Ride height??
FWIW the '92 in my sig with new stock Ford front springs and new stock Ford front shackles has a little over an inch between the rubber bump stop and the plate the shock and u-bolts wrap around. Nick- zebrabeefj40

Worn out front leaf
What is "very low"? Measure from the top of the leaf spring to the bottom of the bumpstop and let us know what that is. I say this because I thought the same of my '92 F250 extracab and new springs were bought from Ford using a PN found in a TSB about Supercab diesel springs. Install the new...- zebrabeefj40

Factory tow hitch setup?
Looks like a Class III to me... The drawbar looks a little light for what you are proposing to do too. I assume you have a different one for the car hauler? Nick- zebrabeefj40

Ford Brake Spring Tool
I use a similar tool from KD - http://www.ebay.com/itm/KD-3499-HEAVY-DUTY-BRAKE-SPRING-TOOL-/281039005957?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item416f3ae905&vxp=mtr#ht_908wt_674 Looking at the pics of that Snap-on tool I think the KD tool is better. Gets a better grip on the spring. The KD tool...- zebrabeefj40

Find another dealer. My dealer had one size on the shelf and had the size I needed in a day or two. Sorry, tossed the parts bag so no numbers. Nick- zebrabeefj40

Some more cummins swap questions!
I see in your sig line that you have 4.10 gears. Those are a little too low to work with the Cummins RPM range. At 65-70 mph my truck ran 2400 rpm. The Cummins is happier at 2000 or less so I see a gear swap in your future too (I have 3.55's to put back into my truck once the motor is...- zebrabeefj40

Some more cummins swap questions!
I'm builting a very similar truck to what you're thinking of doing. - Hydroboost - I swapped a hydroboost into my truck too. To keep that I machined a plate to run the stock Ford power steering pump in Cummins motor. That ment I had to rework the Cummins gear to work with my P/S pump. But...- zebrabeefj40

So I went in for an alignment and....
'Nother option: buy a complete TTB from the junkyard, rebuild it then swap it into your truck. That way your truck isn't in pieces all over the driveway for several weeks while you figure out how to do the work or collect the tools you need. Nick- zebrabeefj40

FS - 7.3 IDI SMF Single Mass Flywheel $75
I have a single mass flywheel from my '92 F250 7.3 IDI. Was installed for 10K miles then I pulled the 7.3 for a 5.9 Cummins so I don't need this anymore. The flywheel was resurfaced when installed - there is no measurable wear on it since then. Just enough use to show where the clutch rode...- zebrabeefj40

Anyone run Rotella 15w40
Been running synthetic 5w-40 Rotella in the Ford in my sig line for years. It would leak 2 qts over 5K miles from dried out valve cover gaskets but no issues of burning it worse than any other oil. :dunno Nick- zebrabeefj40

Hydroboost on CL cheap!! Maryland near PA
I found the pushrod on that C'List hydroboost to be longer than the pushrod on my stock '92 vacuum booster. I welded up a spacer to move the hydroboost to where it worked without cutting the pushrod. Since I had to make bolt flanges for both sides of my spacer I delt with the different bolt...- zebrabeefj40

Where to find this clip?
The junction widget is sometimes included with new cables. Least it was included with the new intermeadiate cable I bought recently from Rockauto. A good autoparts store like NAPA might be able to get one too. Otherwise a junkyard truck, the dealer or someone here parting out a truck. Nick- zebrabeefj40

92 F250
Let me get this straight - a running diesel truck that is clean, rust free and one owner - and $2300 is TOO MUCH!? Really?? I'll take a clean truck with a blown motor any day over a rotted out truck with 50K miles. A motor (or most any mechanical system on these trucks) can be swapped in a...- zebrabeefj40

front end alignment question
If the pic you posted is of your truck there are at least 3 pieces of leaf that are extra on the bottom of the leaf pack. The overload stuff on the rear is likely stock. The 3 long leaves in the front look stock to me - I have an '89 here now that has the same 3 leaves in front. The '92 in my...- zebrabeefj40
