    Stuck caliper

    I wanted to bleed the system but I had no one to pump the pedal. I couldnt do it so I had to make due. I dont drive the truck ever really, I am out of town 5 days a week and it just sits there. Ill bleed the brakes next weekend.

    Stuck caliper

    Pulled the wheel off today and pulled the slides. They were in there pretty good but didnt fight me. However they were pretty dirty and there was no signs of any anti seize applied to them. Si I cleaned em up and put a liberal amount of AS on em. Now it no longer sticks, but my brakes are soft...

    Stuck caliper

    Im gonna throw a c clamp on it and see if I can get it to stick again. If it does I am going to try and borrow a heavy duty jack and stand. I have the Harbor Freight 3 ton steel low profile jack and that seems to work well, maybe I will go buy their heavy duty one too for the truck. Just cant...

    Stuck caliper

    Just would be in town, a 5 min drive at 25-30 MPH. Truck hasnt hauled anything really heavy since I have owned it. Just used it to pick up a car a couple times with a car hauler. Just little imports though. Trailer had good brakes on it. I might just go buy a set of stands and jack that can...

    Stuck caliper

    Truck is 2WD dually, passenger front wheel. I dont drive the truck very often, once or twice a week. Brakes were are redone when I bought the truck less than 2 years ago. I do NOT have the equipment to put this thing on stands and pull the wheel off it and dont have the cash to pay...

    Starter/wiring question

    I have 0G laying around and new terminals so I am going to fix the grounds for sure. I wouldn't think it a dirty solenoid because It hasn't even had a chance to get dirty, unless its bad. I know I need to change at least one terminal, its corroded. However there was a length of factory...

    Starter/wiring question

    I changed the starter in my truck about a week ago. It had an old mitsu unit in it that died. I put in the new nippon denso style one that many refer to as a high torque starter. Before I did that, I changed out my positive battery cable for one I made, solid copper lugs, soldered and crimped...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It wasnt bad, was almost 50 out that day, and I have had the starter out before to change the solinod on it. Had the starter out in a couple mins, took longer to find a replacement.

    aquired 20 gallons of pink colored marine diesel fuel. anyone ever used it???

    I bet with the money they pay everyone to oversee the the ORD fuel is being used legally could just cut some of the taxes back and not let it matter. And if its their policy to not dip anything older than 1980 thats something good to know.

    let the upgrades begin

    Im interested in the seats your doing. My front seat is desperately needing replacement. Pass side is jammed all the way back and the previous owner had to of weighed a few hundred more than I.

    Truck cranks slow after sitting.

    How old are the batteries and the starter? I had this same problem, looked at my batteries and they were 4 years old. But a nice set of interstate megatrons from my local interstate distributor for $124 out the door and now the only time I have trouble is when its below 0 for a few days. My...

    For those needing a boost gauge..

    Thank you, maybe I will get around to installing it tomorrow. It all depends on if my turbo install goes along painless on my DSM.

    halp, ignition switch snapped!

    Is there a way to bypass this if it breaks?

    For those needing a boost gauge..

    How well does it work? I have not installed mine, but the tubing kit I ordered looks like it will be pretty painless. Whats a good boost source to connect the gauge to on my turbo kit?

    What did everyone else do with their tax return

    I bought a racecar project, bought the $140 in fuel to get it, some ATF, new trans cooler line, and a 16G turbo for said racecar. Thats about it right there. However what I got for free was a pissed off GF, I havent had the car long enough to even think about working on it yet, but she is...

    Intake hats

    Will I need to reclock my turbo to intercool my truck? When do you need payment by?

    why are these trucks so rare?

    Im in Michigan and I see at least a dozen or so IDIs on the road if I go out of town. In town I see a ton of Ford trucks, not so many IDIs in town, but they are definitly common out here. I see more Ford pickups on the road here than anything else.

    Push button glow plug warning light

    I have the WTS light, and a lighted rocker that you have to hold down for it to run the plugs. I didnt do this mod, previous owner did it. Looks good and it functions well. Wouldnt have it any other way.

    Coolant leak.

    I had to back those bolts out about a quarter inch to get a good hold on it with that tool. Also when you do this, line the bolts up so the heads are in the right direction for the fork to securely grip them. That was how I managed to do it. I am talking about the 4 bolts on the fan clutch.
