    Has anyone seen 3 leaf front spring on 4x4 F350

    Thus why the ttb springs ride so rough with a mono-beam versus the TTB. Make sense.

    Has anyone seen 3 leaf front spring on 4x4 F350

    I thought the TTB springs had a negative arch? In other words, higher in the middle, lower on each end.

    Has anyone seen 3 leaf front spring on 4x4 F350

    The springs hanging out and cut off square like that do not look factory. Just get in there and take a leaf out.

    2wd front ibeam axel swap question. NOT 4WD*

    Yep. And when you make an adjustment, you can't use your tape measure unless you have the tires sitting on roller plates. So you just have to make an adjustment a certain portion of a turn on the adjuster, tighten it up, then back up and move forward and then measure it again.

    Rear exhaust hanger

    Here is some on Amazon. Probably last a year before they crack up. You literally cannot buy anything anymore that has a any quality to it. Rubber fuel hose I bought on there has started cracking on the outside and it's not a year old. But everyone sells the same junk, so what do you do...

    C6 Torque Converter Prime

    I do not think anyone ever has burnt up a torque convertor running it dry till you get fluid in the trans. Never heard of one case of it happening.

    6.9 idi, no power, but starts perfect and no smoke.

    Same exact problem? He had two different problems. Low power and then it would not start. I would start a new thread and describe your problems and a little history on your truck.

    Stripped Bolt on C6

    See if you can feel around in the bottom the hole. Sometimes the holes are a little deeper than the bolt with a couple of threads left at the bottom. If you have room you can try a longer bolt and see if it catches those threads. If it does, you may need to cut a longer bolt just the right...

    Slave Cylinder Bleeding Trouble

    If you do not have far to go you can drive it without the clutch working just to get it out of there. 1st. Put the trans in neutral and start the engine and let it warm up good so it starts easily. 2d. Stop the engine, put it in 1st gear or reverse, and practice a little bit. Start the...

    This works well also to seal against diesel and gasoline.

    Thinking Of Plumbing My Two Tanks Together

    Tell us how it works at the fill station and how much fuel total you can get in it. I am wondering how much fuel you can get into the rear tank after filling the front tank. As your filling the front tank some fuel has to be making it's way to the rear tank. If you get 19+ gallons in the...

    2wd front ibeam axel swap question. NOT 4WD*

    u2slow is correct, if your ride height is too high then that will pigeon toe the tires in at the bottom, out at the top, and make them wear on the outside edge. I assume you have also checked the toe? There are many ways to do it, but you need slide plates to do it correctly. Or have a flat...

    2wd front ibeam axel swap question. NOT 4WD*

    If you think you have problems now getting a alignment on a twin-I-beam, wait and see if you find a solid front axle. To get those aligned the shop has to take chains and a hydraulic jack and bend the axle to get those in alignment if they have king pins.

    Oil Leaking Down Filter

    Another thing I have noticed on these diesels. You cannot hand tighten the oil filter like you normally do on other vehicles. On other vehicles if you hand tighten it 3/4-1 turn, you are good. On these you have to take the filter wrench(which I had to buy since this filter is larger than the...

    Putting the oversize breather pipe up high into the filler neck is the best option. I didn't do this, just ran the hose as high as possible up into the side of the bed cavity with a screen over it, and I had no dirt or water problems, but I would get a little spit of fuel foam out of the pipe...

    Thinking Of Plumbing My Two Tanks Together

    All fuel tanks need a vent. When the weather warms up during the day the fuel will expand as it warms up and needs a place to go. You are correct, the fuel cap lets air in, but it will not let air out. That is what the small vent hose is for. The little plastic thing on the end of the hose...

    Worn traction beam bushings?

    The upper balljoint fits into a eccentric sleeve. These sleeves or bushings are available in different degrees of adjustment. Problem is, it's hard to guess, since this eccentric bushing adjusts the balljoint in all directions. So it adjusts the top of the wheel in and out as well as front to...

    Glow Plug Controller Melting

    The ground is for the controller brain. It's not for the glowplug relay.

    Worn traction beam bushings?

    You should be able to look at the center pivot bushings. If the rubber is hanging out or the center bolt doesn't look to be in the center, then they are bad. Don't back your truck up and stop and then eyeball the frontend. All these twin I beam and TTB 4x4 setups will go wonky when you back...

    All fuel tanks are setup with a reserve. If you use 16 gallons out of that 19 gallon tank, you are considered empty.

    Glow Plug Controller Melting

    You do not need the controller, but of course you do need the relay. The relay has the two large terminals for the big power going to the glowplugs, and the small terminals on the relay to control the relay. All they did, and all you need to do, is put the key on hot red wire to one of the...

    Thinking Of Plumbing My Two Tanks Together

    I think you might want the equalizer line larger also. Say you are filling the back tank first. As you are filling the back tank, it's going to "leak" to the front tank through the 5/16 line. Once the rear tank is full, you stop and move to the front tank, all the while the back tank is still...

    I believe you are correct on those sizes for pickups, and the cab and chassis tanks are different weird sizes and capacities.

    Backpressure on exhaust

    I wonder if the price would change much with 2 1/2? I bet 3 inch is a pain to run and you are still N/A. I am all about the stainless though. I wonder what kind of stainless the will use? The OEM's use the stainless that can rust a little bit, but lasts a very long time. Then you have the...
