    Ford 10.25 rear end, JUNK??

    Thats interesting. It would be really nice if it were splines. Im going to pop off the cover tomorow and see. I can turn it nearly 1/4 turn and watch the yoke nut move with it. The howl is pretty loud, sounds JUST like the van did!! The van was a sterling ford 10.25, I remember that part as I...

    Ford 10.25 rear end, JUNK??

    Ok, these things look beefy enough to rival a Dana 60, The one in my fleet van (97 E250 E4OD 5.4) failed early this year, howling and clunking...now the one in my recently acquired personal vehicle (89 F250 4x4 7.3) is howling and the gear lash appears quite excessive. My fleet truck dropped one...

    R&R heater core w/AC

    This looks similiar, the truck is an 89. The dash looks different but I think the basic layout is the same. This should go fairly well. I hope so, the howling clanking rear end is next on the block! Thanks for the whisdom. Tony

    R&R heater core w/AC

    I did one a while back w/o AC and it was pretty simple, Should I allocate more time to do the AC one. Is it more of a bitch? I snagged the core at Napa for $19. and hope to throw it in this evening. THANKS Tony

    Ever feel kicked in the nuts?

    Forgiveness is easier to get than permission ;Sweet In 12 years of marriage I have about a 5% permission success rate and about a 60% forgiveness success rate, I have purchased 95% of the items/objects/toys considered worthy. She gets over it in time. The fastest way to loose testicular...

    Firewall Stiffener?

    John: I recently went through this. There are 2 different kits for firewall reinforcement depending on the extent of the cracking around the clutch master. I didnt have much flex at all so I went and got the small kit from ford and it was < $5.00. I was dissapointed to go to install it and...

    Project truck has another compressor!

    I ran a York compressor off my former 86 F250 gasser and used the tubular bumpers as the air tanks. It worked quite well. W/the york compresor it aired up very quickly and I had ample pressure to run air tools w/no problem Some ppl use old fire extinguishers under the bed to store compressed...

    Code "BB" injectors?

    I just called Dieselcare, He discribed it as a shipping error. He was nice about it so I accepted his offer of a refund for the difference. I found a local diesel performance outfit that will change the injectors' shimming to have a 2000psi pop-off point for just a little more than the...

    Code "BB" injectors?

    I just recieved my injectors from Dieselcare, They are not the G code, they are not BB either, they are B code. I cant seem to find that in the archives, what the hell are they? I paid for turbo code injectors and the shipping slip designates TURBO injectors. So what is the B code injectors...

    Setting timing by pulse method...

    Can I deduct that I can time my 89 7.3 w/a conventional timing light? My book doesnt cover timing this way (or IP/injector specifics) If it can be done w/a timing light can someone lay down the basic proceedure (how diff. from gasser) My chilton obviously is lacking in some important areas...

    Code "BB" injectors?

    I just ordered TURBO injectors (reman) from diesel care. I spotted him on ebay but called him and did a phone order rather than over Ebay (bad idea perhaps?) He seemed pretty helpful on the phone, He assured me several times that they would be the turbo code injectors and that they were...

    Dual Flowmasters on an IDI?

    I have been running a Banks Moster exhaust muffler (and whole system) 3"inlet and 3.5" outlet w/my turbo 7.3, between the turbo AND the muffler its to quiet. I have no exhaust note at all. This Banks muffler might work really nicely w/a NA mill. Im going to pull it off and run straight 3.5"...

    WMO (synthetics and/or gear oil ok?)

    I have searched the archives here. I already see that high concentrates are a bad idea. Is 2-3 gal:20gal diesel a bad thing, is that lean enough to not harm the engine in any way? I want to burn it but not at the cost of shortening engine life. Can I burn gear oil and synthetic ATF/Gear oil...

    Voltage dropping intermittently

    Starts perfectly, which is good because we have a winter storm warning effective for the next 2 days. I nipped it just in time and must thank all here for all the help and enduring the relentless questions. My babys all good! Tony

    Voltage dropping intermittently

    Just a little sidenote. I noticed on the way home tonight that the voltage dipping problem dissapeared w/the installation of new glow plugs. I dont know why but I will still do the light mods asap!

    Voltage dropping intermittently

    I just got my Motorcraft Beru GPs in. I was really fearing why the PO replaced SOME of them. I figured he tried to replace all and couldnt get a few of them out. To my delight they all slid out in tact just fine, there were 3 Crapolites, One champoin, 2 Bosch and 2 Motorcraft. The non...

    Voltage dropping intermittently

    I live in SD but just got the truck over Ebay from NE from original owner. He had some of the glowplugs replaced but not sure why only some. The WTS light works about 3 sec and is hard to start unless warm/plugged in. I have read that this is a symptom of GPs. Somehow I doubt he installed...

    Voltage dropping intermittently

    I tried to keep an eye on it today while I could drive w/o headlamps and I didnt notice it doing anything but flinching a little here and there but not to the extremes of nighttime driving. I will pull the headlight mod since its a problem area anyway. Its one less thing Ill have to worry...

    Voltage dropping intermittently

    I drive home at night and notice the voltage dropping every little while. Everything dims and the needle sits on the red. It will return to normal for a minute or two, then back down........up........down......up.....down every minute or so. I found a thread in the archives that described...

    Gear Splitters?

    I just bought an 89 F250 4x4, 410 gears, 5speed w/the Gear Vendors Overdrive system in it. I had to drive the truck from NE to SD after picking it up. I can only say that Im pretty happy to have the OD. I notice a significant improvement in hiway MPG and drivability. That 550 mile drive has made...
