    Sold My Truck

    I want to say thanks to all of those on the forum that have given me advice or information in the past on my truck. I sold my '85 today, just not enough room in the garage to keep it. I got a fair price for it and I think the girl (yes a young woman who trains horses bought it) will enjoy it...

    U Joint How to?

    The front u joint (closest to transmission) is going bad. Can it be replaced without removing the whole driveshaft. Anyone have good instructions on changing this?

    What's it worth?

    Gonna be doing some vehicle selling and buying in the next couple of months. I'm having trouble deciding which to keep and which to sell. I have a 2001 F250 2wd, Ext. Cab, automatic, clean clean truck. "55,000" miles on it. I'm not sure what this truck would be worth (I haven't seen any with...

    Broke Glow Plug Tip follow up

    What would a 6.9 sound like without a glow plug screwed in one of the holes. I broke a stuck tip off and tried blowing it out with compression from the motor. Truck cranks and runs fine but has a definite tick on that cylinder. It looks like the tip is still stuck in the gp hole, but I'm not...

    Ohhhh Crap

    Replacing glow plugs and all WAS going great, until the LAST one. All the old plugs were Beru and not swollen but the carbon was keeping them from coming out easily. So with some spray loosening the carbon and letting them sit for a bit all was going great. Until the last one, didn't use any...

    How Long????

    Silly question, but here goes. I'm replacing glow plugs, originals are beru and not swollen (thank goodness). But there is some carbon build up making them tight towards the end coming out. I soaked em with sea foam deep creep (100% pure petroleum). As you can imagine some of this gets into...

    Problems with truck, question on ATF in filter

    Truck has been sitting most of the winter, I would crank every so often and let if idle for a while. The other day I drove it up town, and thought I had run out of diesel as I have the dreaded 1/4 tank blues. Truck seemed to run fine at highway speeds, but when I let out of it to turn into gas...

    Another Glow Plug Question????

    My wife was going to be nice one morning and decided she would crank my truck for me as she was leaving for work to let it warm up. I got to work and everything seemed fine, until she called and asked "how long is the glow plug light supposed to stay on?". I told her it normally stays on 10...

    Looking for a needle in a haystack

    I'm looking for a tachometer needle for my 85. I have the cluster with tach, but the needle is gone. I've tried some other needles I found at parts house (and one from an 89), but none fit. If anyone has one or knows where I might find one, I'd appreciate it.

    Your thoughts please

    As posted a while back, I recently purchased a very low mileage '01F250 Ext. Cab PSD 2wd, auto (36,000) from an older gentleman. I've drove the truck some and began putting my to do list together. I pulled the fifth wheel with it the other day, and WOW what a difference over the IDI, I can...

    This is an update to the thread "Every Bird Finds a Worm". Bought this truck last weekend, may be one of the lowest mileage 2001 7.3 Pwrstrokes left in Texas (got all service records and documented the miles). Had to buy a 33' Fifth wheel with it to get it, but selling it won't be a problem...

    Every Bird Finds a Worm

    Every Bird Finds a Worm (Pics Added) Wasn't in the market for a truck, but one fell in my lap. I had to buy a travel trailer with it because it was a package deal from an elderly gentleman. We already have a fifth wheel, so now I have to get rid of one of the trailers (haven't decided which...

    New Addition

    I've had a few IDI's over the years, and have always wanted a Powerstroke. We do some RV'ing and pull a 30' Alfa Fifth Wheel (11,000lb). Took a trip this summer and the IDI did great, but left me wanting a little more on the hills. I was considering putting a turbo on the 6.9, but for all...

    If you've read my other post "is someone pulling a fast one" this will make sense. Basically pierce fuel pump in carter box. I called Carter today and told them my situation. I wad told Pierce makes all mechanical fuel pumps for our application in the USA. He stated there are some over seas...

    CDR clean or replace?

    I've read some have cleaned the CDR valve. I pulled mine off today because I noticed some oil on the soupbowl. I can blow air through both holes, no restriction when blowing on either side. I'm thinking a new one is what is needed. When I took it out there is a tube that goes in to the...

    Ordered a Carter Mechanical fuel pump from parts store, it was part # M60278. My wife stopped and picked it up Friday for me. The box is a Carter box, but the pump has Pierce stamped into it. Also while I was researching the pump swap someone had posted pictures of a Carter and another less...
