    Transfer Case Lube (1988)

    Found this... and I believe it takes 2-qts ??? "****For the 1980 to 1987 model years, Ford recommended Dexron II Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) for 4x4 Transfer Cases. Dexron II was replaced by Dexron III. For the 1987-1996 (Bronco, F150 and 1988-1997 (F250, F350) model years, Ford...

    Transfer Case Lube (1988)

    Time to change out the transfer Case lube on my 1988 F250. Refresh my memory, I believe it's also what my C6 Transmission takes Mercon/Dexron-3 ... correct and approx capacity? (not interested in synthetics) I'll also be dropping the transmission-pan to replace the filter. Thanks for the feedback.

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    Just curious 'if' you performed the test for the GP female ends as I did? I can absolutely agree that resistance can build up in those little push-on plugs. I've always put a little dielectric grease in them to help make a better connection. Question... what plug-ends did you put on the wire...

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    I did have corrosion at that connection (multi pin plug) with the two heavy yellow wires. Cleaned all that up and made a better connection and all was good for over a year and a half. But again, just the other day I performed all the steps to test the GP and Controller and everything passed.

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    So no one has had a GP Controller act-up to maybe what I'm experiencing? BTW... my local Ford stealer where I purchased the prior GP Controller (1.5 years ago) is trying to screw me out of the three year warranty.

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    Owned my 1988 F250 7.3 since new. Over the decades I've diagnosed and repaired the usual 'rapid clicking' issue from a bad GP or a few. Last year I diagnosed and replaced the faulty GP Controller with another GP Controller unit from Ford. Now what's happening... #1 sometimes getting the rapid...

    Front differential drip

    Ha, mine has been weeping for many years and I'll just top it off with more gear lube... and it'll stay weeping cause I'm not about to do that job laying on my back on cardboard, outside in the elements ... (I'm too old for that bs) Not everyone is lucky enough to have an amazing, clean shop and...

    Different Oil Filter (read)

    For decades I used Purolator but 'now' no one carries them! Sooooo, I need you experts to tell me this is a good choice. Honestly, the insides look like the $5.00 STP Autozone filter.

    Showerhead filter alternative?

    Years ago when BOTH my shower heads broke off, I dropped both tanks (thankfully very clean inside) cleaned the outside and brushed-on gray rustoleum (looked pretty!) Then ran fuel rated hoes on the inside with maybe stiff tubing inside to keep it rigid and just an 1/8" or so off the bottom of...

    C6 fluid change advice?

    No drain on my C6 (1988) ... and I've rotated it several times to check.

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    As I recall reading... engine/IP timing that is too advanced erodes the GP tips.

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Update... for giggles I double dosed with Howe's and made it through the low single digits without a hiccup... AND... I never even plugged her in. After a 12 second GP burn she lit right off, started like it was summer. Maybe I'll go back to adding the TCW3 back in for lube and hope...

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Thanks for the feedback, being I had it and in preparation for the weekends single digit temps I double dosed the Howes. However, very disappointing to see that video showing how poor it is with adding lubricaty... even worst vs straight diesel! For years I added Walmart two-stroke Tcw3 to my...

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Anyone else using this product? Years ago I was all about Power Service but saw this at the local Walmart for less $. Some very low single digit Temps coming here this weekend and I certainly don't want to get stuck.

    So I took this off (parking brake assembly)

    Update... AutoZone part #C1247 (front brake cable) pictured above worked just fine on my 1988 155" wheelbase F250. While installing I had some worries as it's some 5" shorter vs the OE cable I took out. I also cleaned and used a graphite 'drying' lube on all moving brake-pedal assemble parts and...

    FYI... Auto Zone part #C1247 in my above post worked just fine. While installing I had some serious concerns as it's some 5' shorter vs the OE front cable. Also, I used a graphite cable lube that 'dries' on all moving brake pedal assembly parts... everything is working like new.

    Removed my e brake assembly and the pencil points to the area that needs a squirt of WD40 etc and it will start ratcheting again. Now I need the front brake cable for my 155" wheel base 1988 F250. Getting the OE cable out front the floor was a ****.

    So I took this off (parking brake assembly)

    I read a review that ... 'it's about 117 long." However, that's not for 'my' year, it doesn't have the protective conduit where it runs through the floor or the rubber plug that seals the cab floor... it looks nothing like what I have.

    So I took this off (parking brake assembly)

    Comment and a question: Comment... for those wondering 'why' their pedal stopped ratcheting when depressed, the pencil points to where a squirt of WD40 is needed and it's fixed! Question... my 1988 F250 has a 155" wheelbase and my OE cable measures 117" long. However, Rock Auto and Autozone...
