Somebody better buy this truck!
After the auction is completed.. we should all print a copy of the final bid, and keep it in a save place. Then, if anything happens to our vehicle, we take it out of the file, show it to the insurance adjuster, and point. "Don't try to low ball me. I know what I have, and what it's...- Fredrickson

Muffler Recommendations? Straight-Piped ATM
I have a very similar set up .. 1994 Ford E350 7.3L IDI NA Ambo. It is mostly white with w/ a red stripe.. (mundane) Straight piping it or making it throaty would be like putting glass packs on a Buick Estate wagon with faux wood paneling. I have a NAPA muffler (part number EXH 21475)...- Fredrickson

New IP, GP, and injectors… she’s running but smoking like crazy got a lope too
This may be a dumb question, but the collective hive mind can educate me. People are often talking about turning up the injector pump by adjusting the screws. 1) Could the screws have been incorrectly set when the pump was rebuilt so it was 'overfueling' from the get go? (regardless of timing)...- Fredrickson

What Differential I have
To oversimplify, it is how many times the driveshaft needs to turn to rotate the rear wheels once. The more turns it takes per rotation.. (say 4.10 turns to rotate the wheels once), generally means the more torque, (pulling power) you will have at lower speeds, but it also means the more...- Fredrickson

What Differential I have
The chart on blue oval mentions the 3.55 for 1991. The sterling 10.25 (with no years listed) says 3.25.

Why do my radio's keep going out?
Not an answer to the root of the problem, but a work around.. Depending on your mobile data plan and the cell coverage where you are driving, maybe consider getting a cheap inexpensive, standalone bluetooth speaker.. and use that. I have a little speaker that looks like a hockey puck with a...- Fredrickson

Starting fluid: how bad is it really?
Back in my misguided youth, a 4 foot length of 2" pvc, a big ol' wye pipe, and a piezo bbq lighter, made a hell of a potato cannon. We used AquaNet since it was all sorts of flammable.. Isobutane, propane and who knows what else.. I recently looked at the label on my starting fluid. It...- Fredrickson

Lost Power- where to start
So the RPMS stay up.. but it just doesn't get power to the wheels? Is it just slipping real bad? When you dropped the pan, what did the filter look like? Does it move in reverse? Can you pull any codes?- Fredrickson

Trans cooler?
if you do put the tank in the back .. and you see a decent price on fuel.. I posted about a program where you can piggy back on a fleet's fuel plan and get better pricing. (but you need to use the truck lanes) I think@Cubey said he had used it https://www.tsdlogistics.com/services/fuel-program/- Fredrickson

Trans cooler?
Are you planning on taking I-95 all the way, or something like I-81 to I-85? (Eastern or Western side of SC?) I95 is just a sterile highway and primarily flat.. the other is more scenic, but with hills and mountains to go through.- Fredrickson
