    Torque Converter

    Has anyone purchased a torque converter from Precision of New Hampton, Inc? The factory transmission has almost 200k with a lot of towing miles. While I have not encountered any problems other than replacing the front and rear seals, I am thinking it maybe time to start collecting the parts for...

    6.9 vs 7.3 IP

    Can a 6.9L IP be rebuilt for a 7.3L? There a complete 6.9L with oil in the coolant at the salvage yard. Was thinking of grabbing the IP to use as a core. They also had a F550 (ex fire department) '@!%# cash for clunkers. The rear axle, springs and transmission were already gone, oh well.

    Fleetguard combination oil filter

    Fleetguard makes an oil filter with bypass filter. The part number for the PSD oil filter is LF9027. If your not currently running a PSD filter, I recommend purchasing a standard PSD oil filter and checking your clearance between the filter and crossmember before ordering the more expensive...

    a/c question

    Will swapping the a/c condenser to a new style made for 134 refrigerant make a significant improvement without adding electric fans? Due to the intercooler and having a 91 front end, there is no room for pusher fans. The truck has seen limited use the last three months due to poor a/c, but...

    engine heater?

    Does anyone know the name of the company (if they still exist) that makes a coolant storage engine heater? The system waited till the engine was warmed up and then the controller opened a transfer valve which allowed hot coolant to be sent to a highly insulated storage tank mounted under the...

    RABS valve ?

    What is the difference between the RABS valve on the F150s and the F350s (rockauto shows two different part numbers)? I ask because I can get a RABS valve for a F150 for $20.

    Is there any difference between the gasser radiator support and the diesel radiator support on the 92-97? Anything else that might be different?

    fuel additive during storage ?

    What is the best and readily available fuel additive for storing the truck for at least 3 months? Both tanks are topped off with B20. I plan on putting the truck on stands in the next few days to get the weight off the tires. The wife can start the engine every week, but she would prefer not...

    rear fuel tank

    Is anyone running a factory Bronco fuel tank? After the hassles of mixing B100 (from 5 gallon cans) with #2 diesel from the pump while on the road this weekend, I want to add more fuel capacity to the truck. I am debating with two choices. First adding a transfer tank into the bed which is...

    o-ring size for fuel filter?

    It has been a while since I posted... I have a fuel leak on the electrical connection on top of the fuel filter head. Does anyone know the size so I can purchase a new one before disassembly? (I really can not have the truck down for days right now)

    a/c question

    I need to get my truck cooler on 100F days. Several years ago I did the 134 refrigerant change while replacing the compressor. I replaced the orifice tube and the dryer. I used a robinair dial-a-charge to refill the system after pulling a vacuum for 45 minutes. The truck already had the...

    resisted the call to the darkside

    Wife and I drove by a really nice looking King Ranch dually crewcab on Friday. There we sat in the 91, with a missing passenger door panel (can't find a replacement arm rest), no parking brake, blown left rear hub seal, disabled rear anti lock brakes, loose rear axle gears, marginal a/c...

    RABS modulator

    Has anyone ever taken one a part? Can they be repaired without replacing? Mine is intermittently locking pressure to rear brakes and won't release even when the truck is turned off. Takes over an hour for the pressure to bleed down and the rear brakes to release.

    injector pumps

    After reading the link posted by tradergem and the link posted by Diezel_Cowboy, I realized it is the 50th birthday of the model DB injector pump. :yell: Not the best fuel mileage, but reliable. So who is going to test the DS ip and see if we can get an extra 5 mpg?

    fuel tank sending units

    Has anyone worked on a class 8 truck that uses the tube type fuel level senders? Are they better than a standard float and arm type unit? I am trying to decide whether buy replacement Motorcraft senders from RockAuto or replace everything with ISSPRO stuff.

    engine miss

    started the truck up this evening and felt a miss at an idle that did not clear up. At the 3-5 minutes point, it was even worse at an idle, but fine above 1200 rpm. At the 15 minute point after a quick trip down highway, everything was fine. Drove back home and there is no detectable miss. What...

    couple of parts questions

    I swear my truck has been reading this site and getting ideas on how to break. I now have a damaged drivers side parking brake cable and leaking fuel filter. So onto the questions. Is the seal for the electrical connections on the filter head a Ford only part? How about the large seal and...

    vacuum pump

    Has anyone taken a failed vacuum pump apart to see what fails? Just curious. Today, the vacuum pump lost enough vacuum that the a/c & heat controls are no longer working. Seems silly that the first one made it 13 years and the replacement did not quite make 3 years.

    Winch questions

    Is it really that bad on the winch to leave the front of the car/truck pulled down with the winch instead of using a couple of ratcheting straps on the front?

    hydraboost revisited

    After reading the excellent article by Full Monte and doing a search on the subject, one question. Has anyone ever tried the hydraboost unit from GMC or +99 SD since the F450s are hard to find in the salvage yards?

    Has anyone modified the factory carrier to use the spare tire winch from a newer truck? Second question, has anyone tried a 1997 condenser on an earlier truck?

    Difference in alternator brands

    Is much difference between Delco Remy and Leece-Neville alternators? (Looking at 31si or 34si) Or is this a Ford vs Chevy question? Thanks John
