    Potential but or money pit

    Alright y'all. I found an 07 F250,extended cab, 4wd, with a 6.0L. Straight looking truck in good condition. Supposedly everything works on it... except the engine. I'm sure we're all aware of the general problems with the 6.0L, but they're only asking $2500. My question is would you touch it or...

    Boneheaded mistake. How bad is it?

    So, I was changing the fuel mechanical lift pump on my '95 F250 FWD. I had just got it out and cleaning up the valley and, although I literally said I should put a rag over the hole the pump sits in I didn't, and I dropped a 1/4" 5/16th socket in the hole. The good news was it didn't fall into...

    Possible Second PSD Pickup?

    So, I currently have a 95 F250 PSD 4wd 5spd super cab that is in pretty good shape and my daily driver. Overall I've been pretty happy with the truck (I did get get it for a steal). The only issues with the truck have been what I would expect from a 21 year old truck with 289k miles that sat for...

    New Problem, love winter! Vacuum Pump Bearing Out, Pulley Ceased

    So, thanks to old man winter (I never have problems with my truck in the summer so I'm blaming him) my truck continues to have issues. Today, my vacuum pump pulley ceased up on me. I picked up a new pulley and pulley puller kit only to find out 2 problems. One, the pulley wasn't the problem but...

    Fuel in the valley, again.

    I've had my 95 F250 PSD for just about 2 years, the end January will be two years. When I first stole it, err...bought it, the truck was dumping a lot of fuel in the valley. I replaced the fuel pump (which I believe was the actual culprit), banjo bolt crush washers, fuel lines between the fuel...

    So, I'm driving down the road with Nick load it anything, just normal commuting, with some decent hills.

    Another simple question about shocks

    I'm just about in position to replace my completely worn shocks but I need to make sure I get the right ones, of course. Naturally I'm getting Bilsteins. I got part references already but I want to confirm the correct rear shocks. The part I have reference for is Bilstein Rear 24-016186...

    Looking for Advice/ Input

    I currently have a '95 SC F250 PSD, ZF5, 4wd D50, 4.10, with 281,xxx miles. The truck, I'm certain, is sound but needs some routine maintanence considering age and millage. It's my daily driver and I have no worries. It's a pretty good looking truck, also, without rust and pretty straight except...

    General Musing...Super Duty and OBS Seats

    Would the SD seats fit into an OBS cab, physically? Would the bolt up or need mods, if possible?

    OBS Header Panel Options

    The PO on my 95 hit something with the hood just above the passenger headlight. When I checked it the headlight housing was broken and I had another headlight housing and went to replace the broken housing. Turns out the header panel itself was broken. I looked at some panels online and they're...

    WTB Oil Pressure Relief Valve 7.3L PSDA

    I'm looking to buy the oil pressure relief valve for a 7.3L PSD that's in the rear oil cooler head. I have a 95 that is supposed to be peened but it fell out. I don't think I Ned to replace the header but that is the only way too get the valve new, and, you know, that's $300. Thought I'd see if...

    Oil Cooler resealing help

    So, I got the oil cooler out of 95 F250 PSD and replaced the o rings and the front/ back header gaskets. Everything is sealed except the rear header at the bottom. Is there any way to seal this without taking the oil cooler back out of the truck? If not is the gasket still likely to be good or...

    Age Catching Up with the Ole 95 PSD. Need Replacement Part Advice

    So, my 95 F250 5spd 4wd PSD is showing a little age, but that's to be expected at 20 yrs on and 278k+ miles. It needs new shocks, up pipes replaced, U Joint front driver side, and a new driver seat. That's all pretty straight forward. I am looking advice on two specific items. Alternator: I...

    7.3L Trans swap. 2001 Automatic and 1995 ZF5

    This is just for curiosity sake. I am thinking of offering a guy a swap plus cash; my 1995 F250 7.3L 4wd ZF5 for his 2001 F350 SRW 4wd automatic. However, I would definitely rather keep the manual and I'm sure he'd rather have the automatic. What I'm curious about is how straight forward would...

    AC compressor clutch locking up questions.

    So, it's finally gotten hot enough long enough that I decided to fill / check out my AC. At first the compressor pulley wasn't moving so I started adding refrigerant. Then it started turning, then stopping, then turning, then stopping. In short order there was considerable smoke and the...

    Making the third door an option on an OBS SCLB

    I love my 95 super cab and I love the OBS the most of any body styles. I'm not much for the newer body styles but I like to look at them (wait, am I married to the OBS?) What I do really like about the newer bodies is the so called third door on the newer super cabs. So, has anyone attempted to...

    1994 7.3 E4OD torque converter slipping diagnostics

    Okay, so my 94 with the E4OD is getting the code for torque converter slippage, and you can physically tell it's slipping, as in locking and unlocking. However, I'm not completely convinced the torque converter is actually bad. I really think it's electronic in nature, but that could be...

    Specific differences between SRW F350 and an F250

    I am curious what the actually differences between a SRW 350 and a 250. Obviously, the 350 has a higher payload but why and by how much, generally. Also, do you suppose there would be any practical difference between running either one as a daily driver? 1995 Ford F250 SCLB 7.3L PSD 4wd ZF5/...
