    swapping from synthetic to conventional oil. will it hurt it?

    If your not extending your drain intervals and don't care about the added protection of Synthics than there is not a problem. Make sure your changing the oil in the high pressure oil resevoir. There is 3 quarts in there that don't cycle very well and you won't see anything in the Ford Manual on...

    First IDI - F250 dually 4x4

    The return line kit will fix that issue. air is being drawn into the injectors, I have the same issue. John Riggins (Riggo) is a Hall of Fame Inductee. Everbody knows him in DC. I would think that might increase the price of the truck on resale. Redskins fans are nuts about the team. I still see...

    Injection pump or headgasket

    Yeah i know i just wish it was running so i could test combustion gases in antifreeze to confirm head gasket. When a truck runs lean because IP is going bad will it cause white smoke?

    Injection pump or headgasket

    Looking at a 1988 F-250 that does not run. Owner said it lost power and was blowing white smoke from exhaust. Mechanic (not diesel mechanic) told him he thought it was injection pump or injectors. Injection pump would be loss of fuel so would no fuel account for the white smoke? Looking at it...

Rear requires you drop the pan and adjust. Losen lock nut tighten to specific torque, (sorry can't rember of top of...

    How to replace your mechanical fuel pump with a Facet Duralift electric fuel pump

    After studying the install i only have one question. The fuel line that comes into the mechanical pump from the tank is pulled off the pump and routed to the inlet side of the electric pump. Is the line long enough to reach or are you splicing into it to extend it?
