    Does anyone know if those Hydroboost units off the larger mid duty ford chassis trucks from the mid 80s that had the electric pump backup would fit on our trucks instead of the little wimpy accumulator that only gives you one good backup stop in event of a stall. I ask after a little er...

    Yup you read that right. The truck has been running a bit on the wimpy side lately and we took the 5er out this weekend and I couldnt get but 5 lbs boost so I figure it was time to tickle the fuel screw a bit one last time before replacing the pump, but I get to digging around in there and I'm...

    FOr those wondering about the Scotseal XL plus for the rear hub seals on the 10.25...

I had to pull one of my hubs to replace it due to some axle bolts...

    Poly axle pivot bushings

I bought a set of those things and the instructions say to reuse the old shell from the old bushings, but they make zero mention of how to get the old bushing out.

    Wheel studs

    The books seem to list the F350 and 250 with the 10.25 as having the same hub, does this also include the dually and if so do they all use the same size studs? i've had a nasty little incident with a bad batch of fastenal bolts to where they are all deciding to fail on one side ( the bolts I...

    Stewart Warner gauge hookups

    I got ahold of some neat old used Stewart warner gauges, but I managed to loose the diagrams of where the wires went when I yanked them. I think I've figured them all out but the temp gauges. I'm pretty sure the S is for signal, and obviously gnd is ground, but there is an "I" terminal as...
