    Fuel Delivery...

    Got the pump today and put it in. Batteries on charge, we'll test her out in the AM. Fingers crossed. I need my truck. I heat solely with firewood and bituminous coal. Stocks are getting too low for my liking, it's been a long winter, not to mention I like the 4wd when the roads are bad...

    Fuel Delivery...

    Thanks for the interest in the site guys! I'm just starting to get stuff loaded up and currently have about 700 items, but plenty more things not listed. Feel free to drop me an email about something if you don't see it on the site. If I don't have it I can likely get it. My apologies if...

    Fuel Delivery...

    It would seem that way from what I typed. I had my wife come out and crank while I held the a header valve open, but throughout my various tests alone to draw fuel I ended up noticing what was going on with air coming out of the schrader valve. I ended up just buying the e-pump. Had planned...

    The front tank has about half a tank in it. I will run that test though. What do we have here.....

    Fuel Delivery...

    Will do tomorrow or Tuesday afternoon pending what work turns out like. I take it that will rule out the lift pump or not. That pump is likely original to the truck, with 200k it's about time if she did go.

    Filter is in good shape, it only has about 5k or so on it. I pulled it off to have a look see and didn't see any real issues. I'll likely go ahead and replace it now, anyways.

    I know the Carrier group buy is done for.... If this is the issue can anyone suggest a good, reasonably priced, off the shelf lift pump that I could pick up at a Napa, AutoZone, Advance or the like? Chris

    Hey guys, long time no talk. Been awful busy getting my used/obsolete chainsaw parts website rolling, the day job, family, firewood/coal loading and burning and all other things. Not to mention my rig hasn't been giving me any fits that I needed to seek advice out for. Now I'm having a...

    5" Exhaust Anyone?

    I bought the Dynomax kit for my truck a while back and am overall pleased with it. I have it on my 88 SCLB. I don't notice much of a drone and can carry on a conversation in the truck comfortably at all RPMs. The kit sounds pretty darn good, in my opinion also. It was worth the money and the...

    Your Front Axle....

    Seems the general consensus is a D60 is the ticket.... My truck has a D44... I believe I am correct in saying the options in these trucks was D44 D50 and D60. Anyone else have this setup? What was most common? Most uncommon? What are the drawbacks and advantages to all axle options...

    ULSD Additives and our trucks.

    In order to add some lubricity to our fuel to save wear and tear on parts what do you guys use? I was lucky enough to grab a few quarts of 2 stroke oil on the cheap and had been adding that with every fill up. 2 stroke oil is formulated specifically to burn without major carbon build up...

    88 F250 D44 TTB Spindle nut

    Hey guys, I need a little help here. Seems theres something I'm missing here.... About 2 months ago I broke a U-joint on my drivers side axle shaft. I ordered the new (to me) shaft and replaced it, removed lockouts, and used the specialty socket to remove the spindle nut...

    Hey Guys, Thanks for Having Me!

    Thank you. That Carrier pump from GenLightning was the plan. Seems like a stout setup. Any suggestions on IP suppliers? Thank you. The snow plow was somewhat useless to me. Always wanted a diesel truck, I was in the market and this one popped up with perfect timing. Seller...
