    BlackStone Report Not What Expected.

    I long gave up on worrying about the reports, if I did I would lose sleep and my truck would quit the next day. But, I still get the reports to see if I have oil or antifreeze in them. Here is my most recent report, gosh, I don't know why this thing is still running.... Wayne

    Air Compressor

    I bought a Viair system, and it is electric. Works great, and not my 88 F-250 has a real horn that gets the respect it deserves... LOL! Wayne

    Air Compressor

    I put one on the frame rail, on the side opposite the gas tanks. Air tank is in the same spot. Wayne

    NEW PAINT..BEFORE PICS....FINISHED PICS TOMMOROW.

    Looks nice! Are those new head lights assemblies? If so, are they OEM or aftermarket? I'm getting ready to do my 88, and wonder if the quality of the aftermarket chrome bumpers and headlights is ok. thanks Wayne

    Guages

    I have ISSPRO pyro, Oil pressure and water temp. The pyro has been great. The water and temp are "electrical", which means they have a sending unit and electonic box. I have replaced the oil gauge twice and the water temp twice because the sensors in on the engine went bad, and ISSPRO will not...

    Who to use for oil analysis?

    I use blackstone, I'd be happy to send you one of my reports if you send me an email. I was going to post it here, but it is a pdf file with my personal info etc on it. I use them for my 88 7.3, my wifes 06 Jetta TDI, and my diesel tractor. Wayne

    Ebay Rebuilt IDI's Starting at 1$

    Frankly, I suspect there is a problem with that auction.... I could be wrong.. but I'd make sure he really isn't from Lagos Nigeria... Not that I have anything against Lagos.... Wayne

    88 F-250 Factory tow harness

    I know, I'm a dumb A__, but when I bought my truck 20 years ago, it had the factory tow package, but I lost (probably tossed out 15 years ago) the plug that connects to the brake controller and the one that goes to the trailer in the back. For the past few years, I've used my brake controller...

    Daul mass flywheel to solid, what clutch to get???

    We just put a LUK SMF flywheel in my 88, and while it works very well, there is very noticable gear noise when starting out. I don't like it, and frankly I wish we put the DMF in. Too late now. As Cheaper Jeeper suggested, I put in two gallons or 15W50 Mobile one, which is twice as much as you...

    Paint

    Yea... I have a few friends who own body shops around here. Bottom line is, you get what you pay for! And a good paint booth costs 100k, building rent, electicity, office help, blah blah blah. I won't tell you what they expect to do on the book rates for repair... I can't comment on your maco...

    Paint

    That depends.... On what you use. Dupont Chroma clear "clear" is around 170 a gallon.... Base coat is probably 140 a gallon. Variprime self etching primer is like 70 a quart... The prices of the "real" stuff like Dupont and PPG is crazy. Not to say you can't get a good base clear from...

    DMF Part #????

    OK, I have a new old stock dual mass flywheel that somebody told me was for my 88 7.3. The part number on the new flywheel is F7TA-6447-CA. According to my Ford dealer, the correct number is F2TZ-6477B. Thinking maybe I have a powerstroke flywheel, I asked what the part number for a 95 7.3 was...

    LUK and Tranny noise?

    Replaced my Dual mass flywheel with a LUK, and it works fine, but I do hear tranny noise now when starting out. Is this anything to be concerned about? It did not do it with the OEM flywheel. thanks Wayne

    New starter.... WOW....

    I've chased a lot of starting problems in the past year.. New Beru GP's and controller, it was 20 degrees out the other day. GP came on for 13 seconds exactly. Started up in half a second. I hear there is actually a chart which shows the GP time versus temperature? Anyone ever see that? Wayne
