    PSA: For those replacing 4wd front shackle bushings with polyurethane, check your shackle first.

    If you have 4wd and are planning to replace your front shackle bushings with polyurethane bushings, check your shackles first. Some aftermarket shackles can have a different bore diameter for the bushing that bolts to the frame. The difference can be as much as 1mm. The polyurethane bushings...

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    In the process of putting the front end of my truck back together after doing axle pivot, front leaf spring and shackle bushings. 1991 f250 4x4. I am having difficulty getting the axle pivot bushings to line up enough to get the bolts through. I dropped the whole front end at once and did all...

    I need help routing this wiring harness.

    For the life of me I cant figure out where the highlighted portion of this wiring harness goes. Everything Ive tried so far either gets in the way of the throttle or is too short and the connector at the end cant reach its wheel well connector. I know what all of the connectors go to, so I dont...

    Engine making a "knocking" sound and whistling from the exhaust. What things should i check?

    As the title says, my truck has started making some noises. Its a 1991 f250 7.3 na. Here's a video put i together with what it sounds like I popped tested the injectors and they all tested at ~1600psi and had good spray patterns. I know that is really low but its not quite "bad" either. One of...

    Heres how I added an additional fuel filter that reuses the engine oil filter.

    I added an additional fuel filter that allows me to reuse the engine oil filter after an oil change. After clogging a handful of the stock fuel filters on my truck I decided to add an additional filter that uses a cheaper filter do to the majority of the filtering. I cant afford an oil...

    Zf5 inspection without fully tearing down?

    Is there a way to inspect a zf5 without disassembling it? I dropped it since it was making lots of noise. It would whine and growl at idle with the clutch pedal released. Sound would go away when clutch pressed in. Now that its out it clearly has a bad clutch release bearing. What's not clear...

    Disappointed in the Facet Duralift electric lift pump for running wmo

    Installed the facet 40223 9-11 psi pump on my truck. I have to say I'm disappointed with its performance. I find that it cannot pump enough when running on wmo. Im running a blend of about 85% wmo and the rest diesel. Under moderate to heavy acceleration the fuel filter light comes on. Even on...

    Can vegetable oil be mixed with diesel and or wmo?

    I already run a blend of wmo in my rear tank and diesel in my front tank. My dad thought that I could use vegetable oil and proceeded to collect about 3 gallons from his friends neighbor. Can I add it to either the diesel or wmo tank? Obviously I would filter it first and stuff, but I'm...

    Coolant temperature switch and coolant overheat switch fail at the same time?

    A few days ago I lightly pressure washed my engine bay. Held the wand at least a foot away except right by the fuel filter and number 1 injector to clean out some fuel/oil that accumulated there. Since then I've had some electrical issues. Both the coolant overheat switch and the coolant...

    Fuel filter light comes on fuel pressure reads good.

    Just installed a facet duralift 40223, the 9-11 psi pump with a weatherpack connector. Now my fuel filter light is coming on under heavy acceleration. Before it never came on with the mechanical pump. I did read in the other forum threads that that light means a vacuum is being pulled on the...

    Can the mechanical fuel pump be left on temporarily after installing an electric lift pump?

    Im installing a facet duralift pump in my 7.3. My question is can the mechanical fuel pump be left on unplumbed temporarily? Without fuel running through it to keep temperature down could the diaphragm overheat and fail puking engine oil out the side? Id really rather not find out while driving...
