    Horsepower depended on the year, stick vs auto, and california emssions or not. Ford by 4 FX4 was a sticker, different colored boots on the stock shocks, and a skid plate. Lariat's in the 7.3L days were two tone, leather seats, and fender badging. What is the code under AXLE on the door jam...

    Changing Transmission Fluid.....

    These were fist fight level discussions 20 years ago. Mercon vs Mercon V got people banned. I only use Motorcraft Mercon V because Mercon was discontinued. That was a rage bait discussion too of using other brands. Motorcraft filter, new felpro gasket, you may or may not have an inline...

    95 F350 Frame Swap to 96 F-Superduty.

    Now I remember Fsupers on the lots new as a little kid wondering what was up with a giant center differential front axle. Never looked into it now though and figure it was like a Quigley type company authorized post factory/pre dealer conversion. Another idea could be that 2005+ superduty...

    Fell behind on these updates. Did a block heater test, then the next day a cold start without the block heater for glow plug verification. Then had a three week trip that was unexpected with recovering a broken helicopter. Truck sat at airport and I was really wondering if there would be...

    Bought a 6.4L parts truck that came with a ranch hand bumper. The frame ends don't quite line up and needed some drilling to mount 8 bolts securely. Also there's a gap under the turn signals. Maybe not ideal, but I spent less on the whole donor truck than what a the correct 6.0L truck bumper...

    www.ficmrepair.com got me fixed up with a big honkin' USAdiesel alternator overnight shipping. The "second" alternator is a stupid system that doesn't even really work the way you would want a backup alternator to work, and its second pulley system is in the way of doing anything. Best I could...

    All back together and fired up on third crank with great pressure. I didn’t get the egr coolant hose on far enough and it leaked the gallon of water I started with. Shimmied it on more and no leaks. Now neither the primary or secondary alternator are charging. Not a lot of research on...

    Well dang it. Sitting waiting on new injector cups, and I think I figured out where the oil leak is coming from. The top plate was clean yesterday, but now the oil cooler cover is just bleeding down the slight tilt. Didn't really want to pull the intake for that job, but now's the time to do it...

    Started taking it apart. Do the FICM bolts just float around without grommets between these mounting plates? Seems weird to me. Adrianspeeder

    Complex transmission issues

    Even with a total loss of PSOM function, it should bang through gears with a limp mode. I’d keep the original VSS for it being a better quality of the new These trucks are also hitting service life of the EEC with bleeding capacitors and burnt boards. Pull it out and remove the cover for an...

    Fuel Filter Warning!!!

    That’s why I went with a sump install on my 6.4L It is a special feeling taking a three inch hole saw to the bottom of the tank. Adrianspeeder

    Fuel Filter Warning!!!

    I have a sump drain and FASS on my 6.4L no problems. Are there any negatives to doing the same on a 6.0L?

    No not sure. Just watched the old diesel tech Ron videos about it. Ordered an IPR, STC improvement kit, o rings for everything, standpipes, dummy plugs, and pressure testing adapters. We shall see! Adrianspeeder

    Well, friend borrowed the 6.0L and it's now doing the hot no restart after shut down and there was an oil puddle where it was parked. Had it towed back to the house and it fired up on the rollback. Time to look for leaks in the high pressure bits and bobs I suppose. Adrianspeeder

    ODOMETER I need to repair the odometer in my '86 F350 - I think there's a nylon gear that fails on these...I've got the Cab and chassis 4x4 w/4.10 gea

    Pretty simple. Pull the cluster out, disconnect the cable drive, and see if the shaft is turning when you drive. Adrianspeeder
