    FS: 1993 F-250 XL Extended Cab, LWB, 4x4 7.3 IDI in Arkansas

    I've had this truck for almost 5.5 years. It has served me well as a work truck. These days it gets driven less, and less. I keep finding more and more excuses to not do yard work. I hate to see it sit, when someone else could appreciate it. The truck said to have 146k - but odometer was...

    Glow Plug Relay/Circuit

    My glow-plug circuit was working fine for last 3 years, until last week. I didnt bother looking into it because the truck would start w/o glow plugs... it was hot outside. But now that cold front is coming, I want to fix it. What I have done so far: +12v is present on high side at all times +12...

    No Start Friday!

    Gotta love no-start Fridays - right? Wrong! Lol. This morning I tried to start the truck, ignition on, wait to start light on... all good so far. light goes off, starter on. It turns once, and power fails. No power to starter, no power to dash. No power to horn. None of the fuses are blown...

    4WD ZFS542 Reverse Connector, "ERoTIC" TACH and where in the world is my speedsensor?

    The previous owner played with wiring and snipped of the reverse connector. What reverse connector is it? I need to buy a pig tail for it, and splice it back in. Second issue, when engine comes close to operating temperature, the tach becomes erratic. I'm pretty sure it's the cam position...

    The 50 mile commuter...

    I have been trying very hard to buy a Ford Focus Electric or Nissan Leaf... Ford is ignoring me (hence an email to the CEO), and Nissan dealers are gauging the price on Leaf. There are some amazing advertised specials, and as soon as you mention them, every dealer gets cold feet. The Truck...

    Initial brake bite good.. follow through sucks...

    I am troubleshooting an issue I have dealt for a while My initial brake bite is very good and it slows the car very fast, except, stopping to a complete stop requires significant force on the brake pedal. This issue was same since I bought the truck, except it required significant force to even...

    Please share a pic of your side step and grab rails. My truck is so hard to get into and out of, hence the tear on that pretty blue bench seat. What side step do you recommend? What grab rail do you recommend? Picture is worth a thousand words!

    93 F250 7.3 IDI non-turbo 4x4, 5speed / "131k" miles

    I picked up an old city service truck that was taken care of by the city, but severely neglected by the owners and amateur "mechanics" afterwards. The body is in good shape with no rust, with several dents, and scratched up and dented up bed -- but that gives it more characters. The...
