    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    Dang. Popped off the slave cyl and can move the clutch pedal freely after. Must be an issue with clutch internals. Wonder if seized TOB or something. Not really able to view everything in there but looks like I’m hosed for the time being.

    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    I really try to baby the clutch too and stay in neutral whenever possible. Separated the heim joint and pedal assy works fine in isolation. Removed the flywheel cover ajar and from what is visible there is nothing wrong with the clutch internals - no broken parts to the diaphragm...

    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    Finally sprung for a borescope inspection cam which will hopefully be useful for a lot of stuff. It hasn’t really been useful so far for any clutch diagnostics. But it has confirmed the pressure plate is there.. haha. Haven’t taken off the flywheel cover yet. Was trying to find a pre filled...

    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    literally last thing I was doing before parking last night was driving around thinking “wow the clutch is really working good hope nothing happens to it”. Ha ha!

    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    I’ll check out the clutch fork too since that’s mention in Nero’s thread here. Just wasn’t sure where to look https://www.oilburners.net/threads/clutch-pedal-return.93546/

    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    Started up the truck this morning without issue. Let truck warm up for 10 mins at idle. Clutch must have been working fine initially to get trans into neutral. Went to leave for work and all of a sudden clutch pedal won’t press in fully. It’s feels like two similarly poled magnets pressing...

    Testing 4x4

    thanks for all the input. Everything I’ve done suggests 4x4 does not work. Dropped the clutch on gravel - only rear tire marks. Dry road turns with 4H feel the same as 2H. Did some tests with snow cover the other day with same results. Oh well put it on my tab. I’ve verified the hubs were...

    Testing 4x4

    Is there a way to verify 4x4 works? I’ve done the test where you try to drive perpendicular up a curb but it doesn’t seem very reliable. I can fairly easily go up a curb with 2H. Asking because the 4x4 dash light doesn’t come on in 4H - but it does for 4L (both “low range” and “4x4” lights turn...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yeah, started smelling fuel and then the engine cut out. Probably not a big deal but have had some problems keeping filter snug. This likely explains the recent hard starts and some bubbling around the GPs where the diesel is pooled up But really surprised it just popped off like this...

    Who's smarter?

    My ‘88 is older than me by least couple years. But the very first vehicle I remember really noticing and liking was probably a 95/96 f series - with the light blue or seafoam colorway. I was probably in preschool and can still remember seeing the truck. Always loved these trucks and always will...

    WANT TO TRY A LIL BUDDY HEATER TO WARM ENGINE

    Have been thinking about this a bit. I’m sure a propane heater could work in a pinch but it’s not really a sustainable long term solution. Cough block heater cough. But anything that’s electric will conflict with the “no generators before” rules. Maybe an inverter gen, something that’s super...

    Any reason to not run a 200 AMP alternator?

    Not sure if it’s a 3g but my truck got a Napa alternator put in 2013 I think. I have only glanced at the sticker. No issues so far knock on wood. PO used Napa parts throughout which was encouraging as a buyer. Surprised to hear power master alts are not recommended as their starters are said...

    Surface mount hitch receiver on front bumper to carry bikes?

    My buddy had an ‘89 dually with a 460, wasn’ta ford. He put a front receiver on it like this and said “the holes just matched up to what was already there” and I was in disbelief. Honestly I’m still surprised he didn’t need to drill. Guess Some people are lucky, he’s very smart but not super...

    1988 f350 6.8 idi

    Stock ‘88 is 7.3L. Even if warm out should be worth trying GPs or a block heater if there is one

    WANT TO TRY A LIL BUDDY HEATER TO WARM ENGINE

    Assuming the lil buddy works as well as a gen powered block heater, Gasoline is much cheaper than propane canisters. My lil buddy last about 5 hours on a 1lb tank. And safety too..

    1991 7.3 idi injectors where do I get them?

    It's not mandatory but usually recommended to replace injection pump along with injectors

    Electrical issue

    Don’t gotta run alternative fuels for brakes to go out, seat to tear, and window to crack. Maybe for the IP to fall off though LOL

    right on. Think I had good luck with Oreilly GPs too but weird to never be sure

    Nice, did you mock up with cardboard or have something to template?

    Hard starts while parked up hill

    I live in the middle of a small hill. The grade is probably 7% at its steepest so not too steep but not flat. I’ve noticed if I park with the truck facing Up the hill I get hard starts - like I’m sucking air or not getting fuel. If I park facing Down the hill starts seem more normal. Even if I...

    LMC Truck (parts)

    Have shopped around LMC a lot but never ordered. For steering systems they have valuable diagrams. I have done some business with bronco graveyard and even when the chit hit they were good to me.

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    How many “cycles” of 8 seconds do you do? I’m always worried about burning them out and try to wait the same number of seconds OFF that I keep them ON for - then cycle more or less depending on how cold it is. Been high 20s here lately in the morning and maybe do 6 cycles of 5-8sec. In warmer...
