    4x4 economics question

    I don't believe the D60 made it into the F350 until the 1986 model year. Up until then , even the F350 was TTB.

    7.3 Head Gasket Replacement-ARP Head Stud Install

    Well, life is really getting in the way of me getting started on this. The truck is running great and is not leaking either, and I have needed it for various things too, so it has also been difficult to take it out of service for a while. I know, excuses, excuses - just get on with it! Anyway, I...

    Project Red Cent

    I originally bought a Powertrax for the rear diff. in my 1997 Ranger. Then I got a deal on an Eaton E-Locker and put that in instead. I know what you mean when you say you feel unstoppable! Got in and out of some tough spots with that Ranger using the E-Locker.

    4x4 economics question

    Well, Kuckledragger, you can count me as one who would tell you to invest in the D60 and do it up right. I have owned more TTB Ford's than I can remember (mostly F150's), but also a couple of F250's and even an Exploder and Ranger. On both the Exploder and Ranger, I put new bushings, ball...

    Retorquing ARP head studs

    Yes, I ordered the ARP lube as well and will be using it when I finally get around to installing the studs. ARP did not spend all that R & D money just so someone could say "oh, that ARP lube isn't necessary". If you go back a number of years before the magic ARP lube, ARP required a re-torque...

    Retorquing ARP head studs

    I bought my studs from Justin. He apparently buys them "in bulk" from ARP and is able to offer a better price. The studs Justin sells are not the boxed up 250-4204 ARP kit. They are the correct ARP studs but arrive bundled up in a plastic bag. They also do not come with the ARP lube. However...

    WTB OBS 92-97 Passenger side crew cab rear door lower hinge spring

    The spring on the right side rear door of my 94 CC has broken in two. I would like to buy just the spring, but one rivet has to be drilled out so I will buy the whole hinge if somebody has one. Dorman makes a half-xss replacement hinge spring for the front doors but nothing is available for the...

    Retorquing ARP head studs

    I thought the re-torque on the ARP studs was no longer necessary when using the special ARP lube:dunno. A re-torque is certainly not part of the ARP instructions that come with the stud kit. However, since the engine is still out and easy to work on, I would say it is not a bad idea either. Not...

    Need a radiator support

    Here is one on ebay right now - the shipping to NJ will probably kill ya though. It is in Iowa. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-1997-Ford-Diesel-7-3-F250-F350-F450-Radiator-Core-Support-part-F01225121-/291769067462?hash=item43eecaa7c6:g:xSgAAOSw71BXPyxj

    Ford Crew Cab rear door hinge springs

    I know there are a lot of 80-97 crew cab owners on here, and with the age of our trucks, issues like this are bound to come up. The spring on passenger's side rear door hinge broke in two the other day. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if the door could be held open. Dorman makes a "spring"...

    A/C orings

    I always "thought" 94 was the changeover year for the trucks so I expected that Jasper "should" already have R134a in his truck. Thanks for confirming that Jasper-just means my memory isn't totally shotLOL

    Bubbles in coolant reservoir, blown head gasket? Cavitation? Something else?

    I am getting ready to pull the heads on my truck (small coolant leak at rear of left head), when the weather eventually warms up a bit. I intend to do an oil cooler reseal after the left head is off. Should have good access to the oil cooler at that point without having to remove the engine. Of...

    A/C orings

    jasper, in my Haynes AC manual, it lists the system pressure ranges for almost every vehicle. For the 1994 model year, the low side pressure for the F Series and Bronco is 28-45. The high side is 128-230. Obviously it depends on ambient temp. I was thinking the general guideline was ambient...

    TPS and Transmission Range Sensor questions

    The oil in the trans harness connector means the seal on the inside of the solenoid pack inside the transmission has failed. You will need to get a new (or rebuilt) solenoid pack for inside the transmission. Not a hard job to change it out, but messy, The pan will need to be dropped. You will...

    Wobbly fly wheel???

    Brian, was this OEM Ford rear main seal that comes with the wear sleeve? I have one on hand but I figured that installing the wear sleeve was required whether or not the crank flange was worn. Otherwise the seal diameter would be too large?

    Vehicle prep before making a long haul ?'s

    blaz4wd, I see you are from Ft. Atkinson. Used to work there many years ago - grew up on a farm near Johnson Creek. If your truck has the serpentine belt drive, definitely check over the belt, tensioner and idler. I had a bearing in the tensioner pulley go bad and leave me stranded once. Now I...

    1989 f-superduty

    I am with FORDF250HDXLT that is probably a worn IP getting hot and the tolerances opening beyond what is acceptable to still build pressure to the injectors. BUT, there is chance that is might be the fuel shut off solenoid. That can get heat soak and the coil in the solenoid "open up" and cut...

    Can't pull fuel from rear tank

    I would suspect a problem with the fuel switching valve. The filter light coming on is indicating a restriction (which would normally be a plugged filter). What might be happening is when you try to switch tanks, the fsv is moving part of the way to make the switch to other tank and then gets...
