    What are all the color wires leaving the alternator? Do you have a external voltage regulator? What year truck are you working on?

    Underhood vacum

    Remember the servo has two vacuum lines going to it. One is the supply, the other one leads to under the dash and goes to a mechanical vacuum switch that bumps against the brake pedal The one that goes under the dash is a exhaust port. When you touch the brake while in cruise, besides...

    Grease for driveshaft slip yoke splines?

    Be careful saying that. For example you have wheel bearing grease which is much thicker than chassis grease. We were also where I work using a lubriplate white grease in a high speed bearing application. The bearings kept going out. That is when we noticed when we took them apart, there was...

    Exhaust Manifold Removal

    The one new one I put on was a Dorman and it seems to work fine so far.

    Exhaust Manifold Removal

    You have to admit these engines are noisy. I drove mine for several years and had several inspections till it opened up bad enough for me to go "hey, this thing is nosier than it should be". Had a big hole in the manifold. A lot quieter now.

    Exhaust Manifold Removal

    About a year ago I was panicking because they were out of stock on the driver's side. I did not need that side, but the pass side was pretty rough with a hole in it and I predict I will need the driver's side one day.

    Exhaust Manifold Removal

    I see you can get the left or driver's side manifold now(double the price though). For awhile you could only get the pass side new.

    Exhaust Manifold Removal

    This little set of "socket easy outs" saved my bacon when I did this job. The bolt heads are so disintegrated, no socket was going to fit them. One trick I found with these, if you use some sort of impact with them, they will not work. You have to use a wrench or ratchet, and slowly twist on...

    What is the preferred method for lining up the axle pivot bushings on twin traction beams with leaf springs?

    When you do serious work like this on one of these leaf spring frontends, you come to realize how much of a bind the front leaves and the shackle bushings for the leaf springs are really in. No wonder the leaf spring bushings do not last very long, especially the shackle bushings up front.

    Fuel tank showerheads

    Yes, 4 prong would be for a 460 equipped truck with the hot fuel handling option(which most had) which had a lift pump inside each tank. I think we talked about this before, not sure if anyone has done it yet, but do not see why you could not use a piece of steel or copper/nickel line to bridge...

    Clinking( metal clicking) noise when rolling

    There is no adjustment for the brakelight switch. It uses that hokey setup that Ford came up with years and ago and used on all their vehicles. The brakeswitch just floats back and forth on the pedal arm. It is mounted by the pin that actuates the brakes. The hole in the booster is way...

    Clinking( metal clicking) noise when rolling

    Just remember, a rotation squeak in the u-joints is going to be 3.5 to 4 times faster than a squeak out at the wheels/brakes.

    1992 f250 dana 50 auto locking hub

    The electric clutch is only so you can engage 4x4 on the fly while moving. You can use auto hubs without the electric transfer case, you just have to treat it like you have manual hubs and stop before engaging 4x4. If your auto hubs are working correctly, you can get under the truck with...

    Injection pump cores.

    They are needing cores because they get the ones that were used with WMO and some are not rebuildable. Don't you remember a few years ago the Agnem guy was asking for good cores for this reason?

    6.9 IDI questions

    Check the sending unit pipes on the top of the tank carefully. They like to rust and will develop small pinholes that will let the lift pump suck a little bit of air in the line.

    gas station diesel

    I guess if you consider my thoughts on WMO, I would be considered negative by some people. To me, if you want to sacrifice your injection pump to save thousands of dollars on fuel, then that is your choice. Subtract the cost of getting a new pump every few years, you most likely will still...

    T-Case adjustment?

    #389240-s100 is the large pivot bolt. #58695-s is the smaller bolt.

    T-Case adjustment?

    You should have a huge bolt that the shifter pivots on, and a smaller bolt next to it. Between these two bolts, you have lots of slop and thus adjustment. The smaller bolt along with the large bolt attach what you would call a "gate". This has the stops on it. Sorry though, this is all...

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    Just making sure. I would keep it like that till you got it running. Attack it in baby steps.

    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    So you have verified you have 12v while cranking and in run at the IP? Or are you using a jumper wire to the battery there also?

    Has anyone ever tried maxing out cetane boost in synthetic WMO to avoid friggin' around with the timing?

    I was wondering if you could burn synthetic at all and apparently you can. Years ago we had these large screw compressors in the plant, and when you changed the oil there was a lot of it. One of the guys had a waste oil burner for his shop, got a barrel of the old oil to burn for heat, it...

    Frick fluken radio questions

    What radio do you have? I am not seeing that square chunky connector for the radio. They keep showing a long skinny rectangular connector. The one on the left is the speakers, the one on the right is for power and other various things like the dash lights.

    AC clutch wiring.

    The pink/lightblue goes to the computer for the E4OD. If you have a manual transmission, it may be just hanging there from the factory. My 89 has something that looks like a MAP sensor on the firewall, but it came from the factory with a c6. Never have figured that out, but the factory did...

    AC clutch wiring.

    Here's the diagram. Leaves the clutch connector and goes right to a diode resistor assembly. From there it goes to the low pressure switch on the dryer can.
