    My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD

    I must update my previous comments. There was nothing wrong with my IP. Can't believe now I even suspected it. My starter was trashed! when I tested it after removal, it would barely turn over and screeched with worn out bearings. No wonder.... But these Powermaster starters are amazing! It...

    I'm glad you sorted yours out. Sorry it was the engine, but now you got something for way into the future.

    Thanks. Well, I started thinking about my ip but I'd never suspect it, it's a Conestoga also, but I've been suspecting my starter for awhile. I ordered a Powermaster yesterday, my present starter turns over slower than it used to. Also need to add some clear line just to check for air...

    I'm dying to know, did it turn out to be the IP? or the starter? I'm having a similar problem and I just started testing the IP, because I never suspected it, being only about 10k miles on a new IP. My starter is old though.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I'm very impressed! Do you have many hills to haul up and down?

    gonna try my hand at return line repair

    To slide new ones on trouble free, take a spare piece of 1/2 inch copper plumbing pipe with a clean pipe cutter edge. 6 inches is fine. Now rub the edge with sand paper starting at about 120 grit go to 220 grit to relieve the sharp edge. If you have a buffer, buff the edge with some...

    Dang Squeaky Noise

    My belt has been squeaking for years, just like this, and I spray silicon lubricant on it and it goes away for days. I just got concerned today that maybe my VP was bad too, so I found this thread. lol, guess it's time for a new belt. It's at least 10 years old. Gotta check tomorrow which...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Got new headlights installed, new headlight switch ( that's what broke ) changed a few burned out dash lights. Installed a headlight relay kit from lmc. What a difference lenses make. Btw, the plugs on the back of the dash gauges were stuck to the circuit board, like glue! So didn't want to...

    Towing ?

    I have a stupid question.( I probably have to make another long tow before installing a pyro): When do egt's rise the most, lugging up a hill as the rpm's drop , or winding it up, lower gears, up a tough grade?

    Towing ?

    Good to know. I'll do one or the other.

    Towing ?

    Where is the good place to tap the manifold? near the back cylinder on the passenger side? I guess there's not enough room to drill much past that point.

    Towing ?

    Towing ?

    I guess I need to get one! Anyone know a good reliable one?

    Towing ?

    On a naturally aspirated stock tuned ip, is using a pyro necessary while towing? I was under the impression the turbo created the hi temps. I don't tow over 7500# with my na stock setup. But I don't have a pyro.
