    Vinyl tubing and diesel fuel?

    Just a second to @gandalf , I've had the exact same two positions fitted with Lowe's vinyl hose since 12'? IIRC. Did return caps at least once since then, still no probs from the vinyl. Again, it is sorta hard, but it softens when warm and I don't bother it. Very very helpful in leak i.d. On a...

    Experience with GV install anyone?

    Wow, I know that the main components of the gv are all the same, and the front is what's different, but I didn't know they made a divorced front half, that's cool. I could see some use for sure. As for the driveshafts, I don't see any reason that anything besides the end that's going to...

    A/C Question.

    Well definitely not a 96 diesel, considering that it would be a powerstroke, and the mechanical tranny would not like the computer controlled engine. I'd wager to assume the diesel models stopped with the IDI at very minimum, but maybe even prior to that. I guess we would have to ask a Ford...

    A/C Question.

    Actually, you could order a c6 all the way up until the modular motors came out in 97', even in a pickup. Couple years ago I was looking at buying a 96 f250 with a 351 in it, got in, saw that the gear indicator was different that usual, and sure enough, right there on the door tag, it indicated...

    Early E4OD identification / parts

    Mabey @trackspeeder will chime in then because I'm almost certain there were internal upgrades to a hard parts at the 91 92 split, albeit minor. It's always nice to have someone that's actually been inside one to confirm haha

    Early E4OD identification / parts

    @Thewespaul, do you know for certain about any differences between 87 and 94 ? I know for a fact the internals were changed and upgraded over the years but are there any communication issues?

    Early E4OD identification / parts

    Not any specific links ,no. I just very distinctly recall reading that the internal resistances in the pack were different on the 87-91 models and the 92-94 models, and the tcm didn't like to communicate with the other accurately. The way I understood it, it would work mostly, but would never be...

    Early E4OD identification / parts

    While I do know the dealers often times just used exchange programs on their rebuilds I also am led to believe that Ford continued to put the splines on the shaft having seen them in my transmission as well as considering the e450 that had a variance of rear axles that some may not have had a...

    A/C Question.

    The only way I could see that happening is a complete scrapyard engine swap. Do you have a pic under hood? And yes it was a factory option to not have it. Another way to know is if your in dash controls have the words norm a/c and MAX a/c on the left two most options for the damper controls

    Early E4OD identification / parts

    Also, it's remotely possible that someone had my issue. 96 f350 7.3, Jasper reman application specific trans, 2wd. Come out of harbor freight one day to see a puddle of tranny fluid. Upon inspection the dummy plug had fallen out, bolt and all. There's always a chance that they couldn't...

    On the fence about tires (yep, another tire thread)

    up to 255/85 from my research has been know to work on obs trucks with enough clearance to function loaded. Although I have no data on Wich wheels they were on. If you are wanting to stay with the 235 and keep a slightly more aggressive tread Last time I looked khumo road venture at was...

    Another Interesting IDIT Failure

    Most water boils off/turns into mist and burns with the oil fog through the cdr if you drive the engine at temp for a while though. You would need some serious water intrusion to get to that point. Plus the water/used oil mixture almost always has a grey or whitish color. I don't see that is his...

    Anyone put both batteries on one side?

    Hey Everyone, Walmart advocate here again on another thread! I just wanted to say I've never had an actual failure from a Walmart everstart, during the same period that I've had 4 optimas fail in the same scenario. And now that they have started their economy line, they run in the $50 range...

    ATF and Diff oil recommendations

    It's true, it's true. There's even a website dedicated to oil arguments haha. I'm partly guilty, but I just don't like bad info. I love to see these trucks last as long as possible, and when Lucas plasters it's name everywhere, and people believe it, I feel like I should say something. I don't...

    Another Interesting IDIT Failure

    And considering that the higher heat would mean thinner fluid,it would probably act more like regular oil at that point-Flame Thr I mean drag cars run with solid blocks for short periods, so I agree with above, give it a drive to the grocery store and it'll be locked up when you try to go to...

    Radiator question

    Mishimoto runs under $500, and has a lifetime warranty. Real great quality too. Only downside is the special cap that runs 19psi....not sure I like that, but it's worked great for a couple years now on my truck, and I've been very mean to it. I don't think it's the aluminum itself that's the...

    Another Interesting IDIT Failure

    Out of curiosity, once I cut the hand wind handles off of one of those parts store Lucas displays with the plastic gears and attached my drill. Though the Lucas looks better and hand crank speeds, it IMMEDIATELY foamed up when ran at engine speed, and henceforth remaind that way for five hours...

    ATF and Diff oil recommendations

    Again, not trying to agitate, but comparing something like cereal to motor oil is not quite apples to apples. Certain things are certainly cheaper to recreate, but Mobil one is not going to reformulate their oil and retool their line because Walmart doesn't wanna pay a few extra cents. I'd much...

    ATF and Diff oil recommendations

    Amsoil edged out schaffers just barely in a few catagories,but I would have called it a close second. Redline did very well too. Royal purple, Lucas, and standard Valvoline did not so so hot. Surprisingly enough, Valvoline synthetic did great though

    ATF and Diff oil recommendations

    Sceptical of the above. Are you sure that both of those instances were a direct result of using "Walmart" oil? Was there any real proof that innadiquate film strength due to low quality oil was the cause? Several test, and I'm sure 100k more individuals would tell you they had nothing but good...

    ATF and Diff oil recommendations

    I suppose I assumed most people would consider "normally" available in a store near them, but many do buy online these days, so I suppose that may not be the case. Either way I'd definitely not run Lucas, it technically didn't qualify as a 75-140 anyhow lol

    Anyone put both batteries on one side?

    Cut the weight of your wallet drastically too:cry:

    ATF and Diff oil recommendations

    On the Lucas, I don't want to be contrary, but the same studies that discerned that amsoil severe gear was the best, also found that Lucas's products were so poor that they didn't even qualify for the weight they listed on the bottle . Aka less than half the quality of the cheapest oil you...
