    Anyone had this problem?

    So admittedly, I don't drive my trucks very often. I used my 2000 to make a couple of runs over the past few weeks and noticed a vibration at 75mph. Stopped by the tire shop since I was out and my pressures were all over the place, so they corrected them and it made a slight improvement. Next...

    Into the deep end...

    So after much searching for a donor trans, I've decided to try to rebuild the ZF6 myself. About $250 in parts and a couple of additional tools I didn't own. Parts should be in this week, and as soon as my concrete isn't a block of ice, I'll get under and take pictures of the process. Mainly...

    Interchangeable years and trans update

    I've been digging through this site and the internet to find out what years have parts that are swappable to other years. Can someone clear this up? As an aside, I swapped out my trans fluid (ZF6/Pennzoil synchromesh). Should I notice an immediate improvement, or does it need to be swished...

    ZF6 grinding

    Trying to put out the feelers on this. Recently purchased a 2000 F250 4x4. Had a decent grind from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I'm thinking it's the synchros. Put fresh fluids in and it quieted down, but still bad when downshifting. Question is, do I year this thing apart and try to rebuild...

    I did it again!

    I think it's turning into a sickness :puke:. Once you get rid of spark plugs, it seems like there's no going back. My 92 7.3 is still running like a champ, but I saw a Facebook deal I couldn't pass up, so now it's got company with a 2000 7.3 PSD with the Banks turbo and 6 speed MT. Previous...

    7.3 NA down

    Been trying to troubleshoot this thing all day and can't get it figured out. Went to start my truck and it was completely dead. Figured batteries, but they check out. Came back and reconnected everything and the lights work, but when I go to turn the key, it shorts out and loses all power...

    Coffee can replacement and work done

    So today, I tackled something I've been lazy on, but it brought forth questions. I replaced my fuel pump (lift pump), changed the front brakes, and replaced the vacuum line going to the coffee can reservoir. On the can, there are 2 rubber nipples where the plastic elbow connects to the line from...

    I'm still falling in love...for now...

    WITH MY TRUCK!!! So, I don't know proper procedure on this :dunno, but I had a couple of other threads that didn't quite fit anymore, so I'm starting this one. To summarize for those that didn't read the other ones... I bought the truck in my signature about 2 months ago for what I thought...

    Throttle cable and linkage

    Driving home tonight my accelerator lost all resistance and jammed up. Looked under the hood and the plastic piece that rests inside the spring is broken, so it catches on the end of the tube instead of sliding inside of it. I'm guessing it's an easy fix (swap out the plastic bit) or will I need...

    EBC prewired?

    Just wanted to see if my truck has a wiring harness for the electronic brake controller. I looked under the steering column to the left where one EBC manufacturer said it would be, but couldn't find it. I kept prodding around and found the what I'm guessing is the computer. Just to the right of...

    Gut check me....please!

    Hello all, newbie to the forum and rookie when it comes to diesels. I just picked up a 1992 F250 4X4 7.3IDI non-turbo M/T with just over 310K miles. She starts up fine every time and sounds good. Guy I bought her from had some knowledge, but not sure what all he rigged up. I'm currently in the...
