    Confused transmission

    My E4OD in my F350 has been doing some funny things every now and then lately. Sometimes my overdrive off light will start flashing And it will start bumping into gear. Sometimes coming out to the first into second it seems like my torque converter is not catching. When I’ll be Accelerating...

    Leaking diesel

    I got the problem fixed last night. Just cut a small section out and replaced it with rubber fuel line. Now the question is what’s the best way to go about getting the air out of the system without burning up my starter?

    Leaking diesel

    That’s what I was thinking at first but wasn’t sure if I could get away with that being they are high pressure lines.

    Leaking diesel

    Noticed something dripping toward the back of the engine when I got home from work last night. After investigation it turned your to be one of the hard fuel lines that cuts from the driver side frame across the bell housing and up into the engine bay. Seems like it connects to the fuel filter...

    Thermostat housing seal

    Do y’all think I could have a blown head gasket and it’s over pressuring the cooling system and that’s the weak point? I have had to replace radiator a couple times.

    Thermostat housing seal

    I have motorcraft thermostat in it. It’s all I’ve ever run. I have inspected the housing well and cleaning the hell out of the flange. It always leaks at the lower bolt.

    Thermostat housing seal

    OK yeah I have never even thought about taking that one off. Most of the good ones won’t even come with that ring around the outside

    Thermostat housing seal

    Wait, so you are supposed to leave that gasket around the outer edge? I have always been told to remove it. I do have a motorcade stat.

    Thermostat housing seal

    Do y’all recommend putting a sealant on both sides of the gasket or just one side against the housing and none against the block? I have tried it both ways with no luck.

    Thermostat housing seal

    I am having the hardest time trying to get my thermostat housing to seal on my 7.3 turbo since I replaced the thermostat. I have taken it on and off easily 5 times trying every sealing process I can. What have y’all had luck with finally getting it to seal as far as techniques for installation...

    eBay turbo cartridge

    does anybody have any experience with this turbo cartridge they sell on eBay. Suppose to be pretty much bolt in and come balanced. Damn near the only one I can find ready to go like this.

    Powerstroke turbo in place of factory idi turbo

    will they fit and can it be done? I have to rebuild or get a new turbo and they seem ridiculously priced. I have noticed though that every time Im searching for 7.3idi garret turbo I’m getting a ton of early Powerstroke turbos popping up and they are a quarter of the price. Anyone have any input?

    What do y’all pull with your truck?

    Luckily the only grades I deal with in south Mississippi are interstate over passes and the boat launch I pull the boat from

    What do y’all pull with your truck?

    I tote a Mako 295. I originally bought the champagne 350 to pull it with when I initially bought the boat. Has early 2000’s lariat seats in it but unfortunately has a 351 and is a dog. I went and got my idi because the gas burner struggled pulling it. Specially at higher speeds. Couldn’t be...

    New shoes on the 350

    Exactly! They have those weird square fender wells that are y’all as hell but hardly have enough room between them for stock tires. After I put these tires on my truck I realized I could easily have gone 37’s with the room I have but I’m not too into the fender wells being stuffed.

    New shoes on the 350

    My wheels are rather skinny. Not sure of the exact width. I would like to get different wheels in the future. The logical move would have been to get new tires and wheels at the same time but I’m trying out the whole “responsible with my money” thing everyone is always preaching to me.

    New shoes on the 350

    No it has an airbag system in the back and it had a 1” lift up front with the 285’s. The front wasn’t going to clear so I pulled the 1” off and replaced with a 3” before having the new tires mounted. Clears fine with no issues at all. I have always been a fan of proportionally lifting and...

    New shoes on the 350

    New shoes on the 350

    just went and picked up a new set of federal courageous for my truck and couldn’t be more pleased. Quiet tire, smooth riding, don’t snatch and pull on worn in roads. Very affordable. I would highly recommend them.

Having trouble pulling it back straight to line up the center pins on the spring perch. Wondering if I’m gunna have to remove sway bar links or unbolt the leaf springs...

    7.3 idi coolant issues

    I got the new radiator put in, put new overflow hose, new radiator cap, and resealed the thermostat housing. Help for an hour and started leaking around the back of thermostat housing. I know it’s not the housing this time because it’s only leaking when the truck is running. It looked like there...

    7.3 idi coolant issues

    I pulled everything off and just went to reseal the thermostat housing and that little ball bearing is gone. Is that necessary or can I do without it?

    7.3 idi coolant issues

    I haven’t had a chance to change the radiator yet due to all the holidays but tomorrow I’m gonna go ahead and swap it out along with the gasket on the thermostat housing where it was originally leaking from. I’ll also replace the hose going to the overflow tank as well as the radiator cap. I...
