    Glow Plugs Brand Rec

    Napa sells the same garbage every other store sells but at higher prices. They may be able to order you the Motorcraft ones.

    Water pump install advice needed sooner than later.

    Some come with 2 new bolts. You must use those in the top 2 holes. Make sure to put a sealer on the threads of all the bolts to keep oil from wicking up them.

    How to bypass or jump clutch pedal start switch?

    The auto trans trucks have a plug. If you can find that unplug your switch and plug the new plug right in. On mine I just spliced the wires at the clutch.

    Starter drama. This can happen to anyone with a diesel. Or maybe just me.

    Where in Az are you moving to?

    Brake proportioning valve

    Ok it is fixed. O'riley had a remanufactured unit for $139+tax. I am not a fan of Cardon products but they are the only game in town. We will see if the quality is any good.

    Rear Brake Randomly Dragging

    I am having the same problem. Mine is the proportioning valve. I can loosen a line there and the brakes will release until I use them again.

    Brake proportioning valve

    The one on my 87 F250 has stuck and burned up the rear brakes today. I can loosen the line at the valve and the brakes release. Where can I get a new one? Everything shows 77-86... Not 87.

    Gear oil as fuel

    ATF will leave lots of Ash deposits when burned

    Gear oil as fuel

    Gear oil is not designed to be burned as a fuel. I am sure that doing so would leave some nasty deposits. Possibly caking up the rings.

    I put mine on the bottom corner of the fan shroud. It does not hang too low.

    Driveshaft support bearing

    Dunno. I tried unscrewing it. Prying etc. Gave up before I did more damage. Took it to the driveline guy but he can't even touch it till the beginning of March.

    Radiator beat down

    Major enough to spray water out and have to add it all day long.

    Radiator beat down

    Even locally sourced can be a pain. We got many direct from Champion about 100m away. The customer brings a faulty one,i order the replacement...then wait. Usually 2 days to get it to us. Mininum 3 days till the new one is here. Usually Napa,Azone etc can. Have it the next morning.

    Driveshaft support bearing

    Yes I tried channelocks and the rubber just spins. I am afraid that if I damage it I wont be able to source another in a timely fashion. I do not have access to a torch and I would not want to burn up the rubber anyway. I guess I could get my wife to help me hold it over the stove!
