    Sterling 10.25 oil leak

    Check you axle vent tube to make sure its not plugged. If its not plugged the pinion seal is failing. Find a shop that deals with axles to replaced the seal. Its not as simple as just unbolting the yoke and changing the seal. A new crush sleeve has to be installed and the bearing pre load has...

    Exhaust on n/a

    Thrush welded muffler works good on these. You can get them in 3 inch and they are free flowing. I have the dynomax y pipe with a thrush welded muffler dumping out before the tire on my one truck and its okay. Going to add a tail pipe when it comes time to redo it but for quick and simple its...

    Could you Sleeve down an old crusty 7.3 to run 6.9 pistons???

    I don't think its even that. Its just the fact that these things are old and getting few and far between.

    Could you Sleeve down an old crusty 7.3 to run 6.9 pistons???

    Yeah getting pistons for a 6.9 right now is about impossible. I don't know if anyone will restart production of them either. I have a feeling the 7.3 is going to be the same way before much longer. I don't know if its lack of demand for them or what. I notice pistons for a lot of newer diesel...

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Ive always double dosed with howes for the lower temperature recommendation and never had a problem even when it was below zero. I will say this though it made my truck start noticeably better in the cold. I thought it was just a coincidence but several times after running out of it the truck...

    Power steering pissedness

    Remanufactured power steering pumps suck! I went through 3 on my old F150 before I got a decent one. You would be better off using a good used one than a reman.

    Low Silicate Green Coolant - Which One Are You Using?

    Fleet charge is the same as conventional low silicate green. The color is to indicate that its pre charged with sca. Fleet charge uses DCA-2

    Low Silicate Green Coolant - Which One Are You Using?

    Fleet charge is low silicate green that is already pre charged with SCA. Just so you understand there are two types of sca and they both require their own test strips. There is DCA-2 and DCA-4.

    As soon as you warp a head its game over.

    Project Stress Test

    These engines don't like running hot or over heating so probably the last engine I'd choose for a derby car.

    Fumoto oil drain plug size??

    1/2-20 All my vehicles have fumoto drain plugs. Makes oil changes so much easier!

    Oil overfill ok?

    I would have just left it. Its not like you were that far above the full line to make a difference. Also for reference the capacity of these trucks with the stock filter is 10 quarts. With the longer powerstroke filter its 11.

    underbody/frame coating recommendations

    https://www.kellsportproducts.com/ I buy it by the 5 gallon bucket. I have their pro spray guns setup as well and have used it for years.

    underbody/frame coating recommendations

    Ive never been pleased with the way fluid film aerosol applies. Using the bulk product from a spray gun designed for it works much better. But as I mentioned in my previous post wool wax is a step above fluid film. I actually used to mix bar and chain oil with my fluid film before spraying it...
