    frustrated. need assistance

    Took the truck into town today, ran great the entire time. Got my new 5" CAT stack in, and went for the test drive when it started surging really bad and smoking, then completely died. Fuel filter was empty. Re-primed it with the filter primer and got it running and had no fuel pressure...

    Possible air leak solution?

    I have attached a picture of what I think my air intrusion problem is coming from... This is the hard line going from my lift pump to the filter housing. As you can see in the picture, it goes into the head at an angle. Could this allow air in? There is a rubber O ring inside. Past that I've...

    power comes and goes

    Hello all, Within the past month or so, I've noticed that my truck's power level seems to fluctuate from day to day. Some days, it's really snappy and runs great, and other days (most of the time) its a total slug. Like, having to mash it nearly to the floor to get up to speed. I noticed...

    manually switching fuel tanks?

    Hello, When I bought my 85 F250, the rear tank was full to the neck. I looked at the fuel today, and it has a yellowish tint to it. Is it okay to run the fuel or should I drain it? its about a year and a half old. Second question, my selector switch doesn't work. Is there a way I can...

    bad injection pump question

    Last month I replaced the IP on my 6.9. My question is, are bad injection pumps worth anything to try and sell? I'd hate to just toss a good core if these aren't produced anymore

    truck died

    Yesterday while going to the dump, my truck just completely lost power and died as I was trying to accelerate. My truck has a fuel/water seperator on the firewall with a plunger on it, and as I pump it, fuel was pouring out from around the filter. I threw a new filter on it, stopped the leak...

    winch question

    So the other day when I was playing in the snow and needed my winch, the wire loom that comes from the remote and plugs into the winch pulled out of the plug at the winch. The plug is a round 4 prong, and there is a black, white, red, green, and brown wire. Does anyone know how these are...

    no power

    For the last couple weeks, I have been battling what I thought was an air issue. Today I went for a drive and noticed it seemed low on power. I could hear a miss in the exhaust sound and it was smoking a greyish blue when I was cruising, but none when I took my foot off the gas. Gradually it...

    I have searched high and low looking for information on my transmission with no luck. This is my third pre 90's ford, with a completely different transmission. This truck has a 4 speed with a syncro'd granny low first, and no overdrive. my other trucks either had the OD 4 speed with no low...

    surging while cold

    About a week ago, right as it got cold around here, my glow plugs gave out. before, once I was able to get it running, it wouldn't give me any problems other than a little smoke and the occasional hiccup for the first few seconds. Now with the new glow plugs, it fires right up cold but will...

    weird electrical issues...

    I decided to swap out the non working factory ford radio for a cd player in my 85 3/4 ton the other day, and now I've got electrical problems. Since I installed it, my dash lights haven't worked. It blew the fuse, and as soon as I put a new one in and hit the switch the fuse blows. I didn't...

    First off I'd like to say this site is awesome, I've learned alot just searching the forums. I just picked up an 85 F250 with a 6.9 and a 4 speed. There is a noise coming from the passenger side of the engine, it sounds like a loud tick from the top, and if I stick my head in the wheel well...
