    ZF advice/help please

    10-4 I’ll give it a run. Is it possible that I’m seating the seal too far back…or not far enough? The seal wants to stop about 3/16 beyond flush with the tail housing (inside). Thank you.

    Making a junkyard parts run for the 86 F250

    Cruise control cable! If you don’t need it I’ll buy it from you. Personally, I’m with Jesus Freak….drag a truck or two home with you.

    ZF advice/help please

    I’m using the Loctite brand thread sealer (white tube). It looks like the seal is leaking around the outside of the inner part…if that makes sense. I’ve been using National (brand) for the seal.

    ZF advice/help please

    I’m using thread sealer on the splines. The yoke doesn’t appear to be damaged and the trans that I broke received it with no leak. The output shaft doesn’t deflect and no vibration when driving.

    ZF advice/help please

    I’m on round 3 of output shaft seal (rear seal) replacement. I broke the trans, replaced it with rebuilt transmission…seal leaked and I ASSumed that the seal leaked because I had stored the trans dry for a few years. Replaced the seal…still leaks…read the service manual. Assumed, again, that...

    reverse lights help

    I BELIEVE that you should be able to jump the terminals, on the pigtail for that switch, and determine whether or not the switch is t/u or that wiring is your issue. If I remember correctly, with the ignition “on” and the terminals jumped, you’ll get reverse lights on if you’re wiring is...

    Olive

    Welcome to the forum. Olives are "gaskets" that look like a section of hose. They are on both ends of the hard fuel line from filter head to injection pump and there's one on the line from lift pump to filter head. If you have an early 6.9 with hard return line, it has two olives. I don't have...

    School me on 2wd Front Brakes

    I’d recommend getting was many Motorcraft parts as you can. I was able to find all but the rubber line for my rear brakes (through about 7 different vendors). I haven’t started down the “rabbit hole” for the front brake parts yet.

    Steering Columns for 87-91 trucks?

    Look at the "repair guides" / Autozone.com. At least you'll be able to see the parts involved with repair.

    Good by and good luck!

    Please don't let an idiot ruin a good thing. I agree that "some peoples' kids" are a REAL irritation, do you let them make decisions for you?...F no! Stick around. You're appreciated by the adult members of this forum.

    Switching tanks

    Yep, that will sure “do the trick”. I guess that I’ve learned: If I “suddenly” experience air intrusion symptoms, flip the switch!

    Switching tanks

    Not long, if you’re running down the road, and you accidentally drain a tank, you have time to switch tanks before you stall the truck.

    Electric fuel pump wont push gas unless engine cranking?

    I had the same question (among others) about his post. My IDIT is a ZF5 truck. 3200 RPM (per Ford tach & Barney Fife) gets me 63 MPH in 4th and it's still pulling.

    Electric fuel pump wont push gas unless engine cranking?

    It was broken, so I did fix it. Thank you sir. Kizer

    Electric fuel pump wont push gas unless engine cranking?

    Yes I did. All I can say is that the 40285 is in it's third truck now. One (N/A) died from block worm, one (Banks turbo'd) died from cracked block @ block heater and now the IDIT. I did NOT like the 40285, solo, on my IDIT. When pulling (10 or 11k) I ran out of fuel at the top (+3k RPM). So...

    Electric fuel pump wont push gas unless engine cranking?

    This is a 40285 & 40290 in parallel. The set up has worked nicely for me ('93 IDIT). My favorite part is the redundancy. The truck runs fine on either pump, better on both. I believe that some (most) of the reported Facet failure is due to "knock-offs" being distributed/sold by bad actors. I...

    Safari TSR Blues

    Yes. I was disappointed in wear pattern. I "flipped" those damned things (inboard to outboard on the wheels) at every other rotation to get 25k out of them.

    Safari TSR Blues

    Yes sir ... both Kelly Springfield tires. The GYs seem more stable and, as you pointed out, the tread pattern is different / less noisy that the Safari.

    That's how you know they're workin'!

    Safari TSR Blues

    I'm running Goodyear Wranglers 315s. I ran Safari before ... GYs are nice and (relatively) quite, ride is good and traction is great.

    That #$%^ serpentine belt chirp again!

    I fixed the chirp by cleaning the pulleys with brake cleaner and a wire brush.

    Vacuum Pump

    I use mine too. And I'm grateful to have it. I just meant that I got a "fancy" puller/installer kit. I've never use anything but the puller and the 3/8 installer (which is basically a bolt, nut and a couple of washers).

    Instrument cluster lights and gauges

    Try to jump 12 to the wire that's supposed to be feeding the bulbs.?. Printed circuit roasted? AutoZone gives pretty good access to wiring diagrams, if I remember correctly.
