    Fluid suggestions for high mileage ZF-5?

    Well it's about time for a fluid change and my ZF is at 380k without a rebuild and I was just wondering if there were any opinions on a slightly different fluid spec considering the mileage/wear. I've been running the Royal Purple ATF and "If it ain't broke don't fix it" but I thought I'd ask...

    Which clear inline fuel pre-filter?

    Finally changing my fuel pump but want to add sufficient filtration before the frame rail mounted pump. Really don't want to go with a header & filter setup and prefer the inline. So I'm just wondering what people have found that flows enough fuel and doesn't clog quickly. The pre-filter on...

    Stripped injector line or injector?

    Was just putting on new return lines and have a real problem now with #3. Unscrewing the #3 injector line was VERY tight compared to others but it came off. When going to reinstall #3 line I noticed that it did not want to sit straight on the threads yet that was how they wanted to start while...

    Thumbs up for 7lb radiator cap!

    I've been running a 7lb cap for about the last 3-4 months and have had zero issues with temps. I have an Auber Instruments digital gauge using their temp probe and notice my temps are maybe a few degrees higher but negligible if at all. I don't tow heavy uphill in 100 degree plus weather so...

    Tricks for removing steering wheel?

    My stiff and clunky steering seems to be rooted in the steering column but now the wrinkle is removing the steering wheel. I bought a puller and some bolts to thread into the two small holes at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions on the steering wheel but while attempting to remove the wheel the...

    New P/S pump but still stiff steering/won't return to center

    Put on a new pump and still have the same symptoms. Steering feels stiff and takes a bit more effort than normal and the steering wheel will not return to center/straight like it usually does. I've never dealt with these symptoms before and some internet reading suggests various things from...

    Preferred brand for power steering pump?

    Well driving home after work tonight my steering suddenly felt a little odd--kind of like trying to steer with the engine off but nowhere near as hard to turn the wheels. Although my p/s pump is only a few years old I'm thinking it is the culprit. Steering box is about 2 years old and the...

    Possible parts truck for cheap '86 F250, no pic so assume the worst.

    https://chico.craigslist.org/cto/d/chico-work-truck/7446614905.html I'm sure the guy could be talked down a bit.

    Door handle control, driver side '92-'97 OBS

    Trying to find just the piece that the inner door handle and cable are attached to. Small bracket with a large spring on it ought to be cheap but all I can find is the whole assembly which is way overpriced...

    Middle/jump seat console fit in 1992 supercab?

    When I recently bought 2 new bucket seats & brackets the guy also gave me the jump seat console and bracket but when I was installing the buckets it seemed the jump seat was a close but not quite fit. I think the seats and brackets were out of a '95 or '96 and the floor pan angles look right...

    Will crewcab bucket seats bolt to SCab brackets?

    Like the title says, will the front bucket seats from a crew cab bolt right up to supercab brackets? I know the CC brackets do not interchange with a supercab but a local guy is selling some nice seats and I was hoping the bolt pattern on the seats themselves would match up with my SCab brackets.

    Wood u buy a high mileage turbo 6.9?

    The truck search continues. Found a very clean '86 250 that appears to be well maintained, but, there's always a but, it has 338k and a sidewinder turbo for the last 150k. How much of a concern are the head bolts and rocker arms? I know anything can be fixed if the budget is there, but it...

    Power seem down? Check accelerator cable.

    Well I hate to admit any degree of stupidity but this time my 1/4 Polish ancestry got the better of mecookoo:frustrate:idiot:. Over the last year my truck just didn't seem to have the same pep and I drive the same roads and hills so any gain or loss is usually noticeable. Now I did have two...

    Tech-Time Mag probe not reading

    I've been trying to time my pump using the Tech-Time 3300-S unit but no matter how the mag probe is positioned I cannot get a reading other than -20.00, which is an error code meaning the probe is positioned incorrectly or a connection is bad. I cleaned out the hole for the pickup and sprayed a...

    Wheel bearing grease type?

    I soon plan to replace my wheel bearings front and rear but am a bit unsure which grease is best. For the Dana 60 up front some info suggests that an NLGI #2 is best while other info specs an NLGI#2 with a Moly additive--percent varies. I found plenty of folks talking about Moly being bad for...

    Dana 60 seals and u-joint replacement

    Quick question here. What seals will I need to have on hand when disassembling a D60 to access the axle u-joints? I've never done this repair and I don't have a parts runner so I really need to have everything before I start. Also gonna' replace lower bearing on the knuckles and grease the...

    Thoughts on potential truck purchase.

    https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/d/santa-cruz-1993-ford-f-turbo-diesel/7080446833.html I just test drove the truck in the ad and the body definitely looks rougher in person but mostly because some trim is missing and the paint is messed up in places where it looks like hood and door wind...

    Thermocouple accuracy question

    Well basically I'm starting to wonder if my pyro is reading accurately. The gauge reads about 10 degrees higher than ambient air temps first thing in the morning--no heated garage and probe mounted in exhaust manifold. Should inside temp of exhaust manifold be the same as ambient? Also I...

    Clist AD Susanville--'89 F250

    https://susanville.craigslist.org/cto/d/susanville-1989-ford-f250-diesel/7057260678.html Ad says mileage unknown and thought to be 287k but the truck looks awful clean and I would bet the mileage is more likely 187k. Of course there could be tons of hidden problems but a nice looking '89 none...

    e4od and how much to toughen it up?

    Found another nice low-mileage '94 IDIT but it has an e4od which for some reason scares me. How much power can the stock internals of the e4od take before you are really rolling the dice? I would add an aux cooler and upgrade the TC but I have seen such a huge range of costs for upgrading the...
