    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    So it's time to add to this here thread. I've not done anything to the truck lately until this morning. It's been in my shop while I've been driving my track car a bit to keep it healthy. I went ahead and installed new door strikers since my old ones were missing the plastic sleeve and the...

    1990 F350 7.3 n/a overheating

    My .02. 180k isn't too much mileage. My guess you originally damaged the head gasket when your water pump failed. Didn't become an issue till you stressed it with a load. You've basically found zero silicone in the fan clutch so there's a potential issue with cooling right there. Yes you've got...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    During a prolonged "off the road" period my 07' Mustang GT was invaded by mice. They made a nest in the airbox, a nest in the spare tire well, and another under the carpet in the interior. I literally had to gut the entire car, steam clean the carpet, clean and disinfect the interior tub...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    That bumper is sexy. Dead sexy. In the planning stages. Goal is to design it properly, have it cut on the laser at work, bends all broke on a 100 ton press brake at work, then weld it up and powdercoat it. But alas I took on a project in my free time designing and building a control panel and...

    Gt3788 guys... a question

    Mike I can't let go of the idea that perhaps your water pump impeller may not be in great shape and is incapable of pumping properly at higher rpms. Therr was mention of cavitation earlier in this thread and when you described what conditions it ran hot under that seemed like it could be your...

    Cruise Control Surge

    Thanks for the picture. Now I'll have to check under there. Who knew? Everything I've come across referred to the master cylinder.

    Cruise Control Surge

    That's good to hear yours works at all. As for the surge I don't have an answer. Sorry. I do have a question I hope you'd be willing to answer. Where in the wiring harness does the switch plug into? I've got cruise but someone has swapped out my master for the non-switch type and the switch was...

    Core support, bushings, water pump, and?

    While you're in there how's your steering box? Front seal? Brake lines off the master all good?

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    As requested some pics. So here is a picture of the brake shoe and the plate that fell off. For reference here's where it's supposed to be. Okay so on to today. I went and picked up a rear u-joint for the driveshaft this morning. Apparently it has been bad longer than I thought. Yeah that's...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    So I had an issue with my rear brakes. The left rear started sticking after hard braking and coming to a stop at say a stoplight. Sometimes the Brake and ABS lights would turn on when it happened. I did a cursory (visual) inspection and noticed the small spring that keeps the brake shoe from...

    2019 Oilburners Rally- Start thinking about it now!

    I'm anxious to get this figured out too but haven't got a clue where to start. Seems the bulk of attendees this year were Mid Atlantic and or a little West of Virginia. Since you guys put it in my backyard this year I expect to travel a good bit next year. What kind of distances are typically...

    Cursed- leaking fuel behind ip pump... replace?

    On the front passenger side is where the cover comes off to turn the pump fueling up or down. Have you verified it's not leaking from there?

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    Yes indeed. And while talking to the girlfriend last night I mentioned I'd be renting a camper for next year and she said "why? We should have one by then" so I guess I got the go ahead on that too. More good times coming...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    I sure wish you had. It bothers me too. But there are other, more important things that bother me more. One day. And to all my Rally brothers/sisters it was great meeting you guys. Can't wait to do it again

    It has gotten better looking. In my defense I did say it's getting some rehab right now.

    2018 Oilburners Rally

    In camp got the tent setup. I'm in D13. Kind of hot right now as the shade is lacking for now but it looks like a good place to sleep. Going to walk around and see how many other campers I can aggravate looking for the Oilburners crew.

    2018 Oilburners Rally

    Okay guys I'm headed your way finally. In Lynchburg at the moment should be rolling in around 12:30. If anyone needs me to grab anything on the way in let me know. I'll be making a stop at Wally World on the way and will check back here before shopping.

    getting the most out of my baby moose pump

    Okay so what was the original Moose rated at cc wise? Mine is I think Moose #4. November of 2007. Is it the same as the current Bull Moose? Or different? I honestly don't know.
