    How does the RABS valve work?

    i know it's a rear antilock brake system but how does it work? I don't believe there is a leveling sensor for rear loading like a proportioning valve that changes pressure based on bed height/load. Does it run off of the ring gear sensor speed sensor for the obs trucks to detect lock up? I...

    What causes engine light to illuminate on 1990 7.3l NA?

    Because of some alternator wiring issues I saw, I assumed the alternator was bad on the 1990 truck I purchased and that's why the light was on. Im finally getting around to working on it now and alternator is fine putting our 13.8 to 14.0 at idle. The oil pressure gauge works, the...

    Perfect new glow plug harness (Cheap too!)

    I made a harness a few months ago with 10 gauge wiring and those bullet connectors. I wasnt too happy with the bullet connectors they stayed on but not very tight and i've had a couple vibrate loose. So i found the 6.0L power stroke harnesses are readily available and have nice connectors and...

    Do i need to press this part back on with the carrier bearing? Does direction matter?

    I am replacing u joints and carrier bearing today since the rubber was loose on my old one. I pulled off this spacer or shield first then the carrier bearing? Does it serve any purpose other than keeping the shaft clean so you can press a bearing on an off easier? Also does the direction of the...

    How to verify injection pump/cam timing

    Hey guys I just installed a new injection pump, haven't finished up with the install of everything else yet but thought it might be a good idea to verify cam gear was in the correct place.

    Why does my rebuilt turbo from Conestoga diesel have a bent/broken housing?

    I put this turbo on about 6 or 7,000 miles ago. I loosened the 6 bolts to clock it for the intercooler install today (you definitely have to loosen the pedastal bolts to get to bottom bolt type4 haha) and noticed it was hard to rotate. When it finally rotated I saw the orange gasket come out the...
