    Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help...I'm learning as I go so this might be a real noob sort of question. I was replacing my blower motor and disconnected a big connector that runs to the glow plug relay, just so I could get a little more room to maneuver. Got the new blower motor in...

    Heater hose ID

    Hi all, I need to replace a heater hose that connects to the engine block. On the photo below (thanks to cre1992) you can see where the hose connects at the sticky-outy thing right above and between cylinders 1 and 3. I'm struggling to figure out what's the correct hose to order. Thank you!

    Black grease in brake drum.

    My brakes were a bit soft so I went under to give the starwheela a crank and noticed wetness around my left rear drum. Took it off and found a healthy coating of greasy grey stuff all over everything in there. It's not brake fluid--it's slick like grease and there's no leaking around the...

    Radiator spec for 88 Econoline?

    Hi all, anyone know a radiator that will fit an 88 Econoline 7.3? My Chilton's manual lists it in the diagram as part number "8005" but searching this returns nothing. Searching by make/model has turned up some F-series aftermarket radiators but I'm not sure if they're the same for the vans...
