    Obliterated a deer..

    LUK 07-225

    All I'm going to be doing is holding heavy stuff while my uncles friend does the actual work / uses his lift and mobile trans jack to make a nightmare an easier looking job than what I'm sure it is. Is there anything outside of making sure the flywheel bolts get thread sealant I should be...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I put a rear tank in my 6.9. It never had one since I bought it. Had to also get a new tank selector valve. I got an FSV2A and wired it to the toggle switch that came with it. Seems to be working, I filled both tanks and have to wait to see which one is really running. The switch does change the...

    A great loss.

    I had to take the 7.3 out yesterday to run errands and visit my fiances grandpa, I didn't explain to her why I had to drive it but it's a story worth telling about Towcat helping me out when I was too embarrassed to keep asking for help on here. When I first bought the thing and joined the site...

    V-Belt Vacuum Pump

    So whenever I had to replace the vacuum pump on my 6.9, the vacuum pump and pulley I got from amazon did not match. The pulley was too big for the shaft of the pump. This was the pump I had gotten: (turns out it's for powerstroke/idi so it's the serp belt system one)...

    Flywheel Fiasco

    Is it better or worse than mine? I can't even find a shop willing to touch mine in western PA. No one wants to do the work the moment I mention it would be a SMF conversion. Not sure how I'm gonna get mine repaired, I have a bad rotator cuff from baseball in my good arm (lefty) and don't have...

    Problems with my new injectors very frustrating

    He took care of it and then some and was super helpful and understanding, but I had this exact same issue with one of mine. If you want to be sure and have an air nozzle with a rubber end from an air compressor, put a small amount of air into the top of the injector and hold your fingers over...

    Problems with my new injectors very frustrating

    Yeah I had that happen. The body on mine was bad, no amount of tightening could fix it so mel sent me a different injector. Swap the leaker with another and before you put the leaker back in put the top in a vice and tighten the bottom of the injector with a 5/8 flare wrench. See if the leak...

    Electical Burning after hard start

    If your starter was cranked a lot and didn't let cool, the solenoid will get hot and melt. One of your next starts, it will eventually fail one way or another. One way it just clicks and won't start, which is the more desirable way to fail. The other is it fuses together and will not stop...

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    Weird. I have a trashed 89 F150 gasser I could steal all of this from, but I somehow doubt with wrong year and wrong type of truck it would be the right distance and whatnot so I'll probably end up getting an old one Wes has. I found this...

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    Just found it.130$ for the filler neck? Lol I must be drunk at work.

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either as my station I go to has the smaller nozzles. I can't find the filler neck for a gasser that looks like the complete thing.. this is what comes up...

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    They're the best! Haha. Worst part is the nice rubber factory ones that havent rusted off since the truck sat in a heated garage most of its life, dont reach my super duty exhaust system the previous owners gave me. So close.

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    That sounds good, I might just do the steel tank and paint it. Weird you can't buy the filler necks. @Thewespaul do you happen to have a rear filler neck?

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    That's my empty area. So which 38 gallon tank has everyone had luck with? I keep finding two part numbers.

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    It is 4wd, I don't know how much further that complicates using the 38 gallon tank

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    So when I bought my 6.9, the previous owner had removed both tanks and only replaced the front tank. It's not even the right tank, it holds 24ish gallons, but runs out with 8 gallons left, doesn't have the right sending unit and was hooked up bypassing the tank selector which is zip-tied beside...

    Braking Stiff only when Applied Urgently

    Yeah I got mine at advance before too. It's a shame you can't buy our vacuum pump with the pulley on it. My 7.3 the pulley is bent and the pump is old as dirt, I figured I'd replace it over winter and was surprised you can't buy it that way. Also its beating a dead horse with stupidity of the...

    Braking Stiff only when Applied Urgently

    You could also have a small slow vacuum leak. When you press gradually at first the vacuum builds back up slowly and doesn't deplete to the point that the booster stops working. Can you hook that vacuum gauge you have inline with your vacuum lines and watch it from inside the cab if you can...

    I'm trying to find the part number for the 3g alternator that already has the dual vbelt pulleys for a 1990.. Is this it? https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-3G-Alternator-7756-3N-2G-F2UZ-10346-BRM-Fits-92-E350-Van-RWD-7-3-130-AMP-/401258487106?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1 That back plug makes it look off to...
