How are you deleting the vacuum pump, are you going with no cruise or some other system? Only other thing I can think of that runs off of vacuum is the brakes and you went with hydro so that takes care of that. I have a feeling that my vacuum system is on the downhill slide so going with hydro...
When I replaced the shocks on my 88, I had a bit of an alignment problem too. The front ones were fine, but the rears were a bit tricky. I put in coil overs so I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. That was last August and I've had no problems suspension wise since then...

Haven't messed with the shower head thing yet so what you're saying is a very real possibility. That be the case though, that means I have to drop both tanks, clean them out, replace the showerheads, and either replace the FSV, or do like you say and drill the rivets out and clean it out...
The rear tank worked fine for several months with no issues so I don't think it was reversed. Could be a hole up near the top. Something else, when the truck died, there was plenty of fuel in the fuel filters (gotta love goldenrod). It was doing this before I added the extra fuel filters, so...
I lost the sending unit on the front tank a couple weeks ago so I"m trying not to get too upset at the truck. I think I'll switch over to manual valves next payday. Electric is nice, but something to be said for manual stuff when you have to troubleshoot. I"m also half tempted to replace the...
That was pleasant.
Replaced all 4 O rings on the FSV for the rear tank and took her for a drive and it still did the same thing. Ran good, then started surging, complete with some really nice power, then power loss again. Died around the corner from the house, tried to start it and the...
Got that fitting loose and the female side has 2 o-rings in it. Brown in color (vitons?) So how do you replace those two O rings? Cut the fitting and replace it?
I was only able to work on the one line before I had to quit so the others might be okay. If I can get the FSV to move a bit so i can get both hands on it, then i will replace all of the o rings.
Still chasing air intrusion and am currently still unable to use rear tank. Upon switching to rear tank I get surging and a slow but steady loss of power. Switch back to the front tank and power comes back within 1/8-1/4 mile. So that should mean it's from the FSV back to the rear tank. I...
I would. I had a couple that looked like they were on, but didn't quite snap into place. I would also make sure your clamps are tight. I just got done fixing one that wasn't tight enough and I was able to pull the return line off with my hands. And if one can do, I'm sure another one can, so...
And for anyone else with an 88 f250 with a 7.3 idi n/a here is an electrical diagram that I found that actually matched our truck. All the other diagrams didn't match, they showed the FSS as only having one wire.
Fixed my melted electrical wires for the FSS and cold start solenoids, fixed a fuel leak and put some more Permatex on the fuel heater plug because it looked like it might have been leaking.
Think I found it. Looks like the wiring diagram goes from the glow plug controller to the FSS to the engine temp sensor, then to the cold idle solenoid and then the cold advance solenoidl. Guess all those diagrams I downloaded from my Alldata subscription finally paid off.
