    Rear axle seal leak

    Make sure you check the axle vent nipple and hose for blockage as that will make your new seals leak. Usually the nipple if full of rust, I pull it out and run a drill bit through the nipple. I put scottseals in my axle, 34384

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I must admit I was a bit hesitant on suggesting the ford 6.4 parts but no one is bashing the idea, not the cheapest thing to buy new but they are everywhere as I found around my area only one places sold faucet pumps and they wanted a lot for it. The 6.0 and 6.4 do both use a hfcm but they use...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I’m going to try a 6.4L powerstroke low pressure fuel system, it’s regulated to 3-5psi, good for 350-400hp, I got it for nothing but the cost of new filters. I have to run new lines as it’s 1/2” send and 3/8” return and I do plan on putting in the 38gal side tank which uses those sizes and...

    3 temp sensors on stock '94 7.3 turbo

    Here’s how to solve the “where to put the temperature probe” problem.

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    Interesting, why would removing the leaf spring mess up the idle so bad? I thought it only effected max fuel. Is it just a matter of turning the idle down or does the governor need to be adjusted?

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    So if one was wanting to remove the leaf spring for the rollers is there anything special you have to do after? Do you need to plug the screw hole? I’m guessing the plungers can’t push the rollers too far out and bind?

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    Small update, got it mostly working now, just need to add the last few sensors and make a case for the controller and mount the screen. I’m just using an Arduino nano for now but it doesn’t have enough analog to digital inputs so I’ll be changing that out at some point. I probably have about $15...

    A/C clutch engages the disengages

    The shims can be a pain sometimes to get out, I think grinding the end down would be a bandaid fix, at this point I would see if there is any shims stuck in there and I would also see if the compressor shaft has any in/out play that would give you that big air gap. At this moment I would...

    A/C clutch engages the disengages

    Just FYI the above is illegal to do so don’t tell anyone if you have a slip with a wrench and some Freon escapes. What is your clutch air gap right now? Should be around 0.020-0.030” What year ac system are you working on? 93+ trucks have r134a and a high pressure switch which will also turn...

    Passenger side valve cover clearance.

    Powertrain roll is spec’d at 3/4” clearance, sounds like your within spec.

    Building a better db2

    I say ditch the db2 and go common rail, then we can chip our trucks, run 400hp tunes, roll coal at idle and run a 12v tune to make the idi sound like a Cummins! :Thumbs Up All kidding aside I do believe a common rail setup like that on a 03-05? 24v would be something to try, fuelling wouldn’t...

    CTO wire

    Pin 36 is the tach output, red with a light blue stripe, this may also be at the instrument cluster too. Note: the wire maybe a different colour as I forget what year this diagram was for.

    CTO wire

    There is no Clean Tachometer Output on these trucks, being you have an automatic you can grab the tach signal from the TECA to tachometer as it will be a buffered signal from the tach sensor. Do note that this signal from the TECA isn’t the nicest looking and will be a very high pulse train (54...

    Gutless and IP adjustments

    Well hooked up a fuel pressure gauge, 2nd gear hard acceleration and it was in 2in-hg... looks like a better fuel pump is on the list of needs.

    Hard shifting 1st -> 2nd gear with ZF-5

    I would be checking you clutch rod bushing and pedal box bushings for slop, your clutch pedal should be doing something before half way down.

    Excessive Concrete Highway Bounce

    I think the superduty guys are onto something, I have a trampoline feeling going over a pavement bridge around 40-50mph and I think it’s the frame flexing making it worse. https://www.powerstroke.org/forum/suspension-steering/630442-my-theory-superduty-hop-possible-fix-4.html?amp=1

    Gutless and IP adjustments

    I haven’t had a chance to check fuel pressure yet but it’s next on my list of things to check, I know at idle I have around 4-5 psi and reving it dropped down to 3 psi when I first installed the pump. It’s a spectrum premium inline pump that I forget what the specs and model number is but...

    Gutless and IP adjustments

    Finally got the truck back together and insured now, got the gauges hooked up now so I can see what I’m running. I just ran it to work which isn’t very far away but got some numbers I wasn’t expecting! 4th gear (I think I was in 4th) 3/4 throttle doing about 70km/h (~45MPH) got 8psi boost and...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    @jaluhn83 I am using stock ford sensors as they are free from parts trucks and the wrecking yard, they are already water proof with water proof connectors, have a temp range from at least -50F to 320F, they are all the same sensors just in different packages including the transmission...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    Small update, not a big update but something. So I decided to ditch trying to program this thing on the microchip brand micros and figured I’d try the Arduino series. Well to put it simply, what took me a month and a half to get a half working program without a screen on the microchip chips I...

    Another FSV Question ... I know. I feel stupid for asking

    How is the fuel line from the frame to lift pump? That line is common to break down and either leak, collapse or suck in air. I would change it just to be safe.

    Spongy brake pedal after new pads

    The only reason I ask if the pads went in easy to the bracket is I’ve had pads drag before because they were to tight in the bracket, required beating them out, when done right the pads should practically fall out when you put them in. Have you tried bleeding each brake?

    Need advice on Dana 60

    The cv style shaft is there to allow the front driveshaft to run at a higher angle without vibrating or wearing u-joints excessively. You maybe perfectly fine running a standard driveshaft depending on your angles but you won’t unless to get the angles and see what your running. The front...

    Spongy brake pedal after new pads

    @Cubey did you measure the rotor thickness before you put new pads on? I have found many times that one side of the rotor is worn way more then the other and they are usually out of spec. Do the pads slide easily in the mounting bracket? It is also common for the steel and aluminum (if your...
