to see moose with LED lights? because basicly LED lighting is based on blue light, where Halogen is based on yellow light. And in all that is at the side of the road, apart from road signs and the alike, there is hardly any blue's...

    I find the way those standard units project the light on the road horrible!, those two dot's of light! maybe that was ok for a T-Ford, but not for our trucks! I refuse to but these standard light units again, and go look for something different as well. are there some better images of how these...

    Oh yes, I forgot, but at one of these sleeves which supposedly is intended for the 4WD, and the upper-outer tie rod (the one attached to the pitman arm) and you look at the "info" tab it says that it has Counter Clockwise thread, while it needs clockwise thread. That makes I don't want to order...

    @You2slow, as I wrote, from the pitman arm down, you have the tie rod with 1-18tpi clockwise, then the sleeve for this same thread, (and that is the problem, from those numbers I can't find one sleeve who has in it's description if it has Cw or CCw tread) and the straight bar with 1-18tpi (Cw)...

    Ok, since nobody came up with a workable solution for me to get the original part numbers, I had very many problems to find the right parts at R***A*to. I think I'm almost there, maybe someone can help me for the following? I need the correct tie rod end adjusting sleeve (from the pitman arm to...

    If you like to do so, you might need the 4x4 dually rims, the 235's might touch with the original set up. and the 4x4 rims (originally) have a slightly different offset, so that the 235's (original mounting) doesn't touch.

    Using mech fuel pump as an air compressor??

    Hi Scott, Wrong! though you must adapt the principle a little bit... It needs lubrication, how to do that: use airline oil misters at the air intake, and a oil separator at the exit, use aircompressor materials for that. Good luck.

    O'Reilly tie rods any good?

    everything NOS with rubber inside I would stay away from, since you don't know how long it was stocked and in which conditions. Such a NOS liftpump can be installed and give up the ghost whithin 5 minutes... :-(
