    fuel mileage queston

    Not sure really, my gauge is either full or 1/4 tank. I must fill up at 400 miles because at 410 it's out of fuel and gotta crack the injector lines open, fill the filter and recharge batteries a couple times to get it going. I have not switched over to the electric pump setup as the cost for...

    Overheating, odds it's the thermostat, which to get?

    It's been a week or so, original radiator is beyond economic repair, new core out the door, as little over $700. I found an aluminum 3 core on Amazon, it came today 10 earlier than the projected time. It was packaged in honey comb, and no noticeable damage, the welds appear to be top notch. I am...

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    I read your radiator adventure. The 3 core seems to be what I should do after reading through the whole blog. A friend hooked me up with an old radiator guy today and he told me 120 dollars he will do the job. I am going to try that Avenue first! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    I see the situations you all have concerning radiators. I found the original radiator in my 88 F250 to be a 300 dollars to be gone through, I simply cannot afford it. So I see the comments concerning Champion Radiators, the 4 core i have found to be reasonable in price though I am still reading...

    Overheating, odds it's the thermostat, which to get?

    Okay, finally started installing of parts, looked in the fill hole of radiator and didn't like the looks, ran a scope in the radiator!! All clogged up, no leak Mark's notes, brought it to a radiator shop, am disgusted with a near 300 dollar repair. Any recommendations for new radiator? Sent...

I was doing in town driving, 40Mph at most. I was towing a 18 ft trailer helping a friend move. During a stop to get some drinks I...

    2008 F250 4X4 6.4L

    I found a 2008 F350 4X4 for a very good price though it does not have a bed. The truck has a rear fuel tank and all the beds I can find indicate with the location of the filler, that in should be a forward fuel tank. my question is, can I relocate the rear tank to the front and purchase the...

    What's your favorite method for degreasing an IDI?

    Most coin washes will not allow engine cleaning unless there is an , oil, water separator system. Just go late at night with a pocket full of quarters and a few cans of foam degreaser!! LMAO

I screwed it into each washer 2 or 3 threads and wth a little help from a flat pry bar and a Chuck of wood, I...
