    After overheating and headgasket change just 100psi compression - no start

    A friend of mine had bad luck with his K30. The lower radiator hose blew apart and he lost all his coolant and overheated the engine because he didn't notice it fast enough. As he wanted to pull to the side it already was too late and the motor started to die and stopped running. He got towed...

    Weird oil gauge movement

    After a long time I'm back with a weird problem with my oil gauge on my 88 7.3. I know that it's just a 'idiot light' and not meant to be moving - but now it does !!! ...but in a 'bad' way: If i accelerate the pressure drops so far that the engine light comes on. If I let off the throttle it...

    What brake master cylinder / brake booster to get ? (and more)

    I'm about to place a order at rockauto for some parts and my F350 needs a new brake booster badly. It's loosing vacuum pretty fast. I though if I'm into it so far I just order a new master cylinder too. My question is, at rockauto there are master cyl. with different bore sizes. Which one should...

    Flickering high beams

    This evening I was driving home from a little car show and just before I arrived at home my high beams started to go off and on rapidly. As soon as I switched back to normal driving lights everything was okay. If I switch back to high beams they work but after some time (seconds to half a...

    Is this behavior normal (revving) ?

    Today just out of curiosity I floored the gas pedal for the first time since I own "this" truck (96 F250, bought it in arround april 2014) because i read about the 'skip' at arround 2200 rpm if you have bad injectors. Throughout the rpm band it revved fine till 3000 rpm and then it revved up to...

    New rear tires for open diff 2wd F250 ?

    I'm looking for new rear tires for my 96 F250 because the Yokohama Geolandar tires that I'm currently running (from the pre-owner) suck on light muddy terrain and even on gras. It just needs to be a bit wet and they start to spin "all day long" LOL It doesn't help that the truck is only 2 WD...

    OBS 7.3 engine lights

    One question: The OBS Powerstrokes (in my case a 96, F250) have these lights near/arround the "wait to start" light (engine temp, fuel filter, ...) I noticed after I bough the truck a couple month ago they don't light up like others I seen on youtube when i crank the engine. The only light...

    96 PSD is pushing the dipstick out ???

    I noticed today that my 96 PSD ist pushing the dipstick out of the tube after driving for a couple km / miles. If I open the oil fill cap there is no excessive blow by just a little bit... Any thoughts what could cause that? I don't think my PCV is plugged but I'm not 100% sure on that...

    ZF5 noise in 3rd gear

    I bought a 96 F250 PSD a couple weeks ago and the ZF5 in it makes noise in 3rd gear. It sounds a bit like if it would be in reverse. The truck has 222200 miles on it. I don't know when the fluid was changed last time and normally I change all my fluids if I buy a "new" car/truck but I want...

    Where to buy a dual mass flywheel for my 96 PSD ?

    As some of you may know I bought a 96 F250 2WD last week with the ZF5 in it. (222000 miles) When I start it up it starts fine but rattles a bit, if I press the clutch in when I slow down it shakes/rattles a bit too and if I shut it down it quits with this typical "clunk". So I think I need...

    Does a E250 windshield fit a F350?

    Does anybody know if a 1987 E250 windshield and chrome frame fits a 1988 F350 ? I'm asking because I'm missing half of my chrome frame and I want to cut out my windshield to repair rust (and if it brakes I would have a spare). Thanks Chris

    Now since it's april I can drive my truck again (it's only registered/insured from april till october and not through the winter) and discovered a little problem: If I drive slowly over bumps or something that makes the truck twist a little bit, like a driveway that goes up or downhill, there...
