    ABS Problems

    You mean that there is air in my brake lines somewhere? Is the anti-lock light supposed to come on when ABS activates? If so, it doesn't.

    ABS Problems

    Hey, 1990 7.3L F350. Yes both "rear anti-lock" and "(!) BRAKE" lights WERE on until I filled the brake fluid, then they went out. No lights stay on when I'm driving out of those 2.

    ABS Problems

    Lately I've noticed my ABS has stopped working. When I slam on the brakes, the rear wheels lock up and I skid. Any idea what the culprit of my problem is?

    Glow plugs in this truck really have it in for me

    So some of you may have seen my many posts on my truck so far. First: The glow plug controller died in my truck. I replaced it. Second: I thought the GPC died again, but in fact after replacing the GPC + all 8 glow plugs (motocrafts) earlier this month, it turned out my ground cable for...

    Battery Woes?

    Problem is solved. My aftermarket fuel filter with hand pump was leaking at the pump. The model I have has been discontinued, so they are upgrading it to the new model.

    Battery Woes?

    Hm. Now that I think of it, on the top of my engine there are always 2 small pools of liquid in the pits where the glow plugs sit, on the 2 top most on the passenger side. I'm not sure if it's fuel, or oil from the turbo since the turbo sits right above there.

    What would cause my door solenoid to seize?

    Yeah definitely. The only reason I think it's water is because I'm prett ysure on the last one I replaced there was rust on the metal! Man, now I have to find a leak...

    Battery Woes?

    That's not a bad idea though I've never had problems even a bit below zero (-6?) and that's not even using my block heater.

    Battery Woes?

    SOB. I did the lift pump in my truck a year or two ago... if there's one thing I remember for sure, it's that my lift pump was a HUGE PAI to install. There were a couple nuts or bolts or something that were really hard to get a ratchet onto properly so I had to use crescent wrenches and even...

    Battery Woes?

    Okay, I've decided I'm taking my truck to NW Fuel Injection for them to take a look at it. I got her started tonight in order to drop her off, and while doing this I found that fuel bleed valve above the fuel filter, and used my second fuel filters handy pump to pull the fuel up. There was a...

    What would cause my door solenoid to seize?

    My passenger door lock, I've replaced it twice in the 3 years I've owned my truck. It seizes up and refuses to budge. It was on the fritz a few weeks ago (power lock switch pressed, then it struggles to move). Today I opened it by hand, and it took my key outside my door AND my hand on the...

    Battery Woes?

    So while the truck is running, or while I'm cranking it, I somehow have to hear hissing over the noise of that loud ass motor!?

    Battery Woes?

    Know what? Come to think of it I've had a very slow leak from somewhere under the hood for quite some time. I was never able to trace it's source. I'm pretty sure it's just oil though. Unless the diesel is mixing with some grime on the way down, I don't think that's what the leak is. So I...

    Battery Woes?

    Air intrusion had crossed my mind last year, but why only during cold weather? How would I check for air intrusion are there any tests for this I can do?

    Battery Woes?

    Hey Guys, Winter is here again where I live (nothing too serious, at night between -6 to 6 Celsius) and my '90 F350 7.3L seems to have issues starting. Here is what happens from a cold start: The engine starts, it glugs for a little bit like it's struggling to run, then it dies. After...
