    Killer price on Impact Sockets at Walmart

    If you want a good filter at a good price check oreilly for the microgard select msl51734. They are $11.99. Not much more than the Motorcraft used to be and it is a nice filter. I've been using them since the price went up. I work at oreilly so I checked out all the filters we sell and it's the...

    Is this the cause of my intermittent tachometer issues.

    Turn on the key and check for power and ground at the tcm connector. If you have that the fuse and relay are good.

    Can the mechanical fuel pump be left on temporarily after installing an electric lift pump?

    I left my dead fuel pump on my engine for 3 years before oil started coming out of it. It wasn't much at all. I lost more oil out of my valve covers.

    A/C conversion woes

    I have a 92 and I converted it to ac from non ac by taking the entire system from my 94 f150 5.0. Everything fit and works. The only problem I had was the compressor hoses angled wrong. The low pressure hose needed to be angled up to fit and the high pressure hose was too long so I curved it...

    19-38 gal tank sending unit

    The 38 gallon tank I got has the sender hole at the front just like the original. For the sender I removed the original float wire and used a piece of coat hanger shaped like the original but longer and bent it so it would read the full depth of the tank. I don't have any pictures but I have to...

    Double OD with E4OD

    I don't think it will know the difference. The speed sensor is in the rear axle so it will only see the truck going faster

    Where are you in the Chicago area? I'm interested in parts. I'm not in Illinois right now but I need to go back.

    Horn blows fuse

    It shouldn't be in the steering column. If that wire is shorted the horn won't shut off. That wire only supplies ground to the relay.. The short will be somewhere between the relay and the horns.

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    The seals could be bad on the oil cooler. Is there any oil in the radiator?

    I don't know if this will help but I discovered a while back the 2 wd bracket is the same as a 4wd bracket on the f150. Mabye if there's a drop bracket for that it would fit?

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    It did and I changed my oil. It's running smoother now.

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    My truck has been doing this too. Since I'm at an oil change I poured in a can of seafoam to see if it would make a difference. It was randomly ticking warm and sometimes cold and could be rough running at times. I have put about 100 miles on it now and it seems to have cleared up so I'm going...

    6.9 IDI smoking questions

    I would much rather do the work. Most of my cars and trucks were bought this way. Then I know it's right

    6.9 IDI smoking questions

    Definitely plan for the worst and hope for the best. I got my 92 f250 for $120. It was going to scrap because the engine was bad. Needed glow plugs fuel pump air and fuel filters batteries and a radiator and it ran good. Done a lot of work on it since then but it's been a reliable truck.

    Loud rattle

    Check your flywheel bolts. I just had this happen to my truck. At idle made noise, slow-moving got loud, and accelerating got quiet. It's easy to check. Just pull off the cover and put a wrench on them.

    Batteries

    All my battery cables are soldered. One end was junk when I got my truck and the rest got replaced as they disintegrated. Used copper pipe cut and crimped. Drilled a hole for mounting and one opposite the cable so when it's heated the solder will flow through the terminal. I have done this on...

    My wife's bronco died!

    I've seen those on some fords before. They're very light weight compared to the cast iron. They also turn all white and fuzzy inside if there is moisture in the brake fluid.

    1986 6.9 IDI - Washington

    Welcome to oilburners. Sounds like you're making good progress fixing it up. The easiest way to fix the terminals is to get a connector from the junkyard and change out the bad terminals. The other wires can be tied together no problem. The factory ties everything together in one harness with...
