    Saved this old girl from the crusher today

    Family friend of mine called and asked if I would want the old 1 ton that I took a liking to at his house some years ago. Apparently the city said it needed to go.. $400 bucks and it ran just fine when parked 6 years ago. She's ugly on the surface but she's got good bones, and I just know she's...

    No Shift and no Speedo

    91 f250 2wd e4od I suspect it's in limp mode.. It doesn't shift and only does about 35 mph, which is a guess because the Speedo is not working. It also felt like it was slipping at high rpms.. I did some searching and the best I came up with is that the VSS is shot.. Is there a fuse or a...

I got it fired up without using the gp's and while running the harness is still smoking.. I was under the impression those wires only get...

    No start woes

    I replaced all the return lines in the engine compartment, did caps and o rings, switched to 6.9 fuel filter head, new filter. Still won't start after a few hours. Maybe I did the glow plug test wrong.. I used the screwdriver looking tester and hooked it to the pos battery terminal. Then I...

    Broke something again.. pic

    I was starting to do return caps and orings when I broke this. I have a 6.9 I can use for parts but I don't think it has the extra crap for the first injector on the passenger side. How do I fix this?

    Help, diesel down on side of road

    Well, my workers were driving my 87 6.9 f350 to a job when the temp started getting up there. They pulled over and the truck has "sledge" or oil in the coolant reservoir. It was bubbling out I believe. We replace the water pump about 300 miles ago. Please tell me I didnt blow a head gasket...
