    Stranded in SD with loose shifter. Help please

    Hello, I am stuck in San Diego after driving in this morning. Over the last couple days I have had to shift almost to 2 to get it in drive (c6 trans). I did not think much of it, but this morning my friend was moving the truck to our camping area and the shifter would move freely but the trans...

    Steering Lock Lever Replacement

    Another day, another problem :mad: So I drained my radiator the other day and upon finding it pretty full of crap, I decided to try to clean it out with a 1:5 mix of muriatic acid and letting it sit overnight. Astoundingly, it cleaned the exposed brass but didn't do a thing to the deposits...

    Pre-turbo exhaust leaks

    I have had a persistent leak in the turbo inlet since I got this truck. It's enough so that the entire top of the engine is coated in soot. Tonight I decided to do a little wrenching on it and found that it is not at the turbo flange as I previously thought. I found that the (majority) of the...

    Ignition Switch replacement

    Hey again, Truck has been shutting off randomly, and I thought it was a mechanical issue. Come to find out the electrical portion of my ignition switch is bad/loose and the switch will come to rest in between crank and run or in between acc and run. When this happens the motor dies and...

    Banks sidewinder exhaust leaks

    I've been working on my 87 6.9 for the last couple weeks. I bought 10 injectors off of rockauto.com, and had them pop tested. Good thing I did as 2 were bad right out of the box :) Problem is I somehow crossthreaded the #1 injector (see my other thread) and ended up destroying the injector...

    Need a fuel system overhaul soon

    So my truck has a little over 120k miles on it and I have been consistantly getting less than 10 mpg. I inspected the injector system for leaks and I can see some fuel sweating from the return lines on a couple of injectors. The entire engine has factory grey paint on it. I've read here that...

    Hey guys, I had the crappiest thing happen to me today and was hoping someone could help me out. My wife went on a 300 mile round trip today and when she got home was complaining that the truck smelled like diesel. We went out to dinner and when we got there I noticed a trail of diesel coming...

    cleaning fuel system, have questions

    I was looking for some Auto-Rx because I've seen it recommended on this forum before. I wasn't able to find it at Kragen's so I wound up just getting sea foam. I ended up taking the fuel filter off, draining it, and putting an entire can in there, and then another can in the crankcase. I ran the...

    07 Just Quit Running

    I work for a government agency that spends a lot of time off pavement in trucks. On Friday one of my co-workers was driving his truck and all of a sudden it just stopped running. The truck will crank no problem but it seems like it's not getting fuel. The truck is an 07 with about 36k miles on...

    Running WMO

    I've seen references to running WVO and WMO on the forums... Ovbiously WVO means waste vegetable oil, and I've heard of people running it before... When people talk about running WMO, are they referring to waste motor oil? As in... change your oil and throw it in the fuel tank? If so, I have...

    Using an 87 F250 as my daily driver

    Last year when Diesel was over $5 a gallon here in Commiefornia, I saw a ton of old ford diesels going cheap on craigslist. My brother was looking for a truck but was afraid that it'd be too expensive to maintain a diesel. I convinced him that it was the way to go since it offers so much more...
