    Trouble with Raylan: low oil pressure and massive blow by.

    Hi Gang! Our 170,xxx mi. '94 4×4 e4od idit F250, Raylan, recently started drinking more oil. I first noticed it on a 1300 mi. round to Virginia Beach to pick up a 96 geo tracker for a VW IDI diesel swap. These motors are loose and tend to use some oil, so I wasn't too concerned, but the oil...

    Help! Minimum equipment needed? LPHV or old school?

    Hi Gang! I'm considering getting back into doing my own paint and body work. 20 + years ago, I owned a shop with a buddy, we did all types of restorations and engine building. He was a bit of a genius, and was fantastic with a spray gun! It's been a long time, but with Fred's guidance, I did my...

    7.3 ATS '91 Engine: what's it worth?

    Hey Gang! Much to my relief I found a local junkyard in our new AO that is also filled with diesel, many of the Ford persuasion! Bunch of cool stuff, the guys are really friendly and I'm just starting to dig around but one of the things that caught my eye was this engine so, what do you think...

    Windshield wipers making a new loud noise.

    Hi gang! I'm pretty deaf or as the PC crowd would say, hearing impaired. We were driving yesterday, and my wife Marketa pointed out that the wipers were making a new sound. After she pointed it out, I was able to pick up what sounds like a groaning noise with every pass of the wipers. Their...

    Electrical Gremlins...

    I've been a bit plagued by some electrical anomalies! Cruise control quit, mysterious e4od trouble codes and the most baffling (to me at least), I'm still having starting problems! Intermittently - 1 in 15, sometimes 2-3x in a row, I'll turn the key and although the fender mounted solenoid...

    '94 factory trailer plug fuse?

    Hi gang! I'm trying to wire a 7 Blade trailer plug onto my 94 F250. It has the factory pigtails and I have located the brake, turn signals, brake controller and running light wires. However, 12v is not happening. For trucks that came with the factory pigtail, does anyone know if there is a fuse...

    Which starter is correct? Educate me...

    Hi All! I pulled the starter from Raylan, my '94 idit. It looks like this: When I search for the starter for my truck, I come up with two more, here they are: will they all work in my '94 e4od truck? I pull the known good one out of my '90 e4od truck and it's identical to the second one...

    Intermittent starter problem

    Is the starter solenoid available separately? I'm thinking Raylan's is on the way out. A couple of weeks ago, I turn the key and nothing, but I've got plenty of juice, so I try jumping it with a screwdriver under the hood - nothing. So I go under the truck with my trusty screwdriver and jump it...

    Best aftermarket differential covers?

    I'm going to service both diffs on Raylan('94 f250 4x4) before we head down to Florida for the winter. It'd sure be nice to have drain/fill plugs for future ease of service. Any suggestions or reccommendations on some good aftermarket covers that won't break the bank?
