    Think they got cold.....

    Last thing the first guy said before heading onto the ice was "Hold my beer and watch this" Last thing the guy on the yellow one said "I can't believe the ice wouldn't hold that!"

    Wait till you get a load of this.....

    In the legal sense what the original poster is towing is a full trailer. That is a trailer with a steering axle attached to the towing vehicle in such a way that the towing vehicle bears very little of the weight of the trailer. A big rig is a semi-trailer, which means the towing vehicle bears...

    Valve Cover Gasket P/N

    I just saw this for the first time - thought I would post just in case you still need the information. International should be cheaper. International part numbers off my last receipt from them: 1815923C92 harness, need two per side - one covers two injectors/glow plugs 1818350C2 valve cover...

    Glow Plug Replacement Help?!

    Click THIS LINK to go to an excellent article on the system, testing and replacement. It helped me a lot when I did mine several years ago. One thing has changed - the part number at AutoZone is now ZD-11 instead of ZD-10. The glow plugs come in Motorcraft part bags with Ford part numbers on...

    a/c squealing

    A/C Compressor or clutch bearings - if it were my truck I would try the clutch assembly rather than just the bearings. Dave / Believer45

    air box mod

    I did mine from NAPA with a short 4" exhaust cut down to 6" long, a constant torque clamp and the filter shown. It sits on the inner fender where the old one was. The intake air temp sensor is wire tied to the fender brace just behind the battery, you can see the white zip tie holding it. I get...

    Odd Steering Question

    First thought would be belt tension if it is that kind of noise. Second would be grease in the front end parts if it is a metal to metal kind of noise. Best bet, as you say, get under it with someone you trust inside and check things out. Dave / Believer45

    Towing Question

    If you can find a pintle hook drawbar for the reciever that has a high enough rating it should be fine. Another option is a rear bumper similar to MINE but you need to be sure your pintle hook is rated for the load. I have seen ratings as low as 2500 lbs trailer weight. Description of how...

    how much have you hauled....

    Won't win the gross weight contest but may qualify for stupidest tow. Early 1980s Chevette diesel (52 hp Isuzu with 5 speed) towed a 2500 lb loaded trailer 300 miles from NE Ohio to SW Ohio not once but TWICE. Coming out of Columbus on I-71 I hit a headwind and could not get over 45 mph. I...

    From my 95 factory manual -- For vehicles equipped with the 7.3L Diesel Engine, this transmission requires use of synthetic MERCON® (Ford part number E6AZ-19582-B, or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M2C163A2) Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid or equivalent. No special...

    tractor weight?

    Check www.yesterdaystractors.com - it has a wealth of information on older tractors. For specs try THIS LINK to tractordata.com - it shows the weight at 2589 lbs, if the tires are filled with liquid add 400 lbs per tire or so. I would think you are fine on a car hauler. They also show...

    '94 powerstroke hot start problem

    This helped me a lot when mine failed on a trip from Cincinnati, OH to Charlotte, NC. LINK TO ANOTHER SET OF INSTRUCTIONS - this one says you need a special wrench for the large stamped nut but mine worked fine without, I used a 3/4" combination wrench. You do not need to disassemble the IPR...

    Hydrolocked with plow on how to tow?

    CLICK HERE to go to a good web site for big truck breakdowns. If you register then go in and go through the steps look for a towing company, call and see if they have either a lowboy or a rolloff that will handle 8000 lbs of vehicle. I would think a rolloff would be best, loaded on backwards...

    Coolant Test Strips

    The concern with using a surge tank is the coolant is not circulated through the tank on a conventional setup. If yours is like mine, the surge tank is pressurized and the coolant circulates through it so the mix there should match the mix in the entire cooling system. In my case, I am OK...
