    One rear brake locks up

    The hassle of trying to clean oil soak shoes is never worth it. Even a set of cheap shoes is less than 50 bucks but I never look for the cheap ones make sure that the reman shoes you get that the E brake horseshoe on top is not worn out, so your E brake won’t work again. A new spring kit is not...

    Jesus Freaks WMO thread!

    I always love it when somebody tells you what to do on your truck, apparently they either do not have one, or don’t have enough work to do on their own :-)

    help fuel pump fuel curve cam snapped, can I drive?

    no, it is called a face cam, made of cast aluminum that the shaft goes through and rotates with the throttle shaft pushing a plunger for low trim fuel at low rpm, called the face cam. As I did research more, they can crack easily if tightened more than 35 in lbs. Mine was loose on the shaft so...

    help fuel pump fuel curve cam snapped, can I drive?

    No it is the cam face that wraps around the shaft between the valve body and the TPS mount it’s a cast piece that gives an advance curve, it’s a cast aluminum piece with one Torx bolt going through it

    ZF5 LEAK FROM TOP

    Make sure the vent is not plugged, it will force fluid past the boot when building heat. Yes the ZF-5 should have a vent up near the top of the case. On the ZF-6 it's just forward of the shift tower - a fitting that has a loose fitting cap over it.

    Infant car seats in these dinosaurs..

    if you are concerned still, use center buckle and you can mount a used seatbelt behind the seat (single cab) and anchor through the floor with grade 8 bolt and washers to attach to the newer seats with top strap capability. then you have adjustabliity to top of baby carrier

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    See, ultimately the thing is the ones that have been maintained by us who have had them for years are not willing to let them go, even with diesel prices on the rise. Keep looking, they are out there in 2wd because they commonly dont know what they have, 4wd usually has been carefully guarded...

    Thanks! (ATF in the fuel filter does wonders)

    And ditto on the timing, a must, not an option if you want best mileage and starting. Follow IDI tech articles.

    Thanks! (ATF in the fuel filter does wonders)

    Dude, beautiful truck, if you have a heart change you should get good bucks for it. Better speed and mileage would be change to an E4OD built right. Worth the bucks, especially if you have 4.10's like i do!

    Lines at Inj. Pump question

    I have to chime in about controllers I’ve been working on them for almost 40 years the timing unit under the controllers are a big issue and can imitate a bad solenoid because they are filled and youreally can’t diagnose the electronics underneath easily, buying Motorcraft controllers are the...
