    OIL PAN MODIFICATION FOR COLD WEATHER STARTING

    Heaters cook fluid and shorten the life span, be it oil or coolant. A heated garage is a better option. Oil heater? I suspect I would go with a coolant heater and spare the oil life. Plus with a coolant heater, if you leave the defrost on, I believe it *might* help clear the windshield while...

    C6 and rear differential gearing

    I believe, there are a few overdrive trans options available without going with the E4OD. If memory serves, which is getting more rare with each passing day, it was brought up on this forum not long ago and a search might turn it up. My '86 460 F250 standard cab is running a 3.79 and passes most...

    Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas to one and all. Jesus Christ was born unto us and from Christ came his followers called Christ~ians. It is the Christians who celebrate his birth with Christ~mas. "Deny me to others and I will deny you to my father." So next time you start to say "Happy Holiday's" or "Season's...

    Mystery Wire??

    First check it for voltage before grounding it out looking for a gauge needle to move. As was stated, eliminate the splices.

    Diagnosing OD Flashing when shifting to 3rd. Brake light circuit?

    Fords are reputed for range selector switches. You haven't done that one? You mentioned you replaced the TCM. Scan tool won't do a KOER test? Generally if a PCM won't remember a code, it is a faulty PCM. I suspect your TCM is of the same nature. One of the ways to test a PCM is to have key...

    Engine knock?

    Idea? You won't like mine. Loosening the injector line took the load off the cylinder. Taking the load off, eliminated the stress on the rod bearing. Eliminating the stress on the bearing, eliminated the noise. Pull the pan, drop the rod cap and have a look. Get some plasti-gage and stuff in a...

    HOW TO mount front winch bumper '94 F350 with RFS bracket ???

    Those frame horns probably won't be happy with me and >IF< I can find a fabricator in the area to do it, I suspect I will have to reinforce the frame from behind the core support and forward. If all else fails, I saw a video on putting the 2017 front bumper on that will hide a lot of ugliness...

    HOW TO mount front winch bumper '94 F350 with RFS bracket ???

    Reverse front shackle bracket on the front of the 02/94 F350. Any ideas on mounting a front bumper with winch? Most everything i have seen so far wants the same real estate as the reverse front shackle bracket. I just saw someone put a 2017 bumper on the front of an OBS. didn't look bad, I still...

    02/94 7.3 idiT Top hat games.

    Putting the engine together, installing the turbo and popped the top hat out of position. The PO glued it down with whatever. (RTV?) Went ahead and finished installing the turbo and now found out the top hat won't go into position without the turbo being loose. And I just glued the turbo valley...

    Starting procedure

    Gurgling? You say your truck is a turkey? Goggle Gobble. . .? Might go away after a day of driving under the new radiator cap. Air in the cooling system going through the heater core. New cap and reaching op temp should purge it out.

    is this 1993 F350 7.3 IDI turbo a good deal?

    ***** don't facebook. "...rebuild with a displacement on demand delete kit and adding a new camshaft to beef it up a bit..." Demand delete kit? A hole in the piston? Smarter people on here than I, They might chime in.

    Ignition actuator rod replacement continued

    Ford had a different idea on steering columns. They didn't want to impose on GM's patents. Youtube can also be your friend when doing a few things.

    Intake manifold holes, and starting problems- need opinions.

    I have briefly read your story and will offer you a bit of advice i ran across some time ago with the fuel return line routing. Somewhere along the line I read of a situation where the engine would start and die. It was found that the fuel return line coming off the filter housing should be...

    7.3 turbo pipe flange gasket?

    Thank you for that. Soot seal. That's a new one for an exhaust system. I will locate some high temp copper seal. I had a feeling that was the case but wasn't quite willing to bet the boom dollar on it.

    7.3 turbo pipe flange gasket?

    Putting the 02/94 7.3 idiT together and got to the back of the engine with the cast iron pipe bolted to the turbo. That "pipe" descends into a three way fitting. Is there supposed to be a seal in there somewhere? I can't believe that is a just a straight pipe fitting without a seal of some sort...

    Ignorant regarding turbos

    Turbo going onto the 6.9 might warrant a change in head bolts to studs.

    Tow 12,600 with a 6.9 N/A ?

    I must not be on a hill then. Usually 10 degrees cooler up here, some days only 6 and rarely the same at the valley floor. On a good summer day, 20 degrees cooler than the far side of town. Well, I got it done. Trailer brakes got hot real fast on a downhill slope as did the truck brakes...

    Tow 12,600 with a 6.9 N/A ?

    I am currently running Dexter 7200# axles. The PO dumped the OEM axles with the 15" 2 piece twist together rims. Those tires had a wonderful weight rating. The mobile home tires, not so great. Good looking pintle hook trailer on two junk axles.

    Tow 12,600 with a 6.9 N/A ?

    I ordered up a Teknosha RF brake controller. I figured the remote sensor will make it easier to transfer from one vehicle to another. One end plugs into the cigarette lighter and the other end gets it's power from the 12V constant. the brake signal is a wireless signal between the two. Good from...

    Tow 12,600 with a 6.9 N/A ?

    The wife has written this truck off in her mind. The hood released to it's first stop is a trick I have done a few times. I accidentally didn't fully close the hood on her van once and uh, well she was driving and not too happy. No damage the the vehicle, just my ears when she came home. 75...
