    My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD

    I must update my previous comments. There was nothing wrong with my IP. Can't believe now I even suspected it. My starter was trashed! when I tested it after removal, it would barely turn over and screeched with worn out bearings. No wonder.... But these Powermaster starters are amazing! It...

    I'm glad you sorted yours out. Sorry it was the engine, but now you got something for way into the future.

    My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD

    Thanks. Well, I started thinking about my ip but I'd never suspect it, it's a Conestoga also, but I've been suspecting my starter for awhile. I ordered a Powermaster yesterday, my present starter turns over slower than it used to. Also need to add some clear line just to check for air...

    My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD

    I'm dying to know, did it turn out to be the IP? or the starter? I'm having a similar problem and I just started testing the IP, because I never suspected it, being only about 10k miles on a new IP. My starter is old though.

    gonna try my hand at return line repair

    To slide new ones on trouble free, take a spare piece of 1/2 inch copper plumbing pipe with a clean pipe cutter edge. 6 inches is fine. Now rub the edge with sand paper starting at about 120 grit go to 220 grit to relieve the sharp edge. If you have a buffer, buff the edge with some...

    Dang Squeaky Noise

    My belt has been squeaking for years, just like this, and I spray silicon lubricant on it and it goes away for days. I just got concerned today that maybe my VP was bad too, so I found this thread. lol, guess it's time for a new belt. It's at least 10 years old. Gotta check tomorrow which...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Got new headlights installed, new headlight switch ( that's what broke ) changed a few burned out dash lights. Installed a headlight relay kit from lmc. What a difference lenses make. Btw, the plugs on the back of the dash gauges were stuck to the circuit board, like glue! So didn't want to...

    Towing ?

    I have a stupid question.( I probably have to make another long tow before installing a pyro): When do egt's rise the most, lugging up a hill as the rpm's drop , or winding it up, lower gears, up a tough grade?

    Towing ?

    Where is the good place to tap the manifold? near the back cylinder on the passenger side? I guess there's not enough room to drill much past that point.

    Towing ?

    On a naturally aspirated stock tuned ip, is using a pyro necessary while towing? I was under the impression the turbo created the hi temps. I don't tow over 7500# with my na stock setup. But I don't have a pyro.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well, since last Wednesday my truck's been busy. Hauled 7.5k trailer to SW Va. and back, 1300 miles rt. Truck ran great. BUT.. 200 miles from home headlights went out, at sun down, of course! Luckily the hi-beam flasher is on different circuit so went the rest of the trip, thru NYC holding the...

    variable orifice tube ?

    I'm hoping this is closer to normal pressures and temp. Gonna try what I read on another thread. They said remove the blower and spray evaporator cleaner inside then check the condensate drain is clear. I guess then rinse it real good.

    variable orifice tube ?

    I adjusted the low pressure cycling switch to cut off at 20F. now temp at the vent is 50F. Ambient temp is 75F. And the suction line is cold all the way to the compressor. This is within 5 minutes of starting the engine, regular cool and low fan, doors shut.

    variable orifice tube ?

    variable orifice tube ?

    Well I finally got around to the AC repair after all this time because of busy stuff stopping any work on it during most of August, but thanks to all the very helpful advice it's up and running pretty good! A few interesting notes though. The old orifice tube ( all parts were original) was...

    variable orifice tube ?

    I didn't realize low charge could cause freeze up. I also use my ac a lot of the time for high humidity and moderate temps. Also almost any time its raining my windows fog up in my reg. cab and the ac defrost saves the day. I will keep this in mind.

    variable orifice tube ?

    I'm going to hold off on deciding to use pusher fans and see how this will perform. I don't see much above 90 F but in the future I will be travelling to hotter climes. But I'm getting ahead of myself, first I gotta get to work!
