    blocks

    I installed one inch custom blocks in the front of my 250, i used new bolts through the springs and block for the locating pin, ive had people tell me this is illegal, and they will fall off and what not, but ive had no problems, i dont understand how they will fall out when you still use the...

    Front end weight question???

    you need to remember that the 250s had weak front springs and terrible ball joints, so if they are stock, they will wear out, i understand people install plows and whatnot and within 2 or 3 winters the front ends are shot. I would try not to leave the crane on during transport.

    shake rattle and roll

    If you are running larger, wider tires, and they are getting lower on tread, they will hop across the road, i had this issue with my 92 like all the time with 33s on it and i put new tires on and never had the problem since, so before you stick alot of money in it, check your tread, also i think...

    hitch receiver with 8" drop bumper

    If its a " Mr. Pickup" bumper, i bought a Reese brand that would fit my year truck, either from Farm and Fleet or Tractor Supply, dont recall which, all i had to do was drill holes in my frame to mount it, I dont know about the weight, but thats what i did and it worked great!!!

    Front springs DONE! Gained 2 1/2 inches

    i never actually had it aligned after i did it, but my guess would be about about 7- 10 degrees off

    What coolant can i use

    I work at a Heavy duty truck shop and there have been plenty of times when the green EC antifreeze has come out due to making repairs, failures, etc. And the red ELC fleetguard has been put in, i thought i would be ok with it, but just checking first.

    What coolant can i use

    I was just wondering if i completely flushed my system if i could run the red or yellow ELC in my truck so i dont have to keep up with my DCA. Any suggestions, comments, or concerns to doing this???

    Front springs DONE! Gained 2 1/2 inches

    What year truck did you do the front add a leaf to and was it 250 or 350, and roughly how much did it cost you including the alignment, i have a 92 F250 that i added to the front to clear larger tires, and the camber is way off now, just wondering what you did???

    clutch bushing

    Just wondering what you guys are using for a clutch rod bushing on the clutch pedal??? Im sure someone has found something good to use other than the $10 bushing from Ford. The eyelet on the on the clutch rod is wore some, but the pin in the pedal is pretty good shape. Any suggestions or ideas...

    Starting Issue

    Not sure about starting after 6 hours, anytime it sits that longer than that is overnight, a day, a week, i have noticed though that it doesnt matter if it sits for 10 minutes or 2 hours it will do the same thing, sometimes 2 or 3 starts in a row, then it might start 10 times with no issues. I...

    Starting Issue

    Starting Issue

    I have this starting issue on my N/A 7.3. It starts perfectly first start of the day. After that(and not every time), i have to crank and crank on it to get it to start. I have changed filters multiple times, and my fuel filter light will flicker once in awhile, just wondering if i have a lift...
