    08 axle in 1993 f350

    not sure on the springs if they will work or not. I think they do. are you just doing the rear axle? your wheels will not match. also I have heard that the stock vacuum assist brakes will feel soft with the rear disc brakes. Most people swap to hydroboost to fix this issue. I believe it is...

    woah. I know guys have complained about shipping damage from Champion and not great quality leading to leaks fairly quickly, but I have never heard of that!! looks like a crosseyed drunkard freehand put that together. they better take that back, obviously it was nothing you did!!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I know you guys are joking and believe me i know tired with 3 kids under 7, a 6 month old puppy and my own construction business, but this fatigue was more than that. for the first two days I could barely get out of bed. Literally walking to the couch (and we have an 900 sqft house) was...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Does the engine sound loud? 1986 F250 with about 130K - Is timing necessary?

    he doesn't get on very often anymore, but @icanfixall is down in southern California i believe. and as far as I know he was the first to lend out timing meters as a service on this site. I don't think he lends them out anymore, but if you went to him I am sure he could help you.

    Wood u buy a high mileage turbo 6.9?

    Truck Registration

    Yeah like me. Just paid mine last month, $350 :kick::fan: I was curious so I looked at how they broke it down. $119 for registration, $18 license fee, $204 Weight fee and $9 for county fees. guess they think my truck is a heavy pig.

    Air to Water Intercooler

    Little late chiming in. Your kit is slightly different from mine, but mine was modified by the previous owner. All that said, I love mine. My truck is a crew cab long bed, utility bed, with lumber rack and 35" tires. the boxes is always filled with tools and so is the back seat. I usually...

    How to bypass or jump clutch pedal start switch?

    Just be careful. Because you can now start your truck in gear and the starter will move your truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to bypass or jump clutch pedal start switch?

    I have used a paper clip in a pinch. Unbend it and shove the ends into to female end of the connector. It effectively ties the two wires together with the ability to easily undo it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coolant boiling

    So do you have 100% undiluted coolant in your truck except for that first gallon? That really shouldn’t cause any issues other than being more expensive and it won’t cool as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Mine too. Right down to the missing driver door panel. Mine doesn’t have any parts, just tools and construction supplies. And I have a crew cab and utility bed. [emoji51][emoji2357] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    Get a sheet of thick plastic to throw between the bed and the belt. That way it will slide more easily and won’t get down between the ribs on the floor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leaking water pump

    Leaking water pump

    I came out to my truck this morning to a big streak of something underneath it. I determined it was coolant. after some investigating it looks like the water pump is leaking out the weep hole. what do you guys think? Is the flowkooler pump worth it? this was a new motorcraft and it...

I mostly use my backseat to hold extra tools and supplies for work and while i love having...
