    Water Pump

    Got my new water pump installed, used rtv on the bolts which needed it. Problem is I had damaged my water pump pulley. So tonight I am still looking for the o.g. part # and am wondering if a 460 “3” V-Belt pulley is the same as our diesels. Or if anyone has one they’d sell them hit me up, thanks

    Hub Temps

    Y’all ever use a laser thermometer and check the temps of the hubs? Shot mine today after a 20mile trip, was 125*F at the base of the hub at the rim and 110*F near the chrome ring. Might have been hashed out here before but didn’t see any hits on my search. More than anything was looking at...

    Upgraded LUK clutch kit?

    For my 83 in my signature, got the T-19 4 speed. Anybody ever run the upgraded 12” clutch vs the standard 11”? The upgrade 12” clutch is a LUK 07-065 vs standard 11" LUK 07-026

    Shop didn’t properly install pressure plate

    Figured out what caused weird clutch action and vibration, shop hadn’t torqued the bolts down correctly...and are those pressure plate bolts supposed to have washers to?

    Did my grandpa add a fix to the clutch rod?

    Tomorrow I’m installing a new clutch master cylinder and hose, the slave is brand new and installed. Had a new clutch kit installed and since I had I blew the old slave cylinder out and figured it’s time to service the hydraulics and pedal bushing. I’ve read about a lot of the methods used to...

    Slave cylinder travel

    this look about right? After the shop did my rear main and installed a Brute Force clutch kit I have to just about depress my clutch pedal to the floor, when I let off after going into gear I have about an 1” of pedal before it engages. I used to be able to go into gear with the clutch pedal...

    Any body in Oregon know about this truck?

    https://m.ebay.com/itm/1986-Ford-F-250-XLT/202202366972?_mwBanner=1&ul_ref=https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202202366972&rvr_id=0&ul_noapp=true Looks like it was stored in a time capsule. Bet it probably still needs a few thousand dollars put in...

    Just had my rear main seal replaced,

    Had my rear main seal replaced, a brute force 11” clutch and kit installed and my fly wheel resurfaced. This is what I saw when I pullled my inspection cover before I took my truck to the shop. Shop had used the Felpro rear main seal and the cork gasket for the plate. I asked them to use...

    Cold Starts

    It’s cold out, and with a lot of us in the south whose trucks don’t normally see these kind of temps figured we should post our cold starts in this thread. I know there’s a few of us who like seeing them!! Got down to 22* in Katy,TX at our place last night. Nothing like how it was in Alaska...

    Headlights flickered off last night

    The headlights only turned off once for about a second, so today I’m gonna tackle the headlights relay mod. While I’m at it I figured I should replace and the dimmer switch on the floor and I’m not sure if it’s necessary to do the actual headlight switch to. Would you guys do the headlight...

    My 1st Blackstone-Labs report,

    not sure why the lead was higher than average, it’s a lower mileage engine. Any of y’all ever see lead values this high. Since this report I had switched oil from Chevron 15w-40 SDE CK4 to Motorcraft oil and had always used a Motorcraft Filter. before?

    Weird noise from behind the dash?

    Have never heard this noise before, doesn’t sound like engine or drivetrain noise. Anybody ever hear anything like this? I had replaced the speedo cable about 6 months back and wondering if it might be related to the noise as it’s coming from that area. Around 20seconds and 28seconds it first...

    Seat belt extension

    Found 2 of these behind my seat while looking for my build sheet. Did these come with the trucks back then and any body still have these? Apparently seat belts on the 80’s models weren’t long enough for those of us who are well nourished, ha ha!!

    CDR Valve

    After installing a new cowl to hood seal I Pulled off my air cleaner assembly to have a look at the CDR valve. There was no evidence of water in the oil and the air cleaner isn't caked in oil either. Although there is a slight bit of oil on the air cleaner bolt. Is this what they're supposed...

    Sending unit wiring Pigtail

    anybody know of a source for the pigtail that would plug into my sending unit (for an 85-86)? Closest thing I could find is one from the mustang, and parts stores only list a 4pin plug. Anybody know for sure, mine is toast. Been searching online for hours, also going to call the ford dealer...

    1983 F250 w/ factory semi float Dana 60

    After way to many hours to count of research, after taping together the build sheet, verifying the VIN codes, going over dealer paperwork which was in the glovebox and cleaning axle tags to read them I verified that my truck has a semi float Dana 60 LS w/ 3.54's (VIN code C3) in my early 1983...

    Axle seals

    Just pumped out and refilled my rear diff with 80w-90 gl5. Took her for a spin and after I got home I noticed this after looking underneath for any leaks, guessing it may be an axle seal? Rear brakes and wheel cylinders are all new, I hadn't noticed anything on the backside of my brakes until...

    Engine has a new ticking sound at idle

    No power loss or oil consumption, this new ticking noise at idle started today. Anybody recognize that sound? Not overly worried, just trying to see if anybody else recognizes it. Seems to be from the front passenger side, and isn't noticeable at higher rpms. So probably isn't a pulley...
