    Rear main seal leaking

    I cant see the drain hole, there is some minor oil in the valley and has been for some time, seems to accumulate for HPOP area over time. I will have a better look. Might remove the intercooler piping to actually see better in there to possibly see something dripping.

    Rear main seal leaking

    Ive developed a bad engine oil leak from the bellhousing area on my 99 7.3. No major leaks up in the valley or under the turbo, the rail plugs area on the back of the heads are dry. Just some "sweating" around the HPOP and that's about it....unless I'm missing something?. I switched to...

    1999 7.3 A/C compressor delete and belt question

    Update. After aprox 800 miles, I had a continuously squeaking serp belt. Ok, tossed a new belt on. It seemed ok for about a day then it started squeaking again. So upon a VERY close inspection, I realized that the Dorman compressor delete pulley (the entire thing including mounting bracket)...

    7.3 PSD, Best starter

    A few months into the new Delco now and not one hiccup and many many starts, and a few hard starts for unrelated reasons. I know a few months isn't a long time or it never used to be, but with all the crap on the market now....I'm kinda impressed. However, with the PSD's I would always...

    Lift pump replacement time

    Well....the main reason I don't go electric on 94-97 psd's is because they don't seem to have the air intrusion/drain back issues that the idi's did. Or at least not as common. So I like to keep non electronic things in service whenever possible but with the idi's man sometimes its tough to...

    1999 7.3 A/C compressor delete and belt question

    Yup stock belt fits perfectly with that Dorman a/c delete pulley. The delete kit however is very cheaply made, I hope it lasts a while. The pulley itself is plastic with lots of play in the bearing, not sure what kind of bearing is in there, I was scared to take it apart in the event that I...

    Airtex electric fuel pumps

    Just finished installing the Airtex, kinda got into a hurry. I logged the mileage and the hrs, we'll see how it does. Installed an inline pre filter and cleaned tank screens while I was at it. So its got everything going for it. I think I will order another one and keep it behind the seat...

    Airtex electric fuel pumps

    For 99 and up electric fuel pump trucks: Are the Airtex electric fuel pumps worth putting in as a stock replacement or are they junk? I have one sitting on the shelf, would be convenient to use it but if its only going to last a year, I will wait a couple days till I can order a better one...

    1999 7.3 A/C compressor delete and belt question

    I have a 99 7.3 with a non functional a/c, its not functioning for several reasons and here in Canada I really don't need a/c at all and never desire even using it so I'd like to remove the compressor and all is fixings to eliminate one more potential failure item and make for better access to...

    7.3 PSD, Best starter

    What are the current thoughts on what starter is the best for our 7.3's? I'm needing a new one for my 99 F550. Thinking about going thru DB Electrical. Any suggestions? Thanks

    1999 Super Duty Headlight upgrade

    I really do like the vocational style headlight setup. Certainly more headlight options also, And those lights are something else alright. Will the vocational setup be difficult to install or is it pretty straight forward? And are there suggestions as to where I can get the vocational setup?

    1999 Super Duty Headlight upgrade

    I'm desperately needing to ditch my factory faded plastic headlights on my 99 F550, for some better ones. What is a good HID kit that I could order? I do want a plug an play option, not interested in doing the 05+ headlight mod at the moment due to time restraints. Any thoughts would be...

    7.3 Superduty stumbles when returning to idle

    Hmmm, you say it can't? If it could, would that be a dealer thing? Today it even stalled once, it didn't catch itself in time and it quit in the middle of an intersection. Fired up no prob but still not good.

    6.9 -- late S/N vs. early S/N block question

    I run several early ones. I just don't use the block heater and use an alternative instead such as a lower rad hose heater or whatever. You probably don't even need one in Texas. I think the early ones lacked piston cooler jets also. But regardless, I have put many many trouble free miles on...

    7.3 Superduty stumbles when returning to idle

    Mobil 1 instead? That's what I usually use. I was in a pinch when I bought the T6. Just got the truck, wanted to dump whatever was in it asap. T6 is all I had that day. And Baldwin 7039 filter

    7.3 Superduty stumbles when returning to idle

    1999 7.3 Superduty ZF6, when coasting in gear, no throttle for any length of time, then the clutch is depressed and engine is allowed to return to idle; the idle will keep dropping below 500rpm then catches itself just before it stalls and then settles and a nice steady smooth idle. It does...

    1999 Superduty Power Windows not working

    I jumped the window motor out from the battery as there is no power from the light blue wire w/ black tracer, as I believe there is supposed to be anytime the key is either ON or ACC. The lock/window illumination fuse is fine, not sure about the #4 relay under the dash. I'm betting that might...
