    Trailer electric brake shoe adjustment..

    I've adjusted many an RV 2 - 4 - 6 wheels, no different than your goose neck. Only way to do it is to keep adjusting up and spinning the wheel until it don't turn, then back off until the wheel turns with a little drag like the shoes are just touching, you can hear a little scraping. Don't know...

    A word of warning

    Why is my timing so retarded?

    There is NO two 7.3 or 6.9 diesel engines that are alike as far as timing setting being correct for your engine. The timing degrees suggested is just a starting point so the engine will run pretty efficiently, normally between 8.5 and 11.5. You would have to Dyno an engine to obtain the max...

    Why is my timing so retarded?

    If you would buy a Kent-Moore J 33300 A timing unit, make sure it has the quartz pickup, luminosity probe, magnetic pickup and timing light.

    WHAT TO DO TO MAKE 7.3 IDI RELIABLE

    How many miles on it? What is the 8th VIN letter? Is It Manual or Automatic? In the first place that F250 is probably going to be overloaded hauling large loads of tile. You can probably get a hundred boxes of tile in the bed easily. Whats a box weigh? Thirty pounds? If so, that would be 3000...

    Please help before I destroy

    If by chance you remove the lines from the IP, be sure and mark them to which injector they go to. Here is how they go back on the IP. 2-7-3-1-4-8-6-5. Be sure and replace the clamps if you removed the lines. You can see pretty much how the lines are inter tangled from the clamp pic. Those...

    Should I mess with it

    Sounding like that, I'd say your pretty much on the timing where it should be. A little puff of black smoke when kicking it is OK good.

    Electrical issue. What kind of connection is this from Ford?

    Self sealing tape is nothing new. Way way back when in the 40's (even before that) it was called Rubber tape, It had to be used and then wrapped with what was called Friction Tape, any HI voltage over 120 VAC had to be wrapped with Glass Cloth tape first, then the Rubber tape, then the Friction...

    Diesel Down! Lift Pump Issue. Advice Needed

    If the nut on the ball joint is/was loose it could. More than likely the ball joint is shot. Do you have a 1/4 of fuel or less in the tank your using? If you do, maybe the shower head has disintegrated and could cause rubber to get into the FSV and plug it up.

    Wahoo!!!!!!!! They're here.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don't quite know what you mean by a wear ridge. But the "tip" of the line has to be lined up almost perfect to the "socket" on either the IP or injector, the line nut cannot pull/push the tip into alignment. Push the tip into the socket by hand, it has to look like it fits a snug alignment, if...

    Yeah, fill the crankcase with cement. What idiot gave you those directions. Girdles go on your gut. Search on how to build an 800 HP. Cost is a reasonable $15,000. :rolleyes:
