    Tach has power but not reading anything

    @Dylastephens , your case is a little different, you don't have a light on at the OD switch or flashing for that matter, so you need to check the ground for the switch and find out if your getting power or not ,

    Twin I-Beam Alignment issue

    @no mufflers, yes I can see that , you changed the harder component lol, you gave the beam more curve to compensate for the amount of lift so it would sit somewhat horizontal at the end where the ball joints and camber adjuster are. I think I'm going to try the other route and make my own...

    Tach has power but not reading anything

    @Dylastephens my guess is the sensor is toast that's in the block , check voltage at the sensor and contact points at the plug for burn marks Does it work over 1k + on the rpms and reads zero under 1k? Does is shift fine at 1/2 to full throttle ? Does the trans hunt in stop go city driving...

    Twin I-Beam Alignment issue

    @no mufflers , what did you do to your I-beams, I can see you modified them, and made your own risers at the coil spring base mount. Drop brackets for the pivot arm . Does the pivot arm need to be longer? Nice work man ship on that

    Front gas tank issue.

    @jericho My bad your rt, I would go get a c-list paint sprayer to do the job , I'm going to take it a step further and use POR 15 to coat the under belly of my idi and then his method and maybe even add salt away as well

    How to get camber bushings out

    Pickle fork And trying to remove evenly worked best (not just one side) , I also soaked mine with PB blaster for 30 minutes and then Started to remove , also if you have a big sledgehammer , this also helps to loosen up the camber nut bushing by hitting the knuckle/housing that the bushing sit in.

    Truck shakes/bounces violently when braking hard at higher speeds

    @Suleiman Saadeh Ok, Test 1 tie rods , you need two ppl or one person and a video camera 1.Turn the the key to accessories or one click forward so you can turn the wheel freely . 2. One person needs to turn the wheel back and forth about 1/8 to 1/4 turn , not fast but not slow either , the...

    Truck shakes/bounces violently when braking hard at higher speeds

    @Suleiman Saadeh Rotors to start, could also be worn ball joints , worn out tie rods , unbalanced tires ,. Easy ways to tell if it is. How much play you got in your steering wheel ? If you get rotors do the pads at the same time don't be cheap, How's your A/C working out ?

    Where to plug this vacuum line in

    My 2 cents If your pump doesn't reach 20 inhg in 35 seconds from start up , you have a bad pump , but your hose running from your pump to the fitting on the fire wall should be connected on my to a gauge (detached from system) if it takes 30-60 seconds you have a weak pump . If you have...

    Front gas tank issue.

    @notenuftime , good looking Ford , you have the visor above the windshield that I've been looking for , Good setup to have out there , how many times you cycle the plugs in the winter ? my next question was going to be how you keep your underbelly for the salt that's on the road. I'm from...

    A/C clutch engages the disengages

    @Suleiman Saadeh , to let freon out you just connect the top part with out the can to the lower a/c line like you did when you filled it and squeeze and it release into atmosphere . When the a/c is on full blast does the needle spike ? I think it's your compressor if you just are hitting it...

    Another 7.3 crank no start

    I agree with bronco , you need to check to see if your lift pump it working properly Do you see any sort of wetness near your fuel heater or under the fuel filter is that release screw to drain could be loose , I would replace your injector o-rings at the minimum Check all your fuel line...

    A/C clutch engages the disengages

    @Suleiman Saadeh I think you have the opposite problem. I believe you have too much freon , if you did check your wiring and it is in good working condition , and mechanically sound then you need to get a gauge on the low side of your A/C line and watch to see it before your a/c kicks off and...

    Front gas tank issue.

    @notenuftime , no problem and glad it worked out , good thing you posted it up. Also you should be running a fuel cleaner every 3k. With how dirty diesel is , My suggestion is diesel kleen, this gets rid of stiction on the fuel side for injectors , which is all idi's have to worry about but...

    Front gas tank issue.

    Up by the fuel filter there is a schrader Valve above the filter laying horizonal facing your drivers fender rt near your fuel return line (valve stem of a tire for looks comparison ) While the truck is running , get a rag to sit under it and push the stem in with a screw driver, you should get...
