    Oil filter and wrenches??

    To be clear: **PSD filter = PowerStroke Diesel filter **I'm not claiming to know/understand how much engine oil expands when it's hot ... just that the service manual says "full line (on engine oil dip-stick) inicates full when hot". I use the NAPA "Platinum" oil filters. They're built by...

    TSB's ... where to pull from?

    Hello, Where are y'all pulling TSB's? I've found a few sites. None seem complete. Even the Ford site seems pretty worthless. They only list two "field service items" for the IDIT ... and I know that ain't right! Link: Owner.Ford.com Another wants $20.00 / month to look at them! Link...

    What's up with the censoring

    I wasn't aware of this this type thing...just read about it (thanks to you) and you're 100% correct. I should be glad that it isn't worse ... I hope that "we" can keep BS (including PC BS) out of here. So far, this has been the most "laid back" forum I've found (thank you Mods.). From my...

    Drove 4 miles with starter stuck on

    I'll give you odds on the starter fail! I've had 'em go T/U with a lot less punishment.

    Oil filter and wrenches??

    Service manual says "full" mark on stick = full when hot. That said, I use a PSD filter and fill with 10.5 qts. at oil change (in of all my IDIs).

    What's up with the censoring

    Maybe the Mods. should tell us: What's it take (in terms of $) to keep this "beast" alive, WITHOUT CENSORING? They might find the funding "at home".

    Power window stuck down!

    FWIW: I just purchased & used the "kit" from Summit. Precision is the manufacturer. They fit the OBS nicely.

    Wrong sponsors perhaps?

    Advice: Tire valve extensions /TPMS/ Pressure EqualizersDRW

    Hello, I've read horror stories about chinesium "pressure equalizers" and valve extensions ... I'm not clear about where to find a quality product. E-trailer has some $$ options ... but I know it's chinesium. Additionally, I'd like TPMS on the rears ... read the same type of stories and have...

    Electrical issues.

    Welcome to the forum. Gauges going to zero: Sounds like something groundin' out to me. Loss of power: Sounds like restricted fuel flow to me. Did it "surge" or smoke during "power loss"? *** All of my trucks are manual transmission trucks. I have zero knowledge regarding auto. trans...

    Quick Alternator Question 1988 7.3

    Local shop is terrible ... I guess I should learn how to do it myself.

    Quick Alternator Question 1988 7.3

    What parts store do / did you buy from? I've had TERRIBLE luck with NAPA alts. Thank you.

    What would you check

    Nice score! I'd also check the area around the block heater for fishers/cracks. I learned that the hard way.

    Fuel pump circuit breaker

    I run to a "power distribution box" (like on a trailer) then to my relay/fuse block) ... Gives me latitude & multilple options for upgrades and dis-connects later. I didn't say that before because OP doesn't seem to enjoy wiring projects, but I love the distro. box.

    Fuel pump circuit breaker

    I pulled 12v off of the battery (like your diagram) to the breaker. Really, the only difference in my setup and the diagram is that I used a toggle instead of a keyed switch. Find any (quality) toggle switch that you like and put it where ever you want it. Just use a quality switch. I like...

    Whats this?

    Flux Capacitor probe. Or, maybe for the turn signal fluid. Seriously, I've never seen that part and I have WAY TOO MANY IDIs. I have an '87 at the shop. I'll try to find anything similar when I get back up there (hopefully tomorrow) if you haven't figured it out by then.

    Fuel pump circuit breaker

    I'm running a 40222 and a 40290 (parallel) on a 30 amp relay set up like your diagram. I bought the relay (similar to: Nilight 50023R) for my set up so I could skip wiring the fuse, then used a 15 amp fuse instead of the 30 amp that comes with the relay. This set up is on the IDIT ... works...

    94 F350 dually drum or disc brakes?

    I'd sure like to hear more about this. I like the idea of rear disk as, as long as you have good trailer brakes. Beside that, I'm looking to graduate from 215/85's (dually) and every 8 on 6.5 wheel option seems too expensive to me + still have PITA drums. An SD rear axle and solution for the...

    Exhaust on my rollback

    If your running a turbo, straight pipe isn't too bad. If your N/A, straight pipe is pretty obnoxious...you ain't sneaking up on ANYBODY. Trust me. It all comes down to your preference ... and your relationship with your neighbors.

    Schrader valve?

    I'd bet on a plugged filter ... though I've never witnessed one plugged that bad. I think I'd start there anyway. Don't forget to prime the filter before you install it. I use ATF for priming. Good luck.

    Tires

    I agree. I usually end up starting on the high end of the tire's max ... within a couple of thousand miles you'll more clearly undrestand what the tire/your truck likes. Case In Point: The Yokohamas (HTX) on my dually like 75 in the front and 65 in the rear (when loaded heavy I increase the...
