    Need to resurrect a 2004/06 6.0L

    My daily driver pickup recently got stolen and I need to fix my dad's King Ranch 6.0L to have a truck again. It's either a 2004 or 2006; he took the paperwork out of it and the batteries were dead yesterday when we checked in it. He got so fed up with local Ford dealer changing "bad...

    Would a 36" fit?

    Got a friend with 36" TSL radials and I haven't seen or heard them rub yet, but I don't think he carries any real weight. Bronco Graveyard catalogue says 36" tire will fit on stock f-350 4x4.

    my dream truck

    The '92-'97 f-350 4x4 can fit 36" tires STOCK. I know a guy with a '94 that has 36" TSL radials on his diesel and it's mean looking. I'm planning a 2" lift to put 37" TSLs. That's a real truck, Jack.

    Question about tie rod ends

    Any of them will do unless you're building a recovery vehicle, a rock crawler, or something else where it would be used heavily. Me and my dad use autozone and car quest parts. I think that's mostly Duralast. They usually have different grades, so just get the most expensive one if you're...

    Trying to solve air intrusion on 92 4x4?

    A few months back I was driving my IDI late in the afternoon when I had the first episode. I stood on the throttle in 2nd gear and just before I would normally shift to 3rd, at I guess 2300 rpm or so, the truck had a surge of power and then started "missing" like a gasoline engine, but I had...

    Door speaker wiring

    I found a website that says orange-green is +ve and blue-white is -ve for the front left and White-green is +ve and pink-green -ve for the right front. The colors are close to that on my 92 truck, so that's what I used to hook up my new JL audio speakers. Only problem is I haven't finished...

    Spindle bearing install

    I am about to put in new spindle bearing (needle bearing) in a 1-ton PSD. I'm pretty sure it's the same uppers and spindle. I had to grind the old one out with a die grinder because it was frozen in. I didnt mesure it, and I don't recall a snap ring or anything else holding it in. If I get...

    How many hours would you say that rebuild took? Just a rough figure?

    What should idles be set at for '92 IDI?

    Yeah I got my for manual from eBay. The seller was "fatguyfactorymanuals". Mine were new, revised Ford manuals, still wrapped in platic, for the 1993 ford trucks. I flipped through them and there's a lot of information.

    What should idles be set at for '92 IDI?

    Thanks, guys. I just got a Ford factory manual so hopefully I can fix the idle issue.

    Does my 7.3 IDI need an overhaul

    I've been driving my 1992 diesel for a couples months and it started knocking one day and losing oil pressure driving down the highway. When I checked the motor oil it was 4 quarts low. I refilled it and checked it the next week, after what appeared to be another knocking sound, and it was...

    What should idles be set at for '92 IDI?

    I just bought a '92 crew-cab, long bed 4x4 and I'm starting to work out the kinks (I'll try to post some picks soon :love:). After finals, we (me and my pop) changed all 4 ball joints, both tie rods, and front u-joints. When I first start the truck in the morning it knocks and idles...
