    Warning: Pentius fuel filter P/N PFB54692

    Ordered five of these from rock auto, because at 7.60 a piece, I figured I couldn't lose. Turns out I could and did. Threads for the water separator are not made to spec, the plastic cartridge spins in the housing (the part with the threads), and the o-rings are all but the wrong size. Don't...

    For the body-shop pros around here

    This is my daily driver truck, I picked it up cheap a few years back and am thinking about getting something else to drive around so I can move this guy to full-project status. Before I dump a bunch of money into this thing, there is this dent in the cab. The previous owner ran the truck into a...

    International Harvester Air Horn

    I've had this for a while intending to hook them up, just never had the spare money to do it. Now I'm cleaning out before a move, and just need to get them out the door. They work fine on shop air; the diaphragms are intact and not rusty. There is some surface pitting on the chrome and the black...

    Auxiliary trans cooler lines

    I have an aux cooler on my truck (in front of condenser) and the rubber lines are starting to swell and show their age. First, what kind of pressure is running through these lines? I assume kind of low. Second, what type of hose to I need to seek out to replace them? The cooler splices into the...

    A couple of issues

    Where does the tachometer in the dash get it's signal from? Occasionally I am getting the "lazy tach", where at an idle up to 1000 rpm or so the needle is at zero, but as soon as I speed the engine up, the tach jumps up to what I think is an accurate reading. The reverse is also true, when...

    Engine oil bypass centrifuge

    I'm looking at doing this some time like the big OTR trucks. Anyone else done it. I'm looking at the spinner II model 25.

    Fighting with the vacuum brakes

    Been dealing with an intermittent hard brake pedal that turned into a brake pedal that'e hard all the time, as in no boost. I drove a 68 f100 with manual brakes in high school, so while disconcerting, the no boost situation is manageable. Anyway, I finally bought a vacuum gauge and got these...

    Thinking on a 99-03 super duty.....

    So I love my truck. Easily the sexiest thing ever made. However, on days when I'm in the truck for a while, i find myself at odds with the thing. From what I can tell, for about 7500-9000 bucks I can be in a 99-03 SD (7.3 only...) with around 180-200K miles with more power, hydroboost, four...

    Added a TDI to the fleet....

    Drove from Ruston, LA to Houston, TX to pick up an 06 TDI Jetta. 135K miles, very clean, runs great. Easily faster than the mustang I traded for it. Made it a round trip, and got in about 1 this morning, and the car was awesome all the way. My wife gets up for work at 5 this morning, drives it...

    Since there seems to be someone around here who can answer just about anything...

    I know there are probably better places to ask this, but I wanted to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge, we have here..... I have to rebuild the CV joint on the front drive shaft in an 01 Dodge Dakota with AWD. By CV joint, I mean a splined end that fits into a disk shaped housing...

    Thinking on picking this one up...

    http://monroe.craigslist.org/cto/3177277127.html I've seen the car, only slight body damage. Still driveable.... I know some members here have these, what kind of fuel mileage can i expect? Heck for the price I may just pick it up, beat the body straight and flip it.

    Not an IDI, but still extremely unique.

    Never seen a Crew cab half ton in that body style. It looks like it says centurion on the hood, so that would explain it. Still a really unique truck. http://shreveport.craigslist.org/ctd/3072712151.html

    Interior work pending...

    Now that I've really gotten the truck running and driving pretty nice, I got the blessing from the wife to move some things around and free up the cash to fix up the interior a bit. I want to go with captains with electric adjustment and adjustable lumbar, probably from a king ranch. I know this...

    Possibly moving north....

    My line of work may find me moving north in a year to year and a half or so. I currently live in Louisiana, at a humble 250ft ASL. The place I may end up is Moscow, ID. At roughly 2500 ASL. I'm considering ditching my current NA 7.3 for a low mile, old body PSD when the time gets nearer because...

    The E4OD gremlins have found me...

    The truck: 1992 7.3 N/A E4OD. Came to me with some sort of Jet brand shift controller. I leave it in the stock position. Pulled codes, but don't know how to make sense of them. I believe they are two digit codes, but have read about three digit codes being used in later models... 23...

    Where to put air horn

    Scored an air horn from an IH truck (the back of horn has IH logo in center and says International Harvester Chicago, IL around the rim) at the flea market this weekend, but the thing is so long i'm not sure where to put it. It's something like 2.5 feet long....

    Really quick brake question

    Quick review: Soft (brake) pedal that slowly sinks to the floor is simply air in the system, right?

    XRF Ball joints

    Started researching ball joints, and XRF's name keeps popping up as having an excellent product. The dodge guys rave about them on their forums (BUt I guess it doesn't take a terribly revolutionary product to improve a goat trucker...). However, I trust you guys more, so my question is, is there...
