    Bad oil leak at the base of the dipstick tube.

    I ordered some more rings I'm going to try just replacing the o-ring I understand the inner part gets mushroomed and then has to be replaced I think you should be able to avoid that if you don't over tighten it. Thank you for getting me started in the right direction

    1995 F super duty automatic 2 wheel drive 7.5 engine obd 1

    Now what this truck is doing we started out cold engine it runs pretty good you get up around 1500 RPM and you’ll start noticing a miss it’ll run like that for 10 or 20 miles. It’s warmed up pretty good at 5 miles. Now you’re getting that miss but it is tolerable. Then it starts getting much...

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    I did have to balance the drive shaft I'm still not satisfied with that but the major problem I found was the wheels are not right for the axle. that allowed for the wheels to be off center. The rear end out of that truck come from an earlier model they took the earlier model wheels with the...

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    More information, here's what I did. First thing I removed the rear drive shaft and check for vibration, ran pretty smooth. That eliminated a lot. So I'm checking around looking for anything that might be out of order everything seems to be tight and relatively clean so I hooked the rear drive...

    Not so good to go. Got 86 out on the highway today and the drive shaft or something in that drivetrain it's not balanced vibration is fierce. I'm sure I can find a local shop to make me up a drive shaft. Thing I'm wondering is. If I'm going to do this new drive shaft do I really want to stay...

    Well we got all that stuff done and got some new tires on it and it looks like it's good to go. Just wondering what a truck like this might be worth. Thanks again for all the help!!

    My master cylinder the cast iron one bolted right up the depths for the rod is the same on both cylinders. Sure hope I don't have to get into that pedal travel adjustment I don't have a clue how that works. Guess I'm just gonna hook it up see how it works. I'm changing my power steering gearbox...

    Is that the 92 that you're working on? I see it has the aluminum master cylinder mine is 86 and has the cast iron master cylinder. I would hope to get by with only two hours labor as you did but I already have that much in getting the old parts from donor truck lol. I don't yet see any reason to...

    Thanks for the reply turned out to be the vacuum booster. So I've been looking for a good reason to change over to hydroboost. I have the booster and the power steering pump on my 96 F superduty parts truck and I was really surprised to see that they both will interchange on this 86, at least it...

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    Brakes are working like there is no boost no power assist I did put new calipers on the front and replaced one wheel cylinder in the back strange thing I noticed while I was in the process of bleeding them. I usually let them gravity drain, but they would not I barely got anything to drip out at...
