    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    When I go back to the shop Monday I’ll ask them what they think to. Pressure test would be a good idea I suppose

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    My last oil analysis just a few hundred miles ago had no anomalies except for slightly higher traces of lead. Ill look at that area all around there to see if I can locate the source exactly, For peace of mind might do a pressure test to

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    The rear main is leaking, shop verified it. Looks like the owner will be directly involved in the installation of a new seal, think a repair sleeve was mentioned. And I noticed some oil on the back of my drivers side head, wiped my finger on it and doesn’t smell like antifreeze...

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    I had ordered a new set because a mechanic had lost one, that’s probably is it!! Lol, amazing the tools and parts these trucks can hide. Found a few sockets in random places and even a wrench, that valley pan is probably hiding more stuff

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    I decided not to use a pressure washer on my engine, didn’t want to blast it all to hell. Ordered a new Motorcraft CDR valve, retainer and grommet after seeing this Spent about 10m with a flashlight and besides the rear main the only other suspicious area for leaking was at the base of the...

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    I’m going to take it back to the shop Monday, they’re competent people. Work is guaranteed and they had diagnosed a bad rear main as the culprit to. So they’ll have a chance to get back in there and do it better. I’ll mention the speedy sleeve and ask them to check the rtv on the oil pan...

    That’s true, I’m going out to pressure wash it right now and then watch for that leak to reappear

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    Before I had taken it in I had looked all over the top of the engine and carefully inspected anything that could be leaking down to the rear center of my oil pan. I was hesitant to assume a rear main seal leak as I’ve read they seldom fail. Shop did say my rear main was bad after tearing into...

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    Had my rear main seal replaced, a brute force 11” clutch and kit installed and my fly wheel resurfaced. This is what I saw when I pullled my inspection cover before I took my truck to the shop. Shop had used the Felpro rear main seal and the cork gasket for the plate. I asked them to use...

    Super Fridgid Temps = Ign Key Tough to Turn!

    Been using that for years on everything, my favorite lube...well almost everything, lol. Tri Flow works great (except on firearms when it’s below 20*) and has Teflon still.

    New member and possible cold start issue

    It helps to have the length of your fuel line between the caps so that they’re straight, if they’re longer they can apply force to your caps making them want to twist some.

    Cold Starts

    Great points!! Just never noticed it until I installed after market gauges, lol

    Cold Starts

    Incredible what having balanced injectors and a good timing reference does!

    No fuel from injection lines (air)

    What initially caused you to want to purge your fuel system at the schrader valve, was she acting up prior to that?

    Cold Starts

    I don’t think starting the truck off with high idle is that great, takes a few moments in the cold for that oil pressure to come up. I’m running 15w-40, even in Alaska we ran the old 15w-40 Delo oil. I read here how one of the members waits a few seconds to see oil pressure then taps the...

    Cold Starts

    It’s cold out, and with a lot of us in the south whose trucks don’t normally see these kind of temps figured we should post our cold starts in this thread. I know there’s a few of us who like seeing them!! Got down to 22* in Katy,TX at our place last night. Nothing like how it was in Alaska...

    Serpentine swap...yay or nay?

    I like the V belts for the same reasons others had already mentioned, and it’s old school (like my truck). Funny thing about that flappy alternator belt is the reactions ya get from folks while looking under the hood while it’s running....Last week while I was getting an exhaust quote the...
