    So what did you do with your truck today?

    They say you never really get rid of the red dye once it is in a system. It is one thing you never want to get caught having in your fuel tank. They will fine you from the day you bought the truck. There are construction business here that never run red dye just so they never have to worry about...

    ZF-5 transmission not engaging

    That would not explain the not going into rev? I would tend to think the transmission. I wonder when shifting the transfer case if he can feel it locking in each range?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well my 93 IDIT dually has been really hard to start of late, wait light would go right out so had time to today to work on it. Two bad GPs figured as much. put a new set of Motorcraft ones even though the other good ones had a good reading. Then change out the GP harness, got a new one from...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    If you have any anti-freeze at all in the system it has to get pretty cold to freeze up. But it can slush up and not circulate, and driving in cold weather makes it slush up faster , one needs to block off the radiator so more engine heat stays in the system. Have had the happen before .

    Air Intrusion

    After having starting issues with one of my trucks am a real believer in installing a check valve before the mechanical fuel pump. Solved my starting problems.

    1994 F350 IDI Non Turbo

    Have you tried cracking each injector line to see if one of the injectors is bad? I would do that first then move onto the compression test. On the starting , is gp system ok also install a clear return line at filter head to see in getting air. I would also suggest a check valve in the fuel...

    The best budget stater?

    On my newer truck with an automatic I don't want the cheapest starter out there. If it dies out in the woods, miles from no where and no cell service it is dead and no pull starting it. Put a Napa starter on it some time back and it went out in 6 months. Luckly I was in their parking lot at the...

    Changing Our Own Tires

    Lots of time I just pack my Milwaukee 1/2 impact, no problem with it. Now if one is talking about buying new tires and changing them , it just not worth any kind of savings one might think they are getting.

    I have that IDIT manual, lots of good information in it. Anyone that owns and works on his own 7.3 non or turbo needs one.

    Best gaskets and bearings.

    desired clearance on connecting rods, 0.0011-0.0036 mains 0.0018-0.0036 although allowed on mains is 0.0018-0.0046, crankshaft endplay 0.0025-0.0085. Plastigauge reading needs to be without any oil other wise it will give a false reading.

    Best gaskets and bearings.

    The thing about the grease is if you happen to by any chance get any dirt /grit in there you don't see it , where as with the lube you can. You don't know how many times saw this at my dads machine shop . Guys put them together had problem and bought them to us only to find the bearings and...

    Best gaskets and bearings.

    Clevite, Sealed Power, Federal-Mogul, Fel-pro, Victor. Don't know how much engine building you have done, I strong recommend not using engine assemble grease on the bearing but rather assembly lube is much better.
