Dana 60 Spindle Needle Bearing Seal National SBK3
I suspect you will be pleased when comparing the new stuff to the SBK3 kit. The only reason I know is I tried the same thing when rebuilding a D44 TTB (which uses different seal numbers from referenced above due to smaller axle) in ordering what I thought was a (best) full kit of parts. The...- kawamatt

Dana 60 Spindle Needle Bearing Seal National SBK3
The SBK3 kit you purchased and linked to from 4wheelparts looks to be the old style of inner and outer spindle seal. The roller bearing you have installed is good. I would however suggest to ditch the seal parts from the SBK3 kit and instead order SKF 21918 for the outer and SKF 14634 for...- kawamatt

zf5 trouble
What is a grind type syncro? Reverse gear on the ZF mainshaft is synchronized. View the last picture in this post to see the 5th/reverse syncro body with the reverse blocker ring (synchronizer) still installed. Now I won't say its easy to force it into reverse if the output shaft is still...- kawamatt

Spongey brake pedal after replacing hoses and calipers
The motorcraft calipers I installed had an R or L cast into appropriate the calipers...and I still screwed it up first time. Same symptoms as you. Bled and bled and bled and got a little air each time but pedal never firmed up. Swapped them side for side and done in an hour.- kawamatt

Spongey brake pedal after replacing hoses and calipers
Stupid question, but did you install the new calipers on the right side? There is a left and right. Don't ask me why I would think to ask this question...:idiot:- kawamatt

ZF5 rollover noise with a twist
My ZF behind a (tired) 351 has rollover when it is warmed up. Can't hear it in the cab but can hear it well standing beside the truck or with your head down there. Thing runs great though so I'm not concerned. I put all new shift forks in mine during the rebuild and everything went back...- kawamatt

Found this interesting ford document...
So you are disputing Bernoulli's Principle? Pressure in the system is not fairly consistent. If it were, there would be no flow in the system. The system becomes pressurized due to the expansion of water when heated. There are also localized areas of higher pressure due to the energy...- kawamatt

Found this interesting ford document...
The orifice in the coolant line to the heater core is to reduce the fluid pressure not the velocity. For incompressible flows (liquid is negligibly compressible), a reduction in the flow area results in a increase in the flow velocity. Mass flow is constant therefore the flow velocity must...- kawamatt

Fudge Monkey, Broken Brake Caliper Bolt
Exactly. If it broke because the threads hung up or it bottomed out, get ready to fight it. If the head popped off because you tried to turn it in too far, whats left in the hole is likely not very tight and will come right out with a left hand drill bit.- kawamatt

Cowl Drain Rubber Seal
In my estimation, the reason for the plug on the passenger side is to help keep water out of the fresh air inlet for the HVAC system. Right below the plug is the fresh air inlet. If water was to drip through the cowl cover and straight down, it could go right into the fresh air inlet and fill...- kawamatt

Cowl Drain Rubber Seal
The Ford P/N for the passenger side rubber plug is E0TZ-10020A50-A. Fords habits would lead me to believe the drivers (left) side plug would then be E0TZ-10020A51-A. This number doesn't come back with anything though.- kawamatt

Cowl Drain Rubber Seal
The thing you are missing is that the numbers molded into the parts are not part numbers. They are engineering numbers, which you cannot use to order replacement parts. Without going to Ford and specifically asking for a drivers side cowl plug for a 96'-97' F250-350, or finding someone with a...- kawamatt
