    Need advice with my 1992 F250 7.3 IDI

    I needed to replace the left rocker cover gasket to cure the oil running down the block onto the filter problem. From your picture, it doesn't appear the oil is coming from the filter not seating, or at least not ONLY from there.

    How often to check timing?

    I don't really have any of the symptoms described above, but it would be interesting to check the timing on my newly acquired 1988 F250 IDI 7.3 since I know nothing of its history. Odometer reads 27,000 but I have no idea how many other times it may have done so. Could you tell me about the...

    glow plug test

    Even though the weather is cold here, my 1988 F250's non-turbo 7.3 IDI wait light has started turning off unusually quickly and the relay now starts clicking immediately as the light goes out (there's no longer a delay after the light goes out before the relay starts clicking).

    U-Joint Recommendation 1988 F-250 4x4 Stick

    Thanks for the replies. I guess for the moment I'll try tightening the somewhat sloppy yoke on the shaft and see how it behaves. I appreciate the recommendations re: u-joints and will no doubt go with greaseable. I will also search for the thread on removing the factory crush sleeve LCAM-01XA...

    U-Joint Recommendation 1988 F-250 4x4 Stick

    1. I have a mishmosh of u-joints in my new (to me) 7.3 IDI XLE 4x4 pickup. Some have no zerk while others have the zerk in an ridiculous location. I would like to replace all either with permanently-lubricated u-joints, if these even exist, or preferably with u-joints which have the zerk in...
