    Front Cab Mounts

    Update, stopped by a local body shop and the owner I've known for a long time. I explained my situation and he said "Ray, we do this all the time" So, with that he suggested to drive my truck over, he'll craw under and around and see what is needed to get it to PASS Pa INSPECTION. He only welds...

    Front Cab Mounts

    I appreciate your advice, I wouldn't think "bolted cab mount panels" are acceptable or were even an option. I do believe the rot it also going up the firewall to where there isn't enough existing material/metal to be substantial to bolt or weld to. By the way, when looking up under the drivers...

    Front Cab Mounts

    You're assuming for decades of ownership I haven't hosed the undercarriage. After ever snow storm and from road salt I would indeed wash the underside. One thing I regret not doing since day one was...I should have gotten under there with a bug sprayer loaded with WD40. I believe that would have...

    Front Cab Mounts

    Mine look worse, sections of floor are gone and the cab is sitting on the frame rails.

    Front Cab Mounts

    Very, actually kind of heartbreaking.

    Front Cab Mounts

    I should have made clear, it's not the frame mounts but the sheetmetal under the cab that is rotted away.

    Front Cab Mounts

    Well, my truck will not pass Pennsylvania Inspection because both front cab mounts are rusted away (not the frame mounts but under the floorpan corners) and it's ugly under there. Question...I asked a fella I know from a body shop about it, he said..."Ray the parts are cheap however, to do it...

    Don't Ya Hate It When...

    I have noticed some 1000 watt block heaters on eBay but was concerned where it's made > > "Made for us right here in the good 'ol USA, NOT China!" Sometimes more watts just burn-out quicker...

    Don't Ya Hate It When...

    ...it's 7 degrees out (windchill -15) and you plug-in your block heater, and the darn thing starts weeping coolant! No doubt the O-ring has gotten hard, only weeps when I plug it in, not before or after engine is running. Grrrrrr, not the time of year to be changing a block heater outside in the...

    Damp Vally Pan...Wet With Fuel

    Is there a visible weep hole on the IP, if so where it it located?

    Damp Vally Pan...Wet With Fuel

    As mentioned in my first post...Mel rebuilt my IP about 8 years ago and with it now having 40,000 + - miles on the IP rebuild. I would hope the IP isn't in need of another rebuild so soon, heck the original IP went over 22 years and had about 170,000 miles on it. The engine ran great but the IP...

    Damp Vally Pan...Wet With Fuel

    Will do asap (in a few days)...fingers crossed it's the Olive on the hard fuel line.

    Damp Vally Pan...Wet With Fuel

    were you able to determine that with the IP on the engine?

    Damp Vally Pan...Wet With Fuel

    What "stuff" is needed? "can't get it closer"??? What all must come-off to change that O-ring...if it's that? Thanks!

    Cam in low position?.

    Not everyone wants an electric fuel pump...and the need to carry a spare. When they fail it's fun replacing it laying on your back with fuel dripping and running down your arm.

    Damp Vally Pan...Wet With Fuel

    Mel rebuilt my IP about 7 years ago, actually the very first "Baby Moose" (I named it). Been noticing the valley pan is damp/wet with fuel (disgusted with that fuel smell) Hoping it's the Olive in the fuel hard line that runs from the filter to the center of the IP. Where do I purchase the the...

    Non Motorcraft 7.3 GP Controllers?

    Yes, I hear the "click"...and as mentioned prior every test in the book tested to be OK.

    Non Motorcraft 7.3 GP Controllers?

    I was contemplating having a spare and if the aftermarket controllers were decent testing it on the truck.

    Non Motorcraft 7.3 GP Controllers?

    Last night with Test-Light & Multi-Meter in hand went through all the diagnostic tests steps listed in my Haynes Diesel Manual, and all steps checked-out ok. And I'm getting a decent GP burn on a dead-cold engine. However, (and no visible fuel wetness around injectors/return lines etc) at the...

    Turn Signal Cam (1988 and other years)

    Well over a decade ago (more like 20 years) Ford did carry the entire assembly, the wire snake that went down the steering column...but Ford never sold just the Cam that breaks, and why companies like Dorman etc started making them. I think way back then I spent close to $100 just because of the...

    Turn Signal Cam (1988 and other years)

    My local Junkyards don't stock 30 year old vehicles anymore. My father has a 1990 F250 4x4 gasser sitting out back rotting away...but my way of thinking is; 30 year old plastic is still 30 years old, if you get my meaning.

    Power services diesel fuel supplement

    Used it for decades... switched to Howes last winter because it's less $$$ I stopped adding TCW3 to my fuel (1 oz per gallon) it caused smoking at idle.

    Turn Signal Cam (1988 and other years)

    Ugh...with a 31 year old Truck something is ALWAYS breaking! Second time in 4 years my Turn Signal Cam busted...turn signal arm doesn't lock in up-down position. Anyhow, last time I got the Turn Signal CAM from RockAuto part # SM16 ($7,22 + shipping) has anyone else had better luck with this...

    Ford headlights stink - what to do?

    "Ford Headlights in the 89 era stink"...seriously??? I clearly remember when I first got my 1988 NEW and driving down to Daytona for Bike Week the Headlights were AMAZING! Even my GF was blown away how far & wide they projected on the pitch black I-95 and how bright they were...and to on-coming...
