    Are my leaf springs bad?

    I think you're missing what I'm asking. I don't mind the rough ride of the truck. Pulling a camper with 800lb tongue weight behind an f350 dually shouldn't make you sound like you're stuttering while driving down the highway. I'll let the shop close to work check it out and see what they think.

    Are my leaf springs bad?

    Ok, with my camper hooked up i'm diggin into the rubber stoppers real good. I stood on the bumper today while hooked up and I couldn't jump and get the truck to move any.

    Are my leaf springs bad?

    I see what you're saying but should I be all the way down on the overloads with this amount of weight?

    Are my leaf springs bad?

    My truck unloaded rides like I've got wood wheels on the rear. There is no give in the suspension at all and a rough road will rattle your teeth. The thing is when I hook my 28 ft camper to it truck will bounce and you can feel evey movent of the trailer tires. This camper shouldn't be heavy...

    Well, 5 Voltage Regulators Later....And

    Ditto on the alternator. I just went through the same problem a while back. Installed new vr with new alt. and after truck warmed up voltage needle would peg out and then fluctuate with rpms. Changed vr three times and finally changed alternator and all is fine now. That's been a couple of...

    fan clutch howls constantly..it's new!

    Mine howls constantly too after truck has warmed up. Would be nice to have it cooling good without sounding like a jet on take-off. I can definately feel the power loss.

    Radiator leak

    Can't afford a new one right now so if I could get a few more months out of this one it would help me alot. Do you think the JB Weld idea would give me a little time? Never done any soldering before. What do I need to get to do this job?

    Radiator leak

    Put a new water pump and lift pump on today and somehow accidentaly knocked a pinhole in the radiator taking the fan off. The leak is middle ways down and dead center of the fan . Question is can I use JB Weld or is a radiator shop repair in order?

    electrical pug on e4od

    On pass. side of tranny behind the tin heat shield is a plug with wires. Can anybody tell me what these are for because the insulation is gone on just about all of the individual wires and bare copper is all that's left where it enters the harness. I'm trying to diagnose this hard shifting and...

    trans shifting a little too firm

    Yea, the light is working. I've read that there is also a speed sensor either on the tranny or the rear axle that could cause hard shifting. The tach is working fine, but the speedo has some bounce untill it gets to about 30 or 40 mph. I also think it's reading about 5mph slower than I'm...
