    1989 F350 "J hook" wiper arms

    Don’t know the part number but I was at the junk yard one day and took off the wiper arms from a 1994 f250 (which are the J hook style ) and stuck them on my 91 f350 so I could run newer style blades

    Coolant filter mounting bracket now available.

    Not a bad design, I like having the filter tucked away so that I have room to work on the rest of the motor since I have a snail that sits on top already.

    Bad Brake Booster?

    @Daniel McCurdy How much vacuum did you have once you applied the brake ? You say you changed the booster but is the vac pump still the same? A good test is to have the truck on and apply the break for 30 seconds or more and see if the pedal falls to the floor if it does bad booster (test the...

    Gauges Guidance

    EGTs / Coolant temp / Trans temp (Auto only) / oil pressure Yes you need to run power to the gauges separate from tapping into the relay for your running lights

    Front Main seal

    Yes you can but not required , I agree with @Nero , I replaced the camshaft and a mushroom lifter that wouldn’t come out the top and the roller bearing part lives in my oil pan now, did the front main seal at the same time...

    No wait to start light when hot

    Sounds like the controller is starting to go, CDD sells a nice manual glow plug switch kit for this type of headache Also once your truck is up to operating temperature it shouldn’t need glow plugs to start up again,

    Re-plumbing the fuel connect to FSS

    I would try bending it and getting them to line up and clean the fitting and replace the o-ring with something that’s compatible with fuel. Otherwise I would just make a new fitting and run hose clamps like you said

    Aluminum rad coolant

    You need to run an extra ground strap from the new radiator to the truck frame , also how many rows doesn’t matter , the size of the tubes does and how fast you can dissipate heat

    will LEDs work in 1989 stock headlight

    yes LEDS work, I run firewires for 3 years now in my '91 bricknose, plug and play , they have heat sinks and fans but draw less volts then stock and are way brighter. https://cpaddict.com/firewire-h13-led-bulb-package-fw-h13/

    That #$%^ serpentine belt chirp again!

    carb cleaner is only a temporary fix, IF your belt is under the correct amount of tension then look at the pulleys themselves. take the belt off and check each pulley to make sure is spins freely , sometimes its just a bad pulley on one of the accessories(alt/waterpump/AC/idler/tensioner. Mine...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Happy New Year OilBurners! One month in the making, had a lifter fail and wouldn't come out the top of the motor so instead had to come out the camshaft hole. Here are some pics of the adventure. Runs again now but IM going to start looking for another motor to rebuild because this one is tired...

    pivot arm bushings help

    2wd rt? Your talking about the bushing that the axle beams pivot on? if you have the tools to do it yes its a 3/10 for difficulty, I had a hard time lining everything back up to bolt together (took me 4 hours). A impact and a second set of hands will cut that time in half.

    Fuel tank switchover problem

    Good info here , don’t waist your money on a FSS from Ford (350$) like I did, Better off fixing the one you have or converting to e-pump setup and run a 38 gallon rear tank , then you don’t have to worry about the switch on the dash either and can eliminate the mechanical fuel pump as well...

    Aluminum radiator upgrade

    (Excluding fan choice ) Yes copper trumps aluminum in heat transfer in element form .... but you have only scratched the surface between the two different styles of radiators The oem style radiator is braised to the matting metal (brass ) which slows down your cooling capacity at the braised...

    clutch slowly seems to fail

    Sounds like your clutch is going bad, have you tried doing double/multiple pumps of the clutch pedal to see if it will shift in/out of reverse or when it gets stuck in first? Re-bleed the system and see if your situation gets better or worse, if you have a leak at the master or the slave...
