    Plastic return line cap melted? How to prevent in the future.

    The cap ID is the same, the rubber hose between the caps is different early to late. The early caps have the hose barb centered on the cap, on the late ones they are offset. Since the R&D rails are one piece, they will work on 6.9 and 7.3.

    Plastic return line cap melted? How to prevent in the future.

    They’re not all the same. The 6.9 and some early 7.3 caps used 3/16 in hose, the later 7.3 caps used 1/4 in hose.

    What is this?

    What you are experiencing is fuel drain back. There are seals in the hard lines into the filter head and from the filter to the IP. After that, your return lines may need to be replaced.

    In over my head

    The only thing that would require engine removal is the oil pan reseal. From the factory, these engines used rtv to seal the oil pan. If you use a gasket, it will leak. Check to see if your leaks are coming from the top of the engine before you think about re-sealing the pan.

    How bad... is this trans leak.

    I would start with the input shaft seal. It's a common leak point, usually shows up when the trans is warm.

    Conestoga Diesel (in PA) = Moose Diesel (in SC)?

    I don't blame the oil companies, businesses exist to make a profit. I blame the politicians that make policies that reduce supply, thus pushing prices higher.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The early 99 engine has different injectors, a smaller turbo, different intake manifold and plenums, the up pipes are different, and some other components that were changed on the 1999.5 engine

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The badge on the fender by the headlamp means it's an early 99.

    Alternator putting out low voltage/injector replacement

    When I upgraded to a 3g alt, it didn't come with a bolt. I drilled out the hole and tapped it to reuse the original bolt.

    I found a cross reference chart for the FL 1995, and it mentions a MANN ML1020, and a W1180. https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/MOTORCRAFT/FL%201995

    Lift pump mechanical or electrical?

    Our IPs are calibrated for an inlet pressure of approx 5 psi, so the 6-7.5 would be fine.
