What differences are there in diesel grades? I always get diesel from Fred Meyer because I can get usually 20c discount and I always add a lubricant to the diesel of some sort, even if ATF is all I've got. I always throw something in it though to lube up that ULSD crap.
Try turning the nozzle upside down. The foam almost always clears up when you do this. It's a bit of a pain, but I do this on my Motorhome because it is such a PITA to fill.
Sorry, didn't realize you were specifically looking for a class A. Born Frees don't come in class A's. The newer ones will come on an F450 or F550 front though.
I was actually not aware of that. Did they put turbo blocks in at least? Mine is a 93 and it appears to be an ATS 093 turbo in there, so I just figured it was a factory turbo. I could be way off though. I need to pull the cover and take a pic for you guys so I can know for sure anyhow.
I too have a diesel Class C. If you want a really high quality motorhome, try to find a Born Free. By percentage, I think there are more Born Free diesels than most other brands. Mine is a 93 factory turbo-diesel serpentine setup with a custom cowl hood with a nice steel box and a panel...
Thanks Mike, for giving all us diesel owners such a great place to learn and get to know people. I've very much enjoyed being here and will continue to be for years to come. Welcome, Bryan, as the new owner. :D
I definitely appreciated having the serpentine in my 93 E350 Class C when my vacuum pump took a dump a few weeks ago. The belt was not even a small issue. The 3 little bolts holding the stupid pump on were a different seized in place story though...
I'm stumped at this point too...The only other thing I can think is perhaps one pulley is just slightly out of alignment so that every time the markings on the belt goes by, it squeaks. Good luck, brother. :)
Maybe check all the pulleys again to see if there is any wobble in any of them. They might spin freely, but if they're not straight or if they wobble at all, that might cause the issue.
I don't think you are having vac pump issues. The vac pump should turn with some moderate force. I assume you have a serpentine setup? Have you checked the tensioner pulley so see if it's on it's way out?
OK, reviving an older thread. I have been searching for a while and have not been able to find anything regarding Intercoolers and E350 chassis. I do have a Born Free. 93 24' turbo IDI. Loaded up she weighs in right at 11,000 lbs and she definitely gets hot going over the pass. I have an...
I do know it will read lower up top than if you put the gauge under the manifold, but keep in mind the Ford oil pumps are high volume, not high pressure pumps. Even up high though, you should be seeing 10lbs at idle and over 30 at speed. I believe I've read that a low pressure problem could be...
My truck runs just over 50 cold idle, just over 40 hot at speed, and about 12-14 hot at idle in gear around 650. Sender is on a grease gun hose attached to the underside of the block on the driver's side. Typ4 recommended putting the sender remotely on a grease gun hose so the engine vibration...
My neighbor's F250 N/A has true duals and it sounds really cool, but it's loud as hell when he's in the throttle. Over 2K RPM's, it sounds like 2 automatic shotguns going off...
Really? I've never seen one except on the F150's of that era. All I've ever seen are the 2-spoke angled steering wheels with the vertical cruise control buttons in the horn pad.
Little ones ride in the back anyway where there are no airbags until they're 80 lbs anyhow then they're not so little. Our diesel trucks can survive most normal accidents anyway and if we get hit by a semi or something, it probably won't matter how many airbags you got in the thing...
