    Clogged fuel return line - rear tank

    No, i'm thinking it may be in the sending unit... I don't think it is possible to get the line off w/o dropping the tank. I may try and see if I can reach in there though..

    Clogged fuel return line - rear tank

    Anyone ever dealt with this issue? It would be awesome if I could clear this without having to pull the tank or bed. The rear tank return line is clogged somewhere. It was like this when I bought the truck two years ago and I have never used it. Switching to the rear tank pressurizes the return...

    Resonator or Muffler?

    Here’s what I’m talking about w the step bars. they bolt straight to the frame and then to the cab, looks like they are using the rear seatbelt bolt. No isolators

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Battled some rust and added more soundproofing to the cab. Truck has some pretty bad cancer in just one place, the driver's side cab floor and mount. The mount isnt compromised structurally but looks ugly. The floor has a few holes. I spent about 2 hours wire brushing everything. vacuuming...

    Heat

    I would also raise the possibility of the cable looking like it is moving fine, but not making full travel due to a broken mount. That is if he did not pull the control unit out when checking it, and just pulled the glove box. Most likely either the damper arm itself is broken, or the cable...

    Resonator or Muffler?

    I was thinking the same thing today... I no longer think it is an exhaust resonance, and more of a resonance that gets transmitted to the cab. Seems to have more to do with RPM than throttle position. I plan to replace all of my body mounts soon anyway, I won't be messing with the exhaust until...

    Heat

    Does the truck get up to operating temp? Thermostat stuck maybe? if it gets up to operating temp normally, then check the cable actuation of the blend door. When you move the slider on the hot/cold selector, it goes through about a 1ft cable to actuate the blend door, behind the glove box. That...

    Resonator or Muffler?

    89’ F250 7.3 with turbo. Straight 3” exhaust, in good shape (new). The exhaust is not loud at all but I have an annoying resonance in the cab. I have dynomat on the floor and roof of the cab, and the truck is pretty quiet for an idi. between about 65-75mph I get a loud drone in the cab. This...

    A word about dieselkleen

    Any drawback to running anti-gel dieselkleen? The anti-gel version is on sale for $15 /80oz at advance auto. Probably because no one around here needs it. Still has the lubrication stuff.

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    Really appreciate your help in diagnosing the problem. If a replacement was $150 I would be tempted but with a name brand reman available for $90 shipped with tax, I'm just going to go that route. Also if any oilburners want my old alternator, you can have it free local pickup in Raleigh, NC...

    Alrighty. I did this test and I got 30 volts AC. So It sounds like i'm going alternator shopping!

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    Re: Grounds they look fine to the naked eye and I get almost perfect continuity test between the battery posts and the alternator case. Actually went from 3 ohms to 1 ohm after cleaning. Also earlier I threw a jumper cable directly from the battery negative post to the alternator body just to...

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    All contacts shiny clean, no change. Re: Batteries I have not load tested them individually. But they seem fine. They sit at 12.5 after resting 24 hours and hold there for several days. Disconnected and separated for an hour or so today, both were reading 12.5. Truck cranks over fast enough to...

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    Bounced back quickly to about 12.25v and then slowly rose up. Glow plugs not cycling when the truck is running, I have a manual relay installed with a dedicated switch. Before I go any farther I am going to clean the contacts on both positive battery terminals. They look fine but I don't think...

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    I just disconnected them, resting both showing an even 12.5 just after disconnection. I will let them sit for a minute and check again. a good suggestion, they crank the truck just fine but I haven’t really checked them out. They are optima red tops of an unknown age, 800 cca

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    With basically every conceivable combination. One interesting point is it always squeals the belt for a few seconds after a cold start. All belts are in good condition and tight. I thought this may be because at 13.5v the batteries aren’t charging fully, and after the glow plugs and a little...
