    2026 Best Oil Filter for the 7.3 IDI?

    It’s idi I think the fact they still running at this age is proof it doesn’t matter what you put on it…. The truck will fall apart around it before the oil filter micron rating kills it

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    I did this a couple years ago, and it was an absolute pain, I too did it on jack stands in the driveway. If i remember correctly, I used a floor jack under the the knuckle to help get into height place, I also used a wood wedge and would hammer it to help position the eyelet down or over to...

    Update: Not a lot of progress today sadly, I got caught up on the fact that the heater hose nipple on the bottom of the rad doesn't fit. ( I know you dont need it persay, but I want it) I ordered the adaptor to fit it. The plan is to bypass it for now, then when the adaptor arrives I will...
