    Bearing On It's Way Out?

    So now it's getting worse-go figure.. I was quoted $1200-cuss for a guy to do all the work to pull it and rebuild it, but I don't have that kind of money. My alternate would be to just swap in a used one, unless it is something stupid simple. I'm gonna pull the side covers in the morning...

    Bearing On It's Way Out?

    Oil leaks out when you pull the fill, and it's nearly as clean as it was when I filled it a year ago. No center support bearing, and the u-joints look to be good but I suppose anything is possible..

    Bearing On It's Way Out?

    Sorry I should have worded that different; it does it while in gear. No other symptoms, but easy engagement, and smooth shifting.

    Lucas Trans Stop leak and the C6

    I've used the stuff before in a couple of my old trucks and my results were mixed, though none bad. One truck, it made no difference, but in the other, I experienced what you've described. It may have been all in my head though...

    Bearing On It's Way Out?

    Just this last week I noticed that in 3rd gear(T19), between 1800-2300rpm, I hear something that sounds a lot like a mouse's feet running across a bare floor, if that makes sense. It started out just an occasional "chirp", but now it does it everytime I'm in 3rd. Someone said it might be a...

    1974 F350 CC/LB

    Passing through Cut-N-Shoot today, I passed a body shop with this litttle gem. I went back for a better look, but unfortunately the shop was closed. Anyway, it's a 74 with a 460 and I think it was an auto (forgot to look :dunno ). Called the number and the guy said he wants $4500. It's a...

    tire questions

    My dad just picked up a 90 F350 dually that had 255/75/16s on the rear, on only one side :eek:. Don't know what the PO was thinking when he put that one together, but needless to say, the sidewalls are glazed and the rubber is considerably softer where they were rubbing. They have plenty of...

    battery cables????

    I have an 86 IDI and the GF has a 97 PSD, and I can say pretty confidently that the cables, side by side, look almost exactly the same. That being said, I'd bet that if there was any difference, it'd probably be that the newer stuff is heavier gauge deal with higher load requirements. Just...

    91 G20

    My dad has a :puke:91 G20 Van:puke: that's been giving him fits for some time, and now he's come down to visit and he's not sure he'll make it back home. It's got a TBI 350 with a nasty surge at idle. They've chased down other problems, and to date it has a complete new distributor, plugs...

    Mirrors

    I had this same problem on the old truck... short story I just bought one of those cheapo replacement heads from the local parts store and swapped in the glass. Same size and shape.

    What happens?

    The guy that does the maintainence on our work trucks is supposed to know Powerstrokes pretty good (worked for Ford) and he said that the way that the injectors are fired is kinda like a failsafe, since supposedlly they wont fire without enough oil... BUT... I have personally driven a...

    $60 for coolant test strips?!!

    If we knew those things were that expensive when we worked at the truckstop, maybe we wouldn't have dropped so many on the floor. Or maybe we would have taken some home instead...;Really

    How Do i Get more fuel!

    I've done this one a while back... supposedly if you put a bb between the spring and the bolt that holds it in it puts the spring under more tension equaling more fuel pressure. Did it on my old truck and don't remember it making a whole lot of difference but it didn't hurt either.

    Not Dead Yet...

    Needing help with my girlfriend's 97 Powerstroke. It idles really rough when you start it (like it's stone cold) every time since she put some diesel in this afternoon. It drove fine, and only lopes for the first 30 seconds or so. Drained some stuff outta the water seperator, and it lit off...
