    Front wheel bearing in a 4x4?

    I started noticing a sound in my truck at high speeds: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?65039-Noise-at-high-speeds I looked at both wheels in detail today, and on the right, where the spindle/shaft goes into the wheel, it is off-center. The driver's side was centered...

    Noise at high speeds

    Hello all, I'm back with a noise issue on my '94 7.3L 4x4 turbo. My right back tire has had some bad luck lately, and I've picked up about 4 nails/screws/metal chunks over a 4 week period. Anyway, the last time, I had my spare on few a while, like 100 miles. Nothing happened, everything ran...

    Grinding noise when turning, but only at certain point in turn

    My power steering box was going out, and I noticed a weird problem. When I turn right, at about 1/8 of the turn, I hear a kinda grinding noise. It is like something rubbing/grinding. At first, I thought "oh, wheel bearing". But, It sounds more to the center of the truck, not either side...

    94 Turbo won't start when hot, this is after the IP rebuld!

    Ok, around Christmas, I did an injector/IP change on my '94 7.3L turbo. We also changed all lines, o-rings, fuel pump, filters, radiator, glow plugs, etc. The truck runs great after the work, but one thing doesn't: it won't start when hot. It basically happens after the truck has been...

    radiator ports? I've got too many

    So, I picked up a radiator today, after my last one got trashed by my fan coming off and going through it. Taking the old radiator out, there are 4 ports on the bottom tank. As you face the engine and look down, the right one is the bottom coolant hose, then a tranny hose, another tranny...

    Fan+Clutch came off!

    I had my water pump replaced about 6 months ago. Today, I was setting up to change a transmission hose that goes to the bottom of the radiator. Anyway, long story short, I moved the truck about 20 ft to a flat spot, and when I stopped, I heard a big crash in the engine. I turned it off and...

    Surging on cold start

    I've got a 94 F250 7.3L idi turbo. Overall, it is a great truck. There are a few little issues with it (like the AC), but in general things work fine. Recently, it developed a problem where on cold starts it surges/revs and drops. revs and drops. It doesn't hold up at 1500 rpm like it used...

    Got my centrifuge!

    woo hooo! I am excited! I got a centrifuge from PABiodiesel, just one of the 60 gph ones, complete with motor and pump. I'm collecting all the fittings I need to get my barrel going, and then I can start playing around. My plan is to use mostly hydraulic fluid and ATF. I've located a few...
