The "Spot The Problem" Thread

FordGuy100 · Aug 21, 2017

So I had to move the truck down to our new home about 200 miles away. The last time it was really driven was when I drove from Tx to Or after it had sat for 3 years. It has sat for about 3 years this time too. I did drive to town a few times in those 3 years, but nothing far.

I bled injectors, started it up, loaded with most of my shop stuff, and headed out. Hazed for about 15 minutes then cleared up. Ran great.

no it just spun around. LOL

making some good time... LOL

Yeah that was an interesting development. I got onto I5, put the tach to 2500-2600 RPM's and let it rip. I guess the tach bounces a few hundred RPM's cause my wife told me I was cruising 75-85 mph. It used some fuel.

Nope cant say that I can spot the problem....

When I first put my truck back together and went for a spin, it was not happy. Struggled to accelerate and lots of smoke. It took a good 15 minutes before it started feeling normal again. All the gauges worked except for temperature...I should probably look into that hehe.

problem> your factory guages don't work? or just the fact that you are missing the factory diesel tach?

FordGuy100 · Aug 25, 2017

Missing a factory tach is more of an option based problem lol.

I was talking about the speedo not working at all. As you can see, less then half the gauges actually work. It is what it is

Your speedo is cable driven, the internal cable is probable broken.

Appears passenger tire is straight, drivers is turned out left a bit.
Or are the center cabs covering the locking hubs?

I hope that's a 2WD truck, otherwise I'm not sure how you are going to get to the lockouts. Are those rear hubcaps on the front wheels?

Thewespaul · Aug 25, 2017

Nope and nope, 2wd truck with fresh alignment

compressionignitionrules · Aug 25, 2017

I see too wide of rims for the tire size, and a bent sway bar bracket on left side of the frame.
wife saw this and says L wheel is closer to the fender than the R .

Thewespaul · Aug 26, 2017

Getting close! It does seem like it's closer but the wheels are actually straight and aligned...
