    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I just bought a DTI Tech Time 3300-s timing meter off eBay a couple weeks ago. I’ve read plenty of threads on this site and others saying that the probe has to be filed to fit or the bracket hole has to be opened up slightly. I went ahead and filed the probe slightly and it fits good in the hole...

    Banks Kit Question (1st Generation)

    I have the opportunity to buy a first gen banks turbo for a very good deal. I have done some searching and I’ve found a lot of good information on this turbo kit. This particular setup is on a 6.9L van with an automatic transmission (C6) and would be going onto my 7.3L manual transmission F250...

    Auxiliary Fuse Box

    Hello everybody, I’ve done quite a bit of searching on this but haven’t found too much info, especially with photos. I am wanting to add some additional lights to my truck as well as the headlight relay mod and maybe some other fun electrical projects down the road. I really prefer things to...

    Power Steering Line Leak

    I noticed my low pressure power steering fitting was seaping a little right at the input in the box. The box is a new Motorcraft unit. The fitting is good and tight. Is there supposed to be an o-ring in this connection anywhere. I also don’t see this hose listed on any parts stores website.

    AC Evaporator Core Cover Help

    I took my evaporator core out of the truck several weeks ago to clean and flush for an AC rebuild. I went to put it back in yesterday and could not get the cover to go on. The 11mm stud on the firewall is preventing me from sliding the box on. I have tried every angle I can think of. Do you just...

    Can Someone Explain A/C Oil

    Can someone please explain the A/C oil situation. A lot of resources I have read so far make it seem over complicated and not very clear. I’m trying to retrofit my R12 system in my 91 F250 to run R134A. I planned on replacing my accumulator and orifice tube, pulling a vacuum, and then charging...

    Blue Top vs. Motocraft Remanufactured Steering Gear

    Over the weekend I installed a Cardone remanufactured steering gear and it didn’t really tighten my steering up as much as I had hoped. I think I am going to take it back. There’s still 3” or so of “free play” around the center point. Rag Joint, intermediate shaft, tie rods, ball joints are all...

    Steering Shaft Shim

    Last night I was pulling my steering gear box out to replace it and it brought the lower portion of the steering shaft with it. I should have made sure the splined connection was loose first but I thought the weight of the box would help it out. Unfortunately, now I cannot find the piece of...

    Bad Injector - How to Locate?

    It's been a while but after a couple of years of great service I've had problem come up on my 7.3 N/A IDI. This forum helped me greatly a couple of years back when I was going though an injection pump problem so I figured this would be the best place to ask. The truck had been running...

    Torch to Spindle

    I am in the middle of a ball joint job and it looks like I may be the first person to service this Dana 50 axle since the truck was new in 1991. After I removed the spindle nuts, the spindle itself was seized to the knuckle. I had already done the other side so I new I was in for a fight but...

    Trailer Brake Harness

    I have a 91 F250 with a factory trailer brake harness that is giving me problems. The red/green wire is not giving me 12V like it should when the brake pedal is pressed. The lights work though and the green wire that runs to the switch in the actual pedal gets a switched 12V. Does anyone know...

    Pivot Bushing

    I'm getting ready to tear into my d50 front axle to replace my ball joints, axle u-joints, and shocks. I really do not have any interest in doing a "full rebuild" as this truck doesn't see much if any heavy work. However, in just looking at the axle, the only thing I see to really do other than...

    Seatbelt Options

    I’ve noticed that driver side seat belt in my 91 single cab does not lock up when I pull out quickly on it nor does it retract and roll itself back up. I know it should do both because the passenger side does so. The only place I’ve seen any OEM style replacements are LMC and they are quite...

    Dana D50 TTB Part Number Confusion

    I am trying to order parts to freshen up the front end on my 1991 F250 with a D50. I was planning on using RockAuto to order most of the parts but I am getting confused on parts for the D50 vs the D60. On several components, the two options seems to be a 3850 lb axle (D44) and a 4600 (D60). I...

    Used Banks Kit

    I’ve been wanting to turbocharge my n/a 7.3L for a while now. I found a project truck online that the owner is now trying to part out. It has a second gen Banks Sidewinder kit on it. The kit was part of the project so it’s not even fully installed yet but it appears to be complete. He is asking...

    1356 Transfer Case Teardown

    I tore down a spare Borg Warner 1356 to rebuild/reseal it and do the pump arm modification. Well, when I got in there, the rib that holds the pump arm was already worn through. It didn't appear that the pump had spun though. The filter hose was still attached to the filter and showed no sign of...

    Missing Manifold Bolt

    Over the past month or so my truck had started leaking a few drops of oil on the ground after driving it. It wasn't a lot but it hadn't previously leaked any so I wanted to at least track it down. It was dripping off of the starter, onto the exhaust, and then on to the ground. I know anything in...

    Non Tilt Steering Column

    The ignition cylinder in my truck was getting to be very hard to turn when it’s cold outside. It is a non-tilt column. I’ve read up on it and I knew I was looking at replacing the ignition actuator rod or at least lubing it. I pulled the steering wheel and it was completely different than the...

    4WD on Dry Pavement

    I had a quick question for the forum. I've been using my truck to tow my boat to and from the lake. Its a single cab long bed so it tends to spin the tires pulling the boat off the ramp (even just the trailer for that matter), so usually I have to kick it down into 4WD for a second to get...

    4WD Trouble

    I’ve been having to use my 4WD quite a bit lately and I’ve discovered an issue I’d like to get resolved. For some reason, my truck doesn’t seem to want to stay in 4WD. This only occurs in 4 Hi and the shifter goes in and out extremely smooth. Also, the shifter doesn’t actually pop out or move...

    Brake Caliper or Hose

    I have experienced a sticking left front caliper a few times in the past couple of months. Both times it has happened while cruising on the interstate seemingly randomly (not after a hard stop or anything). The steering wheel starts shaking and I start to notice a pretty hard pull to left. I get...

    First Road Trip in the IDI

    Hello everybody, Over Memorial Day weekend I had the opportunity to use my 91 F250 to move a load of furniture on about a 200 mile round trip. It's the first longer trip I've taken my truck since I bought about a year ago. The truck is N/A with a Mini Moose injection pump that I also bought...

    Steering Column

    The steering column in my 91 F250 has seen better days. The metal tube is actually broke in several places (see pic below) causing it to have some pretty severe side to side and up and down play in it. Rather than try to weld on this one or fix it I'd like to just replace it with a good used...

    Cab Light Wiring

    I have read many posts on wiring up the cab or clearance lights on pre-1997 F-series pickups and they all make mention of the factory 12V plug being in one of the kick panels. However, now that I’m trying to find it on my 1991, I don’t see it anywhere. I’ve searched this site and others and I’ve...

    Not Enough Coolant Recovered

    I have a question regarding a coolant flush/change I am in the middle of. So my coolant was very nasty when I drained it. Unfortunately I didn't measure how much came out originally but I assumed I would get 7-8 gallons (using block drains+radiator drain) as I have read on OB many times. I have...
