Transmission leak? Picturs to follow......
Rear seal not a big deal to replace though expect to get the wrong part at least once or twice from the parts house and/or dealer. just use either a 3 jaw external puller on a slide hammer or a large seal puller and it'll pop out. Installation of the new one is easy I use one of my large...- BJS

Glow plugs
please tell me you're pulling the injectors for some other reason other than to do the GP's if you're just working on the gp's then you do not need to touch the injectors.- BJS

97 F350 Trans problem
the OD light flashes b/c of an error in the trans The hard shifting is a result of the computer putting the trans in what is called "limp home mode" which gives you very hard shifts. Take the truck to a competent shop that can pull the trannycodes. Unfortunately autozoo and the free scan...- BJS

Front rotors on '96 F-250 4WD
for the F350 which I think will apply for the f250 as well that the rotor & hub are a pseudo assembly. Some places sell them as an assembly however they are easily seperated your lugnuts hold the rotors to the hub. To remove you will have to dissassemble hte hub completely. You can use a...- BJS

Radiator hose?
I can say that I replaced my hoses on my '95 last sept when the truck was 9 years old the hoses were the factory parts w/ aprox 150k on them. They were in good shape and still rigid. I replaced them only because I had to replace the waterpump. For hose clamps if you're out to spend extra...- BJS

Looking at an Excursion
There's nothing really wrong with them. I have a custom conversion that's essentially the same thing except w/ the body style prior to the superduties. The earliest 6.0's are somewhat of a gamble as you'll find about 50/50 that love & hate(d) their early ones. Plan on spending some money on...- BJS

galvanized tank and diesel fuel
My truck has a glavanized bronco tank in it and has for the past 10 years. When centruion did the conversion that's what they put in for a fuel tank. I've had no fuel system problems other than a fuel pump that went bad after 150k(normal). I have seen problems w/ WVO in galvanized tanks.- BJS

Best place to get new injectors
Dualie, When I sent my injectors to bean they did tell me that some of my poppet valves were out of spec and those were corrected while they had them. In all honesty give BDP or Swamps a call and ask them directly. I've found that when I expected to get non-answers I got straight answers...- BJS

PSD vs PSD
yep you can use either long block in either truck. There were some changes in the head castings in an attempt to minimize the noise from the engine over the years but as far as mechanical interchangeability no difference. Oh wait I take that back on the early obs heads he intake ducts are...- BJS

VW Jetta and/or Passat

Turbo Pedestal Seals
From what I've read (I haven't done it myself) it's not extremelty difficult mechanically more that it's a PITA to reach all the way back there to the turbo and do the work. The boots tend to not need replacing unless you tear them somehow. The up pipe gaskets & the manifolds tend to...- BJS

JOHN WOODS?
Honestly I think that the secrets of building a very strong E4OD or 4r100 are becoming much more common for those in the trans business. The pieces are readily available from what I understand and it's pretty much common knowledge of what fails and what needs to be upgraded. It's just a matter...- BJS

99 psd zf in my 97?
Here is a link to a guy who used a 2wd ZF in an early bronco and what he did to make it work. It is a pseudo divorced setup. A divorced mount NP 205 would be another option for you to use that 2wd ZF if you decide to go that way I happen to have one I'm trying to get rid of.- BJS

Small problem need advice
Yep the WTS light still comes on when the GPR is toast or even unplugged. I lucked out and got a truck wired with a nice little plug for the triggering wires on the GPR and right now mine is unplugged and I still get the WTS light. So yes replace the GPR an that should solve the problem.- BJS
